SAXUGEN0402 Chapter 1: Safety Information In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Saxophone servo amplifier, 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 Saxophone and its accompanying equipment.
Any disruption to these conduits may cause the instrument to become hot (live) and dangerous. Powering up: Before switching the Saxophone on, verify that all safety precautions have been observed and that the installation procedures in this manual have been followed.
The Saxophone series' power source is a three-phase 400 VAC or one- or three-phase 230 VAC line. The control and auxiliary supplies are derived from a 24V AC or DC supply that is isolated from the AC power bus.
Limit Switches 24VAC Abort Fault General I/O Figure 2-1: Saxophone Architecture Block Diagram For three-phase supply voltage: The circuit breaker current rating should be between 150% to 200% of the amplifier current. The circuit breaker voltage rating should be 460 VAC.
SAXUGEN0402 How to Use this Guide In order to install and operate your Elmo Saxophone servo amplifier, you will use this manual in conjunction with a set of Elmo documentation. Installation is your first step; after carefully reading the safety instructions in the first chapter, the following chapters...
Connecting the power cables and motor cables Powering up Performing initial setup and initialization Unpacking the System Components Before you begin working with the Saxophone system, verify that you have all of its components, as follows: The Saxophone servo amplifier The Composer software and software manual Optional mounting clips The Saxophone is shipped in a cardboard box with Styrofoam protection.
Installation SAXUGEN0402 The P/N number at the top gives the type designation as follows: Verify that the Saxophone type is the one that you ordered, and ensure that the voltage meets your specific requirements. Mounting the Saxophone The Saxophone has been designed for two standard mounting options:...
3.2.2 Mounting on a DIN Rail At the top rear of the Saxophone, a horizontal groove lets you quickly and easily snap the Saxophone onto a DIN rail in your work area To mount the Saxophone on a DIN rail: Be sure that the vertical mounting strip (with the hole at the top) is pressed down fully and does not protrude from the top of the instrument.
Elmo SAXophone Installation Guide Installation SAXUGEN0402 Press the Saxophone down to a vertical position until it clicks onto the DIN rail. Figure 3-5: Saxophone Mounted on DIN Rail Connecting the Cables 3.3.1 Wiring the Saxophone Once the Saxophone is mounted, you are ready to wire the device. Proper wiring, grounding and shielding are essential for ensuring peak servo operation and performance.
3.3.2 Connecting the Power Cables Access the power terminal connections on the Saxophone servo amplifier by removing the front safety cover located at the bottom of the front panel of the unit, as shown below: Figure 3-6: Removable Bottom Saxophone Panel After removing the safety cover, the power terminal connections are visible, as follows: Connector No.

Figure 3-8: Saxophone – Motor Power Connections Power supply: Supplies power to the Saxophone. To connect the power cables: On the open section at the bottom of the Saxophone front panel, connect the auxiliary power supply to the J2-Aux Power points. Note: The DC cables (plus and minus) can be placed in either connector.
Reattach the safety panel to cover the motor and power connectors. 3.3.3 Connecting the Motor Cables The Saxophone servo amplifier has a front panel that provides easy-to-use connections for all required cables. These connections are through 9-pin, 15-pin or 25-pin D-type ports; they support several types of configurations and interfaces.

To connect the communication cable: For an RS-232 connection, insert the communication cable from the serial port of the PC (Com1 or Com2) into the Com1 port on the Saxophone servo amplifier, using a 9-pin, D-type female connector. For CANopen communication, connect a communication cable from the CANopen...
