2.2. Drive Description
The Falcon is a series of highly durable and intelligent servo drives. Designed for OEMs, the
Falcon is part of the Elmo’s ExtrIQ product line designed to endure extended environmental
operating conditions.
The digital drives are based on Elmo's advanced ExtrIQ 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 Falcon 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 Falcon 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 Falcon is provided by a 10 to 195 VDC source. A smart control-supply algorithm
enables the Falcon to operate with the power supply only, with no need for an auxiliary 24 Volt
supply. If backup functionality is required for storing control parameters in case of power-outs,
an external 24 VDC power supply can be connected, providing maximum flexibility and optional
backup functionality when needed.
