6. As needed, adjust the Slew Rate Limiter Adjustment trimpot, R78, CW to slow the maximum
slew rate of this large angle square wave as needed to keep the +Motor voltage from
"squaring off' or saturating at the top of the first peak. Figure 16 shows this squaring off
phenomenon. Slowing down the input signal will increase the large-angle step response time.
However, the best setding performance will by achieved when the output amplifier is not
allowed to saturate. To ensure the output amplifier will not saturate even after the scanner
reaches its maximum operating temperature, use the following formula for setting the
maximum voltage on +Motor during the step:
+Motorpeak = (+|Drive-2V)/1.3 where: +Drive = Input power to the servo card
Note: In the example above, the +Drive = +28V, thus +Motor peak = 20V.
Depending upon motor impedance, load inertia, system tuning, power supply
voltages, etc., the max output amplifier current of +/- lOA may be reached prior
to voltage saturation.
Keep tuming R78 until the +Motor peak is at the desired level as given by the above
formula. See

Iterate steps 5 and 6 until the maximum angle for the system configuration is reached. See
Figure 18.
If the Command Input Scale Factor is set so that the fieldsize ofthe system is less than the fiill
+/-20° mechanical, then the position output, Vp, will not tiavel the whole +/-I0volts. Since the
slew rate limiter sometimes affects the small angle response slightiy, go back to section
6.1.7.1.2. to check that it the system is still critically damped.
