pump means swinging the pump from full stroke in one direction to full stroke in
the opposite direction. Only the positive side of the pot is functional if unidirectional
output is selected.

Notes
1. The Driver Card requires a 24 VDC power supply, in addition to the ±15VDC
regulated power supply, to operate the F5C, due to higher compliance voltage
requirements. Jupiter Power Supply Accessory S20-11715 provides both 24VDC
and ±15VDC for operation of either valve.
2. Use extreme caution when switching from Remote thru Off to Local mode since
the output will immediately begin to ramp to the output level set by Command
Level Potentiometer which may be set at some higher level, or even in the
opposite direction, or both, resulting in unexpected output. Always dwell in the
Off position first, checking proper Command Level settings, before switching
into Local mode. Remember that the output is controlled by the front panel in
Local mode.
3. Tie both +15VDC in (A24) and +24VDC in (C28) to Power Supply +15VDC.
Tie both -15VDC in (A26) and -24VDC in (C30) to Power Supply -15VDC.
4. If the Options Card is used, additional +15VDC current capacity is required
as follows:
ADDITIONAL POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS WHEN USING
THE OPTIONS CARD

5. The Jupiter Power Supply Accessory provides all power supply voltages neces-
sary for operating a stroker or an F5C valve.

GENERAL Jupiter Driver Card S20-11712-0 is a linear bidirectional constant current coil driver
used for proportional open-loop control of the Goldcup and Worldcup piston pumps
and the F5C Flow Control valve. Input commands to the card may be voltage, current
loop, or potentiometer, single-ended or differential. Multiple input commands are per-
mitted but must be interlocked by the user to insure that the card is controlled by only
one input at a time. The card also features two ranges of positive and negative ramp-
ing, optional dither for the F5C, remote emergency shutdown control, and provisions
for closed-loop control with Jupiter Options Card S20-11716. The Driver card is pack-
aged in a 3U Eurocard size and may be operated with stand alone DC power supplies
or with Jupiter Power Supply Accessory S20-11715, which conveniently combines
the required DC power supplies with a Eurocard holder in a single panel mounted
package.

OPEN LOOP CONTROL The Driver Card with its power supply accessory is used for open-loop control. It
provides multiple input commands, ramping, dither and front panel set-up controls.
The panel mounted power supply furnishes the driver Card with regulated DC power
and features a holder and screw terminals for simplified panel wiring.

6
 GENERAL

CLOSED LOOP CONTROL The Options Card is used in conjunction with the Driver Card for precise closed-loop
control. It features digital and DC tachometer feedback, horsepower limiting, and PI
control of feedback error. A panel mounted Eurocard holder with screw terminals is
available for easy mounting. Power for the Options Card is obtained from the Driver
Card’s power supply.

OPERATION Circuit Description for Driver Card

OUTPUT The output stage of the Driver Card is a linear, bidirectional, DC constant current
source with current feedback for precise control of current thru the coil regardless of
changes in coil resistance. The compliance voltage across the coil is a function of coil
resistance and the current thru the coil.

The direction of the current thru the coil may be made unidirectional for F5C and
Worldcup controls and bidirectional for Goldcup controls via a dip switch embedded
on the card. Dither may be applied to the F5C by AC modulating the DC output also
enabled by a dip switch embedded on the card. Dither must never be used with the
Goldcup or Worldcup pump stroker since the jet pipe construction of the stroker
cannot withstand the strain of AC modulation.

Zero and Gain of the output stage are adjusted by potentiometers located on the front
panel. Dither Amplitude and Frequency are adjusted by potentiometers embedded on
the card. The output stage is completely protected against short circuits across the
coil and short circuits to ground by the current limiting action of the power amplifier.

INPUTS The output of the driver card may be controlled by the Command Level potentiometer
on the front panel in Local mode or by user-wired remote inputs in the Remote mode.
Local and Remote modes are selected via a switch located on the front panel. The
Command Level potentiometer is a single-turn pot providing ±full scale input and is
recommended for set-up purposes only.

Use of the remote inputs is the primary method of wiring the card for routine input
connections from standard industrial control sources such as voltage and current loop
controllers and potentiometers. Use of the auxiliary remote inputs permits the user to
have a secondary input source in addition to the remote inputs. But in this multiple
source case, the user must interlock the remote input with the auxiliary remote input
to insure that the Driver Card is controlled by only one input at a time. This provision
for multiple inputs could, for example, allow the user to wire a current loop from a
process controller, into the remote inputs and a potentiometer from the operator’s
control station into the auxiliary remote input. Wiring both inputs thru a single double-
pole double throw switch would give the operator a convenient choice of input
sources and insure that the card is controlled by only one source at a time.

