considerations are to be given to characteristics of other peripheral
solid-state control equipment and the cumulative impact on safety.
n Manufacturers and engineering groups responsible for specification or
design of electrical control equipment must refer to applicable industry
standards and codes for specific safety guidelines and interface
requirements.
n In the actual factory environment, the user is responsible to ensure
compliance with applicable machine and operator safety codes or
regulations which are beyond the scope and purpose of this document.
1391 Series D Allen-Bradley’s commitment to continuing product improvement has led to

the introduction of the 1391 Series D Servo Controller. The catalog
number string for the Series D will be unchanged, however, the controller
nameplate will appear as follows:
CAT 1391B-xxx SER D
This new series incorporates a re-designed Power Driver Board that

increases manufacturing quality and provides a platform for new versions
of the 1391 that are now in development.

Chapter 1
Introduction
General Precautions In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the following
statements which are general to the controller must be read and understood.
ATTENTION: Only personnel familiar with the 1391B-ES

! Servo Controller and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance
of the controller. Failure to comply may result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed controller

! can result in component damage or a reduction in product life.
Wiring or application errors, such as, undersizing the motor,
incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in malfunction of the controller.
ATTENTION: This controller contains ESD (Electrostatic

Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
! precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or
repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with
static control procedures, reference Allen-Bradley publication
8000-4.5.2, Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage or any
other applicable ESD Protection Handbook.
Important: In order to maintain UL listing on Allen-Bradley 1391B-ES

Servo Controllers, the user must provide power from a 1391 Isolation
Transformer. Use of any other transformer voids the UL listing.
The user is responsible for providing motor overload protection in
accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), and any other local
codes that may apply.
Controller Description The 1391B-ES Pulse Width Modulated Servo Controller is a dedicated,
single axis, AC servo controller. It has been packaged to require a
minimum amount of panel space while containing, as standard, a number
of features required by the machine tool and automated equipment
industries.
The 1391B-ES allows the user to achieve higher operating speeds with
purchased motors or from motors already in use. Depending on the motor,
the 1391B-ES can produce up to 30% more speed without loss of torque.
This can help achieve greater precision, a finer finished product and
increased production from existing machinery.

Chapter 1
Introduction
The 1391B-ES is generally used with a computer aided, closed loop

positioning system to control the position and linear or rotary motion of
various machine members on an automated machine.
All components are mounted in an open framed package with a slide-on
front cover. The controller is intended to be panel mounted in an enclosure
and ventilated with filtered and/or cooled air. An internal fan is included to
circulate air over the power heat sink.
The 1391B-ES converts a three-phase, 50/60 Hz input, to a variable AC
voltage with controlled phase, amplitude and frequency. The output which
is proportional to a user supplied analog command, regulates the speed
and/or current (torque) of a 1326 permanent magnet AC servomotor. The
controller is available in ratings of 15, 22.5 and 45A RMS with all package
sizes being identical. A 1391 Transformer, 1326 AC Servomotor and 1326
Cables complete the servo system.
Standard Features The 1391B-ES contains a number of standard features required in a typical
automated machine servo system.
• Input protected against transient voltage.
• A power line/DB contactor which opens the AC line to the controller

and inserts a shunt regulator resistor across the DC bus whenever the
contactor is de-energized.
• An integral circuit breaker which will open all three AC line leads in the
event of a short circuit condition in the power circuitry.
• A standard 300V DC power bus supply that includes an integral shunt
regulator.
• A shunt regulator resistor to dissipate the energy generated by the motor
during regenerative braking.
• Velocity loop components to compensate for a system inertia range
between 0.03 to 1.0 lb.-in.-s2.
• User selectable mechanical resonance filtering.
• Patented current control implementation.
• Acceleration or torque feedforward differential input.
• DIP switch configurable.
• Logic Boards that can be quickly removed and easily interchanged for
troubleshooting and diagnostics.
• Three controller ratings that are in the same physical package and have
identical mounting dimensions.
• True vector control.
• Up to 300 feet (91.4 meters) between controller and motor.

Chapter 1
Introduction
Options/Modifications The 1391B-ES contains most functions needed in a servo system.

The following are selectable at the user’s option:
- Contactor Auxiliary Switch
Two N.O. contacts are mounted on the main power contactor and wired
to the power terminal block. These contacts can be used in a motor
brake control circuit or as an indicator that the contactor has closed.
- Current or Torque Amplifier Operation
When the velocity loop is being closed as part of the position control
system, the controller can be configured to operate as a current or torque
amplifier by use of the S2 switch settings.
- External Shunt Regulator Resistor
On 15 and 22.5A controllers an internal power resistor that is part of the
DC bus voltage shunt regulator can dissipate 162 watts continuous
power. Some applications such as an overhauling load have excessive
regenerative energy to dissipate. For these applications, an external
shunt regulator resistor rated at 386 watts continuous can be supplied for
user mounting on 22.5A controllers. This is selectable by removing the
jumper on TB5 and using an external resistor. The shunt has integral
fusing accessible from the outside of 15 and 22.5A controllers. The 45A
controller has an externally mounted resistor and fuse.
Important: An external shunt regulator resistor is included as standard
equipment on 45A units. An additional unit is not required.
- Tach Output
A voltage equal to 2.0V DC/1000 RPM is available at TB2. 1.2V
DC/1000 RPM on units set for 6000 RPM operation.
- Torque or Current Monitor
A voltage equal to 3.0V DC=100% scaled current is available at TB2.
- Anti-Backlash
Provisions to use the 1388 Anti-Backlash module are provided.

Description of Operation
Chapter Objectives Chapter 4 is intended to familiarize the reader with the circuitry of the
1391B-ES in terms of function and operation.
General The 1391B-ES PWM Servo Controller is made up of the following: 300V
DC power supply, power transistor output modules, shunt regulator circuit,
logic power supply, Logic Control Boards, isolated current sensing, circuit
breaker and line contactor.
The intended use of the 1391 ES is to control the speed and torque of an
AC servomotor in a closed loop position system. A complete servo system
can be configured with a 1391B-ES Servo Controller, 1326 AC
Servomotor and 1391 Isolation Transformer. Refer to the 1391B-ES Block
Diagram presented in Figure 4.3.
300V DC Power Bus Supply The controller contains an integral, unregulated, 300V DC nominal, full
load power supply. It consists of the power transformer input (230V AC,
three-phase, 50 or 60 Hz), a three-phase input bridge rectifier and one
power supply filter capacitor (C1).
PWM Operation The 1391B-ES incorporates a fixed timing wave (VT) of 2500 Hz. The
controller also generates a three-phase sine wave whose frequency
corresponds to the velocity command. An output voltage signal (VO) is
generated by the intersection of these two curves as shown in Figure 4.1.

