Analog Outputs and Pulse Width Modulation

Radonix PC-Pro series models are equipped with both analog and PWM outputs. These outputs are labeled as AO[n] and PWM[n], where n represents a number greater than zero. Analog outputs provide a continuous voltage ranging from 0 to 10 volts.

These outputs are protected against short circuits to the negative terminal of the power supply and static electricity. However, they may be damaged if directly connected to a voltage higher than 10 volts.

The electronic circuit diagram for the analog outputs of the PC-Pro series models is shown in Figure 13.

Figure 14 illustrates how analog outputs are connected to inverters for controlling spindle speed.

⚠️

Analog inputs and outputs are highly sensitive to electrical noise due to their high impedance. Therefore, analog communication cables should not be routed near high-voltage cables or noise-emitting components. It is recommended to use twisted pair cables, and if possible, avoid using multi-core or single-core cables for analog communication.
