2. Introduction
This installation guide describes the Cornet servo drive and the steps for its wiring, installation
and powering up. Following these guidelines ensures maximum functionality of the drive and
the system to which it is connected.
1.6. Drive Description
The Cornet is a powerful servo drive that operates in digital current, velocity, position and
advanced position modes, in conjunction with a permanent-magnet synchronous brushless
motor or DC brush motor. The Cornet features flexible sinusoidal and trapezoidal
commutation, with vector control. The Cornet can operate as a stand-alone device or as part of
a multi-axis network in a distributed configuration.
The Cornet drive is set up and tuned using Elmo’s Composer software. This Windows-based
application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for optimal use with
their motor.
Power to the various models of Cornet is provided by a 115, 230, 3 x 230, 3 x 400 or 3x 460 VAC
source. A separate 24 VDC power supply serves as both the auxiliary supply and the backup
supply. This enables a safe and economical “power backup” feature that is essential for
positioning systems. An auxiliary 24 VDC power supply is required as the Cornet does not
operate without one.
Two variations of the Cornet are available: the Standard version and the Advanced version,
which features advanced positioning capabilities. Both versions operate with
RS-232 and/or CAN communication.
