Chapter 1: This Installation Guide ..................................................................................... 6
This installation Guide details the technical data, pinouts, and power connectivity of the Gold
Panther. For a comprehensive detailed description of the functions and connections of the drive,
refer to the MAN-G-Drive Hardware manual, and especially the sections in Chapter 7 which describe
PCB Mounted products.
The Gold Panther series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the
highest density of power and intelligence. The Gold Panther 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 Panther 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 Application Studio software tools. This Windowsbased application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for optimal use with
their motor. The Gold Panther, 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 Panther).
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 or T-model Gold Panther 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 Panther models that have 0 or 1 suffix (only for
400V models) in the catalog number (see page 9) 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 Panther 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 Panther is a PCB-mounted device which enables efficient and cost-effective
implementation. However, stand-alone integrated products (the Gold DC Trombone and Gold Solo
Trombone) are also available, using pluggable connections.

Chapter 4: Installation
MAN-G-PANIG -EC (Ver. 1.000)
The Gold Panther must be installed in a suitable environment and properly connected to its voltage
supplies and the motor.
4.1. Unpacking the Drive Components
Before you begin working with the Gold Panther, verify that you have all of its components, as
follows:
• The Gold Panther servo drive
• The Elmo Application Studio (EAS) software and software manual
The Gold Panther is shipped in a cardboard box with Styrofoam protection.
To unpack the Gold Panther:
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.
3. To ensure that the Gold Panther you have unpacked is the appropriate type for your
requirements, locate the part number sticker on the side of the Gold Panther. It looks like
this:
9
4. Verify that the Gold Panther type is the one that you ordered, and ensure that the voltage
meets your specific requirements.
The part number at the top provides the type designation. Refer to the appropriate part
number in the section Catalog Number at the beginning of the installation guide.

Note regarding the EtherCAT and CAN communication options:
The J2 Connector exports all supported communication links. However, note that CAN and
EtherCAT are not available in the same version of the Gold Panther and are thus not operational
simultaneously. See the part number diagram in Section 4.1 above for the different Gold Panther
configurations.

4.3. Mounting the Gold Panther
The Gold Panther is designed for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB). It is connected by
1.27 mm pitch 0.41 mm square pins and 2.54 mm pitch 0.64 mm square pins. When integrating the
Gold Panther into a PCB, be sure to leave about 1 cm (0.4") outward from the heat-sink to enable
free convection of the air around the Gold Panther. We recommend that the Gold Panther be
soldered directly to the board. Alternatively, though this is not recommended, the Gold Panther can
be attached to socket connectors mounted on the PCB. However, if the PCB is enclosed in a metal
chassis, we recommend that the Gold Panther be screw-mounted to it as well to help with heat
dissipation. The Gold Panther has screw-mount holes on each corner of the heat-sink for this
purpose.

4.4. Integrating the Gold Panther on a PCB
The Gold Panther is designed to be mounted on a PCB, either by soldering its pins directly to the
PCB. Refer to the Gold Line Trombone Design Guide MAN-G-TROIDG for further information.
4.5. Connection Diagrams
There are two connection diagrams for EtherCAT and two for CAN that show the two different ways
of connecting the power supply:
• 400 V and 800 V S or T -models (the catalog number has an S or T suffix) that feature backup
functionality and require an auxiliary 24 V backup supply. The drive will not be operative
without the external 24 VDC supply.
• 400 V model without backup functionality (0 or 1 suffix). The drive’s internal DC/DC converter is
fed from the VP+ and VN- of the internal drive’s bus line.
