Product Description
MAN-G-DCTROI G-EC (Ver. 1.900)
8
The Gold DC Trombone series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the
highest density of power and intelligence. The Gold DC Trombone 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 DC
Trombone can operate as a stand-alone device or as part of a multi-axis system in a distributed
configuration on a real-time network.
based application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for optimal use with
their motor. The Gold DC Trombone, 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 DC Trombone).
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 A, H, S, or T optional Gold DC Trombone 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 DC Trombone models with the 0 or 1 Option
(only for 400 V models) in the catalog number (section Catalog Number) 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
DC Trombone 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 DC Trombone is a stand-alone version of the Gold Trombone module (PCB-mounted).
Another pluggable version, the Gold Solo Trombone is also available.

6.1 Basic Recommendations
6.1.1 General
1. Use shielded cables. For best results, the cable should have an aluminum foil shield covered
by copper braid, and should contain a drain wire.
Use 24, 26 or 28 AWG twisted-pair shielded with drain wire cables.
2. Keep the cable as short as possible.
Do not mount the power cables of the motor and power bus in the proximity of the control
and feedback cables.
3. Ensure that in normal operating conditions, the “earth connection” wires and shield of the
control cables 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 might result in
drive/controller/host failure.
24
4. After completing the wiring, carefully inspect all wires to ensure tightness, good solder of
joints and general safety.
Figure 8: D-Type Cable Assemblies
5. Use only a D-Sub connector with a metal housing (Figure 8).
6. Make sure the braid shield is in tight contact with the metal housing of the D-type
connector (Figure 8).

6.1.2 Feedback Cable Port A and Port B Connector
1. On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
2. At least One COMRET (Common Return) must be connected to the PE.
Implement the following steps to connect the COMRET to the PE:
a. At the drive, connect the feedback drain wire to one of the COMRET terminals in the
D-Type feedback connector (Figure 9).
b. At the motor, connect the feedback cable drain wire to the GND motor chassis
terminal of the feedback connector.
The drawings below display two earth connections.

To power the drive, connect the M1, M2, M3, and PE pins on the Gold DC Trombone. The phase
connection is arbitrary as Elmo Application Studio II (EAS II) will establish the proper commutation
automatically during setup. When tuning a number of drives, you can copy the setup file to the
other drives and thus avoid tuning each drive separately. In this case the motor-phase order must
be the same as on the first drive.
•For best immunity, it is highly recommended to use a 4-wire shielded (not twisted) cable for
the motor connection. The gauge is determined by the actual current consumption of the
motor.
• Connect the cable shield to the closest ground connection at the motor end.
• For better EMI performance, the shield should be connected to Protective Earth (PE
terminal).
•Ensure that the motor chassis is properly grounded.

Table 3: Connectors for Main Power
The DC power for the Gold DC Trombone is delivered from a separated rectifying unit (supplied by
the user). Elmo recommends using the Tambourine rectifier specifically designed for use with Elmo
drives which offers a range of versatile options.
The following sections contain topology recommendations for implementing three-phase and a
single-phase supply chains.
The power stage of the Gold DC Trombone is fully isolated from the other sections of the Gold DC
Trombone, 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 Gold DC
Trombone.
In addition, this isolation simplifies the requirements of the DC power supply that is used to power
the DC bus of the Gold DC Trombone, by allowing it to operate with a non-isolated DC power source
(a direct-to-mains connection) which eliminates the need for a bulky and expensive isolation
transformer.
However, as well as operating from a non-isolated/direct-to-mains DC power supply, the Gold DC
Trombone can also operate from an isolated power supply or batteries.
When rectifying an AC voltage source, the AC voltage level must be limited to 270 VAC so as not to
exceed the maximum 390 VDC in the case of a 400 VDC drive, or 528 VAC so as not to exceed the
maximum 747 VDC in the case of an 800 VDC drive.

MAN-G-DCTROI G-EC (Ver. 1.900)
6.3.1 Direct-to-Mains Power Source (Non-Isolated Rectifier)
This section relates to the configuration of the drive, which is connected directly to the mains.
To connect the non-isolated AC power supply:
1. For best noise immunity, a shielded (not twisted) cable is recommended (not mandatory) for
the DC input cable.
2. A 3-wire shielded cable should be used:
a. Connect the main input cable to the VP+ and VN- terminals of the main input connector.
b. For safety requirements, the green/yellow-wire must be connected to the protective earth
(PE terminal). Connect the Protective Earth wire to the PE terminal on the main DC
connector.
c. For better EMI performance, the shield should be connected to Protective Earth (PE).
3. The gauge of the cable strands is determined by the actual current of the drive.
31
Caution For all the following Topologies:
•Do not connect VN- to PE. In a direct-to-mains connection the VN- must no t be
connected to the PE, as this will cause irreparable damage to the system.
• Take care 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.
The Power Supply is connected directly to the mains AC line.

6.3.4 Multiple Connections Topology
In a multi-axis application it is likely that a single power supply can feed several drives in parallel.
The power supply is connected directly to the mains AC line and it feeds more than one drive.
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.
Caution: When using batteries, it is recommended to connect the negative pole
to the PE.
When doing so, the charger of the battery must be isolated from the mains by
an isolation transformer.

In drives that have a 0 or 1 Option (only for 400 V model) in the catalog number, a smart controlsupply algorithm enables the Gold DC Trombone to operate with the main power supply only, with no need for an auxiliary supply voltage to supply the drive’s logic section.
Note that in such a 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 A, H, S, or T options Gold DC Trombone should be used, with an external 24 VDC
isolated supply connected to it.
Note that the A, H, S, or T options Gold DC Trombone always requires an external 24 VDC power
supply, regardless of whether or not backup functionality is required.
Connect the auxiliary 24 VDC power supply as described below.
To connect the 24 VDC backup supply:
1. Use a 24 AWG twisted pair shielded cable. The shield should have copper braid.
2. The source of the 24VDC backup supply must be isolated with an isolation transformer.
3. For safety and EMI reasons, connect the return of the 24VDC backup supply to the closest
ground (PE).
4. Connect the cable shield to the closest ground (PE) near the power source.
5. Before applying power, first verify that the polarity of the connection is correct.
The following figure describes the connections at the I/O Port for the Digital Input and Output Sink
Mode.

The red/green dual LED is used for immediate indication of the following states:
•Initiation state: In this state the LED indicates whether the drive is in the boot state (blinking
red) or in the operational state (steady red).
•Working state: In this state the LED indicates whether the drive is in an amplifier failure state
(red) or is ready to enable the motor (green).
