Drum Installation Guide Introduction
MAN-DRUIG (Ver. 1.0)
2-1
Chapter 2: Introduction
This installation guide describes the Drum 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 Drum series are highly resilient digital servo drives designed to deliver “the highest
density of power and intelligence”. The Drum delivers up to 9.6 kW of continuous
power or 11.2 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 Drum 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 drives are 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 Drum, as part of the
SimplIQ product line, are fully
programmable with Elmo Metronome motion control language.
Power to the drives is provided by a 12 ~ 195 VDC isolated DC power source (not included
with the Drum). The power stage is fully isolated from the control stage. A “smart”
control-supply algorithm enables the Drum to operate with only one power supply with no
need for an auxiliary power supply for the logic.
If back-up functionality is required for storing control parameters in case of power-loss, an
external 12 ~ 195 VDC isolated supply should be connected (via the CAN connector on the
Drum) providing maximum flexibility and backup functionality when needed.
Note: This back-up functionality can operate from any voltage source within the
12 ~ 195 VDC range. This is much more flexible than to be restricted by only using a
standard 24 VDC power supply.
If back-up power is not needed, then the main power supply will also power the
control/logic supply. In this way there is no need for a separate control/logic supply.
