5.3 Connections for VoltPAQ-X2
Some amplifiers, such as the Quanser VoltPAQ-X2, need to be enabled and have an emergency switch connected.
The amplifier may not have an analog sensor interface built-in either - requiring an external device. This section
describes the wiring required for that configuration. The connections are summarized in Table 5.3 and depicted in
Figure 5.2.
Note: The wiring diagram shown in Figure 5.1 is using a two-channel data-acquisition board, which resembles a
Quanser Q2-USB. The same connections can be applied for any data-acquisition system - as long as it has least
two analog input, two analog output, and two encoder channels.
The power amplifier used resembles a VoltPAQ-X2 system, which is a two-channel amplifier that requires digital
enabling and an emergency stop switch to be connected. Remark that the analog sensor are interfaced through an
Analog Signal Conditioner box to split the potentiometer (S1) and tachometer (S2) channels.
