Chapter 2: Introduction
Solo Whistle Installation Guide
The Solo Whistle is an integrated solution designed to simply and efficiently connect Elmo’s
Whistle servo drive directly to the application. The solution consists of the Whistle together
with a convenient connection interface which either eliminates or reduces development time
and resources when designing an application’s PCB board.
This installation guide describes the Solo Whistle servo drive and the steps for its wiring,
installation and power-up. Following these guidelines ensures maximum functionality of the
drive and the systems to which it is connected.
2.1. Drive Description
The Solo Whistle series of digital servo drives is designed to deliver “the highest density of
power and intelligence”. The Solo Whistle is a lightweight and highly compact solution which
can be used whenever reduced size and weight are essential to the application. The Solo
Whistle delivers up to 1600 W of continuous power or 3200 W of peak power in a
77.19 cc/4.55 in³ (58.25 x 28.5 x 46.5 mm or 2.3" x 1.1" x 1.8") package.
11
The Solo Whistle drive is designed for OEMs. It operates 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. It is designed for use
with any type of sinusoidal and trapezoidal commutation, with vector control. The Solo Whistle
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 drive is easily set up and tuned using Elmo’s Composer software tools. This Windows-based
application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for optimal use with
their motor. The Solo Whistle, as part of the
Elmo’s Composer motion control language.
Power to the drive is provided by a 12 to 195 VDC isolated DC power source (not included with
the Solo Whistle). A “smart” control-supply algorithm enables the Solo Whistle to operate with
only one power supply in up to 100 V models with no need for an auxiliary power supply for the
logic. For 200 V models, auxiliary power supply in the range of 12 to 95 V is always required.
If backup functionality is required for storing control parameters in case of power-loss, an
external 12 to 95 VDC isolated supply should be connected (via the +VL terminal on the Solo
Whistle) providing maximum flexibility and backup functionality when needed.
Note: This backup functionality can operate from any voltage source within the 12 to 95 VDC
range. This is much more flexible than to be restricted by only using a standard 24 VDC power
supply.
SimplIQ product line, is fully programmable with
If backup power is not needed in up to 100 V models, two terminals (VP and VL) are shorted so
that the main power supply will also power the control/logic supply. In this way there is no
need for a separate control/logic supply.
200 V models require two separate power supplies.

Power to the Solo Whistle is provided by a 12 to 195 VDC source. A smart control-supply
algorithm enables the Solo Whistle to operate with the power supply only in up to 100 V
models, with no need for an auxiliary 24 volt supply.
200 V models always require two separate power supplies.
If backup functionality is required (for storing control parameters in case of power-outs) an
additional backup supply can be connected by implementing "diode coupling" to the VL+.
Note: The source of the 12 to 195 VDC Main Power Supply must be isolated.

3.7. Auxiliary Feedback
When using one of the Auxiliary Feedback options, the relevant functionality of the Auxiliary
Feedback's ports are software- and hardware-selected for that option. Refer to the SimplIQ
Command Reference Manual for detailed information about Auxiliary Feedback setup.
3.7.1. Auxiliary Feedback Operation Modes
There are two modes of operation for the Solo Whistle:
• Mode 1: Auxiliary output (Composer command: YA[4]=4) – see Section 3.7.2
Only for SOL-WHIXXX/YYYY01 to SOL-WHIXXX/YYYY04
Differential emulated encoder outputs are used to provide emulated encoder signals to
another controller or drive. The emulated encoder output option is only available when
using a resolver or analog encoder as the main feedback device.
This option can be used when:
The Solo Whistle is used as a current amplifier to provide position data to the position
controller.
The Solo Whistle is used in velocity mode to provide position data to the position
controller.
The Solo Whistle is used as a master in follower or ECAM mode.
29
• Mode 2: Auxiliary input (Composer command: YA[4]=2 or YA[4]=0) - see Sections 3.7.3 and
3.7.4
Only for SOL-WHIAXXX/YYYY05 to SOL-WHIAXXX/YYYY08
Differential auxiliary inputs, for the input of position data of the master encoder in
follower or ECAM mode. This mode can also be used for differential pulse-and-direction
position commands.

3.9. Communications
The communication interface may differ according to the user’s hardware. The Solo Whistle
can communicate using the following options:
a. RS-232, full duplex
b. CANopen
RS-232 communication requires a standard, commercial 3-core null-modem cable connected
from the Solo Whistle to a serial interface on the PC. The interface is selected and set up in the
Composer software.
In order to benefit from CANopen communication, the user must have an understanding of the
basic programming and timing issues of a CANopen network.
For ease of setup and diagnostics of CAN communication, RS-232 and CANopen can be used
simultaneously.
3.9.1. RS-232 Communication
Notes for connecting the RS-232 communication cable:
45
• 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 RS-232 communication port is non-isolated.

3.10. Powering Up
After the Solo Whistle is connected to its device, it is ready to be powered up.
Caution:
Before applying power, ensure that the DC supply is within the specified range
and that the proper plus-minus connections are in order.
3.11. Initializing the System
After the Solo Whistle 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.
3.12. Heat Dissipation
The best way to dissipate heat from the Solo Whistle is to mount it so that its heat sink faces
up. For best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Solo Whistle's heat sink
and any other assembly.
49
3.12.1. Solo Whistle Thermal Data
• Heat dissipation capability (θ): Approximately 10 °C/W.
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 240 seconds (thermal time constant means that the
Solo Whistle will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 4 minutes).
• Shut-off temperature: 86 °C to 88 °C (measured on the heat sink)

3.12.3. How to Use the Charts
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.
2. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the Solo Whistle.
3. Calculate the allowable temperature increase as follows:
For an ambient temperature of 40 °C , ΔT= 80°C – 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.
5. If the dissipated power is below 4 W the Solo Whistle will need no additional cooling.
Note: The chart above shows that no heat sink is needed when the heat sink temperature is
80 °C, ambient temperature is 40 °C and heat dissipated is 4 Watts.

Input current for 24 V DI level Rin=10.52k, Iin = 2.2 mA @ Vin = 24 V
High-level input voltage 5 V < Vin < 24 V
Low-level input voltage 0 V < Vin < 1 V
Minimum pulse width > 4 x TS, where TS is sampling time
Execution time (all inputs):
the time from application of voltage on
input until execution is complete
If input is set to one of the built-in functions —
Home, Inhibit, Hard Stop, Soft Stop, Hard and
Soft Stop, Forward Limit, Reverse Limit or
Begin — execution is immediate upon
detection: 0<T<4xTS
If input is set to General input, execution
depends on program. Typical execution time: ≅
0.5 msec.
High-speed inputs – 5 & 6 minimum pulse
width, in high-speed mode

Notes:
• Home mode is high-speed mode and can
be used for fast capture and precise
homing.
• High speed input has a digital filter set to
same value as digital filter (EF) of main
encoder.
• Highest speed is achieved when turning on
optocouplers.
