1.1 Product Description
Fig. 1: E-617.001 high-power piezo amplifier for top-hat rail
mounting
Fig. 2: E-617.00F high-power piezo amplifier OEM module
E-617 high-power piezo amplifier modules are designed for
dynamic operation of low-voltage piezoelectric translators.
The innovative, efficient circuitry reduces power consumption and
heat dissipation, especially in dynamic applications. This makes
possible peak output currents up to 2000 mA and a peak power
of 280 W.
Working Principle
Charge is transferred to the piezo actuator using low-loss PWM
techniques. When the actuator is discharged, the energy not
consumed is fed through the energy recovery circuitry for reuse
in the next charging cycle. The working principle of the E-617

Introduction
series is ideally suited for high-dynamics scanning and switching
applications.
Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Piezo Operation
For open-loop piezo operation, the amplifier output voltage is
determined by the analog signal at the Control Input combined
with an optional DC-offset potentiometer setting. Open-loop
operation is ideal for applications where the fastest response and
the highest bandwidth are essential, but where commanding and
reading the target position absolutely is either not important or is
carried out in an external feedback loop.
1.2 Prescribed Use
Based on their design and realization, the E-617 High-Power
Piezo Amplifiers are intended to drive capacitive loads, in the
present case, piezoceramic actuators. The E-617 must not be
used for applications other than stated in this manual, especially
not for driving ohmic (resistive) or inductive loads.
Observe the safety precautions given in this User Manual.
Operation other than instructed in this Manual may affect the
safeguards provided.
*
E-617s meet the following minimum specifications for operation :
Indoor use only
Altitude up to 2000 m
Ambient temperature from 5°C to 40°C
Relative humidity up to 80% for temperatures up to 31°C,
decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C
Line voltage fluctuations of up to ±10% of the line voltage
Transient overvoltages as typical for public power supply
Note: The nominal level of the transient overvoltage is the standing surge voltage
according to the overvoltage category II (IEC 60364-4-443).
Degree of pollution: 2
*Any more stringent specifications in the Technical Data table are, of course,
also met.

Introduction
1.3 Safety Precautions
DANGER—Read This Before Operation
E-617 modules are amplifiers generating HIGH
VOLTAGES for driving piezoelectric actuators. The output
power may cause serious injuries.
When working with these devices or using PZT products
from other manufacturers we strongly advise you to follow
general accident prevention regulations.
Allow operation of the E-617.00F module only after it has
been installed in a proper housing which provides
protection against the exposed conductors with high
voltages.
All work done with and on the modules described here
requires adequate knowledge and training in handling High
Voltages.
Be sure to connect pin 32a/c (E-617.00F) or the housing
(E-617.001) to a Protective Ground
WARNING
E-617s need to be installed in such a way that they can
quickly and easily be separated from the supply voltage.
!
CAUTION—Electrostatic Hazard
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic
electricity. Take appropriate electrostatic protection
measures when handling modules.

E500T0011 Technical Note for Analog Driver Set
1.6 Additional Components
E-500.ACD CD with LabVIEW analog driver set, available
free of charge upon request. (Driver set can also
be downloaded from www.pi.ws: see included
technical note E500T0011 for instructions). The
E-617 can be controlled via a signal connected to
its analog input line (see "Using the Analog Input"
for more information). This signal can, for
example, be generated using a D/A board in a
PC. PI offers a LabVIEW driver set which can be
used with certain D/A boards. It is compatible with
the PI General Command Set (GCS) LabVIEW
driver set available for all newer controllers from
PI.
The PI LabVIEW drivers support all D/A converte
r
boards from National Instruments that are
compatible with DAQmx8.3. LabVIEW
compatibility is given from version 7.1 upwards.
E-500.HCD Access to HyperBit Functionality for Enhanced
System Resolution (Supports certain D/A boards)
.
PI’s patented Hyperbit technology for providing
position resolution higher than that of the D/A
board is in the E-500.ACD driver set. Activating
Hyperbit requires purchase of a password, which
can be obtained from PI under Order No. E-
500.HCD.
