Motion Control For ANY Multi Axis Scenario

The Gold Maestro is the Ultimate Demonstration of Elmo’s

“Smart, Small and Simple”

3


Elmo’s Gold Maestro is an advanced, network-based, multi-axis machine motion controller.

The Gold Maestro can control any multi-axis scenario. From simple “Point-to-Point” to complete multi-axis coordinated / synchronized motion control.

By operating in conjunction with Elmo’s Veteran SimplIQ or Gold Servo Drives, it offers the most advanced multi-axis network controller.

The Gold Maestro features:

By the book, PLCopen Single and Multi-Axis motion control

Designed to standards for simple and effective integration into your machine

Ability to synchronize up to 16 axes, at Axis level and at Machine Level

Advanced user programming capabilities based on recognized standards (C, C++, .NET, IEC-61131-3)

Complete application support by ready-to-use scripts, motion blocks, programs, templates, user functions.

5


A major advantage of the Gold Maestro is the flexibility in allowing axes to run in the following modes:

Numerical Control – Motion Profile that is calculated in the

Gold Maestro

Distributed – Motion Profile that is calculated in drive, thus

obtaining distributed intelligence

Single Axis Motion

Simple Point to Point and Jog motion. Huge Motion Buffers are supported.

Motions can be buffered by using one

of the many supported G-MAS Motion Buffering modes:

Buffered – Motion Function block will start once the previous motion ended. Blending – Velocity of inserted motion block will blend with the previous function block. Abort – All ongoing motion blocks will be aborted.

On The Fly Position to Torque switching:

Fast and smooth transition to Torque control with Torque ramp

10


Superimposed Motion :

The G-MAS fully supports superimposing a motion - the ability to impose an additional profiler on top of an ongoing motion in real time

Programmable “In Target” criteria:

Precise Motion and Settling time (within programmable radiuses and time) can be obtained for factory ATP purposes

12

Any Motion – Multi Axis

Multi Axis Coordinated Motion

Group Motion can be fully coordinated and synchronized when using the G-MAS.

Each individual axis that is part of a Group Motion shall start together and finish together with other group members

Motion Blending

The G-MAS enables the blending of a path between any two consecutive motion segments.

The blending defines the velocity at the transition point.
