Table of Contents
Chapter 1: This Installation Guide
This installation Guide details the technical data, pinouts, and power connectivity of the Gold Solo
Double Twitter. For a comprehensive detailed description of the functions and connections of the
drive, refer to the Gold Panel Mounted Drives Hardware Manual.
Chapter 2: Safety Information
In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Gold Solo Double Twitter, it is imperative
that you implement the safety procedures included in this installation guide. This information is
provided to protect you and to keep your work area safe when operating the Gold Solo Double
Twitter and accompanying equipment.
Please read this chapter carefully before you begin the installation process.
Before you start, ensure that all system components are connected to earth ground. Electrical
safety is provided through a low-resistance earth connection.
Only qualified personnel may install, adjust, maintain and repair the servo drive. A qualified person
has the knowledge and authorization to perform tasks such as transporting, assembling, installing,
commissioning and operating motors.
The Gold Solo Double Twitter contains electrostatic-sensitive components that can be damaged if
handled incorrectly. To prevent any electrostatic damage, avoid contact with highly insulating
materials, such as plastic film and synthetic fabrics. Place the product on a conductive surface and
ground yourself in order to discharge any possible static electricity build-up.
To avoid any potential hazards that may cause severe personal injury or damage to the product
during operation, keep all covers and cabinet doors shut.
The following safety symbols are used in this and all Elmo Motion Control manuals:
Warning:
This information is needed to avoid a safety hazard, which might cause bodily
injury or death as a result of incorrect operation.
Caution:
This information is necessary to prevent bodily injury, damage to the product or to
other equipment.
Important:
Identifies information that is critical for successful application and understanding
of the product.

Table of Contents
2.1. Warnings
•To avoid electric arcing and hazards to personnel and electrical contacts, never
connect/disconnect the servo drive while the power source is on.
•Power cables can carry a high voltage, even when the motor is not in motion. Disconnect
the Gold Solo Double Twitter from all voltage sources before servicing.
•The high voltage products within the Gold Line range contain grounding conduits for electric
current protection. Any disruption to these conduits may cause the instrument to become
hot (live) and dangerous.
•After shutting off the power and removing the power source from your equipment, wait at
least 3 minutes before touching or disconnecting parts of the equipment that are normally
loaded with electrical charges (such as capacitors or contacts). Measuring the electrical
contact points with a meter, before touching the equipment, is recommended.
2.2. Cautions
•The maximum DC power supply connected to the instrument must comply with the
parameters outlined in this guide.
•When connecting the Gold Solo Double Twitter to an approved control supply, connect it
through a line that is separated from hazardous live voltages using reinforced or double
insulation in accordance with approved safety standards.
•Before switching on the Gold Solo Double Twitter, verify that all safety precautions have
been observed and that the installation procedures in this manual have been followed.
•Make sure that the Safe Torque Off is operational
2.3. Warranty Information
The products covered in this manual are warranted to be free of defects in material and
workmanship and conform to the specifications stated either within this document or in the
product catalog description. All Elmo drives are warranted for a period of 12 months from the time
of shipment. No other warranties, expressed or implied — and including a warranty of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose — extend beyond this warranty.

Chapter 3: Product Description
The Ultra High Current Gold Solo Double Twitter which can deliver up to 160A @ up to 75VDC, 140A
@ up to 95VDC, and 40A @ up to 195VDC, are advanced high power density servo drives, delivering
up to 11 kW power in a 97.02 cm3(5.92 Inch3) compact package
47 x 69.5 x 29.7 mm (1.85" x 2.74" x 1.17").
This advanced, high power density servo drive provides top performance, advanced networking and
built-in safety, as well as a fully featured motion controller and local intelligence. Power to the Gold
Solo Double Twitter is provided by a DC power source which is isolated from the Mains. The Gold
Solo Double Twitter can operate with single or dual power supplies. If separation between the main
DC power source and a control supply is required, then a control supply (isolated from the Mains) is
required according to the Part Number.
The drive 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 Gold Solo Double Twitter drive is easily set up and tuned using the Elmo Application Studio
(EASII) software tools. As part of the Gold product line, it is fully programmable with the Elmo
motion control language. For more information about software tools refer to the Elmo Application
Studio (EASII) User Guide.
The Gold Solo Double Twitter is available in a variety of models. There are multiple power rating
options, different communications options, a number of feedback options and different I/O
configuration possibilities.
