VELOCITY OUTPUT
The Velocity output (VEL) from the SDC-14560 is a DC voltage
proportional to angular velocity d
θ/dt = dφ/dt. The velocity input is
the second integrator, as shown in FIGURE 7. Its linearity is
dependent solely on the linearity of the voltage controlled oscil-
lator (VCO). Due to the highly linearized VEL output, the electro-
mechanical tachometer can now be eliminated from motion con-
trol systems. Bandwidth (BW) and the acceleration constant (Ka)
can be determined from the formulas shown:
BW(Hz) = BW(rad/sec)/2
π
Ka = A2
Outputs e and VEL are not required for normal operation of the
converter. V is used as an internal DC reference with the direct
input option. Maximum loading on V is 40k Ohm; maximum load-
ing for e and VEL is 3k Ohm. The velocity characteristics are
shown in TABLES 4 and 5.
Output e is not closely controlled or characterized. Consult the
factory for further information.
FIGURES 11, 12, 13 are the synchro, resolver, and direct input
connection diagrams, respectively.

Note: If the resolution is changed while the input is changing, then the
velocity output voltage and the digital output will have a transient until
it settles to the new velocity scaling at a speed determined by the
bandwidth. If additional information is required consult the factory.
