MAX-4/11/03/128/08/0/0/00 is a compact motion controller from Schneider Electric's ELAU PacDrive MAX-4 series. It features a 32-bit hard real-time floating-point processor, 128KB of program storage, and supports up to 8-axis servo synchronous control. The model code 0/0 indicates the absence of built-in digital I/O and analog channels; only the computation and communication core is retained, requiring an external I/O expansion module for signal acquisition and output. It utilizes the SERCOS III servo bus with VDM series servo drives, adaptable to small to medium-sized packaging, labeling, and bag-making equipment with up to 8 axes. The hard real-time system has a minimum motion cycle of 250μs, stably implementing motion processes such as electronic cams, synchronous feeding, and simple flying shears.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many servo axes can the MAX-4/11/03/128/08/0/0/00 control at most, and what is its program storage capacity?
A: The "08" in the model number indicates that it supports a maximum of 8 servo axes operating synchronously. It has a built-in 128KB program storage space, which can store motion control programs such as cam curves and equipment recipes, meeting the needs of small-scale automation equipment.
Q: Does the MAX-4/11/03/128/08/0/0/00 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. If you need to acquire or output signals, you will need to use an external I/O expansion module.
Q: What communication interfaces does the MAX-4/11/03/128/08/0/0/00 have, and what external devices can it connect to?
A: It integrates SERCOS servo bus, Ethernet, Profibus DP, CANopen, and RS485 interfaces, and can connect to HMI touchscreens, host industrial computers, third-party frequency converters, and remote communication modules.