Chapter 4
The three-phase relationship between the reference signal and the timing
wave provide a PWM wave to the power transistor base drive. This base
drive switches the power transistors across the 300V DC bus, providing
current to the motor windings, thus causing the motor to turn. A resolver
attached to the motor provides a signal corresponding to the actual rotor
position of the motor. This signal is decoded to a signal representing rotor
position and is fed to the commutation logic along with the torque
command. In this way, the controller combines the desired position signal
and current reference with the decoded resolver signal to produce a
reference signal commanding the controller to speed up or slow down. See
Figure 4.2.

Shunt Regulator Operation The 1391B-ES shunt regulator provides power dissipation for regenerative
conditions when the energy returned to the controller by the motor exceeds
that which can be stored in the bus capacitors. The shunt regulator
monitors the bus voltage and at a predetermined “ON” point activates the
shunt regulator transistor, allowing current to flow through the shunt
resistor and dissipating power in the form of heat. A fuse is placed in series
with the resistor to protect it against short circuit conditions. When the
shunt transistor is activated and power is being dissipated at the resistor,
the bus voltage will quickly decrease, turning the transistor off when the
voltage reaches the “OFF” point. This cycle repeats, provided the bus
voltage continues to increase to the “ON” point. If too much regenerative
energy is present, the bus voltage will continue to increase even with the
shunt regulator on. At a predetermined bus voltage level, the 1391B-ES
will determine that an overvoltage condition exists, and trip out on an
Overvoltage Fault.
4-19
Chapter 4
The shunt regulator behavior is further modified by an adjustable duty

cycle timer. The timer is used to model the shunt resistor temperature.
SW1, a selector switch located on the top of the controller (see Figure 1.1)
determines the temperature level and therefore the average power level at
which the controller will trip out. When this level is reached, the controller
will be forced to trip out on an Overvoltage Fault. This action would be
equivalent to turning the shunt regulator off. Refer to Chapter 9 for further
shunt regulator information.
Logic Power Supply The 1391B-ES control logic voltage is ±12V DC and +5V DC. The
voltages are generated on the Power Driver Board, which receives its 36V
AC center-tapped input from a tertiary winding on the isolation
transformer.
Logic Control Boards The Logic Control Boards are the printed circuit boards that are readily
accessible behind the front cover of the controller. They contain all circuits
necessary to control the 1391B-ES. These circuits include: the velocity and
current loop, fault detection and annunciation circuits, power-up/power-
down logic, PWM generation and forward/reverse controlling circuits.
Figure 4.3
1391B-ES Block Diagram
4-20
Chapter 4
Fault Monitoring and Detection A number of Fault Monitor and Detection functions exist on the 1391B-ES
that guard the controller and help to minimize motor and system faults. The
occurrence of a fault will cause the controller to trip out. In this condition,
the Drive OK (DROK) contact will open and remain open until the fault is
cleared. If the DROK contact is wired into the user’s stop circuit, the
line/DB contactor (M) will also de-energize. This will place the shunt
resistor across the bus causing the motor to dynamic brake to a stop.
These fault conditions are annunciated through the front panel LED
indicators. The conditions displayed include:
Overtemperature
The controller contains a thermal switch on the heat sink which indirectly
senses transistor module temperature. If the temperature rating of the
switch is exceeded, the LED illuminates, the DROK contact opens and the
controller is disabled.
Power Fault
A fault related to the power bridge section of the controller will cause the
controller to be disabled, illuminate the LED and open the DROK contact.
Control (Power) Fault
If the control voltage varies more than ±10% of the nominal 12V DC or the
resolver wiring is grounded or missing, this fault will occur. When a fault
is detected, the LED illuminates, the DROK contact opens and the
controller is disabled.
Overvoltage
The DC power bus voltage is continuously monitored. If it exceeds a preset
level of 405V DC, the LED illuminates, the DROK contact opens and the
controller is disabled
Undervoltage
If the DC power bus voltage drops below 50% of its nominal operating
value, the LED illuminates and a signal will be present at TB2-13. A
switch setting on S2 selects the reaction of the DROK contacts to an
undervoltage detection. Two options are possible: 1) DROK opens, but
closes when the bus voltage is restored; 2) DROK is not affected by an
undervoltage.
Important: Regardless of interaction with the DROK contacts, the
transistor bridge is disabled upon an undervoltage condition. This is done
to protect the output transistors against voltage transients.
Current Foldback
The controller contains a fixed time versus current overload circuit which
monitors the current through each leg of the output bridge. If a fixed-time
versus current-product is exceeded, the LED is illuminated and a signal
will be present at TB2-14. This condition will reduce the current limit or
torque available to the motor.
Run/ Enable
The application of an enable signal by the machine position controller will
cause the RUN ENABLE LED to illuminate.
4-21
Chapter 4
Drive Ready
The status of the power supplies and fault conditions are monitored
continuously. If a fault is present, the DRIVE READY LED will not be
illuminated, a fault signal will be present at TB4 and the DROK contact
will be open.
Isolated Current Sensing The Logic Control Boards receive current feedback from the Isolated
Current Sense Board. This circuitry provides the data used for current
limiting and to modify bandwidth.
Integral Circuit Breaker The control logic and power circuitry are protected against overcurrents by
an integral circuit breaker. The DC bus supply and input rectifier utilizes a
three pole magnetic circuit breaker.
Line/DB Contactor The three-phase incoming AC line is opened by the contactor whenever the
Enable signal is removed or a fault occurs. This operation in conjunction
with the shunt regulator reduces the bus voltage when the contactor is
disabled. The Logic Control Board remains energized except when voltage
is removed from the incoming isolation transformer.
Important: The 1391B-ES contains a definite purpose contactor that is not
to be energized/de-energized more than twice an hour on a continuous
basis. The life of the contactor may be reduced considerably if the cycle is
exceeded. Contact your local Allen-Bradley Sales Representative for
additional information.
Power Driver Board The Power Driver Board contains the circuitry needed to switch the power
transistor modules.
A Quad B Board The A Quad B Board changes the resolver signal from a 1326AB or AD
motor into an encoder signal for use by a position controller.
Starting and Stopping

