• Telnet communication for setup and configuration
• USB: Using binary protocol (maintenance)
• Application level: Ethernet-IP/Modbus
 Device Network
• EtherCAT: CoE/EoE/FoE, supports distributed clock master
• CAN: CANopen device profiles, e.g., DS 301, DS 305, DS 402, DS 401 (I/O device
profile)
• Host and Internal Software Interface
 TCP/IP interface from Host Computer. Software Library is provided for easy TCP/IP
communication interface.
 Future version will also support Ethernet-IP and Modbus over the TCP-IP.
 Internal Software libraries, for "C" user programs are provided, to write user code
running on the Gold Maestro target processor (native mode).
• Data Recording
 4 MB data recording
 Up to 32 vectors can be recorded simultaneously.
 Supports more than 10 advanced triggering options and real-time scope capabilities
 Very fast data upload using Ethernet
• Upload/Download Support
 Firmware update support (Gold Maestro and drives)
 System resource files
 Axis parameter files
• Drive Communication Bridge Support: The Gold Maestro supports full communication
with any specific drive (EtherCAT and CAN), for the purpose of simple tuning or
configuration at the drive level, i.e. there is no need for direct communication with the
drive.
• Spatial Position-Based Pulse Generation
 The Gold Maestro supports spatial (along the path) position-based pulse generation.
This is a unique feature, required for the generation of position-based events in 3D
scanning systems.
 The Gold Maestro system, with Elmo’s intelligent Gold servo drives, can support single
axis and spatial enhanced position-based compare functions, resulting in trigger output
signals accurate to 1 encoder count along the trajectory path.
• Network Encoders: Supports master based motion on network encoders
• Position Error Mapping: Supports 1-D and 2-D position-based error mapping
compensation
• System Boot up Time: < 30 sec