The user has a choice of a voltage, current loop or potentiometer input using the
remote input and a choice between a voltage and potentiometer input using the
auxiliary remote inputs. Voltage inputs may be ±5 or ±10VDC, single-ended or
differential. Current loop inputs are differential ±4-20, ±0-20, or 12±8mA. All
potentiometer inputs are 10K. On board ±10VDC reference supplies provide
convenient sourcing for the potentiometer input. Dip switches embedded on
the card are used to configure the user’s choice of input.

RAMP GENERATOR Adjustable positive and negative ramping of the output for changes in the input
command are provided in two ranges of .1-6 and .4-40 seconds. Ramping and ramp-
ing ranges are selected by dip switches embedded on the card. The Command Level
potentiometer and the Step Command pushbutton located on the front panel may be
used for accurate adjustment of ramp times.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS Key indicators, potentiometer adjustments, switches, and test points are brought out
AND INDICATORS to the front panel for monitoring, set-up and calibration purposes. LEDs are provided
for indicating the status of the ±15VDC internal supplies, the direction of output
current, and the status of emergency shutdown relay K1.
Potentiometer adjustments include ±Ramp times, Zero, Gain, Bal, and ±4mA Zero.
Test points accepting industry standard probe tips are furnished for measurement of
the input, output, ramp, and signal ground.

7
 GENERAL

A Local-Off-Remote switch is provided to switch control of the Driver card from local
front panel control to user-wired remote control. Off de-energizes emergency shut-
down relay K1, opening the circuit between the power amplifier and the valve coil.
The Command Level potentiometer permits the operator to drive the output ±full
scale if Zero and Gain are set for full scale output.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Use extreme caution when switching from Remote thru Off to Local mode since the
output will immediately begin ramping to the output level set by Command Level
Potentiometer which may be set at some higher level or even in the opposite direction
or both, resulting in unexpected output. Always dwell in the Off position first, checking
proper Command Level settings, before switching into Local mode. Remember that
the output is controlled by the Front Panel Pot in Local mode.
The Command Level pot is used in conjunction with the Step Command pushbutton
for set-up and calibration of the Driver card. Pressing then releasing the Step
Command pushbutton in Local mode triggers ramping of the output from zero current
to the current level set by the Command Level potentiometer, permitting accurate and
simple adjustment of both positive and negative ramp times.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN A normally-open relay contact (K1) is embedded in the output stage of the Driver card
OPTION and is connected in series between the power amplifier and the valve coil in order to
provide a true open circuit for emergency shutdown requirements. The coil of K1 is
brought out as an input to permit the user to operate the relay remotely thru a
normally-closed emergency shutdown switch. If the user declines the use of this
option, he must jumper this input to power ground for the card to operate. This relay
is also operated by the onboard 12±8mA current loop shutdown detector which will
shutdown the output if a break in the current loop is detected. Kl is not a latching
relay.
“Remote Shutdown” circuit is enhanced to permit the Remote Shutdown function to
be operated with a +15-+24VDC signal on terminal C8. JP3 selects this function. This
function is not available on the Jupiter Power Supply. The drawings on the following
pages illustrate the wiring connections. Please note that J1 or a user supplier relay or
switch must be installed.
The soft stop option input causes the Driver card output to go to zero, at the set ramp
rate, when this input is pulled to signal ground thru a user supplied external relay
contact. Use terminal A8 on the Driver card or terminal block 21 on the Jupiter Power
Supply S20-11715. This function, when activated, will cause the Driver card output to
ramp to zero (soft stop), where as the Remote Shutdown will cause the Driver card
output to go immediately to zero (hard stop).

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS The Driver card requires only a single ±15VDC dual tracking regulated power supply
rated at 500mA for driving a Goldcup or Worldcup stroker. It requires an additional
24VDC unregulated supply rated at 300mA for driving an F5C.

Jupiter Power Supply Accessory S20-11715 conveniently provides both ±15VDC

and 24VDC supplies combined with a Eurocard holder for the driver card in a single
panel-mounted package. This power supply is also designed to handle the power
required by Jupiter Options Card S20-11716 used for closed-loop applications.
A separate Eurocard holder is required for the Options card.

CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL The Driver Card operating as a stands alone driver is used primarily for open-loop
control. With the Jupiter Options Card, S20-11716, the Driver Card can be used for
closed-loop control systems. The Options Card provides digital and DC tachometer
feedback, horsepower limiting and PI control of feedback error in a single Eurocard,
designed to accompany the Driver Card. Inputs from the summing junction of the
power amplifier in the output stage of the Driver card are brought out for feedback
control by the Options card in closed-loop systems. These feedback inputs are,
however, general purpose enough to accept feedback from sources other than the
Options Card making elementary closed-loop control possible with just the Driver
Card. A Balance adjustment is provided on the front panel of the Driver Card for
convenient scaling of a minor loop feedback input.

