MAX-4/11/03/128/99/1/0/00 is the Schneider Electric ELAU PacDrive MAX-4 series high-performance motion controller, featuring a German-made industrial control core unit, a 32-bit high-speed floating-point processor, and support for up to 99-axis servo synchronous linkage. It has 128KB of built-in program storage. Compared to the 1/1 version in the same series, this model lacks built-in analog input/output, retaining only digital I/O and standard communication interfaces. It relies on the SERCOS III bus and is compatible with VDM and VCA servo drives, making it suitable for multi-axis synchronous equipment in food packaging, printing and cutting, and pharmaceutical filling. Equipped with the VxWorks real-time system, its logic and motion calculation cycle is as low as 250μs, meeting the requirements of complex high-speed processes such as flying shears and electronic cams.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the core difference between the MAX-4/11/03/128/99/1/0/00 and the version with the suffix 1/1?
A: Both controllers have identical computing power, maximum number of axes, and communication specifications. This model has a suffix of 0 and no built-in analog input/output channels. External expansion modules are required to acquire analog signals such as tension and pressure. The 1/1 version has 2 AI channels and 2 AO channels for analog input/output.
Q: What is the maximum number of servo axes that the MAX-4/11/03/128/99/1/0/00 can control, and what servo drive is it compatible with?
A: It supports up to 99 servo axes in synchronous linkage, with a built-in 128KB program memory; it is perfectly compatible with the VDM series and the entire VCA07/VCA09 ELAU servo drive series, and the entire SERCOS bus system has high synchronization accuracy.
Q: What debugging and diagnostic functions does the MAX-4/11/03/128/99/1/0/00 come with?
A: It has a built-in 8-channel software waveform oscilloscope and fault log storage function. Combined with the machine's running and fault indicator lights, it can quickly troubleshoot bus, servo, and I/O point anomalies, making equipment debugging and maintenance more efficient.
