Product Description
This installation guide describes the Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) servo drive and the steps for
its wiring, installation and power-up. Following these guidelines ensures optimal performance
of the drive and the system to which it is connected.
2.1. Drive Description
The Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed
to deliver the highest density of power and intelligence. The Gold Drum HV (High Voltage)
delivers up to 65 kW of continuous power in a compact package.
The digital drives are part of Elmo’s advanced Gold Line. They operate from a DC power source
in current, velocity, position and advanced position modes, in conjunction with a permanent-
magnet synchronous brushless motor, DC brush motor, linear motor or voice coil. They are
designed for use with any type of sinusoidal and trapezoidal commutation, with vector control.
The Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) can operate as a stand-alone device or as part of a multi-axis
system in a distributed configuration on a real-time network.
The drives are easily set up and tuned using Elmo Application Studio software tools. This
Windows-based application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for
optimal use with their motor. The Gold Drum HV (High Voltage), as part of the Gold Line, is fully
programmable with Elmo’s motion control language.
Power to the drives is provided by a DC power source (not included with the Gold Drum HV
(High Voltage)).
Since the power stage is fully isolated from the control stage, the DC rectifier can be fed
directly from the mains, without the need for a bulky and expensive transformer.
If backup functionality is required to store control parameters in the event of a mains power
outage, then an S, T, or A-model Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) should be used, with an external
24 VDC isolated supply connected to it.
Note:
The backup functionality can operate from an isolated voltage source within the range
of 18 to 30 VDC.
Whenever backup functionality is not required, Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) models that have
the 0 or 1 option (only for 400 V model) in the catalog number (see page 25) can be used, i.e.,
they do not have a 24 V control supply. In these models, a smart control-supply algorithm
enables the Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) to operate with only the main power supply VP+ and
VN-, with no need for a 24 VDC auxiliary power supply for the logic.