ATTENTION: The Enable control circuitry in the 1391B-ES
! includes solid-state components. If hazards due to accidental
contact with moving machinery or unintentional flow of liquid,
gas or solids exist, an additional hardwired stop circuit may be
required. Refer to the codes and standards applicable to your
particular system for specific requirements and additional
information. A device that removes AC input power when a
stop is initiated is an integral part of this controller. Refer to the
following individual stop mode explanations.
4-22
Chapter 4
ATTENTION: The user has the ultimate responsibility to

! determine which stopping method is best suited to the applica-
tion and will meet applicable standards for operator safety.
Starting and Stopping must be accomplished by hardwired user supplied

elements as shown in Appendix B. Stopping modes for the 1391B-ES are
outlined below. Refer to the paragraphs that follow for detailed
information. The effects described below assume that the 36V AC control
voltage has not been de-energized.
Cause Effect on Motor
De-energize Line/DB Contactor (M) Coil Dynamic Brake
Speed Command brought to Zero Regenerative Brake
Open Enable Input Regenerative Brake
DROK Opens (Fault) Coast to Stop
Dynamic Braking
When the line/DB contactor (M) is de-energized by the control circuitry, an
inherent dynamic braking effect will occur during the DC bus decay,
provided the 36V AC logic voltage is not de-energized. The dynamic
braking effect depends on the value of the shunt regulator resistor and total
load inertia.
Important: Frequent cycling of the line/DB contactor to start/stop the
motor will reduce the life of the contactor. Refer to the paragraph that
follows.
Regenerative Braking
Normal run commands to the controller are performed through the Enable
input and any additional customer supplied control circuitry. Refer to
Appendix B. With input power applied, a mechanical contact closure
between TB2-9 & 10 or solid-state contact closure (open collector, +15 to
+30V DC) between TB2-10 & 12 will cause the controller to run, provided
the line/DB contactor (M) has been energized by the control circuitry.
When the Enable input is de-energized, the maximum available reverse
torque is applied to the motor in a regenerative stopping mode, which will
occur for approximately 450ms.
Coast
An internal controller fault opens the DROK contact. Coasting will only
occur if the DROK contact is not wired to the line/DB contactor coil (M) or
the Enable input circuits.

Inputs, Outputs and Adjustments
Chapter Objectives Chapter 5 contains descriptions of the various inputs and outputs available
on the 1391B-ES Servo Controller. Additionally, a comprehensive listing
and description of the potentiometer and switch adjustments is provided. In
some cases adjustment methods are provided for use during start-up. This
information is provided to help you understand some of the important
aspects about the controller prior to the actual installation and start-up. For
information on shunt regulator adjustments, refer to Chapter 9.
Inputs/Outputs The following paragraphs provide detailed descriptions of the various

inputs and outputs available for the 1391B-ES. See Figure 5.2 for terminal
block locations.
Terminal Block - TB1

Resolver Signals (TB1, Terminals 1-10)
These terminals are used for connection to the resolver. Refer to Appendix
B for connection details.

Velocity Command Input (TB2, Terminals 1, 2)
The controller will accept up to a ±10V DC velocity command signal to
achieve maximum motor speed. The plus (+) and minus (–) reference are at
terminals 2 and 1, respectively. Shield must be terminated at source end
only. The differential impedance of the velocity command input is 40k
ohms (20k ohms for single ended inputs).
Signal Common (TB2, Terminals 3, 6, 12, 17)

Signal input reference point.
Buffered Output (TB2, Terminal 4)

This output is the differentially isolated velocity or torque command
applied at terminals 1 and 2 of TB2. It can be wired to the torque command
input (TB2-15 and 16) for torque block operation.
5-26
Chapter 5
Adjustable Current Limit (TB2, Terminal 5)

The current limit of the controller is set to 300% or twice the continuous
rating of the controller, whichever is lower. Connecting this terminal to
Signal Common will enable potentiometer R148. The range of this pot is
20 to 300% or twice the continuous rating of the controller, whichever is
lower. This is used for feed to hard stop applications. When the workpiece
activates this condition through a limit switch or other user supplied
device, the current will be limited to the value set by R148, protecting the
motor against possible overheating.
Tachometer Output (TB2, Terminal 7)

A voltage corresponding to the motor velocity and direction of rotation will
be present between this terminal and Signal Common. With switch S2-1
(see the section entitled Switch Settings) set to “ON,” a voltage of ±1.2V
DC/1000 rpm will be present. With the switch in the “OFF” position, a
voltage of ±2.0V DC/1000 rpm will be present.
I Command Output (TB2, Terminal 8)

The voltage present between this terminal and Signal Common
corresponds to the motor current. A voltage of ±3.0V DC equals the rated
motor current as set by switch S1.
Enable Input (TB2, Terminals 9, 10)

Normal Run commands to the controller are performed through the Enable
input and any additional user supplied run control circuitry. With input
power applied and the line contactor energized, a solid-state contact closure
(rated +15 to +30V DC, 30 mA) between TB2-10 & 12 or a mechanical
contact closure between TB2-9 & 10 will cause the controller to run. When
this input is de-energized, the control will cause a regenerative braking
action in the motor.
Reset (TB2, Terminal 11)

Removing the Enable signal and momentarily connecting this terminal to
Signal Common will reset the controller after a controller fault occurs.
Important: A Reset must not be initiated until the cause is determined and
corrected.
Low Bus (TB2, Terminal 13)

This terminal provides an open collector output rated at 12V DC, 5mA to
indicate a low bus voltage condition. Reference to Signal Common.
Current Foldback (TB2, Terminal 14)

This terminal provides an open collector output rated at 12V DC, 5mA to
indicate that current foldback is in operation. Reference to Signal
Common.
5-27
Chapter 5
Torque Command Input (TB2, Terminals 15, 16)

Terminals 15 and 16 provide a small amount of input filtering for operating
the controller in a torque block or velocity feedforward mode. A ±3V DC
command equals 100% of the S1 current setting (i.e. motor rated current).
The buffered output of the command at terminal 4 of TB2 can be
connected to terminal 16 if more filtering is desired.
Spares (TB2, Terminals 18-20)

Reserved for future use and are not to be used.
Terminal Block - TB3 (A Quad B Board)

Figure 5.1 provides interconnect information between the position
controller and TB3 on the A Quad B Board.
ATTENTION: To guard against possible damage to the A

! Quad B Board, assure that wiring between TB3 and the position
controller is correct. Refer to Figure 5.1.

