Product Description
2.1. Functional Description
The Gold Hawk is an advanced high power density servo drive. It provides top servo
performance, advanced networking and built in safety, all in a small PCB mountable package.
The Gold Hawk has a fully featured motion controller and local intelligence.
The Gold Hawk operates from a DC power source. 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 Hawk drive is easily set up and tuned using the Elmo Application Studio (EAS)
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 Software Manual.
The Gold Hawk 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.
