MAX-4/11/03/128/99/0/0/00 is a high-performance motion controller from Schneider Electric's ELAU PacDrive MAX-4 series. It features a German-made motion control core, a 32-bit floating-point real-time processor, 128KB of program storage, and supports up to 99-axis servo synchronous control. The sixth digit of the model number is 0, indicating the absence of built-in onboard I/O modules and digital/analog terminals, retaining only basic communication and processing units. It relies on the SERCOS III bus with VCA and VDM servo drives and can connect to external independent I/O expansion modules for signal acquisition and output. Suitable for large multi-axis packaging, printing, and pharmaceutical filling equipment, the hard real-time system has a minimum motion cycle of 250μs, stably achieving various complex synchronous motion processes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the biggest difference between the MAX-4/11/03/128/99/0/0/00 and other models in the same series?
A: The sixth digit of this model's code is 0. The entire unit has no built-in onboard digital or analog I/O terminals and cannot directly connect external sensors or solenoid valves. If signal acquisition and output are required, it must be used with an external I/O expansion module.
Q: What is the maximum number of servo axes that the MAX-4/11/03/128/99/0/0/00 can control, and which drive modules are compatible?
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 128KB program storage space and can perfectly interface with all ELAU servo drives in the VDM and VCA series, achieving multi-axis coordinated motion via the SERCOS bus.
Q: What motion processes can the MAX-4/11/03/128/99/0/0/00 achieve, and what programming standards does it follow?
A: It adopts the IEC61131-3 internationally recognized PLC programming standard, supporting electronic cams, electronic gears, flying shear marking, spindle synchronous cutting, and dynamic tension closed-loop control. Its extremely short motion cycle ensures the synchronization accuracy of high-speed equipment.
