MC-4/11/10/400 Digital Servo Drive

Modular Servo Drive for Precision Motion Control

Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

High-Dynamic Performance: The ELAU MC-4/11/10/400 delivers exceptional motion control with 33A peak current capability for demanding acceleration/deceleration profiles. Its advanced control algorithms achieve positioning accuracy within ±1 encoder count, critical for high-precision applications like packaging machinery and robotics.

Modular Architecture: Designed for flexible system integration, this drive supports various feedback systems including EnDat 2.2, HIPERFACE DSL, and resolver interfaces. The modular design allows easy replacement and upgrades without system reconfiguration, reducing maintenance downtime by up to 40%.

Real-Time Communication: Utilizing SERCOS II fiber optic interface, the ELAU MC-4/11/10/400 achieves deterministic communication with cycle times as low as 62.5μs. This enables synchronous control of multiple axes with precise coordination, essential for complex motion profiles in automated production lines.

Intelligent Energy Management: Incorporating regenerative braking technology, the drive returns excess energy to the power supply during deceleration. This reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to conventional drives while minimizing heat generation in control cabinets.

Advanced Diagnostics: Integrated self-monitoring features continuously track drive temperature, current levels, and communication status. Predictive maintenance alerts notify operators of potential issues before failure occurs, while detailed fault logging simplifies troubleshooting procedures.
