Selection Recommendations

1. Actuator Compatibility: Ensure your piezoelectric actuator’s voltage and current requirements match the controller’s output range (-30V to +130V, 200mA peak).
2. Communication Needs: Choose the optional EtherCAT module if integrating into a high-speed industrial network; use TCP/IP or USB for simpler setups.
3. Environmental Conditions: Verify the operating temperature (0°C to 40°C) and humidity levels match your application’s environment.
4. Software Integration: Confirm compatibility with your control system’s software (e.g., LabVIEW, MATLAB) using the provided drivers.

Precautions

1. Installation:
   • Mount the controller in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating; avoid direct exposure to moisture or dust.
   • Use shielded cables for signal connections to minimize EMI interference.
2. Operation:
   • Do not exceed the rated output voltage or current to prevent actuator damage.
   • Calibrate the system using the ZYGO Alignment Tool before initial use to ensure optimal performance.
3. Maintenance:
   • Regularly update firmware via the ZYGO Control Suite to access the latest features and bug fixes.
   • Inspect cooling vents quarterly and clean with compressed air to maintain thermal efficiency.
