This Installation Guide
This installation Guide details the technical data, pinouts, and power connectivity of the Gold
Twitter. For a comprehensive detailed description of the functions and connections of the
drive, refer to the Gold Board Level Module Hardware Manual.
Chapter 2:
Safety Information
In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Gold 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 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 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 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 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 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
date of shipment. No other warranties, expressed or implied — and including a warranty of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose — extend beyond this warranty.

Product Description
The Gold Twitter is an advanced high power density servo drive, delivering up to 5.6 kW power
in a 12.6 cm3(0.769 in³) compact package (35 x 30 x 11.5 mm or 1.38" x 1.18" x 0.45"). The
Gold Twitter is designed to be mounted on a PCB by soldering its pins directly to the PCB.
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 Twitter is provided by a DC power source which is isolated
from the Mains. The Gold 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.
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 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 Twitter is available in a variety of models. There are a number of possible options;
multiple power rating, various communications, and feedback.
ETHERCAT MODULE CAN MODULE
Figure 1: Difference between 3-Tier CAN and 4-Tier EtherCAT modules with/without Heatsink
Within the variety of models offered, the CAN and EtherCAT versions are physically different in
that the CAN version has three tiers, whereas the EtherCAT version has four tiers, as shown in
Figure 1.
Optionally, where necessary, Elmo offers two external heat sinks (Catalog number:
G-TWIHSFINS01, and G-TWIHSFLAT01) which should be ordered separately. Refer to the
section 7.1 Mounting the Optional Acessories Heat Sinks for details of installing the heat sinks.
