Chapter 2: Product Description
This installation guide describes the Trombone 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 Trombone series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the
highest density of power and intelligence. The Trombone delivers up to 10 kW of continuous
power or 16 kW of peak power in a compact package.
The digital drives are based on Elmo’s advanced SimplIQ motion control technology. 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 Trombone 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’s Composer software tools. This Windows-
based application enables users to configure the servo drive quickly and simply for optimal use
with their motor. The Trombone, as part of the SimplIQ product line, is fully programmable
with Elmo’s Composer motion control language.
Power to the drives is provided by a DC power source (not included with the Trombone).
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-model Trombone 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, Trombone models that do not have the Control
Supply S suffix in the catalog number (only for 400 V models -see page 17) can be used, i.e.,
they do not have a 24 V control supply. In these models, a smart control-supply algorithm
enables the Trombone to operate with only the main power supply VP+ and VN-, with no need
for a 24 VDC auxiliary power supply for the logic.
The Trombone is a PCB-mounted device, which enables efficient and cost-effective
implementation. However, stand-alone integrated products (the DC Trombone and Solo
Trombone) are also available, using pluggable connections.
