Chapter 1: This Installation Guide
This installation Guide details the technical data, pinouts, and power connectivity of the Gold
Panther. For a comprehensive detailed description of the functions and connections of the drive,
refer to the MAN-G-Drive Hardware manual, and especially the sections in Chapter 7 which describe
PCB Mounted products.
Chapter 2: Product Description
The Gold Panther series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the
highest density of power and intelligence. The Gold Panther delivers up to 10 kW of continuous
power or 16 kW of peak 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 Panther 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 Panther, 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 Panther).
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 or T-model Gold Panther 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 Panther models that have 0 or 1 suffix (only for
400V models) in the catalog number (see page 9) 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 Panther 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 Gold Panther is a PCB-mounted device which enables efficient and cost-effective
implementation. However, stand-alone integrated products (the Gold DC Trombone and Gold Solo
Trombone) are also available, using pluggable connections.