1 Recommended Wire – Belden #9728 or equivalent. Maximum distance between the A Quad B
Board and the position controller is 40 feet (12.2 meters) using a 5 volt signal. For distances up
to 300 feet (91 meters), 18 AWG (0.8 mm2) wire and an 8 to 15V DC power supply must be used.
2 For proper operation when interconnecting to IMC products, the B and B (NOT) signals must be
reversed.
When interfacing to IMC 121 or 123 controllers, use the 1391-CAQB cable.
The A Quad B option operates in the same manner as the Allen-Bradley

845H Line Driver Encoder (26LS31 line driver output). The option
requires either a regulated +5V DC at terminal 7 or an unregulated +8 to
+15V DC input at terminal 9 (board draws 125mA maximum). The pulse
train output is selectable to 256, 512, 1024 or 2048 lines per revolution via
the Encoder Output switch, S3 (see page 5-36).
5-28
Chapter 5

Drive OK (DROK) Contacts (TB4, Terminals 17, 18)
Application of power to the transformer energizes the logic supply of the
controller. When 90% of rated DC Bus voltage is achieved and no
controller faults are detected, this relay contact is closed. The contact
remains closed until a controller fault occurs or power is removed from the
transformer. Contact rating: 115V AC, 1A or 24V DC, 0.3A. Refer to
Switch Settings – Drive OK/Drive Ready on page 5-35 for further
information.
36V AC Logic Supply Voltage (TB4, Terminals 19, 20, 21)

The isolation transformer contains four separate windings. Each winding
supplies 36V AC with a center tap. The 36V AC leads are brought out to
terminals 19 and 21 of TB4. The center tap must be connected to terminal
20 of TB4. See Chapter 9 for transformer details.

Motor Power Terminals (TB5, Terminals 1, 2, 3)
Motor power is provided at these terminals. Refer to Chapter 6 and
Appendix B for connection details.
Input Power Terminals (TB5, Terminals 4, 5, 6)

The controller requires a 230V AC, three-phase, 50 or 60 Hz input supplied
by the transformer secondary. Refer to Chapters 6, 9 and Appendix B for
wiring and transformer information.
External Shunt Regulator Resistor (TB5, Terminals 8, 9, 10)

The 22.5A controllers have provisions to accept an external shunt resistor
to supplement the integral unit. This is available for applications that
require the dissipation of more regenerative energy to the DC Bus. To use
an external shunt resistor, first remove the jumper at terminals 8 and 10 of
TB5. Consult the Allen-Bradley sales office for application assistance.
The shunt regulator resistor supplied with the 1391B-ESAA45 must be
externally mounted and connected to terminals 8 and 9 of TB5 prior to
operation. Refer to Chapter 9 and Appendix B for details.

Offset (R1) and Scale Leave at the present setting until adjustment
(R132) becomes necessary in the Start-Up Procedure.
Current Limit (R148)

This single turn potentiometer adjusts the maximum current available to
the servomotor when TB2-5 is grounded. The maximum setting is 300% of
the motor rating or twice the continuous rating of the controller, whichever
is lower. The pot can be calibrated (fine tuned) using TP21 and the
proportion: 3V DC=100% continuous motor current.
Velocity Gain (R144)

This potentiometer is used to fine tune the response characteristics of the
system. Clockwise rotation increases the dynamic gain of the servo
amplifier, while counterclockwise rotation decreases gain. When used in
conjunction with the integral gain switch, the system response can be
adjusted over a wide range.
Offset (R1)
Adjustment for the system offset voltages is provided by this multi-turn
pot.
Velocity Command Scale (R132)

This adjustment is a multi-turn pot that scales the command signal with the
velocity feedback signal.

Chapter 5
Switch Settings This section provides information on setting the Duty Cycle Selector
switch (SW1), Current Scaling switch (S1), configuration switches (S2)
and the A Quad B Encoder Output switch (S3). Refer to Figure 5.2 for
switch locations. Note that the settings for 1326AP motors are the same as
1326AB motors.
Duty Cycle Selector Switch - SW1

The Duty Cycle Selector Switch (SW1) which is located on top of the
controller, modifies the behavior of the shunt regulator. The switch
determines the temperature level and therefore the average power level at
which the controller will fault. Refer to Chapter 9 for detailed switch
setting information.
Current Feedback Scaling Switch - S1

The 1391B-ES employs a current feedback scaling circuit which allows a
controller to be used with 1326 AC Servomotors having lower current
ratings.
Tables 5.B and C provide the information necessary to correctly set the
current feedback scaling using switch S1. Table 5.B provides general
information on switch settings for typical motor / controller combinations.
Table 5.C provides examples of switch settings for specific 1326 AC
Servomotors. Refer to the motor nameplate for actual rated current (IC is
continuous current rating in amperes).
Important: The motor and controller rated current (as listed on their
respective nameplates) should be noted and the correct adjustment of
switch S1 made prior to applying power to the system.
Set S1 to a position equal or nearest to the rated motor current. One setting
higher must be used if the motor current is between current ratings. Once
the current feedback scaling is set, the current limit and peak current
capabilities will be a function of the motor current rating and not the
controller current rating.

Tachometer Scaling (S2-1)

Switch S2-1 is used to configure the 1391B-ES tachometer synthesis
circuitry to a range appropriate for the applied motors. Select the “ON”
position for 1326AD and 1326AB-Axx motors and speeds to 6000 rpm.
“OFF” is used for 1326AB-Bxx and Cxx motors to 4000 rpm.
ID Cut In (S2-2)
This switch sets the ID cut in speed. ID is a phase specific current added to
the torque producing current at higher speeds to extend the performance
range of the controller. The ID point differs with the motor used. Refer to
Table 5.E for switch settings. For motors not listed, consult your
Allen-Bradley Sales Representative.

