Chapter 2: Introduction
This installation guide describes the Tuba 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.
2.1 Drive Description
The Tuba 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 Tuba features flexible sinusoidal and
trapezoidal commutation, with vector control. The Tuba can operate as a stand-alone
device or as part of a multi-axis network in a distributed configuration.
The Tuba drive is set up and tuned using Elmo’s Composer software. This Windowsbased application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for
optimal use with their motor.

3.3 Mounting the Tuba
The Tuba has been designed for two standard mounti ng opti ons:
Attaching directly to the wall with screws
Mounting on a DIN rail
With either type of mounting, be sure to leave about 10 cm (4 in) above and below the
instrument for heat dissipation.
3.3.1 Mounting Directly onto Wall
The vertical mounting strip at the back of the Tuba enables you to screw the drive directly
into a wall.
To mount the Tuba with the mounting strip:
1. On the back of the drive, push the mounting strip up until it clicks and locks. The top lip
(with the hole) should be exposed.

3.4 Connecting the Cables
3.4.1 Wiring the Tuba
Once the Tuba is mounted, you are ready to wire the device. Proper wiring, grounding and
shielding are essential for ensuring safe, immune and optimal servo performance of the Tuba.
Follow these instructions to ensure safe and proper wiring:
Use twisted pair shielded cables for control, feedback and communication connections.
For best results, the cable should have an aluminum foil shield covered by copper braid,
and should contain a drain wire.
The drain wire is a non-insulated wire that is in contact with parts of the cable,
usually the shield. It is used to terminate the shield and as a grounding connection.
The impedance of the wire must be as low as possible. The size of the wire must be thicker
than actually required by the carrying current. A 24, 26 or 28 AWG wire for control and
feedback cables is satisfactory although 24 AWG is recommended.
Use shielded wires for motor connections as well. If the wires are long, ensure that the
capacitance between the wires is not too high: C < 30 nF is satisfactory for most
applications.
Keep all wires and cables as short as possible.
Tuba Installation Guide Installation
MAN-TUBIG (Ver. 1.3)
Keep the motor wires as far away as possible from the feedback, control and
communication cables.
Ensure that in normal operating conditions, the shielded wires and drain carry no current.
The only time these conductors carry current is under abnormal conditions, when
electrical equipment has become a potential shock or fire hazard while conducting
external EMI interferences directly to ground, in order to prevent them from affecting the
drive. Failing to meet this requirement can result in drive/controller/host failure.
After completing the wiring, carefully inspect all wires to ensure tightness, good solder
joints and general safety.

3.4.2.1 Connecting the Motor Cable
Connect the motor power cable to the M1, M2, M3 and PE terminals of the main power
connector. The phase connection order is arbitrary because the Composer will establish the
proper commutation automatically during setup. However, if you plan to copy the set-up to
other drives, then the phase order on all copy drives must be the same.
Notes for connecting the motor cables:
For best noise immunity, it is highly recommended to use a shielded (not twisted)
cable for the motor connection. A 4-wire shielded cable should be used. The gauge is
determined by the actual current consumption of the motor.
The fourt h wire should be used for the ground connecti on bet ween the motor and
the PE terminal of the Tuba.
Connect the shield of the cable to the closest ground connection at the motor end.
Connect the shield of the cable to the PE terminal on the Tuba.
Be sure that the motor chassis is properly grounded.
