Chapter 2: Introduction
This installation guide describes the Guitar servo drive and the steps for its wiring, installation
and power-up. Following these guidelines ensures maximum functionality of the drive and the
system to which it is connected.
2.1. Drive Description
The Guitar series of digital servo drives is designed to deliver “the highest density of power and
intelligence”. The Guitar delivers up to 4.8 kW of continuous power or 8.0 kW of peak power
in a 119. 6 cc (6.95 in³) package (80 x 24.5 x 61 mm or 3.15" x 0.965" x 2.4").
The Guitar is designed for OEMs. It operates 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. It is designed for use with any type
of sinusoidal and trapezoidal commutation, with vector control. The Guitar 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 Guitar servo drive is easily set up and tuned using Elmo’s Composer software tools. This
Windows-based application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for
optimal use with their motor. The Guitar, as part of the
SimplIQ product line, is fully
programmable with the Elmo Composer motion control language.
Power to the Guitar is provided by an isolated DC power source (not included with the Guitar). A
“smart” control-supply algorithm enables the Guitar to operate with only this power supply
with no need for an auxiliary power supply for the logic.
If backup functionality is required for storing control parameters in case of power-loss, an
external isolated supply should be connected (via the VL terminal on the Guitar) providing
maximum flexibility and backup functionality when needed.
If backup power is not needed, two terminals (VP and VL) must be connected together by the
user. In this way there is no need for a separate control/logic supply.
The Guitar is a PCB mounted device which enables efficient and economic implementation.
The Guitar is available in two models:
• The Standard Guitar is a basic servo drive which operates in current, velocity and position
modes including Follower and PT & PVT. It operates simultaneously via RS-232 and CAN DS
301, DS 305, DS 402 communications and features a third-generation programming
environment.
• The Advanced Guitar includes all the motion capabilities and communication options
included in the Standard model, as well as advanced positioning capabilities: ECAM, Dual
Loop and increased program size.
Both versions operate with RS-232 and CAN communication.
