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.
• Disconnect the Drum HV (High Voltage) from all voltage sources before it is opened for
servicing.
• The Drum HV (High Voltage) 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). It is recommended to
measure the electrical contact points with a meter before touching the equipment.
1.2. Cautions
• The Drum HV (High Voltage) servo drive contains hot surfaces and electrically-charged
components during operation.
9
• The maximum DC power supply connected to the instrument must comply with the

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
15
• The Composer Software Manual, which includes explanations of all the software tools that
are part of Elmo’s Composer software environment

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
Connect the motor power cable to the M3, M2, M1 and the PE (motor chassis) terminals of the
motor connector (see diagram below). The phase connection order is arbitrary because the
Composer will establish the proper commutation automatically during setup. However, if you
are willing to avoid from tuning each drive separately, and you plan to copy this setup file to
other drives – then, the motor-phase order, on all copy drives, must be kept the same as in the
first drive.
Notes for connecting the motor cables:
• For best immunity, it is highly recommended to use a shielded (not twisted) cable for the
motor connection. A 4-wire shielded cable should be used. The gauge is determined by the
actual current consumption of the motor.
• Connect the shield of the cable to the closest ground connection at the motor end.
• Connect the shield of the cable to the PE terminal in the drive’s motor-connector.
• Be sure that the motor chassis is properly grounded.
• To close the motor cable into the drive, use the barrel connector, M6 spring washer and
M6 nut (in the drive). The required torque is 3 to 4 Nm.
29
• To close the PE wire into the drive, use the barrel connector, M6 flat washer, M6 spring
washer and M6 screw to the heat sink. The required torque is 3 to 4 Nm.
The DC power to the Drum HV (High Voltage) is delivered from a separated rectifying-unit
(supplied by the user). Following are topology recommendations, of how to implement a 3x
phases and a supply chain.
The Power-stage of the Drum HV (High Voltage) is fully isolated from other sections of the
Drum HV (High Voltage), 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 Drum HV (High Voltage).
In addition, this isolation simplifies the requirements of the DC power supply that is used to
power the DC bus of the Drum HV (High Voltage), by allowing the operation with a non-isolated
DC power source, a direct-to-mains connection, eliminating the need in a bulky and expensive
isolation transformer.
However, the Drum HV (High Voltage) can operate from either non-isolated/direct-to-mains DC
power supply, or isolated DC power supply / batteries.
When rectifying the AC voltage source, the AC voltage-level must be limited to 270 VAC not to
exceed the max 390 VDC in the case of a 400 VDC drive, or limited to 528 VAC not to exceed
the max 747 VDC in the case of an 800 VDC drive.
30
3.5.3.3. 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.
To connect the non-isolated DC power supply:
1. 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.
2. Connect both ends of the cable shield to the closest PE connections.
3. Tie one end to the power supply’s PE terminal, and tie the other end either to one of the
four mounting screws of the drive’s heat sink-PE.
4. To close the power supply cable into the drive, use the barrel connector, M6 spring washer
and M6 nut (in the drive). The required torque is 3 to 4 Nm.
5. To close the PE wire into the drive, use the barrel connector, M6 flat washer, M6 spring
washer and M6 screw to the heat sink. The required torque is 3 to 4 Nm.
• Do not connect VN- to PE. In a direct-to-mains connection the VN- must
not be connected to the PE. Connecting the VN- to the PE will cause
irreparable damage to the system.
• Be careful 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.
3.5.3.3.b Multiple Connections Topology
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.
When using batteries, it is recommended to connect the negative pole to the
PE.
When doing so, the charger of the battery
an isolation transformer.
33
Figure 8: Battery Connection Topology
must be isolated from the mains by
3.5.4. Connecting the Control and Backup Supply (24 V)
In a non-S type Drum HV (High Voltage) drive (a drive without having the suffix S in its part
number), a “smart” control-supply algorithm enables the Drum HV (High Voltage) to operate
with the main power supply only, with no need for an auxiliary supply voltage for supplying 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-model Drum HV (High Voltage) should be used, with an external 24 VDC
isolated supply connected to it.
Note that the S type Drum HV (High Voltage) always requires an external 24 VDC power supply,
regardless if backup functionality in required or not.
Connect the Aux. 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, by using 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 the correct polarity of the connection.
The Drum HV (High Voltage) features easy-to-use D-Sub type connections for all Control and
Feedback cables. Instructions and diagrams describing how to assemble those cables are
presented below.
6. Use 24, 26 or 28 AWG twisted-pair shielded cables (24 AWG cable is recommended). For
best results, the shield should have aluminum foil covered by copper braid.
7. Use only a D-Sub connector with a metal housing.
8. Ideally, solder the drain wire to the connector body as shown in Figure 10.
However, the shield may also be attached without soldering, as long as the braid shield is in
tight contact with the metal housing of the D-type connector.
9. On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
10. On controller side connections, follow the controller manufacturer’s recommendations
Note: All D-Sub type connectors, used with the Drum HV (High Voltage), should be assembled
in this way.
3.5.6. Main Feedback Cable (FEEDBACK A)
The main feedback cable is used to transfer feedback data from the motor to the drive.
The Drum HV (High Voltage) can accept any one the following devices as a main feedback
mechanism:
• Incremental encoder only