8
 GENERAL

The “Ramp-at-Zero” output goes high (+13VDC) when ramp is at zero and zero volts
when ramp is not at zero. The Ramp-at-Zero output is located on terminal C18 on the
Driver card and terminal block 24 on the Jupiter Power Supply S20-11715. This func-
tion is useful when connected to the Integrator Reset, C4, on the Jupiter Options card
S20-11716. The integrator is held reset when the Ramp-at-Zero goes high. This action
will keep the system from hunting under no-load conditions at a speed command of
zero.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE Preparation

JUPITER DRIVER CARD 1. Having selected the hydraulic valve to be driven by Jupiter, determine the type of
input(s), ramping ranges, direction of output current, etc., and set switches SW1
and SW2 per tables 1 thru 4 shown in the wiring diagrams.

F5C or Stroker
Configure the F5C and the Worldcup pump for unidirectional output. The Goldcup
Pump may be configured for unidirectional or bidirectional output. In either case,
coil output is always positive for positive input commands.

Dither
Dither may or may not be used on the F5C but must never be used on a stroker.

Remote Shutdown Pin A30

(Screw Terminal #10 on Power Supply)
The remote shutdown input must be at ground for the Driver Card to operate in
the Remote mode. This Input may be grounded thru a normally-closed Remote
Emergency Shutdown switch which will remove the Input from Ground when
activated, thus shutting down the driver Card, or it may be jumpered directly to
Ground if the Remote Shutdown feature is not required. Be sure to use Pin A32
(or Screw Terminal #11 on Power Supply Accessory) as Ground.

2. Review wiring diagrams to insure proper connections.

WARNING:
To prevent damage to the card, always remove power from the Driver Card
before removing it from its holder.

3. Only a digital voltmeter and a small plastic screwdriver will be required for
calibration. The test points on the front panel accept industry standard probe tips.

4. Shutdown hydraulics but leave power on to the driver card and coil. This will
eliminate any inadvertently hazardous operation of the hydraulics while calibrating
the card and coil.

5. Switch the Driver Card into Remote.

6. Adjust +Ramp and -Ramp Potentiometers fully CCW to minimize the effects of
ramping while adjusting Zero and Gain. If ramp times have already been set,
ramping may be bypassed entirely by placing both 1 and 2 of SW2, located on
the Driver Card, in the open position.

7. Adjust the Gain Potentiometer fully CW to provide maximum sensitivity for zero
adjustments.

A. Zero Adjustment
Zero adjustment provides zero output current I to the coil for zero volts input
command or zero current input command. If you are using a potentiometer input,
follow the adjustments below for a voltage input since a potentiometer input
actually generates a voltage input command.

1. Adjust the input command to zero volts for voltage inputs, or to zero current
for current loop inputs. (Zero current input can be obtained by opening the
current loop connection at the input.)

2. Connect a voltmeter across the Out and GND test points on the front panel.
Adjust the Zero pot on the front panel until zero volts is read. The Out test
point is scaled to provide ±1mV per ±1mA of coil current.

9
 GENERAL

B. ±4mA Zero Adjustments

(±4-20mA current loop input command only)
±4mA zero adjustments provide zero output current I to the coil for input
commands between +4mA and -4mA inclusive.
1. Perform Zero Adjustment, Part A before proceeding.

2. Adjust both +4mA and -4mA pots fully CW.

3. Set the input command to +4mA.

4. With the voltmeter connected across the Out and Gnd test points on the
front panel, adjust the +4mA pot slowly CCW just until zero volts is read
and stop. Do not adjust the pot beyond this point. The Out test point is
scaled to provide ±1mV per ±1mA of coil current.

5. Set the input command to -4mA.

6. With the voltmeter connected across the Out and Gnd test points on the
front panel, adjust the -4mA pot slowly CCW just until zero volts is read and
stop. Do not adjust the pot beyond this point. The Out test point is scaled
to provide ±1mV per ±1mA of coil current.

C. 12±8mA Zero Adjustments

(12±8mA current loop input command only)
12±8mA zero adjustments provide zero output current I to the coil for +12mA
input. (+Full Scale = 20mA and -Full Scale = 4mA)

1. Perform Zero Adjustment, Part A before proceeding.

2. Set the input command to +12mA.

3. With the voltmeter connected across the Out and Gnd test points on the
front panel, adjust the +4mA pot on the front panel until zero volts is read.
The Out test point is scaled to provide ±1mV per ±1mA of coil current.

