Gold Maestro Controller

The Ultimate Solution for Motion Control Networking

Elmo's Gold Maestro is a network-based, multi-axis machine motion controller designed for industrial applications. It operates in conjunction with both the SimplIQ Line and Gold Line of intelligent digital servo drives to provide a comprehensive and efficient motion control solution for the entire system.
The Gold Maestro is based on the most advanced, easy to use and cost effective distributed motion control architecture which enables the motion processing tasks to be shared between the controller and the drives. It contains a rich feature set that combines sophisticated motion control and advanced communications with full programming capabilities.
The Gold Maestro uses standard protocols over its various communications channels, combined with IEC and C programming and the PLCopen motion interface. The host communication is over an Ethernet or USB network whereas communication with the devices is via EtherCAT or CANopen. Elmo implements protocols “by the book” to enable interoperability with other compatible devices, increase network efficiency and reduce implementation time.