ID Magnitude (S2-3)
This switch is used to identify the type of motor being used. Set the switch
to “ON” to signify a 1326AB motor and “OFF” for a 1326AD motor.
Drive OK/Drive Ready (S2-4)

This switch causes the DROK contacts to close under different
circumstances.
If the switch is set to “ON,” the contact will close if no faults are detected
and the bus voltage is nominal. An undervoltage condition will cause the
DROK contacts to open.
If the switch is placed to the “OFF” position, the contacts will close once
the undervoltage condition clears. Bus undervoltage will not effect the
DROK contacts.
5-35
Chapter 5
Torque Block/Velocity Loop Operation (S2-5)

Switch S2-5 is used to disable the velocity error amplifier to configure the
controller for torque block operation. In torque block mode the controller
acts as a current amplifier producing current (torque) proportional to the
command present at terminals 15 and 16 of TB2. Note that the Command
Scale and Velocity Loop Gain potentiometers (R132 & R144) have no
effect in the torque block mode. Scaling for torque block is ±3V
Command=100% of the S1 Current Setting (i.e. motor rated current). Place
switch S2-5 to the “ON” position for torque block operation and “OFF” for
velocity loop operation.
Velocity Loop Compensation (S2-6)

This switch is used to compensate the velocity loop for applications with
higher load inertia. Position the switch to “ON” for high inertia
compensation. High inertia compensation will generally improve
performance on systems with load inertias greater than three times motor
rotor inertia, although the user may wish to evaluate the impact of this
compensation at slightly lower inertias.
Error Amp Gain (S2-7, 8)

1326AD motors require less gain on the velocity loop. Switches S2-7 and 8
reduce the gain by a fixed percentage. If both switches are “OFF,” there is
no gain reduction. If either switch is ON, the gain will be reduced by 33%.
If further gain reduction is required, both switches should be placed to
“ON,” which provides a 50% reduction.
Tachometer Filter (S2-9, 10)

If the motor/tach is operating in a mechanically noisy system, additional
tach filtering may be necessary. These switches offer four levels of
filtering. Filter bandwidth can be decreased from 430 Hz. to 165 Hz. using
the switch settings described in Table 5.D.
Staircase Filtering (S2-11, 12)

These switches provide additional filtering to minimize “staircasing” of the
DAC output from the position loop controller. Three levels of velocity
command filtering are available as shown in Table 5.D.
A Quad B Encoder Output Switch - S3

S3 selects the line count that will be output from the A Quad B Board.
ATTENTION: Incorrect setting of S3 can cause erratic and/or

! improper machine motion which may result in personal injury
or equipment damage. Assure that switch S3 has been properly
set as shown in Figure 5.3.

Installation
Chapter Objectives Chapter 6 provides the information needed to mount and wire the
1391B-ES Servo Controller for operation. Since most start-up difficulties
are the result of incorrect wiring, every precaution must be taken to assure
that the wiring is done as instructed. All items must be read and
thoroughly understood before the actual installation begins.
ATTENTION: The following information is merely a guide for

! proper installation. The National Electrical Code and any other
governing regional or local code will overrule this information.
The Allen-Bradley Company cannot assume responsibility for
the compliance or the noncompliance to any code, national,
local or otherwise for the proper installation of this controller or
associated equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or
equipment damage exists if codes are ignored during
installation.
Mounting Mounting dimensions for the 1391B-ES Servo Controller can be found in
Appendix A. Chapter 2 provides information on power dissipation and
environmental specifications. The controller must be located on a flat,
rigid, vertical surface and must not be subjected to shock, vibration,
moisture, oil mist, dust, corrosive vapors, etc. or temperatures that exceed
60° C (140° F) ambient.
Controllers can be mounted adjacent to each other with a minimum
clearance of 0.312” (7.9mm) between units and/or surrounding cabinetry
and non-current carrying surfaces. However, it is recommended that a
space of approximately 1.0” (25.4mm) be left between adjacent units to
allow easy access and removal of the front cover. To allow for proper
airflow, a minimum clearance of 3.0” (76.2mm) is required along the top
and bottom of the unit and any adjacent components.
The transformer that supplies 230V AC, three-phase and 36V AC to each
servo controller must have 3” (76.2mm) of clearance around it and any
adjacent components. This will allow for proper airflow and wiring access.
The transformer can be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical position.
6-38
Chapter 6
Installation
ATTENTION: The installation of the controller must be

! planned such that all cutting, drilling, tapping and welding can
be accomplished with the controller removed from the
enclosure. The controller is of the open type construction and
any metal debris must be kept from falling into it. Metal debris
or other foreign matter may become lodged in the circuitry
resulting in component damage.
Wiring Recommendations General Information

The information supplied in this manual on wire sizes, practices, layouts,
system configurations and grounding/shielding techniques for the
1391B-ES Servo Controller are presented as guidelines. Due to the
diversity of applications and systems, no single method of wiring is
completely applicable.
Important: This information represents common PWM servo system
wiring configurations, size and practices that have proven satisfactory in a
majority of applications. The National Electrical Code, local electrical
codes, special operating temperatures, duty cycles or system configurations
will take precedence over the values and methods listed.
Wire Sizes
Unless noted, the wire sizes in this manual are recommended minimums
and assume type MTW wire (machine tool wire, 75° C, minimum) per
NFPA 79. Since ambient conditions vary widely, on certain applications, a
derating factor has to be taken into account. Also, wiring to controllers or
motors exceeding 50 feet (15.2 meters) in length (total includes to and
from device) may cause excessive voltage drops. Consult the National
Electrical Code for factors on ambient conditions, length etc. or the
Allen-Bradley Sales Representative in your area for further information.
Shielding
Reasonable care must be taken when connecting and routing power and
signal wiring on a machine or system. Radiated noise from nearby relays
(relay coils should have surge suppressors), transformers, other electronic
drives, etc. may be induced into the velocity command signal lines causing
undesired movement of the servomotor.
6-39
Chapter 6
Installation
To help alleviate the problem, machine power and signal lines must be
routed separately. The 1391B-ES power and signal lines must be shielded,
twisted and routed in separate ferrous metal conduit or harnesses spaced at
least 12” (304.8mm) apart. Power leads are defined here as the transformer
primary and secondary leads, motor leads and any 115V AC or above
control wiring for relays, fans, thermal protectors etc. Signal wiring is
defined as velocity command, resolver feedback, enable lines and low level
logic signal lines.
Feedback, command signal and other shields must be insulated from each
other and connected at a common machine or system earth ground in a
“star” fashion (i.e. all shields connected to a single earth ground point).
This helps to minimize radiated and induced noise problems and ground
loops. Refer to the paragraph entitled “Grounding” and Appendix B.
Open ended shields (resolver feedback cable at the resolver and velocity
command cable at the servo controller) must be insulated so that they do
not accidentally cause ground loops.
EMI Shielding
The 1391B-ES has an inverter carrier frequency of 2500 Hz. Therefore, the
system may induce noise into sensitive equipment lines adjacent to it.
ATTENTION: This controller can produce electromagnetic

