Schneider ELAU VDM01U15AA00 PacDrive MC-4 Single-Axis Servo Drive

Product Specification

Product Overview

The Schneider ELAU VDM01U15AA00 is a PacDrive M MC-4 single-axis digital servo drive corresponding to the technical model MC-4/11/01/400. It is designed for a three-phase 380-480 VAC power supply and provides a rated continuous motor current of 1.5 A, a one-second peak current of 3.75 A and a rated output power of 1.1 kVA.

The MC-4 combines the mains power supply, DC bus, power output stage and digital servo regulator for one machine axis in a compact cabinet-mounted unit. Communication with a compatible PacDrive controller is provided through the Sercos fiber-optic network.

VDM01U15AA00 is the complete commercial reference and should be used as the primary identifier for quotation and replacement. The technical model, firmware, hardware revision, motor type and controller project must all be confirmed before installation.

Technical Specifications

Compatible System and Applications

The VDM01U15AA00 is intended for PacDrive M automation systems using a compatible PacDrive controller, Sercos fiber-optic network and SH055 servo motor. Typical applications may include compact packaging machinery, labeling equipment, small conveyor axes, product feeders, filling machinery, printing equipment and automated handling systems.

The MC-4 operating manual restricts the 1.5 A version to firmware V00.22.XX or higher and to the SH055 motor family. Using a motor with an incompatible performance range may generate diagnostic message 138 for an impermissible motor.

Motor suitability must be confirmed from the complete motor model, electronic motor nameplate, encoder system, rated current, holding-brake configuration, cable set and machine controller project.

Maintenance and Replacement Notes

Before replacing the original drive, verify the complete VDM commercial reference, MC-4 technical model, ELAU order number, firmware version, hardware revision and PacDrive controller project. Do not assume that the AA00 suffix confirms a suitable firmware version.

Read the installed firmware directly from the drive or controller diagnostics. The 1.5 A MC-4 must use firmware V00.22.XX or higher. Also confirm that the connected motor is an approved SH055 configuration.

Record the two-digit Sercos address set by the front rotary switches and back up the machine program before disconnecting the existing drive. Verify the direction and condition of both Sercos fiber-optic cables.

Check the three-phase 380-480 VAC mains supply, 24 VDC control power, protective earth, DC bus, motor cable, encoder cable, holding-brake wiring, motor-temperature input and Inverter Enable circuit.

After replacement, verify the complete safety circuit, motor direction, machine limits, braking distance and axis operation before returning the equipment to production.

Related Models

VDM01U15AQ00 is a related 1.5 A commercial reference associated with the V00.22.XX firmware family. It shares the MC-4/11/01/400 current and voltage platform but should still be matched by complete commercial reference, firmware, hardware revision and machine project.

Related higher-current MC-4 families include VDM01U30AA00 at 3 A, VDM01U50AA00 at 5 A, VDM01D10AA00 at 10 A, VDM01D22AA00 at 22 A and VDM01D50AA00 at 50 A. These models have different current capacities, supply requirements, dimensions and motor compatibility and are not direct substitutes.

Inquiry and Supply Notes

Please provide high-resolution photographs of the complete drive nameplate, firmware information, front panel and electrical connectors when requesting a quotation. Also provide the complete SH055 motor model, PacDrive controller model and information about the installed machine project.

The commercial reference, technical model, firmware, hardware revision, motor compatibility, Sercos configuration, product condition, testing status, included accessories, availability and delivery time must be confirmed before quotation.
