Core Functions

1. Closed‑loop drive regulation: Executes high‑speed current, torque and speed closed‑loop algorithms for turbine auxiliary motor precise control.
2. Feedback signal processing: Conditions encoder and tachometer pulse inputs, calculates real‑time shaft speed and position.
3. Power‑converter command generation: Generates PWM control signals to power converter modules to adjust motor torque and speed.
4. System‑wide data exchange: Transmits operating parameters, alarm and fault codes to Mark‑V main controllers; receives set‑point and mode commands via backplane bus.
5. On‑board diagnostics: LED indicators support commissioning and troubleshooting of feedback loss and drive‑trip events.

Installation, Replacement & Critical Warnings

1. Complete system power‑down and lock‑out procedure required before servicing. Non‑hot‑swappable. ESD wrist‑strap protection is mandatory for PCB and EPROM chips.
2. Record all original jumper positions and confirm AZZ01B firmware revision before removal. Wrong jumpers or mismatched firmware may cause motor runaway or unexpected trips.
3. Secure ribbon‑cable and backplane connectors firmly; poor contact leads to feedback loss and intermittent drive faults.
4. After power‑on, perform full drive‑loop verification: check LED status, validate speed feedback, test motor start‑stop and alarm transmission.

5. Common failure mode: Transient surge from motor‑side wiring may damage front‑end feedback circuits. Inspect field wiring when speed anomalies or random trips occur.
