Analog Servo Drive Specs and Features

Analog Servo Drive ZBH12A8
Description Power Range
Peak Current 12 A
Continuous Current 6 A
Supply Voltage 18 - 80 VDC
The ZBH12A8 PWM servo drive is designed to drive
brushless DC motors at a high switching frequency.
The drive is fully protected against over-voltage,
under-voltage, over-current, over-heating, and short-circuits
at the output. A single digital output indicates
operating status. This drive can interface with any
controller that has analog ±10V output and may be
powered by a single unregulated and isolated DC
power supply.
Features
Four quadrant regenerative operation
DIP switch selectable modes
Compact size, high power density

Approvals and Compliances
US and Canadian safety compliance with UL 508c, the industrial standard for power conversion electronics. UL
registered under file number E140173. Note that machine components compliant with UL are considered UL
registered as opposed to UL listed as would be the case for commercial products.
Compliant with European CE for both the Class A EMC Directive 89/336/EEC on Electromagnetic Compatibility
(specifically EN 61000-6-4:2001, EN 61000-6-2:2001, EN 61000-3-2:2000, and EN 61000-3-3:1995/A1:2001) and
LVD requirements of directive 73/23/EEC (specifically EN 60204-1), a low voltage directive to protect users from
electrical shock.
RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) is intended to prevent hazardous substances such as lead from being
manufactured in electrical and electronic equipment.

13 CURRENT MONITOR
Current Monitor. Analog output signal proportional to the actual current output. Scaling is
3.85 A/V by default but may be set to half this value if the drive has a Current Scaling
switch. Measure relative to signal ground.
O
14 CURRENT REFERENCE Measures the command signal to the internal current-loop. This pin has a maximum output
of ±7.5 V when the drive outputs maximum peak current. Measure relative to signal ground. O
15 VELOCITY MONITOR
When used in current or Hall velocity mode, voltage is proportional to the speed of the
motor. In open-loop mode, voltage is proportional to the PWM duty cycle. Hall F/V scaling:
100 Hz/V
O
16 FAULT OUT
TTL level (+5 V) output becomes high when power devices are disabled due to at least one
of the following conditions: inhibit, invalid Hall state, output short circuit, over voltage, over
temperature, power-up reset.