WARNING:
Negative full scale output is produced for a 12±8mA current loop input of +4mA.
A broken current loop connection (0 mA Input) will drive the output even more
negative than full scale, resulting in an unintentional and possibly hazardous
hydraulic-mechanical situation. Remember to Place Switch SW1-8 in the Open
Position to enable the automatic current loop shutdown detector which trips
shutdown relay K1 if an open-circuit is detected in the loop.

D. Gain Adjustment
Gain Adjustment provides full scale output current I thru the coil for maximum
input command.
1. Reconnect input and adjust the input command to + or - Full Scale. Full
scale Voltage Inputs may be ±5V, ±10V, or a potentiometer rotated fully
CW or CCW. Full scale Current loop inputs may be ±20mA for ±0-20mA
and ±4-20mA loops, and +20 and +4mA for the 12±8mA loop.

2. Adjust the Gain pot to provide Full Stroke at the Pump or Full Flow thru
the F5C. The output current from the driver card required to produce Full
Stroke or Full Flow may be read across the Out and Gnd test points scaled
to provide ±1mV per ±1mA of coil current.

E. Ramp Adjustments
A Ramp Adjustment sets the time it takes for the output current to change in
response to a step change in the input. The output current may ramp up or ramp
down to the changed output commanded by the input depending upon the direc-
tion the input changes. The +Ramp Pot adjusts ramp-up time and the -Ramp
Pot adjusts the ramp-down time.

1. Shutdown hydraulics but leave power on to the Driver Card.

2. Switch the Driver Card into Local mode.

10
 GENERAL

WARNING:
Remember that the Driver Card responds to the local command pot in the Local Mode
and will drive the coil as commanded. Shutting down the hydraulics during this set-up
operation will prevent any inadvertently hazardous operation of the load.

3. To adjust Positive Ramp Time, connect a voltmeter across the Ramp and
Gnd test points on the front panel, adjust the Local Command pot fully CW
to +I, press Step Command and hold until zero volts is read, then release.
Ramp voltage will begin ramping from zero to 10VDC full scale. Ramp time
is the time it takes to ramp from zero to 10VDC and may be measured by a
simple wrist watch. Ramp time is adjustable between .1 and 6 sec. or
between .4 and 40 sec. depending upon the ramp range selected on the
Driver Card. (See SW2). Adjust the +Ramp pot on the front panel CW to
Increase Ramp Time and CCW to Decrease Ramp Time.

4. To adjust Negative Ramp Time, connect a voltmeter across the Ramp and
Gnd test points on the front panel, adjust the Local Command pot fully
CCW to -I, press Step Command and hold until zero volts is read, then
release. Ramp voltage will begin ramping from zero to -10VDC full scale.
Ramp time is the time it takes to ramp from zero to -10VDC and may be
measured by a simple wrist watch. Ramp time is adjustable between .1 and
6 sec. or between .4 and 40 sec. depending upon the ramp range selected
on the Driver Card (See SW2). Adjust the +Ramp pot on the front panel CW
to Increase Ramp Time and CCW to Decrease Ramp Time.

F. Balance Adjustment
(Use only with Minor Closed-Loop Feedback on pin A16)
1. To begin, adjust Bal pot fully CW to provide Maximum Minor Loop
Feedback.

2. Apply power to the hydraulics and set the Input Command at the desired
operating point. With the Bal adjusted fully CW in Step 1, the system should
not be able to reach this operating point since maximum feedback is overrid-
ing the Input Command. Turn the Bal pot slowly CCW to reduce the amount
of feedback to the point where the feedback matches the Input Command
and the system moves toward the operating point.

G. Dither Adjustments
(Use only with the F5C Flow Control Valve)
Dither is a sinusoidal signal superimposed upon the coil current flowing thru the
F5C. It is used to reduce hysteresis in the valve, thus making the control of the
flow thru the valve more responsive to the Input Command. Dither is adjusted by
varying the frequency and amplitude of the sinusoidal signal.
Potentiometer adjustments for Dither Frequency and Amplitude are embedded
on the Driver Card and labeled R55 and R61 respectively. Dither may be
entirely disabled by placing SW2-3 in the Open position.

WARNING:
Never use Dither with a Pump Stroker. Always disable Dither by placing
SW2-3 in the Open position.

1. Dither adjustments are made with power applied to the hydraulics and the
system operational.

2. Place SW2-3 in the Closed position to enable Dither.

3. To begin, adjust Dither Frequency pot R55 fully CCW for minimum
frequency and the Amplitude Pot R61 fully CW for maximum amplitude.

4. Apply power to the hydraulics and observe valve pulsating and humming
to the dither set at maximum amplitude and minimum frequency.

5. Decrease the amplitude (R61 CCW) and increase the frequency (R55 CW)
until an optimum point is reached where pulsating and humming of the
valve body has ceased, yet the spool is still felt to be moving and flow
control responds to the input command in both directions indicating
reduced hysteresis.
