ELAU PacDrive C400/10/1/1/1/00 Motion Controller PacDrive System Industrial Automation Controller Unit

The ELAU PacDrive C400/10/1/1/1/00 is an industrial motion controller designed for distributed servo automation systems.

It serves as the central controller in the PacDrive architecture and coordinates multiple MC-4 servo drives through high-speed fiber optic communication using the SERCOS protocol.

The system enables precise multi-axis synchronization for complex automation applications such as packaging machines, printing systems, and material handling equipment.

Unlike standalone drive units, the C400 controller does not directly power motors. Instead, it manages motion logic, synchronization, and real-time control of connected servo drives.

This architecture allows scalable and modular machine design with high determinism and industrial reliability.
