Chapter 2: Product Description

Gold Solo Trombone Installation G uide Product Description
This installation guide describes the Gold Solo Trombone servo drive and the steps for its wiring, installation and power-up. Following these guidelines ensures optimal performance of the drive and the system to which it is connected.

2.1. Drive Description

The Gold Solo Trombone series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the highest density of power and intelligence. The Gold Solo 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 permanent­magnet 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 Solo 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.
12
The drives are easily set up and tuned using Elmo Application Studio software tools. This Windows-based application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for optimal use with their motor. The Gold Solo 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 Solo 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 S, T or AP-model Gold Solo 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 18–30 VDC.
Whenever backup functionality is not required, Gold Solo Trombone models that have the 0 or 1 suffix in the catalog number (see page 23) 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 Solo 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 Solo Trombone is a stand-alone version of the Gold Trombone module (PCB­mounted). Another pluggable version, the Gold DC Trombone is also available.

4.3.3. Indicators

The Gold Solo Trombone is equipped with several light-emitting diode (LED) indicators.
4.3.3.1. Drive Status Indicator
This 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).
4.3.3.2. EtherCAT Link Indicators
The Gold Solo Trombone can serve as an EtherCAT slave device. For this purpose it has two RJ­45 connectors, which are designated as EtherCAT In and EtherCAT Out. Each of these RJ-45 connectors has two status LEDs, which are shown in Figure 2.
38
Figure 2: Ethernet Connector LEDs
The green LED is the link/activity indicator. It shows the state of the applicable physical link and the activity on that link.
The amber LED is the speed indicator. It shows the speed of the connection on the Ethernet line.
The possible states of these LEDs are summarized in Table 12.
LED State Meaning
Link /Activity Off No link is established.
On A link is established.
Blinking There is data transmission activity.
Speed On The connection speed is 100 Mbps.
The speed of the EtherCAT line must be 100 Mbps. Otherwise, there is no EtherCAT data transmission.
Off The connection speed is 10 Mbps.
Table 12: LED States
4.3.3.3. EtherCAT Status Indicator
The EtherCAT status indicator is a red/green dual LED. It combines run indication (when it is green) and error indication (when it is red) of the EtherCAT device.

4.4. Mounting the Gold Solo Trombone

The Gold Solo Trombone was designed for mounting on a surface. When integrating the Gold Solo Trombone into a device, be sure to leave about 1 cm (0.4") outward from the heatsink to enable free air convection around the drive. If the Gold Solo Trombone is enclosed in a metal chassis, we recommend that the Gold Solo Trombone be screw-mounted to it to help with heat dissipation. The Gold Solo Trombone has screw-mount holes on each corner of the heatsink for this purpose – see below.
39
Figure 3: Mounting the Gold Solo Trombone

4.5. Wiring the Gold Solo Trombone

Once the Gold Solo Trombone 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 Gold Solo Trombone.
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.
www.elmomc.com
MAN-G-SOLTROIG (Ver. 1.3)
Gold Solo Tromb on e Installation Guide Installation
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.

4.6. Connection Diagrams

40
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, T, or AP-models (the catalog number has an S, T, or AP 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 with 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.

Table 13: Motor Connector
Connect the M1, M2, M3 and PE pins on the Gold Solo Trombone. The phase connection is arbitrary as Elmo Application Studio (EAS) 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.
Notes:
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.
Connect the cable shield to the closest PE terminal of the Gold Solo Trombone.

47
Table 14: Connectors for Main Power
The DC power for the Gold Solo Trombone 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 Gold Solo Trombone is fully isolated from the other sections of the Gold Solo 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 Solo Trombone.
In addition, this isolation simplifies the requirements of the DC power supply that is used to power the DC bus of the Gold Solo 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 Solo 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.

4.7.2.1. Direct-to-Mains Power Source (Non-Isolated Rectifier)
This section relates to the configuration of the power supply and drive, which are connected directly 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 the PE pins
of the module/PE terminal of the integration board, or attach it to one of the four mounting screws of the drive’s heat sink.

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.

Caution: When using batteries, it is recommended to connect the negative pole to the PE.
When doing so, the charger of the battery transformer.
must be isolated from the mains by an isolation

4.7.3. Control and Backup Supply

In drives that have 0 or 1 suffix in the catalog number, a smart control-supply algorithm enables the Gold Solo 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 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, T, or AP model Gold Solo Trombone should be used, with an external 24 VDC isolated supply connected to it.
Note that the S, T, or AP model Gold Solo 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.
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 with 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 that the polarity of the connection is correct.

4.8. STO (Safe Torque Off) Inputs

Activation of Safe Torque Off causes the drive to stop providing power that can cause rotation (or motion in the case of a linear motor) to the motor.
This function may be used to prevent unexpected motor rotation (of brushless DC motors) without disconnecting the drive from the power supply.
The motor is active only as long as 24 VDC (or 5 V for the TTL option) is provided to both STO1 and STO2. Whenever any input voltage is no longer present, power is not provided to the motor and the motor shaft continues to rotate to an uncontrolled stop.
In circumstances where external influences (for example, falling of suspended loads) are present, additional measures such as mechanical brakes are necessary to prevent any hazard.
This function corresponds to an uncontrolled stop in accordance with Stop Category 0 of IEC 60204-1.
Note: This function does not protect against electrical shock, and additional measures to turn
the power off are necessary.

4.12. Power Up

After the Gold Solo Trombone is connected to its peripheral devices, it is ready to be powered up.
Caution: Before applying power, ensure that
1. The DC supply is within the specified range.
2. The proper plus-minus connections are in order.
3. The VN- is not connected to the PE, when working with a non-isolated power supply.

4.12.1. Initializing the System

After the Gold Solo Trombone has been connected and mounted, the system must be set up and initialized. This is accomplished using the Elmo Application Studio, Elmo’s Windows-based software application. Install the application and then perform setup and initialization according to the directions in the Elmo Application Studio User’s Manual.

4.13. Heat Dissipation

87
The best way to dissipate heat from the Gold Solo Trombone is to mount it so that its heatsink faces up. For best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Gold Solo Trombone‘s heatsink and any other assembly.

4.13.1. Gold Solo Trombone Thermal Data

Heat dissipation capability (θ): Approximately 5.5 °C/W
Thermal time constant: Approximately 600 seconds (thermal time constant means that the
Gold Solo Trombone will reach two thirds of its final temperature after 10 minutes)
Shut-off temperature: 86 °C to 88 °C (measured on the heatsink)

4.13.3. How to Use the Charts

The power dissipation in the chart includes the losses of the rectifying bridge. Regarding Figure 37 and Figure 38, 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).
89
2. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the Gold Solo Trombone as ≤ 40 °C.
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.