! radiation that may cause industrial or radio controlled
equipment to operate erratically and cause possible injury to
personnel.
The 1391B-ES system is designed to be interconnected with
Allen-Bradley EMI shielded motor cables only. Do Not
substitute cables. The EMI shield of the motor cable only, must
be grounded at both ends to function properly.
Important: The thermal switch and brake wires are routed near motor
power and can pickup PWM radiation. Isolation from control devices may
be required.
Grounding
All equipment and components of a machine or process system shall have
their chassis connected to a common earth ground point. This ground
system provides a low impedance path that helps minimize shock hazards
to personnel and damage to equipment caused by short circuits, transient
overvoltages and accidental connection of energized conductors to the
equipment chassis.
6-40
Chapter 6
Installation
Grounding requirements, conventions and definitions are contained in the

National Electrical Code. Local codes will usually dictate what particular
rules and regulations are to be followed concerning system safety grounds.
See Appendix B.
Wiring
ATTENTION: The National Electrical Code (NEC) and local
! codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical
equipment. Installation must comply with specifications
regarding wire types, conductor sizes, branch circuit protection,
and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
The Interconnect Drawing presented in Appendix B provides typical

interconnection wiring for the 1391B-ES AC Servo Controller. Typical
control logic circuitry (starting and stopping), motor interconnections and
grounding techniques are shown.
Motor Wiring
The motor wiring size is determined by the continuous and overload
current requirements (RMS Duty Cycle), NEC and local codes. In general,
motors operated from the following controllers would not require wire
sizes larger than those accepted by TB5, but codes must be followed. In
addition, the motor leads must be twisted throughout their entire length to
minimize radiated electrical noise. Allen-Bradley 1326 cables must be
used. The maximum motor wire sizes that the 1391B-ES controller will
accept are shown in Table 6.A.

Motor Feedback Wiring

Connections to the integral commutation resolver must be made using an
Allen-Bradley 1326-CFUxx shielded cable.
ATTENTION: To guard against hazard of personal injury or

! damage to equipment, the interconnections to the motor and
resolver must be made exactly as shown in Appendix B. Failure
to do so could cause loss of motor control and/or severe
oscillation of the motor shaft.
Encoder (A Quad B Board) Wiring

Recommended Wire – Belden #9728 or equivalent. Maximum distance
between the A Quad B Board and the position controller is 40 feet (12.2
meters) using a 5 volt signal. For distances up to 300 feet (91 meters), 18
AWG wire (0.8 mm2) and an 8 to 15V DC power supply must be used.
For proper operation when interconnecting to IMC products, the B and B
(NOT) signals must be reversed.
When interfacing to IMC 121 or 123 controllers, use the 1391-CAQB
cable. Refer to Chapter 5 for further information.
Transformer Wiring
The transformer secondary (230V AC, three-phase) connection to the
controller is phase insensitive and is shown in Appendix B. The maximum
wire size TB5 will accept is 8 AWG (8.4 mm2). Refer to Chapter 9 for the
transformer wiring diagrams.
The minimum recommended wire sizes for the transformer secondary are
listed below.

Start-Up
Chapter Objectives Chapter 7 provides the steps needed to properly start-up the 1391B-ES AC
Servo Controller. Included in the procedure are typical adjustments and
voltage checks to assure proper operation.
Start-Up Procedure The following procedure provides the required steps to start-up the
1391B-ES AC Servo Controller in velocity and position mode.
ATTENTION: Power must be applied to the controller to

! perform many of the adjustments specified in the following
paragraphs. Voltages behind the front panel are at incoming line
potential. To avoid injury to personnel and/or damage to
equipment, only qualified service personnel should perform the
following start-up procedures. Thoroughly read and understand
the following procedure before beginning the Start-Up
Procedure. If an event does not occur while performing this
start-up, Do Not Proceed. Remove Power by opening the branch
circuit disconnect device and correct the malfunction before
continuing.
ATTENTION: This product contains stored energy devices. To

! avoid hazard of electrical shock, verify that all voltage on the
capacitors has been discharged before attempting to service,
repair or remove this unit.
Voltage at terminals 9 (+) and 7 (–) of TB5 must be “0.00” as
measured with a standard digital voltmeter or multimeter.
Only qualified personnel familiar with solid-state control
equipment and safety procedures in publication NFPA 70E
should attempt this procedure.
o 1. Assure that all power to the controller is off. Most start-up

difficulties are the result of wiring errors. Therefore, prior to
applying power to the primary of the transformer or system, check
all of the system interconnection wiring.
o 2. Check terminal block connections as described in Chapter 5 and

Appendix B.
7-44
Chapter 7
Start-Up
o 3. Assure that preliminary adjustment of the following items has been

performed:
- Potentiometer adjustments as described in Chapter 5.
- S1, S2 and SW1 switch settings as described in Chapter 5.
Important: The above adjustments must be performed before
proceeding.
o 4. Assure that the controller circuit breaker (MCB) OFF.
o 5. Apply power to the transformer, but Do Not enable the controller or

energize the line/DB contactor (M).
o 6. Using a voltmeter, verify that the voltages listed below are present at
the locations shown. The tolerance for all voltages is ±10%. Clear
faults before replacing any blown fuses.
Location Voltage
TB5-4 to TB5-5 230V AC
TB4-19 to TB4-20 18V AC
TB4-21 to TB4-20 18V AC
TB4-21 to TB4-19 36V AC
TP13 to TP12 +12V DC
TP14 to TP12 –12V DC
o 7. Remove all power to the transformer.
o 8. The wires connected to terminals 9 and 10 of TB2 must be marked

and removed to allow for local operation of the Enable circuit.
Connect a suitable temporary switch between these terminals and
insulate the switch connections. See Figure 7.1.

