Description
Product Overview
The ELAU MC-4/11/05/230 is a PacDrive MC-4 servo drive designed for synchronized motion-control applications in automated machinery. It provides a 230 VAC-class power interface and a 5 Aeff motor output rating, making it suitable for controlling compatible ELAU servo motors in packaging, converting, and other machine-automation systems. The unit operates from single- or three-phase 220–240 VAC input and uses a 24 VDC control supply. Technical documentation specifies a 1.9 kVA rated power at the 5 Aeff configuration, together with an internal braking circuit for controlled DC-bus energy management. The drive uses the PacDrive control architecture and is associated with SERCOS-based motion communication.

Installation and Maintenance — MC-4/11/05/230
Before installation, verify the incoming mains voltage, motor rating, feedback type, control-voltage supply, and cabinet grounding arrangement. The manufacturer specifically warns that incorrect connection voltage can damage the drive. Motor cables and feedback wiring should also be separated and routed according to the applicable EMC requirements.
During replacement, record the existing hardware revision, SERCOS configuration, motor parameters, feedback settings, and braking-resistor configuration. Check the DC bus and allow adequate discharge time before servicing. Inspect terminals, cooling paths, and connectors for signs of heat damage or contamination.
Personally, I would verify the exact motor and feedback combination before commissioning a replacement. Matching only the drive current rating is not enough when the PacDrive application depends on stored motor parameters and synchronized axis configuration.
Product Warranty — MC-4/11/05/230
Warranty coverage depends on the supplier and the unit’s condition, including new, unused surplus, refurbished, or tested spare stock. Procurement records should include the exact part number, hardware/software revision, serial number, inspection status, and applicable return terms.
The ELAU MC-4/11/05/230 is a legacy PacDrive servo drive rated for 230 VAC-class machine power and 5 Aeff motor output. Its exact electrical and motion-control configuration should be matched to the installed PacDrive system before purchase or field replacement.
