Integrated Whistle Solution

Ideal for DC brush and brushless, sinusoidal and trapezoidal motors

also available with Auxiliary Input Feedback

Integrated Whistle solution, DC voltage input for DC brush, sinusoidal and trapezoidal motors

The Solo Whistle is an integrated solution designed to simply and efficiently connect Elmo's Whistle Servo Drive directly to the application. The solution consists of the Whistle, plus a helpful connection interface that can either eliminate or reduce the development time and resources required to design the PCB for an application.

Solo Whistle Highlights:

  • Advanced motion control capabilities in a highly compact package
  • Supports a wide variety of feedbacks
  • High level programming environment
  • Highest power density incorporated with Elmo’s SimplIQ core servo and motion rich capabilities
  • Mountable anywhere-in the motor, in the machine, on the load, attached to the moving part, etc.
  • Ready-to-use, no need for PCB design
The Solo Whistle is available in two auxiliary feedback configurations.
  • The Solo Whistle with Auxiliary Input Feedback is an integrated solution that receives either the position command data of the master encoder (in follower or ECAM mode), or a pulse and direction command. The input feedback configuration is indicated by the last two digits of the product part number: 05 up to 08.
  • The Solo Whistle with Auxiliary Output Feedback provides the main or emulated differential buffered auxiliary incremental encoder signals. This configuration is indicated by the last two digits of the product part number: 01 up to 04.
As with other Elmo SimplIQ digital products, the Solo Whistle can be easily set up and tuned with Elmo's Composer software tools.
Product Features
Current Control
  • Fully digital
