MAN-CELIG (Ver. 1.5) Chapter 1: Safety Information In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Cello servo drive, 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 Cello and accompanying equipment.
The maximum DC power supply connected to the instrument must comply with the parameters outlined in this guide. The Cello can operate only through an isolated power source, using an isolated transformer and a rectifier circuit. Power to this device must be supplied by DC voltage, within the boundaries specified for the Cello.
CE Mark Conformance The Cello servo drive is intended for incorporation in a machine or end product. The actual end product must comply with all safety aspects of the relevant requirements of the European Safety of Machinery Directive 98/37/EC as amended, and with those of the most recent versions of standards EN60204-1 and EN292-2 at the least.
Power to the Cello is provided by a 10 to 195 VDC source. A “smart” control-supply algorithm enables the Cello to operate with the power supply only, with no need for an auxiliary 24 Volt supply.
PT and PVT motion modes Dual (position/velocity) loop Fast output compare (OC) 2.2.5 Communication Options Depending on the application, Cello users can select from two communication options: RS-232 serial communication CANopen for fast communication in a multi-axis distributed environment 2.2.6 Feedback Options Incremental Encoder –...

Connect both ends of the cable shield to the closest ground connection, one end near the power supply and the other end to the PE terminal on the Cello’s heat sink.
To connect the back-up supply to the 24v port on the bottom of the Cello, use the 2-pin power plug provided with the Cello. Remember, you are working with DC power; be sure to exercise caution.
Figure 3-6: Feedback and Control Cable Assemblies Note: All D-sub type connectors, used with the Cello, should be assembled in this way. 3.4.5 Main Feedback Cable (FEEDBACK A) The main feedback cable is used to transfer feedback data from the motor to the drive.

The Main Feedback is always used in motion control devices whereas Auxiliary Feedback is often, but not always used. The Auxiliary Feedback connector on the Cello, “FEEDBACK B” has two ports, Port B1 and Port B2. When used in combination with the Main Feedback port, “FEEDBACK A”, the ports can be set, by software, as follows:...

CANopen RS-232 communication requires a standard, commercial 3-core null-modem cable connected from the Cello to a serial interface on the PC. The interface is selected and set up in the Composer software. In order to benefit from CANopen communication, the user must have an understanding of the basic programming and timing issues of a CANopen network.
Cello Installation Guide Installation 3-37 MAN-CELIG (Ver. 1.5) Figure 3-23: RS-232 Connection Diagram 3.4.9.2 CANopen Communication Notes for connecting the CANopen communication cable: Use 26 or 28 AWG twisted pair shielded cables. For best results, the shield should have aluminum foil and covered by copper braid with a drain wire Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC).
