PacDrive MC-4 Motion Control and Drive Interface

The MC-4/11/10/400 converts the 380-480 V AC three-phase input into a controlled 0-480 V AC motor output with an output frequency range of 0-600 Hz. Its 10 A RMS continuous current rating and 33 A peak current capability support closed-loop motor control under defined overload conditions.

SERCOS II provides the fiber optic motion communication interface. The drive supports position, velocity, and torque control modes and accepts feedback from EnDat 2.2, HIPERFACE DSL, and Resolver devices. The 16 kHz switching frequency defines the inverter switching operation, while internal fan cooling removes heat generated during drive operation.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the servo drive in an enclosure suitable for its IP20 protection rating. Maintain the required electrical clearances and provide sufficient airflow around the internal fan cooling path.

Connect the three-phase AC supply according to the applicable MC-4 installation documentation and verify the supply voltage before energizing the unit. The 24 V DC control supply should be wired separately from the motor power circuit.

Route motor power cables separately from feedback and communication wiring to reduce electromagnetic coupling. Use the specified feedback cable and connector arrangement for the selected EnDat 2.2, HIPERFACE DSL, or Resolver interface.

For the SERCOS II fiber optic connection, observe the specified fiber routing and bend-radius requirements. Do not place fiber cables under mechanical stress or route them through areas exposed to excessive heat or crushing forces.

Verify protective grounding, cable shielding, connector seating, and motor feedback polarity before commissioning. Confirm that the connected motor and feedback device are compatible with the configured servo-drive parameters.
