Product Information
The Elau 13130247 MC-4/11/10/400 is a compact digital AC servo drive within the PacDrive M family, engineered for precise multi-axis motion control in centralized packaging, printing, and material handling applications. Operating on a 3-phase AC input supply voltage ranging from 342 V AC to 528 V AC at 50/60 Hz, this servo inverter requires a 24 V DC auxiliary control supply and operates with a nominal 560 V DC bus voltage. The unit delivers a continuous output current of 10 A and a peak output current of 30 A for up to one second, corresponding to an apparent output power rating of 7 kVA. Housed in an IP20 rated enclosure, the drive includes an integrated 47 Ohm braking resistor, two fast digital touchprobe inputs, and a front-panel diagnostic interface.
Interfacing with host controllers via an optical SERCOS II real-time bus running at 16 Mbit/s, the MC-4/11/10/400 integrates with Elau PacDrive C400, C600, and MAX-4 controllers. Physical connectivity includes dual motor feedback ports—supporting resolver signals through a 9-pin D-sub interface and high-resolution Stegmann Hiperface SinCos encoders through a 15-pin D-sub interface—alongside hardware inputs for Safe Torque Off (STO) certified to IEC 61508 SIL 2 and EN 954-1 Category 3. When replacing an existing unit, hardware commissioning is simplified because operating parameters, velocity profiles, and axis configurations are managed centrally by the PacDrive controller and downloaded automatically over SERCOS upon boot. Technicians need only set the hardware SERCOS node address using the front-panel S1 and S2 hex rotary switches before restoring operation, with ABC Industrial Parts available to supply tested spare units.
System state and active operational conditions are indicated on the drive front panel via a 2-digit 7-segment display that shows SERCOS initialization phases from P0 to P4, warning codes A0 to A9, and fault numbers 01 to 99. Dedicated status LEDs H7 and H8 provide visual verification of SERCOS optical ring communication and power stage readiness. First-line troubleshooting should include checking the 24 V DC control voltage at the drive terminals, verifying mains AC supply voltage and input line fuses, inspecting fiber optic cables for proper bending radius, and verifying that the STO safety input circuit is closed. Internal component failures or short circuits on the power stage are not field-serviceable, and sourcing a replacement drive from ABC Industrial Parts offers a fast path back to full production.

Programming and Configuration
The Elau MC-4/11/10/400 servo drive is configured and commissioned through EPAS-4 engineering software, which manages motion control parameters and multi-axis configurations within the PacDrive M platform. Drive parameters, motor profiles, thermal models, and controller gain settings are held inside the primary EPAS-4 project and loaded onto the central controller rather than stored on local drive memory.
During initial startup or unit replacement, the central PacDrive controller executes an automatic parameter download over the SERCOS II optical bus. Once the node address is set on the hardware, the drive downloads its entire configuration from the master controller during boot, avoiding manual drive programming or file transfers during field service.
Communication and System Integration
Real-time motion synchronization is maintained via a 16 Mbit/s SERCOS II fiber optic interface. Dual SMA optical connectors on the front panel allow the MC-4/11/10/400 to join a noise-immune optical ring connected directly to Elau PacDrive C400, C600, or MAX-4 master controllers, supporting multi-axis synchronization in packaging and printing machinery.
Feedback connections are provided through dedicated front connectors: a 9-pin D-sub port supports analog resolver signals, and a 15-pin D-sub port interfaces with high-resolution Stegmann Hiperface SinCos absolute encoders. System safety integration is handled via integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs, disabling power stage output according to IEC 61508 SIL 2 and EN 954-1 Category 3 standards while maintaining control power.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
Local status monitoring is available on the front panel through a 2-digit 7-segment display and two LED indicators. The numeric display presents SERCOS initialization steps (P0 through P4), active system warnings (A0 through A9), and fault codes (01 through 99). Detailed diagnostic logs and active message histories are accessible using EPAS-4 Message Logger software.
Visual system feedback is further detailed by LEDs H7 and H8. LED H7 reflects SERCOS communication status, illuminating solid green when the optical ring is closed and flashing red if an optical transmission fault occurs. LED H8 indicates inverter status, showing solid green when active and ready, red during active fault states, or off if the 24 V DC auxiliary power is absent.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 7-Segment Display | Red - Numeric/Alpha | Displays 2-digit operational state, SERCOS initialization phase (P0-P4), warnings (A0-A9), or fault code numbers (01-99) |
| H7 (SERCOS LED) | Green / Red - Solid / Flashing | Green = SERCOS fiber ring communication established and operating normally. Red/Flashing = Fiber optic transmission interruption or SERCOS network fault. |
| H8 (Ready LED) | Green / Red - Solid / Off | Green = Inverter ready / power stage active. Red = Drive fault active. Off = 24 V DC control supply missing or power stage uninitialized. |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
Replacing an Elau 13130247 MC-4/11/10/400 drive requires minimal physical setup due to the centralized parameter management of the PacDrive M platform. Before powering up a replacement unit, technicians must match the front-panel hex rotary switches (S1 and S2) to the SERCOS node address of the original drive. When the master controller powers up, it detects the node and automatically downloads all parameters over the optical bus.
Care should be taken when handling optical fibers during hardware replacement. SMA connectors must be kept free of contaminants using optical cleaning materials, and cables must maintain their required minimum bending radius to prevent signal attenuation. In addition, 24 V DC auxiliary supply, 3-phase AC line voltage, STO safety terminals, and encoder feedback wiring should be confirmed prior to applying main power.
