Raven Installation Guide Safety Information 1-2 MAN-RAVIG (Ver. 1.1) To avoid electric arcing and hazards to personnel and electrical contacts, never connect/disconnect the servo amplifier while the power source is on. Power cables can carry a high voltage, even when the motor is not in motion. Disconnect the Raven from all voltage sources before it is opened for servicing. After shutting off the power and removing the power source from your equipment, wait at least 5 minutes b

Raven Installation Guide 4-1 MAN-RAVIG (Ver. 1.1) Chapter 4: Servo Control Operation 4.1 Current Command Input The Raven has two differential inputs. The input operating voltage range is ± 3.75 V, meaning that a 3.75 V signal will result in a fully rated peak current. The current limit circuits will override this signal if the peak duration exceeds 2.7 seconds and/or the required current exceeds the values set by the ECLC and ECLP signals. If the input command voltage exceeds 3.75 V,
