Class 1
Our class 1 servo consists of the following circuits: position differentiator, position amplifier,
error integrator, current integrator, and summing amplifier. The ttansfer fimction can be
characterized by the following differential equation:
V(t) = Al • d rVpos(t)) + A2 • Vpos(t) + A3 • jError(t)dt + A4 • Jl(t)dt
dt
where:
V(t) = output of summing amplifier
Al - A4 = coefficients that are adjusted with the tuning pots R25, R28, R31, and R59
respectively.
Error(t) = the error signal generated as the difference between the position signal, Vp, and the
output ofthe slew rate limiter (command signal).
I(t) = the current
flowing
through
the
motor coil.
The position differentiator takes the first derivative of the position signal to yield angular
velocity. This velocity signal is one of two sources of damping for the servo. Its -3db bandwidth
is set relatively low This is to prevent high
frequency
noise, present on any differentiated signal,
from entering the summing amplifier. Its contribution to the servo is to provide damping at low
frequency and is contiolled by
R25.
The position amplifier uses the position signal to generate an "electrical spring". Its contribution
is contiolled with
R28.
The error integrator compares the actual position to the commanded position and integrates the
difference over time. This signal will allow the scanner to overcome any slight spring or friction
yielding a zero steady-state ertor. Extiemely repeatable positioning is thus obtained. The
ultimate accuracy
is
then contiolled by the repeatability ofthe position detector contained within
the scanner. The contribution of this amplifier to the servo response is contiolled by
R31.
The current integrator produces a signal proportional to the integral of the cmrent flowing
through the rotor. Since the current flowing through the rotor is proportional to the torque
produced, it is also proportional to the angular acceleration. Thus, the integral of ciurent can be
used as another source of velocity information, hence damping. The advantage of this form of
damping is its inherent low
noise.
Its bandwidth can be set high without degrading its signal-to-
noise ratio. The overall bandwidth of the system can be extended much fiirther than with
position differentiation alone. The current integrator is considered the high frequency damping
source and is adjusted with
R59.
The current integrator is high-passed into the summing amp by
way of
R107,
R60, and C9.
