MAX-4/11/03/032/99/0/0/00 is a high-end multi-axis motion controller from Schneider Electric's ELAU PacDrive MAX-4 series. It features a 32-bit hard real-time floating-point processor, 32KB of program storage, and the "99" in the model name indicates support for up to 99 axes of servo synchronous linkage. The sixth and seventh bits are 0/0. The entire unit has no built-in digital I/O or analog AI/AO terminals, retaining only the core computing and communication units. External I/O expansion modules are required for sensor and solenoid valve signal acquisition and output. Utilizing the SERCOS III real-time bus and compatible with VCA and VDM servo drives, it is suitable for large-scale multi-station packaging, printing, and pharmaceutical filling production lines. The VxWorks hard real-time system has a minimum motion cycle of 250μs, stably achieving highly complex motion processes such as flying shears, electronic cams, and multi-unit synchronization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum number of servo axes that the MAX-4/11/03/032/99/0/0/00 can control, and what is its program storage capacity?
A: The "99" in the model number indicates that it supports a maximum of 99 servo axes for synchronous linkage. It has a built-in 32KB program storage space, which can store cam curves and production recipe motion programs for medium-sized equipment, and is suitable for large-scale multi-axis automated equipment.
Q: Does the MAX-4/11/03/032/99/0/0/00 have built-in input/output terminals? How can I acquire signals from external sensors?
A: This controller has no built-in digital or analog I/O terminals and cannot be directly connected to components such as solenoid valves or tension sensors. To acquire or output signals, an external I/O expansion module is required
Q: What diagnostic tools are included with the MAX-4/11/03/032/99/0/0/00?
A: The built-in 8-channel software waveform oscilloscope can monitor servo operation waveforms in real time, automatically store complete fault logs, and, in conjunction with the machine's operation and alarm indicator lights, quickly locate bus and servo-related fault points.
