Analog Servo Drive BE12A6 
Description 
Power Range 
Peak Current 12 A 
Continuous Current 6 A 
Supply Voltage 20 - 60 VDC 
The BE12A6 PWM servo drive is designed to drive brushless DC motors at a high switching frequency. A single red/green LED indicates operating status. The drive is fully protected against over-voltage, under voltage, over-current, over-heating and short-circuits across motor, ground and power leads. Furthermore, the drive can interface with digital controllers or be used stand-alone, and requires only a single unregulated DC power supply. Loop gain, current limit, input gain and offset can be adjusted using 14- turn potentiometers. The offset adjusting potentiometer can also be used as an on-board input signal for testing purposes. This drive can use quadrature encoder inputs for velocity control.

Notes 
1. 
Maximum duration of peak current is ~2 seconds. 
2. 
Lower inductance is acceptable for bus voltages well below maximum. Use external inductance to meet requirements. 
3. 
Additional cooling and/or heatsink may be required to achieve rated performance.

Through-hole Components† 
Location 
Description 
C8* 
Velocity Loop Integrator. Through-hole capacitor that can be added for more precise velocity loop tuning. See section below on Tuning with Through-hole components for more details. 
Tuning With Through-hole Components 
In general, the drive will not need to be further tuned with through-hole components. However, for applications requiring more precise tuning than what is offered by the potentiometers and dipswitches, the drive can be manually modified with through-hole resistors and capacitors as denoted in the above table. By default, the through-hole locations are not populated when the drive is shipped. Before attempting to add through-hole components to the board, consult the section on loop tuning in the installation notes on the manufacturer’s website. Some general rules of thumb to follow when adding through-hole components are: 
• 
A larger resistor value will increase the proportional gain, and therefore create a faster response time. 
• 
A larger capacitor value will increase the integration time, and therefore create a slower response time. 
Proper tuning using the through-hole components will require careful observation of the loop response on a digital oscilloscope to find the optimal through-hole component values for the specific application. 
†Note: Damage done to the drive while performing these modifications will void the warranty.

ON, by default, for current mode and OFF for other modes. Inactive Active 4 Test/Offset. Switches the function of the Test/Offset pot between an on-board command input for testing or a command offset adjustment. OFF by default.

This may be required to prevent a run-away condition. Potentiometer Functions Potentiometer Description Turning CW 1 Loop gain adjustment for open loop / velocity modes. Turn this pot fully CCW in current mode. Increases gain 2 Current limit. It adjusts both continuous and peak current limit while maintaining their ratio. Increases limit 3 Reference gain. Adjusts the ratio between input signal and output variables (voltage, current, or velocity). Increases gain 4 Offset / Test. Used to adjust any imbalance in the input signal or in the amplifier. Can also be used as an on-board signal source for testing purposes. Adjusts offset in negative direction Note: Potentiometers are approximately linear and have 12 active turns with 1 inactive turn on each end. Through-hole Components† Location Description C8* Velocity Loop Integrator. Through-hole capacitor that can be added for more precise velocity loop tuning. See section below on Tuning with Through-hole components for more details. Tuning With Through-hole Components In general, the drive will not need to be further tuned with through-hole components. However, for applications requiring more precise tuning than what is offered by the potentiometers and dipswitches, the drive can be manually modified with through-hole resistors and capacitors as denoted in the above table. By default, the through-hole locations are not populated when the drive is shipped. Before attempting to add through-hole components to the board, consult the section on loop tuning in the installation notes on the manufacturer’s website. Some general rules of thumb to follow when adding through-hole components are: • A larger resistor value will increase the proportional gain, and therefore create a faster response time. • A larger capacitor value will increase the integration time, and therefore create a slower response time. Proper tuning using the through-hole components will require careful observation of the loop response on a digital oscilloscope to find the optimal through-hole component values for the specific application. †Note: Damage done to the drive while performing these modifications will void the warranty.
