Description
Product Specification: ELAU MAX-4/11/03/128/08/1/1/00 Motion Controller
ELAU MAX-4/11/03/128/08/1/1/00 is a high-performance motion controller designed for industrial automation systems, offering advanced multi-axis synchronization and real-time control capabilities. Part of ELAU’s PACDrive series, this controller combines rugged reliability with modular flexibility, making it ideal for applications requiring precision and scalability.
The
MAX-4/11/03/128/08/1/1/00 integrates an industrial PC architecture with a VxWorks real-time operating system, enabling deterministic control of up to
40 servo axes via SERCOS fiber-optic bus. It supports multiple communication protocols (PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, Ethernet TCP/IP) and features built-in digital/analog I/O, touch probe inputs, and compact flash storage for data logging. With its intelligent diagnostics and OPC connectivity, the controller simplifies remote monitoring and reduces downtime.