Start-Up
o 9. The wires connected to terminals 1 & 2 of TB2 (Velocity Command

Input) must be marked and removed. A ±10V DC local control
(battery box) is to be connected to these terminals. See Figure 7.1.
The polarity of the Command signal from the battery box should be
the same as the actual control source to assure correct motor rotation
when the controller is placed into operation as part of the system.
ATTENTION: Even though the Command SCALE

! potentiometer is set to zero, the servomotor may begin to rotate
and cause incorrect machine movement when the controller is
enabled. Be prepared to remove controller power by opening
(MCB) or the branch circuit disconnect device if this occurs.
This movement may be due to a wiring error or system
component malfunction and must be corrected before
proceeding with this procedure. Damage to machine system
components can occur due to uncontrolled machine movements.
It is recommended that the motor be mechanically disconnected
from the load if:
A) Improper direction of rotation could cause damage to
equipment.
B) Uncontrolled motor rotation due to improper phasing will
cause damage to the equipment.
o 10. Once control connections are made:

a) Set Command input to zero at the battery box.
b) Open Enable switch.
c) Apply power to the transformer primary.
Place the circuit breaker (MCB) to the ON position. The green
DRIVE READY LED should illuminate.
Important: If power is applied while the controller is enabled, one
or more fault LED’s will illuminate and disable the controller. The
controller may be reset by removing the Enable signal and
momentarily grounding the Reset terminal (TB2-11). An alternate
method would be to remove and reapply the branch circuit or
controller power (36V CT) with the Enable input removed.
ATTENTION: In the following step, reverse rotation or

! uncontrolled rotation at high speed can occur. To guard against
injury, read through the procedure before attempting to start the
motor.
7-46
Chapter 7
Start-Up
o 11. If adjustable current limit is not desired, proceed to step 12. Ground
TB2-5 to TB2-6. Set Current Limit to zero. With a 10% Command
input signal applied to terminals 1 and 2 of TB2, momentarily close
the local Enable switch and observe motor speed and direction of
rotation. The motor should rotate slowly under control (following
the Command signal). If the motor is under control but rotating in
the wrong direction, reverse the command input signal polarity and
note the change on the machine interconnection drawing.
If the motor is uncontrollable, check the feedback wiring at the
controller and check for correct phasing of the motor leads. If this
does not correct the problem, the position feedback device may be
incorrectly phased. Check that the current feedback scaling is set
properly and slowly adjust the Current Limit potentiometer (R148)
to the maximum clockwise position.
o 12. Open the Enable switch and branch circuit disconnect.
o 13. Remove battery box and connect a jumper between terminals 1 and
2 of TB2. Apply power and close the Enable switch. Adjust the
Velocity Loop OFFSET potentiometer (R1) to obtain zero rotation
of the motor shaft.
o 14. Open the branch circuit disconnect. Remove jumper and reconnect
the wires removed in step 9. Reapply power.
o 15. On position controlled systems, the position loop gain (system

following error) should be set by adjusting the Velocity Command
SCALE potentiometer (R132) while commanding various moves
from the position controller to achieve desired following error.
On velocity controlled systems (no position loop), the Velocity
Command SCALE pot (R132) should be adjusted to give the desired
motor speed at the maximum command (reference) voltage.
o 16. If the proper position loop gain (following error adjustment) or

speed cannot be set at maximum motor speed, switch S2-6 may be
improperly set (see Chapter 5).
o 17. Important: Before performing this step, ensure that the GAIN pot is
set to “4” or below. A setting higher than “4” could cause the motor
to vibrate violently.
Adjust the Velocity GAIN potentiometer (R144) and set switch S2-6
as needed. The GAIN adjust pot is used to fine tune the servo
system response, switch S2-6 provides varying degrees of response.
Setting GAIN at position #4 and placing the switch to “OFF” will
give satisfactory response for most applications. If further
optimization of the system response is required, the System
Compensation Procedure should be followed. If optimization is not
required, proceed to step 20.

o 18. Monitor the velocity feedback signal at terminals 6 (common) and 7

of TB2 with an oscilloscope or chart recorder.
ATTENTION: If an oscilloscope (or chart recorder) is used

! during Start-Up or Troubleshooting, it must be properly
grounded. The oscilloscope chassis may be at a potentially fatal
voltage if not properly grounded. Always connect the
oscilloscope chassis to earth ground.
When using an oscilloscope (or chart recorder) it is
recommended that the test probe ground be connected to TP12.
o 19. Adjust the Velocity GAIN potentiometer (R144) and observe the
velocity response (at TB2-7) profile at various levels of step input
speed commands. The “Underdamped” response curve in Figure 7.2
with a single velocity overshoot of 20-30% on accel and decel is
optimal on a point to point positioning or velocity controlled system.
The “Critically Damped” curve is desirable on a contouring or metal
removing system.
The GAIN pot should be adjusted so that the motor achieves the
commanded speed or final position as quickly as possible with no
overshoot. In addition to the dynamic response, the motor shaft
should not oscillate or exhibit any erratic motion at zero speed.

The 1326 AC Servomotor
Chapter Objectives Chapter 8 describes the operation of a standard 1326 AC Servomotor with
the enhanced capabilities of a Bulletin 1391B-ES AC Servo Controller.
Refer to the 1326 AC Servomotor Product Data for further information on
Allen-Bradley AC Servomotors.
Introduction The 1391B-ES provides additional energy to the 1326 motor, allowing it to
operate at higher speeds without a reduction of torque.
In general, the 1326 motor will follow the speed–torque curve shown in

Chapter 8
Tp – the peak torque that can be produced by the motor/controller

combination with both at rated temperature and the motor in a 40°C
ambient and the controller in a 60°C ambient. Since 200% current torque
peaks are common in many applications for optimal controller usage, the
following curves show typical system performance. Higher peak torques
are permissible where RMS torque is less than or equal to the rated torque
(Tc). 1391B-ES operation is shown in the outer envelope and will show
higher speed and 300% torque capability.
Rated Speed – the operating speed of the controller and motor
combination at which a minimum of 70% of continuous rated torque (Tc)
can be developed. This point is defined with the motor at 25°C and
controller operating in a 60°C ambient.
Rated Operation Area – boundary of speed-torque curve where the motor
and controller combination may operate on a servo basis without exceeding
the RMS rating of either.

