Gold Whistle Digital Servo Drive G-WHI10-100EE
The Gold Whistle is a compact, PCB-mounted digital servo drive that weighs just 55 g (1.94 oz) and offers up to 1.6 kW of continuous power or 3.2 kW of peak power.
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. The Gold Whistle is powered by a single 12 V – 95 V isolated DC power source (not included) and a “smart” control-supply algorithm enables the drive to operate with only one power supply with no need for an auxiliary power supply for the logic.
In conjunction with the Gold Maestro, the ultimate distributed network motion controller, and the other members of the Gold Line of intelligent servo drives, state-of-the-art solutions for the most challenging multi-axis motion applications can be easily implemented, with a short development cycle while maintaining high performance.
The Gold Whistle is an advanced high power density servo drive, delivering up to 1.6 kW of continuous power or 3.2 kW of peak power in a 38.0 cc (2.32 in³) package (55 x 46 x 15 mm or 2.2" x 1.8" x 0.6"). The Gold Whistle 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 Whistle is provided by a DC power source which is isolated from the Mains. The Gold Whistle 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 Whistle 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 Whistle is available in a variety of models. There are multiple power rating options, two different communications options, a number of feedback options and different I/O configuration possibilities.
