ELAU PacDrive drives - MC-4/01

The PacDrive family offers a broad power range.
It can handle everything from paper converting
to palletizing.

The digital MC-4 motor controller is characterized
by its compact and independent structure with wall
mounting fixtures as well as state-of-the-art technology.
The innovative MC-4 has the power supply unit, the power
output stage and the software controller for an axis all
in one casing, which saves space. As it communicates with
the controllers only via fiber-optic cables, it is also suitable
for distributed structures. It requires no user program, processes
single- or multi-turn encoders in the standard version and configures
itself with the help of the electronic type plate in the motor.

Though MC-4 motor controller are optimized for servo motors of
the PacDrive SH series, torque and linear motors can be controlled
as well, if they are equipped with appropriate feedback technology.
