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 kWofcontinuous power or
5.4 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.
2-1
The Guitar 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 Metronome motion control language.
Power to the Guitar is provided by a 12 ~ 195 VDC isolated DC power source (not included
with the Guitar). A “smart” control-supply algorithm enables the Guitar to operate with
only one 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 12 ~ 195 VDC isolated supply should be connected (via the +VL terminal on the
Guitar) providing maximum flexibility and backup functionality when needed.
Note: This backup power supply can operate from any voltage source within the 12 ~ 195
VDC range. This is much more flexible than a standard 24 VDC power supply requirement.
If back-up power is not needed, two terminals (VP and VL) are shorted so that the main
power supply will also power the control/logic supply. 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 RS232 and CANopen DS 301, DS 305, DS 402 communications and features a thirdgeneration programming environment.

3.3.3 Connector J2
Connector J2: Communications, Auxiliary Feedback and I/O functions
The Guitar was designed for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB). It is connected by
2 mm pitch 0.51 mm square pins. When designing the Guitar into a device, be sure to leave
about 1 cm (0.4") outward from the heatsink to enable free air convection around the Guitar. We
recommend that the Guitar be soldered directly to the board. Alternatively, though this is not
recommended, the Guitar can be attached to socket connectors mounted on the PCB. If the PCB
is enclosed in a metal chassis, we recommend that the Guitar be screw-mounted to it as well to
help with heat dissipation. The Guitar has screw-mount holes on each corner of the heatsink for
this purpose.

MAN-GUIIG (Ver. 1.1)
3.5 Integrating the Guitar on a PCB
The Guitar is designed to be mounted on a PCB, either by soldering its pins directly to the
PCB or by using suitable socket connectors. In both cases the following rules apply:
3.5.1 Traces
1. The size of the traces on the PCB (thickness and width) is determined by the current
carrying capacity required by the application.
The rated continuous current limit (Ic)of the Guitar is the current used for sizing
the motor traces (M1, M2, M3 and PE) and power traces (VP+, PR and PE).
For control, feedbacks and Inputs/ outputs conductors the actual current is very
small but “generous” thickness and width of the conductors will contribute to a
better performance and lower interferences.
2. The traces should be as short as possible to minimize EMI and to minimize the heat
generated by the conductors.
3. The spacing between the high voltage conductors (VP+, PR, M1, M2, M3, VL) must be
at least:
Surface layer: 1.5 mm
Internal layer: 0.5 mm
3-6
Complying with the rules above will help satisfy UL safety standards, MIL-STD-275 and the
IPC-D-275 standard for non-coated conductors, operating at voltages lower than 200 VDC
and at “unlimited altitudes” (above 10,000 meters – 30,000 feet).
3.5.2 Grounds and Returns
The “Returns” of the Guitar are structured internally in a star configuration. The returns in
each functional block are listed below:
Functional Block Return Pin
Power PR (Power Return)
Internal Switch Mode P.S. PR (Power Return)
RS232 Communications RS232_COMRET (J1/3)
CAN Communications CAN_COMRET (J1/30)
Control section COMRET (J1/28)
Main Feedback SUPRET (J2/2)
Aux. Feedback SUPRET (J1/6)
Analog input ANLRET (J2/2)
The returns above are all shorted within the Guitar in a topology that results in optimum
performance.
1. When wiring the traces of the above functions, on the Integration Board, the Returns of
each function must be wired separately to its designated terminal on the Guitar. DO NOT USE A COMMON GROUND PLANE. Shorting the commons on the Integration
Board may cause performance degradation (ground loops, etc).
Guitar Installat ion GuideInstallation
MAN-GUIIG (Ver. 1.1)
2. Inputs: The 6 inputs are optically isolated from the other parts of the Guitar. Each input
has a separate floating return (INRET1 for input 1 and INRET2 for input 2, etc.). To retain
isolation, the Input Return pins, as well as other conductors on the input circuit, must be
laid out separately.
3. Outpu ts: The 4 outputs are optically isolated from the other parts of the Guitar. Each
output has a separate floating return (OUTRET1 for output 1 and OUTRET2 for output 2,
etc.) To retain isolation, the Output Return pins, as well as other conductors on the
output circuit, must be laid out separately.
4. Return Traces: The return traces should be as large as possible, but without shorting
each other, and with minimal cross-overs.
5. Main Power Supply and Motor Traces: The power traces must be kept as far away as
possible from the feedback, control and communication traces.
6. PE Terminal: The PE terminal is connected directly to the Guitar’s heat-sink. The heat-
sink serves as an EMI common plane. The PE terminal should be connected to the
system's Protective Earth. Any other metallic parts (such as the chassis) of the assembly
should be connected to the Protective Earth as well.
3-7
7. Under normal operating conditions, the PE trace carries no current. The only time these
traces carry current is under abnormal conditions (such as when the device has become a
potential shock or fire hazard while conducting external EMI interferences directly to
ground). When connected properly the PE trace prevents these hazards from affecting
the drive.
Follow these instructions to ensure safe and proper implementation.
Failure to meet any of the above-mentioned requirements can result in
drive/controller/host failure.

