2.1. Functional Description
The Gold Hornet is an advanced high power density servo drive. It provides top servo
performance, advanced networking and built in safety, all in a small PCB mountable package.
The Gold Hornet has a fully featured motion controller and local intelligence.
The Gold Hornet 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 Gold Hornet
can operate as a standalone 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 Elmo Application Studio (EAS). This Windows-
based application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for optimal use
with their motor. For more information about software tools refer to the Elmo Application
Studio Software Manual.
The Gold Hornet is available in a variety of models. There are multiple power rating options,
two different communications options, a number of feedback options and different I/O
configuration possibilities. These models are a set of durable motion control products for
applications operating under extreme environmental conditions. They are capable of
withstanding the following extreme conditions:
