Whistle and Tweeter Installation GuideSafety 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.
• Power cables can carry a high voltage, even when the motor is not in motion.
Disconnect the Whistle and Tweeter from all voltage sources before it is opened for
servicing.
• The Whistle and Tweeter servo drives contain 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). Measuring the
electrical contact points with a meter, before touching the equipment, is
recommended.
9
1.2. Cautions
• The Whistle and Tweeter servo drives contain hot surfaces and electrically-charged
components during operation.
• The maximum DC power supply connected to the instrument must comply with the
parameters outlined in this guide.
• When connecting the Whistle and Tweeter to an approved 11 to 95 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 Whistle and Tweeter, 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 Whistle and Tweeter drives’ soldering with solvent cleaning
fluids of pH greater than 7 (8 to 14). The solvent corrodes the plastic cover causing
cracks and eventual damage to the drive's PCBs.
Elmo recommends using the cleaning fluid Vigon-EFM which is pH Neutral (7).

Chapter 2: Introduction
Whistle and Tweeter Installation Guide
This installation guide describes the Whistle and Tweeter servo drives and the steps for its
wiring, installation and power-up. Following these guidelines ensures maximum functionality of
the drive and the system to which it is connected.
2.1. Drive Description
The Whistle and Tweeter series of digital servo drives are designed to deliver “the highest
density of power and intelligence”. While both are light and highly compact solutions, the
Tweeter can be used whenever reduced size and weight are essential to the application. The
Whistle delivers up to 1600 W of continuous power or 3200 W of peak power in a 2 in³ (55 x
15 x 46.5 mm or 2" x 0.6" x 1.8") 38 cc package. The Tweeter delivers up to 200 W of continuous power or 400 Wof peak power.
The Whistle and Tweeter are designed for OEMs. 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 Whistle and Tweeter 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 Whistle and Tweeter, as part of the
programmable with Elmo Composer motion control language.
Power to the drives is provided by a 12 to 195 VDC isolated DC power source (not included with
the Whistle and Tweeter). A “smart” control-supply algorithm enables the Whistle and
Tweeter 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, the auxiliary power supply in the range
of 12 -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 Whistle
and Tweeter) 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.
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.
SimplIQ product line, are fully
200 V models require two separate power supplies.
The Whistle and Tweeter are PCB mounted devices which enable efficient and cost saving
implementation.

3.4. Mounting
3.4.1. Whistle
The Whistle was designed for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB) via 2 mm pitch 0.51
mm square pins. When integrating the Whistle into a device, be sure to leave about 1 cm (0.4")
outward from the heat-sink to enable free air convection around the drive. We recommend
that the Whistle be soldered directly to the board. Alternatively, though this is not
recommended, the Whistle can be attached to socket connectors mounted on the PCB. If the
PCB is enclosed in a metal chassis, we recommend that the Whistle be screw-mounted to it as
well to help with heat dissipation. The Whistle has screw-mount holes on each corner of the
heat-sink for this purpose – see below.
20
Figure 3: The Whistle Footprint
When the Whistle is not connected to a metal chassis, the application’s thermal profile may
require a solution for heat dissipation due to insufficient air convection. In this case, we
recommend that you connect an external heat-sink. Elmo has an external heat-sink (Catalog
number: WHI-HEATSINK-2) that can be ordered for this purpose – see below.
Figure 4: Whistle External Heat-sink

Whistle and Tweeter Installation GuideInstallation
3.4.2. Tweeter
The Tweeter was designed for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB) via 2 mm pitch 0.51
mm square pins. When integrating the Tweeter into a device, be sure to leave about 1 cm
(0.4") outward from the lower board to enable free air convection around the Tweeter. We
recommend that the Tweeter be soldered directly to the board. Alternatively, the Tweeter can
be attached to socket connectors mounted on the PCB.
Note: Elmo recommends you leave approximately 1 cm (0.4 in) of space on the side opposite
the terminals to allow for free air convection.