3.10 Auxiliary Feedback
For auxiliary feedback, select one of the following options:
a. Single-ended emulated encoder outputs, used to provide emulated encoder signals to
another controller or drive. The Emulated Encoder Output Option is only available when
using a Resolver, Analog Encoder, Tachometer, Potentiometer or Absolute Encoder as the
main feedback device. The absolute model provides differential emulated encoder
output.
This option can be used when:
The Guitar is used as a current amplifier to provide position data to the position
controller.
The Guitar is used in velocity mode, to provide position data to the position
controller.
The Guitar is used as a master in follower or ECAM mode.
b. Single-ended auxiliary encoder input, for the input of position data of the master
encoder in follower or ECAM mode.
3-21
c. Pulse-and-direction input, for single-ended input of pulse-and-direction position
commands.
When using one of the auxiliary feedback options, the relevant functionality is software
selected for that option. Refer to the SimplIQ Command Reference Manual for detailed setup
information.

3.12 Communications
The communication interface may differ according to the user’s hardware. The Guitar can
communicate using the following options:
a. RS-232, full duplex
b. CANopen
RS-232 communication requires a standard, commercial 3-core null-modem cable connected
from the Guitar to a serial interface on the PC. The interface is selected and set up in the
Composer software.
In order to benefit from CANopen communication, the user must have an understanding of
the basic programming and timing issues of a CANopen network.
For ease of setup and diagnostics of CAN communication, RS-232 and CANopen can be used
simultaneously.
3-35
3.12.1 RS-232 Communication
Notes for connecting the RS-232 communication cable:
Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC). Usually, this connection is
soldered internally inside the connector at the PC end. You can use the drain wire to
facilitate connection.
The RS-232 communication port is non-isolated.
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the connector used for
RS-232 communications. The drain wire can be used to facilitate the connection.

Notes for connecting the CANopen communication cable:
Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC). Usually, this connection is
soldered internally inside the connector at the PC end. You can use the drain wire to
facilitate connection.
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the connector used for
communications. The drain wire can be used to facilitate the connection.
Make sure to have a 120-ohm resistor termination at each of the two ends of the
network cable.
The Guitar’s CAN port is non-isolated.

3.13 Powering Up
After the Guitar is connected to its device, it is ready to be powered up.
3-39
Caution:
Before applying power, ensure that the DC supply is within the specified range
and that the proper plus-minus connections are in order.
3.14 Initializing the System
After the Guitar has been connected and mounted, the system must be set up and initialized.
This is accomplished using the Composer, Elmo’s Windows-based software application. Install
the application and then perform setup and initialization according to the directions in the
ComposerSoftware Manual.
3.15 Heat Dissipation
The best way to dissipate heat from the Guitar is to mount it so that its heatsink faces up. For
best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Guitar's heatsink and any other
assembly.
3.15.1 Guitar Thermal Data
• Heat dissipation capability (θ): Approximately 8 °C/W.
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 360 seconds (thermal time constant means
that the Guitar will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 6 minutes).
• Shut-off temperature: 86 °C – 88 °C (measured on the heatsink)
3.15.2 Heat Dissipation Data
Heat Dissipation is shown in graphically below:

3.15.3 How to Use the Char ts
The charts above are based upon theoretical worst-case conditions. Actual test results show
30% - 50% better power dissipation.
To determine if your application needs a heatsink:
1. Allow maximum heatsink temperature to be 80 °C or less.
2. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the Guitar.
3. Calculate the allowable temperature increase as follows:
• for an ambient temperature of 40 °C , ∆T= 80 °C – 40 °C = 40 °C
4. Use the chart to find the actual dissipation power of the drive. Follow the voltage
curve to the desired output current and then find the dissipated power.
5. If the dissipated power is below 5 W the Guitar will need no additional cooling.
Note: The chart above shows that no heatsink is needed when the heatsink temperature is
80 °C, ambient temperature is 40 °C and heat dissipated is 5 Watts:
