Introduction
This installation guide describes the DC Whistle and the steps for its wiring, installation and
power-up. Following these guidelines ensures maximum functionality of the product and the
system to which it is connected.
2.1. Product Description
The DC Whistle series of servo drives enhances Elmo’s range of digital servo drives, recognized
for having the highest power density and intelligence. The DC Whistle is a highly compact
integrated solution containing a single drive.
The DC Whistle integrates Elmo’s advanced “Elmo First Control” technology, which contributes
to the product’s excellent control performance, wide range of functionalities and high
efficiency and reliability. The solution includes one fully separated digital motion controller
featuring:
•
CANopen-based networking operating simultaneously via RS-232 and CANopen DS 301,
DSP 305, DSP 402 communications and featuring a third-generation programming
environment
•
Current, velocity and position control loops including PT and PVT
•
Commutation types
•
Position feedbacks
The benefits are high dynamics and increased precision for single axis automated machines
such as robots, feeders, up- and down-loaders, conveyor belts and production lines.
Power to the various DC Whistle models is provided by a 11 to 95 VDC source. A “smart”
control-supply algorithm enables the DC Whistle to operate with only one power supply and
there is no need for an auxiliary power supply for the logic.
If backup functionality is required for storing control parameters in case of power-loss, an
external 11 to 95 VDC supply should be connected (via the VL+ terminal on the DC Whistle)
providing maximum flexibility and backup functionality when needed.
Note:
This backup power supply can operate from any voltage source within the range from
11 to 95 VDC. This is much more flexible than a standard 24 VDC power supply requirement.
The DC Whistle series fully complies with all relevant safety and EMC regulations.
