<p>A reel motor drive system using a first and a second signal for comparing an error signal derived from a tape tension sensing transducer with a respective polarity of separate positive and negative repetitive ramp signals. Each comparator produces an output signal as a series of constant frequency, duty cycle modulated pulses having a duration equal to the time that the error signal is greater than the ramp signal being compared thereto. These pulses are used as drive signals to a reel motor through a motor power amplifier and are used to develop mutually exclusive steering signals for selecting a motor drive direction by means of a steering logic circuit. The steering signals are also applied to the motor power amplifier to select a current path through the reel motor corresponding to the desired motor drive direction.</p> |
