6.9 current control pot and remote vref
A Reference Voltage, V
REF
, is used to command the output current of the EPP-450. V
REF
is a DC voltage that can come from
either the Current Control Potentiometer on the front panel or from a remote source. In the “Panel” position, S2, the Panel
/ Remote switch selects the Current Control Potentiometer. In the “Remote” position, the Panel/Remote switch selects the
V
REF
fed into J1-L (+) and J1-J (-). The EPP-450 Output Current, I
OUT
, will follow V
REF
with the following relationship:
I
OUT
= (50) x (V
REF
) in the high output current mode and I
OUT
= (10) x (V
REF
) in the low output current mode.
PCB10 is the analog signal scaling board. If 115VAC is fed into P1-2 and P1-3 the output current range is in the high mode
used for cutting from 50 to 450A. With the 115VAC absent, the output current range is in the low mode used for marking
between 10 and 100A and cutting between 35 and 100A.
The Control PC Board contains two inputs for V
REF
: High Speed; and Normal. When the negative of the V
REF
signal is fed into
the High Speed input (P8-3), the EPP-450 will respond to a change in V
REF
within 10 mS. When the negative of the V
REF
signal
is fed into the Low Speed input (P8-1), the EPP-450 will respond to a change in V
REF
within 50 mS. The slower response of
the “Normal” input helps filter electrical noise sometimes encountered in industrial environments.