MAN-WHTWIG (Ver. 1.604)
Whistle and Tweeter Installation GuideInstallation
3.5. Integrating the Whistle or Tweeter on a PCB
The Whistle and Tweeter are designed to be mounted on a PCB, either by soldering its pins
directly to the PCB or by using suitable socket connectors. In both cases the following rules
apply:
3.5.1. Traces
1. The size of the traces on the PCB (thickness and width) is determined by the current
carrying capacity required by the application.
The rated continuous current limit (Ic) of the Whistle and Tweeter is the current used
for sizing the motor traces (M1, M2, M3 and PE) and power traces (VP+, PR and PE).
For control, feedbacks and Inputs/ outputs conductors the actual current is very small
but “generous” thickness and width of the conductors will contribute to a better
performance and lower interferences.
2. The traces should be as short as possible to minimize EMI and to minimize the heat
generated by the conductors.
3. The spacing between the high voltage conductors (VP+, PR, M1, M2, M3, VL) must be at
least:
22
Surface layer: 1.5 mm
Internal layer: 0.10 mm
Complying with the rules above will help satisfy UL safety standards, MIL-STD-275 and the IPCD-275 standard for non-coated conductors, operating at voltages lower than 100 VDC.
3.5.2. Grounds and Returns
The “Returns” of the Whistle and Tweeter are structured internally in a star configuration. The
returns in each functional block are listed below:
Functional Block Return Pin
Power PR (Power Return)
Internal Switch Mode P.S. PR (Power Return)
RS232 Communications RS232_COMRET (J1/3)
CAN Communications CAN_COMRET (J1/20)
Control section Internal, not accessible
Main Feedback SUPRET (J2/2)
Aux. Feedback SUPRET (J1/4)
Analog input ANLRET (J2/2)
The returns above are all shorted within the Whistle and Tweeter in a topology that results in
optimum performance.
www.elmomc.com
MAN-WHTWIG (Ver. 1.604)
Whistle and Tweeter Installation GuideInstallation
1. When wiring the traces of the above functions, on the Integration Board, the Returns of
each function must be wired separately to its designated terminal on the Whistle or
Tweeter. DO NOT USE A COMMON GROUND PLANE. Shorting the commons on the
Integration Board may cause performance degradation (ground loops, etc.).
2. Inputs: The 6 inputs are optically isolated from the other parts of the Whistle and Tweeter.
All 6 inputs share a single common “Return” (INRET - J1/15). To retain isolation, the Input
Return pin, as well as other conductors on the input circuit, must be laid out separately.
3. Outputs: The 2 outputs are optically isolated from the other parts of the Whistle and
Tweeter. Each output has a separate floating return (OUTRET1 - J1/17 for output 1 and
OUTRET2 J1/16 for output 2). To retain isolation, the Output Return pins, as well as other
conductors on the output circuit, must lay out separately.
4. Return Traces: The return traces should be as large as possible, but without shorting each
other, and with minimal cross-overs.
5. Main Power Supply and Motor Traces: The power traces must be kept as far away as
possible from the feedback, control and communication traces.
6. PE Terminal: The PE terminal is connected directly to the Whistle’s heatsink or to the
Tweeter's 2 PE strips on its lower board. In the Whistle, the heatsink serves as an EMI
common plane. The PE terminal should be connected to the system’s Protective Earth. Any
other metallic parts (such as the chassis) of the assembly should be connected to the
Protective Earth as well.
23
www.elmomc.com
MAN-WHTWIG (Ver. 1.604)
Whistle and Tweeter Installation GuideInstallation
7. Under normal operating conditions, the PE trace carries no current. The only time these
traces carry current is under abnormal conditions (such as when the device has become a
potential shock or fire hazard while conducting external EMI interferences directly to
ground). When connected properly the PE trace prevents these hazards from affecting the
drive.
24
Caution:
Follow these instructions to ensure safe and proper implementation. Failure to
meet any of the above-mentioned requirements can result in drive, controller
or host failure.

the Composer will establish the proper commutation automatically during setup. However, if
you plan to copy the setup to other drives, then the phase order on all copy drives must be the
same.

Whistle and Tweeter Installation GuideInstallation
3.8.3. Shared Supply for up to 100 V Models
A "Main" DC Power Supply can be designed to supply power to the drive's Logic as well as to
the Main Power (see Figure 8). 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' (see the Auxiliary Backup Supply in Figure 10).
Note: When using Elmo’s Evaluation Board (Catalog number: WHI-EVLBRD-1), the diode
coupling is “built in”. When you create your own PCB, you need to implement diode coupling.

3.12. Communications
The communication interface may differ according to the user’s hardware. The Whistle and
Tweeter 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 Whistle or Tweeter 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.
For ease of setup and diagnostics of CAN communication, RS-232 and CAN can be used
simultaneously.
3.12.1. RS-232 Communication
Notes for connecting the RS-232 communication cable:
46
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.
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the connector used for RS232 communications. The drain wire can be used to facilitate the connection.

3.13. Powering Up
After the Whistle or Tweeter 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.
3.14. Initializing the System
After the Whistle/Tweeter 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.
3.15. Heat Dissipation
The best way to dissipate heat from the Whistle is to mount it so that its heatsink faces up. For
best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Whistle's heatsink and any other
assembly.
49
3.15.1. Whistle Thermal Data
• Heat dissipation capability (θ): Approximately 10 °C/W
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 240 seconds (thermal time constant means that
the Whistle will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 4 minutes)
• Shut-off temperature: 86 °C to 88 °C (measured on the heatsink)

3.15.3. How to Use the Charts
The charts above are based upon theoretical worst-case conditions. Actual test results show
30% - 50% better power dissipation.
To determine if your application needs a heatsink:
1. Allow maximum heatsink temperature to be 80 °C or less.
2. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the 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 Whistle will need no additional cooling.
Notes:
The chart above shows that no heatsink is needed when the heatsink temperature is 80 °C,
ambient temperature is 40 °C and heat dissipated is 4 Watts.
51
When an external heatsink is required, you can use the Elmo external heatsink (Catalog
number: WHI-HEATSINK-2) – see Figure 4.
3.15.4. Tweeter Thermal Data
The best way to dissipate heat from the Tweeter is to mount it so that its lower board faces
upward. For best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Tweeter's lower
board and any other assembly.

67
Input current
Iin = 2.4 mA @ Vin = 5 V
for all inputs
High-level input voltage 2.5 V < Vin < 10 V, 5 V typical
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.