Transformers and Shunt Regulators
Chapter Objectives Chapter 9 provides general information about the 1391 Isolation
Transformer. In addition, shunt regulator information is also provided.
1391 Transformers The 1391B-ES must operate from an isolation transformer having a
three-phase, 230V AC output and a single-phase, 36V AC output.
Transformers supplied with the 1391B-ES can provide power for up to four
controllers. Standard three-phase input voltages for the 60 Hz units are
available. The kVA values specified are the continuous outputs of the units
in a 60° C ambient.
Important: The maximum rating that can be connected to the 1391B-ES is
15 kVA.
Important: The 1391B-ES controller uses a phase sensitive 36V AC
transformer tap to provide power to the Logic Control Board. It is
recommended that a 1391 Isolation Transformer be used. Contact your
local Allen-Bradley Sales Representative if a transformer of a different
type must be used. Refer to Figure 9.1 and Appendix B for connection
information.
ATTENTION: Damage to the controller will result if the center

! tap wire (Y2, Y5, Y8, Y11) shown in Figure 9.1 is not
connected to TB4-20 as shown in Appendix B.
60 Hz Transformers
Two 60 Hz transformers are available and have input ratings of:
1. 240/480V AC , three-phase
2. 208/230/460/575V AC, three-phase

Chapter 9
Shunt Regulator Operation Refer to Chapter 4 for an explanation of the shunt regulator circuitry. The
nominal data for the shunt regulator is as follows:.
Overvoltage Trip Point = 405V DC±2.5%
DC Bus Shunt “ON” Point = 386.4V DC
DC Bus Shunt “OFF” Point = 366.9V DC
Nominal DC Bus Voltage = 300V DC
DC Bus Undervoltage Detect = 145V DC±20%
The shunt regulator behavior is modified by an adjustable duty cycle timer.

The timer is used to model the shunt resistor temperature. A selector switch
(SW1) determines the temperature level and therefore the average power
level at which the controller will fault. When this level is reached, the
controller will be forced to fault on an overvoltage. This action would be
equivalent to turning the shunt regulator off.
The Duty Cycle Selector Switch is located on top of the controller near
terminal Block, TB5 (see Figure 1.1). The switch has 16 positions
designated “0 to F,” with “0” being the lowest value and “F” the highest.
The higher the setting, the higher the average power seen by the shunt
resistor. The Duty Cycle Selector Switch settings for various
controller/shunt combinations are shown in Tables 9.A and B.
Important: Accurate operation of the Duty Cycle Timer is dependent on
the shunt resistor value. Do Not substitute alternate values.
Table 9.A provides the required Duty Cycle Selector Switch settings and
resistor power trip points for factory supplied configurations. An optional
external resistor assembly (catalog number 1391-MOD-SR22A) is
available for the 22.5A 1391B-ES.

Chapter 9
Table 9.B shows the nominal resistor power trip levels in watts for the
various switch settings. When shunt requirements exceed the selector
setting, the excess power will cause the bus voltage to rise, resulting in an
overvoltage fault condition.

ATTENTION: To guard against personal injury and/or

! equipment damage from an overheated resistor, the designated
duty cycle settings for factory supplied shunt resistor
configurations must not be exceeded. Check the Duty Cycle
Selector Switch (SW1) to ensure that it is set properly before
operation.
ATTENTION: When using a customer supplied external shunt

! resistor assembly, the Duty Cycle Selector Switch (SW1) must
be set to an appropriate level for that resistor assembly. Consult
the resistor manufacturer for the appropriate derating
guidelines. Failure to comply could result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage from an overheated resistor.
9-58
Chapter 9
Frequent overvoltage trips on high inertia systems (load is 2 or 3 times the

motor inertia) during regenerative states (deceleration) may be an
indication that an external shunt resistor having increased power
dissipation capacity is required. Based on the data supplied, Allen-Bradley
will specify a shunt resistor with the proper resistance value for the
controller being used.
Shunt Regulator Installation External Shunt Resistors

The 1391B-ES is designed to allow the use of an external shunt resistor on
the 22.5 and 45A units. To use an external shunt resistor with the 22.5A
units, the user must reconfigure the controller at terminal block TB5.
The following steps provide the information needed to properly convert
22.5A controllers for use with an external shunt resistor and fuse. Refer to
the resistor and fuse mounting dimensions provided in Appendix A and the
Interconnect Diagram in Appendix B, as required.
ATTENTION: To guard against an electrical shock hazard,

! ensure that all power to the controller has been removed prior to
performing the following procedure and the bus voltage at
terminal 9 (+) and 7 (–) of TB5 measures 0.00 volts.
24. Remove and discard the jumper present between terminals 8 and 10 of
TB5. This disconnects the internal shunt resistor and fuse from the
shunt regulator circuit.
ATTENTION: When using an external shunt resistor assembly

! with the 22.5A 1391B-ES, ensure that the internal resistor
assembly has been disconnected per the above instructions.
Personal injury and/or equipment damage could result from an
overheated resistor if the internal resistor is not disconnected.
25. Connect one end of the new external shunt fuse to terminal 9 of TB5.
Connect the other end of the fuse to one end of the shunt resistor.
Important: The external shunt resistor must have a fuse in series with
the shunt resistor. Refer to the paragraph entitled “Shunt Fusing” for
more information.
26. Connect the remaining end of the shunt resistor to terminal 8 of TB5.
27. Using Table 9.B, set the Duty Cycle Selector Switch to the appropriate
setting for the resistor being used.
28. Install the appropriate shunt fuse in its holder.

9-59
Chapter 9
ATTENTION: Proper derating must be applied to the

! manufacturers nominal resistor power ratings when using these
in external shunt configurations. Consult the resistor
manufacturer for recommended derating. Failure to comply
could result in personal injury and/or equipment damage from
an overheated resistor.
Shunt Fusing
Shunt regulator fusing is provided with all of the 1391B-ES controllers.
The fuse is in series with the resistor and used to protect the resistor against
short circuits. The shunt fuse is located on top of the controller near the
circuit breaker for 15 and 22.5A controllers. External resistors for 22.5A
and 45A controllers are supplied with a fuse which must be mounted
external to the controller (see Appendix A for mounting dimensions). Refer
to Table 9.C for further shunt fuse information.

Controller Options
Zero Current Option (-A13) The Zero Current Option allows the user to externally adjust the current
limit of the controller from zero to 200% of the rated controller output.
Operation/Set-up
ATTENTION: To avoid a shock hazard, assure that all power

! to the controller has been removed before connecting
potentiometer.
A user supplied, 10k ohm, 1/2 watt potentiometer must be connected as

shown in Figure D.1 (a 10-turn potentiometer is suggested for accuracy).
Attach a digital voltmeter between TP21 (+) and TP12 (–) of the controller.
For zero current, adjust the 10k potentiometer until a zero (±100 mV)
reading is achieved.
Alternately, a variable 7.5V DC voltage supply can be connected to
TB2-19 (+) and 20 (–). Varying the voltage at TB2-19 will modify the
current limit of the controller as set by selector switch S1 (this rating will
not exceed 200% of the controller current rating).
Zero volts will set the controller for zero current. 6V DC equals 200% and
7.5V DC provides 300% of the S1 setting.
