Eagle HV Installation GuideSafety Information
1.1. Warnings
• To avoid electric arcing and hazards to personnel and electrical contacts, never
connect/disconnect the servo drive while the power source is on.
• Disconnect the Eagle HV from all voltage sources before it is opened for servicing.
• The Eagle HV servo drive contains grounding conduits for electric current protection. Any
disruption to these conduits may cause the instrument to become hot (live) and dangerous.
• After shutting off the power and removing the power source from your equipment, wait at
least 1 minute before touching or disconnecting parts of the equipment that are normally
loaded with electrical charges (such as capacitors or contacts). It is recommended to
measure the electrical contact points with a meter before touching the equipment.
1.2. Cautions
• The Eagle HV servo drive contains hot surfaces and electrically-charged components during
operation.
9
• The maximum DC power supply connected to the instrument must comply with the
parameters outlined in this guide.
• When connecting to Eagle HV to an approved isolated 24 VDC auxiliary power supply,
connect it through a line that is separated from hazardous live voltages using reinforced or
double insulation in accordance with approved safety standards.
• Before switching on the Eagle HV, verify that all safety precautions have been observed and
that the installation procedures in this manual have been followed.
• Do not clean any of the Eagle HV drive's soldering with solvent cleaning fluids of pH greater
than 7 (8 to 14). The solvent corrodes the plastic cover causing cracks and eventual damage
to the drive's PCBs.
Elmo recommends using the cleaning fluid Vigon-EFM which is pH Neutral (7).

Based on Elmo Motion Control’s innovative ExtrIQ core technology, they support a wide range
of motor feedback options, programming capabilities and communication protocols.
2.2. Drive Description
The Eagle HV series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the
highest density of power and intelligence. The Eagle HV delivers up to 65 kW of continuous power in a compact package.
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 Eagle HV 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’s Composer software tools. This Windowsbased application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for optimal use
with their motor. The Eagle HV, as part of the ExtrIQ product line, is fully programmable with
Elmo’s Composer motion control language.
13
Power to the drives is provided by a DC power source (not included with the Eagle HV).
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-model Eagle HV 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
from 18 to 30 VDC.
Whenever backup functionality is not required, Eagle HV models that do not have the S suffix in
the catalog number (only for the 400 V model -see page 19) can be used, i.e., they do not have
a 24 V control supply. In these models, a smart control-supply algorithm enables the Eagle HV
to operate with only the main power supply VP+ and VN-, with no need for a 24 VDC auxiliary
power supply for the logic.

3.5. Connecting the Cables
The Eagle HV has nine connectors.
3.5.1. Wiring the Eagle HV
Once the Eagle HV 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
Eagle HV.
Caution:
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.
23
• 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.
• 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.
3.5.2. Connection Diagrams
The various Eagle HV models connection diagrams differ from one another.
The following diagrams depict the two different possibilities for power supply connections:
• 400 V, 700 V, and 800 V S-models that feature power supply backup functionality, needing
an Aux. 24 V backup supply (The drive will not be operative, without having the external 24
VDC supply).
• 400 V model without power supply backup functionality (The drive’s internal DC/DC
converter is fed from the VP+ and VN- , of the internal drive's bus line).

Eagle HV Installation GuideInstallation
3.5.3.1. Connecting the Motor Cable
Connect the motor power cable to the M3, M2, M1 and the PE (motor chassis) terminals of the
motor connector (see diagram below). The phase connection order is arbitrary because the
Composer will establish the proper commutation automatically during setup. However, if you
are willing to avoid from tuning each drive separately, and you plan to copy this setup file to
other drives – then, the motor-phase order, on all copy drives, must be kept the same as in the
first drive.
Notes for connecting the motor cables:
• For best 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.
• 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 in the drive’s motor-connector.
• Be sure that the motor chassis is properly grounded.
• To close the motor cable into the drive, use the barrel connector, M6 spring washer and
M6 nut (in the drive). The required torque is 3 to 4 Nm.
29
• To close the PE wire into the drive, use the barrel connector, M6 flat washer, M6 spring
washer and M6 screw to the heat sink. The required torque is 3 to 4 Nm.

