Chapter 2: Product Description
Drum HV (High Voltage) Installation Guide
This installation guide describes the Drum HV (High Voltage) 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 Drum HV (High Voltage) series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to
deliver the highest density of power and intelligence. The Drum HV (High Voltage) delivers up
to 65 kW of continuous power in a compact package.
The digital drives are based on Elmo’s advanced SimplIQ 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 Drum HV (High Voltage) can operate as a stand-alone
device or as part of a multi-axis system in a distributed configuration on a real-time network.
11
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 Drum HV (High Voltage), as part of the SimplIQ product line, is fully
programmable with Elmo’s Metronome motion control language.
Power to the drives is provided by a DC power source (not included with the Drum HV (High
Voltage)).
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 Drum HV (High Voltage) 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, Drum HV (High Voltage) models that do not
have the S suffix in the catalog number (only for the 400 V model -see page 18) can be used,
i.e., they do not have a 24 V control supply. In these models, a smart control-supply algorithm
enables the Drum HV (High Voltage) to operate with only the main power supply VP+ and VN-,
with no need for a 24 VDC auxiliary power supply for the logic.
In order to install and operate the Drum HV (High Voltage) servo drive, you will use this manual
in conjunction with a set of Elmo documentation. Installation is your first step; after carefully
reading the safety instructions in the first chapter, the following chapters provide you with
installation instructions as follows:
connecting and powering up the Drum HV (High Voltage).
• Chapter 4 -Technical Specifications, lists all the drive ratings and specifications.
Upon completing the instructions in this guide, the Drum HV (High Voltage) servo drive should
be successfully mounted and installed. From this stage, you need to consult higher level Elmo
documentation in order to set up and fine-tune the system for optimal operation:
• The SimplIQ Software Manual, which describes the comprehensive software used with the
Drum HV (High Voltage)
• The SimplIQ Command Reference Manual, which describes, in detail, each software
command used to manipulate the Drum HV (High Voltage) motion controller

Chapter 3: Installation
Drum HV (High Voltage) Installation Guide
The Drum HV (High Voltage) must be installed in a suitable environment and properly
connected to its voltage supplies and the motor.
3.1. Before You Begin
3.1.1. Site Requirements
You can guarantee the safe operation of the Drum HV (High Voltage) by ensuring that it is
installed in an appropriate environment.
Feature Value
16
Ambient operating temperature
Maximum operating altitude 2,000 m (6562 feet)
Maximum non-condensing humidity 90%
Operating area atmosphere No flammable gases or vapors permitted in area
Models for extended environmental conditions are available.
Caution:
The Drum HV (High Voltage) dissipates its heat by natural convection. The
maximum ambient operating temperature of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F)
must not be exceeded.
Once the Drum HV (High Voltage) 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 Drum HV (High Voltage).
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.
22
• 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
