Chapter 2: Introduction
This Installation Guide is intended for design engineers who are integrating Elmo Motion Control Cymbal servo amplifiers into a machine.
2.1Product Description
The Cymbal series of servo amplifiers is designed to operate in the current mode controlling
The Cymbal exhibits “the highest density of power and intelligence” and can deliver up to 11.3 kW of continuous power or 13.6 k W of peak power in a most compact and efficient package.
The Cymbal operates from a DC power source in the range of 12 ~ 195 VDC.
The Power stage of the Cymbal is fully isolated from other sections of the Cymbal, such as the control stage and the heatsink. This contributes very significantly to the safety and the EMI immunity of the Cymbal. In addition it simplifies the requirements of the DC power supply used to power the DC bus of the Cymbal and allows also the operation with a
The Cymbal incorporates full custom mixed analog/digital ICs and a hybrid power stage. The basic configuration is a current mode amplifier targeting the OEM market. As such, no trimmers are used in the basic version. In addition to its compliance with relevant MIL standards, the Cymbal amplifier also meets UL508c and the relevant CE regulations.
The Cymbal power stage is implemented on ceramic substrates. This design enables very high thermal conductivity, high current carrying capacity, improved EMC and good mechanical strength. The control section is implemented by dedicated custom ICs that contribute to enhanced performance and reliability.
