Based on Elmo Motion Control’s innovative ExtrIQ core technology, they support a wide range
of motor feedback options, programming capabilities and communication protocols.
2.2. Drive Description
The Panther series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the highest
density of power and intelligence. The Panther delivers up to 10 kW of continuous power or 16
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 Panther 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 configure the servo drive quickly and simply for optimal use
with their motor. The Panther, as part of the SimplIQ product line, is fully programmable with
Elmo’s Composer motion control language.
Power to the drives is provided by a DC power source (not included with the Panther).
Since the power stage is fully isolated from the control stage, the DC rectifier can be fed
directly from the mains, without the need for a bulky and expensive transformer.
If backup functionality is required to store control parameters in the event of a mains power
outage, then an S-model Panther should be used, with an external 24 VDC isolated supply
connected to it.
Note: The backup functionality can operate from an isolated voltage source within the range
of 18 to 30 VDC.
Whenever backup functionality is not required, Panther models that do not have the Control
Supply S option in the catalog number (only for 400 V models -see page 19) can be used, i.e.,
they do not have a 24 V control supply. In these models, a smart control-supply algorithm
enables the Panther to operate with only the main power supply VP+ and VN-, with no need for
a 24 VDC auxiliary power supply for the logic.
The Panther is a PCB-mounted device, which enables efficient and cost-effective
implementation. It is a basic servo drive, which operates in current, velocity, and position
modes including Follower and PT & PVT. It operates simultaneously via RS-232 and CAN DS 301,
DS 305, DS 402 communications and features a third-generation programming environment, as
well as advanced positioning capabilities: ECAM, Dual Loop and increased program size.
