Chapter 1: Safety Information
Solo Hornet Installation Guide
In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Solo Hornet servo drive, it is imperative
that you implement the safety procedures included in this installation guide. This information is
provided to protect you and to keep your work area safe when operating the Solo Hornet as
well as the accompanying equipment.
Please read this chapter carefully before you begin the installation process.
Before you start, ensure that all system components are connected to earth ground. Electrical
safety is provided through a low-resistance earth connection.
Only qualified personnel may install, adjust, maintain, and repair the servo drive. A qualified
person has the knowledge and authorization to perform tasks such as transporting, assembling,
installing, commissioning, and operating motors.
The Solo Hornet servo drive contains electrostatic-sensitive components that can be damaged
if handled incorrectly. To prevent any electrostatic damage, avoid contact with highly insulating
materials, such as plastic film and synthetic fabrics. Place the product on a conductive surface
and ground yourself in order to discharge any possible static electricity build-up.
7
To avoid any potential hazards that may cause severe personal injury or damage to the product
during operation, keep all covers and cabinet doors shut.
The following safety symbols are used in this manual:
Warning:
This information is needed to avoid a safety hazard, which might cause bodily
injury.
Caution:
This information is necessary for preventing damage to the product or to
other equipment.

Solo Hornet 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.
• Power cables can carry a high voltage, even when the motor is not in motion.
Disconnect the Solo Hornet from all voltage sources before it is opened for servicing.
• The Solo Hornet 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). Measuring the
electrical contact points with a meter, before touching the equipment, is
recommended.
1.2. Cautions
• The Solo Hornet servo drive contains hot surfaces and electrically-charged components
during operation.
8
• The maximum DC power supply connected to the instrument must comply with the
parameters outlined in this guide.
• When connecting the Solo Hornet to an approved 11 to 95 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 Solo Hornet, 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 Solo Hornet 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).

Chapter 2: Introduction
Solo Hornet Installation Guide
The Solo Hornet is an integrated solution designed to simply and efficiently connect Elmo’s
Hornet servo drive directly to the application. The solution consists of the Hornet together with
a convenient connection interface which either eliminates or reduces development time and
resources when designing an application’s PCB board.
This installation guide describes the Solo Hornet servo drive and the steps for its wiring,
installation and power-up. Following these guidelines ensures maximum functionality of the
drive and the systems to which it is connected.
2.1. Drive Description
The Solo Hornet series of digital servo drives is designed to deliver “the highest density of
power and intelligence”. The Solo Hornet is a lightweight and highly compact solution which
can be used whenever reduced size and weight are essential to the application. The Solo
Hornet delivers up to 1600 W of continuous power or 3200 W of peak power in a
72.87 cm3/4.41 in³ (59 x 24.7 x 50 mm or 2.32" x 0.97" x 1.96") package.
10
The Solo Hornet drive 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 Solo Hornet
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 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 Solo Hornet, as part of the ExtrIQ product line, is fully programmable with
Elmo’s Composer motion control language.
Power to the drive is provided by an 11 to 95 VDC isolated DC power source (not included with
the Solo Hornet). A “smart” control-supply algorithm enables the Solo Hornet 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 11 to 95 VDC isolated supply should be connected via the +VL, providing maximum
flexibility and backup functionality when needed.
Note: This backup functionality can operate from any voltage source within the 11 to 95
VDC range. This is much more flexible than to be restricted by only using a standard 24 VDC
power supply.
If backup power is not required, 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.

Chapter 4: Installation
Solo Hornet Installation Guide Installation
The Solo Hornet must be installed in a suitable environment and properly connected to its
voltage supplies and the motor.
4.1. Site Requirements
You can guarantee the safe operation of the Solo Hornet drive by ensuring that it is installed in
an appropriate environment.
Feature Value
Ambient operating temperature -40 °C to +70 °C (-40 °F to 160 °F)
Maximum operating altitude 12,000 m (39370 feet)
Maximum non-condensing humidity 95%

Caution: The Solo Hornet drive dissipates heat by convection. The maximum
operating ambient temperature of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104° F) must not be
exceeded.
4.2. Unpacking the Drive
Before you begin working with the Solo Hornet, verify that you have all of the components, as
follows:
• The Solo Hornet servo drive
• The Composer software and software manual
The Solo Hornet is shipped in a cardboard box with Styrofoam protection.
To unpack the Solo Hornet:
1. Carefully remove the servo drive from the box and the Styrofoam.
2. Check the drive to ensure that there is no visible damage to the instrument. If any damage
has occurred, report it immediately to the carrier that delivered your drive.

Solo Hornet Installation GuideInstallation
4.4.1. Connecting Main Power
Power to the Solo Hornet is provided by an 11 to 95 VDC source. A smart control-supply
algorithm enables the Solo Hornet 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
additional backup supply can be connected by implementing "diode coupling" to the VL+.
Note: The source of the 11 to 95 VDC Main Power Supply must be isolated.

4.5.1. Connecting Motor Power
Connect the M1, M2, M3 and PE pins on the Solo Hornet. The phase connection is arbitrary as
the Composer will establish the proper commutation automatically during setup. However, if
you plan to copy the setup to other drives, then the phase order on all copy drives must be the
same.