Page 30
MAN-EAG-HVIG (V er. 1.502)
Eagle HV Installation GuideInstallation
3.5.3.2. Connecting the DC Power
The DC power to the Eagle HV is delivered from a separated rectifying-unit (supplied by the
user). The following sections contain topology recommendations for implementing three-phase
and a single-phase supply chains.
The Power-stage of the Eagle HV is fully isolated from other sections of the Eagle HV, such as
the control-stage and the heat sink. This isolation allows the user to connect the common of
the control-section to the PE, a connection which significantly contributes to proper
functionality, safety and EMI immunity, leading to better performance of the Eagle HV.
In addition, this isolation simplifies the requirements of the DC power supply that is used to
power the DC bus of the Eagle HV, by allowing the operation with a non-isolated DC power
source, a direct-to-mains connection, eliminating the need for a bulky and expensive isolation
transformer.
However, the Eagle HV can operate from a non-isolated/direct-to-mains DC power supply, from
an isolated DC power supply, or from batteries.
When rectifying the AC voltage source, the AC voltage-level must be limited as follows:
30
Drive Model (V) AC voltage-level limit (VAC) DC Maximum (VDC)
400 270 390
700 477 680
800 528 747
3.5.3.3. Direct-to-Mains Power Source (Non-Isolated Rectifier)
This paragraph represents power supply and drive, which are directly connected to the mains.
Notes for connecting the non-isolated DC power supply:
• For best immunity, it is highly recommended to use twisted cables for the DC power supply
cable. A 3-wire shielded cable should be used. The gauge is determined by the actual
current consumption of the motor.
• Connect both ends of the cable shield to the closest PE connections.
• Tie one end to the power supply’s PE terminal, and tie the other end either to one of the
four mounting screws of the drive’s heat sink-PE.
• To close the power supply cable into the drive, use the barrel connector, M6 spring washer
and M6 nut (in the drive). The required torque is 3 to 4 Nm.
• To close the PE wire into the drive, use the barrel connector, M6 flat washer, M6 spring
washer and M6 screw to the heat sink. The required torque is
3 to 4 Nm.
The power supply is connected directly to the mains AC line.
32
Caution:
• Do not connect VN- to PE. In a direct-to-mains connection the VN- must
not be connected to the PE. Connecting the VN- to the PE will cause
irreparable damage to the system.
• Be careful and note that in a direct-to-mains connection the Neutral point is
not the most negative voltage level. It is the mid-point level of the rectified
DC bus.
3.5.3.3.c Multiple Connections Topology
In a multi-axis application it is likely that a single power supply can feed several drives in
parallel.
This topology is efficient and cost saving, by reducing the number of power supplies and the
amount of wiring. Most importantly it utilizes an energy sharing environment among all the
drives that share the same DC bus network.
The Power Supply is connected directly to the mains AC line and it feeds more than one drive.

In a non-S type Eagle HV drive (a drive without having the suffix S in its part number), a “smart”
control-supply algorithm enables the Eagle HV to operate with the main power supply only,
with no need for an auxiliary supply voltage for supplying the drive's logic section.
Note that in such model - there is no backup ability at all.
If backup functionality is required to store control parameters in the event of a mains power
outage, then an S-model Eagle HV should be used, with an external 24 VDC isolated supply
connected to it.
Note that the S type Eagle HV always requires an external 24 VDC power supply, regardless if
backup functionality in required or not.
Connect the Aux. 24 VDC power supply as described below.
Notes for 24 VDC backup supply connections:
• Use a 24 AWG twisted pair shielded cable. The shield should have copper braid.
• The source of the 24 VDC backup supply must be isolated, by using an isolation
transformer.
• For safety and EMI reasons, connect the return of the 24 VDC backup supply, to the closest
ground (PE).
• Connect the cable shield to the closest ground (PE) near the power source.
• Before applying power, first verify the correct polarity of the connection.
The Eagle HV features easy-to-use D-Sub type connections for all Control and Feedback cables.
Instructions and diagrams describing how to assemble those cables are presented below.
1. Use 24, 26 or 28 AWG twisted-pair shielded cables (24 AWG cable is recommended). For
best results, the shield should have aluminum foil covered by copper braid.
2. Use only a D-Sub connector with a metal housing.
3. Ideally, solder the drain wire to the connector body as shown in Figure 11.
However, the shield may also be attached without soldering, as long as the braid shield is in
tight contact with the metal housing of the D-type connector.
4. On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
5. On controller side connections, follow the controller manufacturer’s recommendations
concerning the shield.