• Digital Hall sensors only
• Interpolated Analog (Sine/Cosine) encoder (option)
• Resolver (option)
• Tachometer (option)
• Potentiometer (option)

the Main Feedback cable from the motor to FEEDBACK A using a 15-pin, D-Sub plug with a
metal housing. When assembling the Main Feedback cable, follow the instructions in Section
The Main Feedback is always used in motion control devices, whereas the Auxiliary Feedback is
often, but not always used. The Auxiliary Feedback connector on the Drum HV (High Voltage),
Feedback B, has two ports, Port B1 and Port B2. When used in combination with the Main

The communication cables use a 9-pin D-sub plug that connects to the RS-232 and a 9-pin
D-sub socket that connects to the CAN ports of the Drum HV (High Voltage).
The communication interface may differ according to the user’s hardware. The Drum HV (High
Voltage) can communicate using the following options:
a. RS-232, full duplex
b. CAN
RS-232 communication requires a standard, commercial 3-core null-modem cable connected
from the Drum HV (High Voltage) to a serial interface on the PC. The interface is selected and
set up in the Composer software.
In order to benefit from CAN communication, the user must have an understanding of the basic
programming and timing issues of a CAN network.
The CAN interface is not isolated.
For ease of setup and diagnostics of CAN communication, RS-232 and CAN can be used
simultaneously.
60
3.5.10.1. RS-232 Communication
Notes for connecting the RS-232 communication cable:
• Use a 26 or 28 AWG twisted pair shielded cable. The shield should have aluminum foil
covered by copper braid with a drain wire.
• Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC). Usually, this connection is soldered
internally inside the connector at the PC end. You can use the drain wire to facilitate
connection.
• The D-sub plug must have a shield cover.
• Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the D-sub plug. The drain
After the Drum HV (High Voltage) has been mounted, check that the cables are intact.
The Drum HV (High Voltage) servo drive is then ready to be powered up.
Caution:
Before applying power, ensure that the DC supply is within the range specified
for your specific type of Drum HV (High Voltage) and that the proper plusminus connections are in order.
3.7. Heat Dissipation
For full power output capability the Drum is designed to be mounted on an external heatsink. It
is highly recommended that the “Wall” on which the Drum is mounted will have heat
dissipation capabilities. The Drum at “free air convection” (without an additional heatsink) can
dissipate around 12 W for 40 °C ambient temperature and not exceeding 80 °C on the heat
sink.
When “Free Air Convection” is sufficient for the application it is recommended to leave
approximately 10 mm of space between the Drum's heat sink and any other assembly.
63
3.7.1. Drum HV Thermal Data
• Free air convection thermal resistance (θ): Approximately 7 to 8°C/W.
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 40 minutes/ 2400 seconds (thermal time constant
means that the Drum will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 40 minutes).
• Self-heat dissipation capability (no external heat sink): 20 W for 40°C/W temperature rise.
• Shut-off temperature: 86 to 88°C (measured on the heat sink).
• The thermal resistance when connecting to an external heat sink using a thermal
conductive compound/foil. By proper smearing of the surface a significant improvement of
The power dissipation in the chart includes the losses of the rectifying bridge.
Regarding Figure 28 and Figure 29, 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).
2. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the Drum HV (High Voltage) as ≤ 40 °C.
65
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.
3.8. Initializing the System
After the Drum HV (High Voltage) has been connected and mounted, the system must be set
up and initialized. This is accomplished using the Composer, Elmo’s Windows-based software
application. Install the application and then perform setup and initialization according to the
directions in the ComposerSoftware Manual.

24 V control supply. If there is no S suffix, the control power supply operates from the main
power.
Note on current ratings: The current ratings of the Drum HV (High Voltage) are given in
units of DC amperes (ratings that are used for trapezoidal commutation or DC motors). The
RMS (sinusoidal commutation) value is the DC value divided by 1.41.
The Drum HV (High Voltage) can receive and process feedback input from diverse types of
devices.
