DC Trombone Installation Guide Safety Information

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 DC Trombone from all voltage sources before it is opened for servicing.
The DC Trombone 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 DC Trombone 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
parameters outlined in this guide.
When connecting to DC Trombone to an approved isolated 24 VDC auxiliary power supply,
connect it through a line that is separated from hazardous live voltages using reinforced or double insulation in accordance with approved safety standards.
Before switching on the DC Trombone, verify that all safety precautions have been
observed and that the installation procedures in this manual have been followed.
Do not clean any of the DC Trombone drive's soldering with solvent cleaning fluids of pH

Chapter 2: Product Description

DC Trombone Installation Guide
This installation guide describes the DC 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 DC Trombone series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the highest density of power and intelligence. The DC Trombone delivers up to 10 kW of continuous power or 16 kW of peak 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 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.
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 DC Trombone, as part of the SimplIQ product line, is fully programmable with Elmo’s Composer motion control language.
Power to the drives is provided by a DC power source (not included with the DC Trombone). Elmo recommends using the Elmo Tambourine Power Supply, which is ideally suited to the Trombone, DC Trombone, and 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-model 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, DC Trombone models that do not have the S option in the catalog number (only for 400 V model) can be used. In these models, a smart control-supply algorithm enables the 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 DC Trombone is available in two versions:
The Standard DC Trombone is a basic servo drive, which operates in current, velocity and
position modes including Follower and PT & PVT. It operates simultaneously via RS-232 and CAN DS 301, DS 305, DS 402 communications and features a third-generation programming environment. (The catalog number begins DC-TRO but is not followed by an A.)
www.elmomc.com
MAN-DCTROIG (V er. 1.601)
DC Trombone Installation Guide Product Description
The Advanced DC Trombone includes all the motion capabilities and communication
options included in the Standard model, as well as advanced positioning capabilities: ECAM, Dual Loop and increased program size. (The catalog number starts DC-TROA.)
Both versions operate with RS-232 and CAN communication.

Caution: Perform the following instructions to ensure safe and proper wiring.
1. 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.
23
2. 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.
3. Keep all wires and cables as short as possible.
4. Keep the motor wires as far away as possible from the feedback, control and
communication cables.
5. 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.
6. After completing the wiring, carefully inspect all wires to ensure tightness, good solder
joints and general safety.

3.5.2. Connection Diagrams

The following two connection diagrams (Figure 4, Figure 5) show the three different ways of connecting the servo drive:
400 V and 800 V S models (the catalog number has an S option) 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. The drive’s internal DC/DC converter is fed from
the VP+ and VN- of the internal drive’s bus line.

3.6.3. Connecting the Motor Cable

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.
Note for connecting the motor cables:
1. For best immunity, it is highly recommended to use a shielded (not twisted) cable for the
motor connection. A shielded cable consisting of four wires should be used. The gauge is determined by the actual current consumption of the motor.
2. Connect the shield of the cable to the closest ground connection at the motor end.
3. Connect the shield of the cable to the PE terminal in the drive's motor-connector.
4. Make sure that the motor chassis is properly grounded.
29
Figure 6: AC Motor Power Connection Diagram

3.6.4. Connecting the DC Power

The DC power to the DC Trombone is delivered from a separated rectifying-unit (supplied by the user). The following sections contain topology recommendations for implementing three­phase and a single-phase supply chains. Elmo offers the end-user, the option to purchase its Tambourine rectifier, which offers a range of versatile options.
The power-stage of the DC Trombone is fully isolated from other sections of the 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 a better performance of the DC Trombone.
In addition, this isolation simplifies the requirements of the DC power supply that is used to power the DC bus of the DC Trombone, by allowing it to operate with a non-isolated DC power source (a direct-to-mains connection) eliminating the need for a bulky and expensive isolation­transformer.
www.elmomc.com
MAN-DCTROIG (V er. 1.601)
DC Trombone Installation Guide Installation
However, the DC Trombone can operate from a non-isolated/direct-to-mains DC power supply, an isolated DC 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.
If the Trombone is connected to Elmo’s Tambourine power supply, then the end-user can exploit the Tambourine’s options, such as EMI-filtering and shunt-regulator.

3.6.5. 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 (Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 9).
Recommended connection of 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.
30
2. Connect both ends of the cable shield to the closest PE connections.
3. Tie one end to the power supply's PE terminal/ heat sink, and tie the other end either to
the PE terminal of the DC Trombone's power-connector, or attach it to one of the 6 mounting screws of the drive's heat sink.
3.6.5.1. Three-Phase Direct-to-Mains Connection Topology
Figure 7: Non-Isolated Three-Phase Connection Topology
Caution:
Do not connect VN- to PE. In a direct-to-mains connection, the VN- must not be connected to the PE, as this will cause irreparable damage to the system.
Take care to 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.

3.6.5.3. Multiple Connections Topology
When applied in a multi-axis arrangement, it is likely that a single power supply can feed several drives in parallel.
This topology is efficient and cost saving, reducing the number of power supplies and the amount of wiring. More importantly, it utilizes an energy-sharing environment among all the drives that share the same DC bus network.

3.6.7. Connecting the Control and Backup Supply (24 V)

In non-S type DC Trombone drive (a drive without having the option S in its part number), a “smart” control-supply algorithm enables the DC Trombone to operate with the main power supply only, with no need for an auxiliary supply voltage for supplying the drive's logic section.
Note: In models without the S option, there is no backup ability at all.
If backup functionality is required, to store control parameters in the event of main power outages, then the S type DC Trombone should be used, with an external 24 VDC isolated power supply connected to it.
Note: The S-model 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.
Notes for 24 VDC backup supply connections:
1. Use a 24 AWG twisted pair shielded cable. The shield should have copper braid.
2. The source of the 24 VDC backup supply must be isolated, by using an isolation
transformer.
3. For safety and EMI reasons, connect the return of the 24 VDC 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 the correct polarity of the connection.

3.7. Feedback and Control Cable Assemblies

The DC Trombone features easy-to-use D-Sub type connections for all Control and Feedback cables. Below are instructions and diagrams describing how to assemble those cables.
1. 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.
2. Use only a D-Sub connector with a metal housing.
3. Ideally, solder the shield drain wire to the connector body as shown in Figure 12. 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.
4. On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
5. On controller side connections, follow the controller manufacturer’s recommendations
concerning the shield.

3.9. Communication Cables

The communication cables use an 8-pin RJ-45 plug that connect to the RS-232 and CAN ports of the DC Trombone.
The communication interface may differ according to the user’s hardware. The DC Trombone 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 DC Trombone 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.
62

3.9.1.1. 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 male RJ plug must have a shield cover.
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the RJ plug. The drain wire
can be used to facilitate the connection.

3.9.1.2. CAN Communication

Notes for connecting the CAN communication cable:
63
Use 26 or 28 AWG twisted pair shielded cables. For best results, the shield should have
aluminum foil and 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 male RJ plug must have a shield cover.
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the RJ plug. The drain wire
can be used to facilitate the connection.
Connect a termination 120-Ohms resistor at each of the two ends of the network cable.

3.10. Powering Up

After the DC Trombone has been mounted, check that the cables are intact.
The DC Trombone 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 DC Trombone and that the proper plus-minus connections are in order.

3.11. Initializing the System

After the DC Trombone 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 Composer Software Manual.