3.5.6. Main Feedback Cable (Feedback A)
The main feedback cable is used to transfer feedback data from the motor to the drive.
The Eagle HV can accept any one the following devices as a main feedback mechanism:
• Incremental encoder only
• Incremental encoder with digital Hall sensors
• Digital Hall sensors only
• Interpolated Analog (Sine/Cosine) encoder (option)
• Resolver (option)
• Tachometer (option)
• Potentiometer (option)
• Absolute Encoder

3.5.10. Communication Cables
The communication cables use a 9-pin D-sub plug that connects to the RS-232 and a 9-pin
D-sub socket that connects to the CAN ports of the Eagle HV.
The communication interface may differ according to the user’s hardware. The Eagle HV can
communicate using the following options:
a. RS-232, full duplex
b. CAN
RS-232 communication requires a standard, commercial 3-core null-modem cable connected
from the Eagle HV to a serial interface on the PC. The interface is selected and set up in the
Composer software.
In order to benefit from CAN communication, the user must have an understanding of the basic
programming and timing issues of a CAN network.
The CAN interface is not isolated.
For ease of setup and diagnostics of CAN communication, RS-232 and CAN can be used
simultaneously.
61
3.5.10.1. RS-232 Communication
Notes for connecting the RS-232 communication cable:
• Use a 26 or 28 AWG twisted pair shielded cable. The shield should have aluminum foil
covered by copper braid with a drain wire.
• 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 D-sub plug must have a shield cover.
• Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the D-sub plug. The drain
wire can be used to facilitate the connection.

3.6. Powering Up
After the Eagle HV has been mounted, check that the cables are intact.
The Eagle HV servo drive is then ready to be powered up.
Caution:
Before applying power, ensure that the DC supply is within the range specified
for your specific type of Eagle HV and that the proper plus-minus connections
are in order.
3.7. Heat Dissipation
For full power output capability the Eagle HV is designed to be mounted on an external
heatsink. It is highly recommended that the “Wall” on which the Eagle HV is mounted will have
heat dissipation capabilities. The Eagle HV at “free air convection” (without an additional
heatsink) can dissipate around 12 W for 40 °C ambient temperature and not exceeding 80 °C
on the heat sink.
When “Free Air Convection” is sufficient for the application it is recommended to leave
approximately 10 mm of space between the Eagle HV's heat sink and any other assembly.
64
3.7.1. Eagle HV Thermal Data
• Free air convection thermal resistance (θ): Approximately 7 to 8°C/W.
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 40 minutes/ 2400 seconds (thermal time constant
means that the Eagle HV will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 4 minutes).
• Self-heat dissipation capability (no external heat sink): 20 W for 40°C/W temperature rise.
• Shut-off temperature: 86 to 88°C (measured on the heat sink).
• The thermal resistance when connecting to an external heat sink using a thermal
conductive compound/foil. By proper smearing of the surface a significant improvement of
the thermal resistance is achieved: 0.06°C/W.

3.7.3. How to Use the Charts
The power dissipation in the chart includes the losses of the rectifying bridge.
Regarding Figure 29 and Figure 30, the following should be noted:
560 3X400
680 3X480
330 3X230
The charts above are based upon theoretical worst-case conditions. Actual test results show
30% to 50% better power dissipation.
To determine if your application needs a heat sink:
1. Allow maximum heat sink temperature to be 80 °C or less (shunt down is 6 °C to 8 °C
higher).
2. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the Eagle HV as
≤ 40 °C.
66
3. Calculate the allowable temperature increase according to the following example: For an
ambient temperature of 40 °C, ΔT = 80 to 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.
3.8. Initializing the System
After the Eagle HV 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.

power.
Note on current ratings: The current ratings of the Eagle HV are given in units of DC
amperes (ratings that are used for trapezoidal commutation or DC motors). The RMS
(sinusoidal commutation) value is the DC value divided by 1.41.
The Eagle HV can receive and process feedback input from diverse types of devices.
