Recommended Amplifiers/Controllers Reference List
The Latest List of Recommended Amps and Controllers
The list below refers to the recommendations in the technical data tables of the following sections in this catalog: "PZT Actuators", "PZT Flexure Nano Positioners", "PZT Active Optics" and "Micropositioners". For most PI PZT Actuators and PZT NanoPositioning Systems more than one amplifier/controller combination is available. The selection depends on the application and personal preference. A low dynamic application does not require a high powered amplifier; in OEM applications there may not be enough space for rack mount amplifiers/controllers. The information below is a general guideline; please refer to the technical data for each amplifier/ controller for details and call your local PI representative if you need further assistance.A: Quasi-static applications: * E-660.00 (bench-top) or * E-660.OE (OEM module)
B: Low power applications: E-463 (3 channel bench-top amplifier)
B: Quasi-static applications: * E-461.00 (bench-top) or * E-461.OE (OEM module)
C: * E-610.00 OEM amplifier module
D: * E-610.S0 OEM amplifier/controller module or * E-662.SR bench-top amplifier/controller
E: * E-610.L0 OEM amplifier/controller module or * E-662.LR bench-top amplifier/controller
F: * E-610.C0 OEM amplifier/controller module
G: Low & medium power applications: E-500 (E-501) chassis + E-503 (three channel amp.) + optional E-515 display/ interface. Alternatively E-663 (3 channel bench-top amplifier)

H: Low & medium power applications: E-500 (E-501) chassis + E-503 (3 channel amp.) + E-509.ab controller (a: sensor type; b: # axis (see E-509 description) + optional E-515 display / interface
H: High power applications: E-500 chassis + * E-505 (1 channel amp.) + E-509.ab controller (a: sensor type; b: # axis (see E-509 description)) + optional E-515 display / interface
I: Low & medium power applications: E-500 chassis + * E-507 (1 channel amp.) + optional E-515 display / interface.
I: High power applications: E-420 (OEM amplifier module) or E-470 (bench-top amplifier) or E-472 (2 channel 19" rack).
J: Low & medium power applications: E-500 chassis + * E-507 (1 channel amp.) + E-509.ab (a: sensor type; b: # axis (see E-509 description)) + optional E-515 display / interface
J: High power applications: E-471 + E-509.a1 (a: sensor type (see E-509 description)) + optional E-515 display/ interface
K: E-710.3CD Digital Controller. D-Sub special connector for operation voltage and sensors.
L: E-710.4CL Digital Controller. LEMO connectors for operation voltage and sensors. (See E-710 description for details)
E-501.10 / E-612.C0 High Speed Parallel Port NanoAutomation Controller (See E-612.C0 description for details)
* Depending on the number of axes (channels) to be driven, more than one module may be required.
