ELAU C2001011100 C200 Servo Controller

Description

Key Technical Specifications

Radwell identifies the exact unit as an ELAU PACDrive C200 programmable controller, with 128 MB RAM, 32 MB Flash, 24 VDC supply, and an ST-PC Vega processor; it also identifies the model as discontinued by the manufacturer.

PLC Europe describes the same model as a PACDrive C200 Controller, with 128 MB RAM, at least 128 MB Flash, 24 VDC, and support for up to eight SERCOS drives. The Flash-memory description differs slightly from Radwell’s 32 MB specification, so the exact memory configuration should be confirmed from the unit label or OEM documentation before procurement.

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric ELAU C2001011100, formally identified as C200/10/1/1/1/00, is a PACDrive C200 programmable motion controller used in ELAU automation architectures. It combines PLC-style control with coordinated motion control and interfaces with servo drives through the PACDrive/SERCOS architecture.

This is legacy hardware, so replacement work should focus on the complete model number, firmware, application project, SERCOS configuration, connected drive topology, and retained machine parameters. Schneider/ELAU variants should not be considered interchangeable solely because they share the family designation.

Installation & Configuration Guide

Stage 1 — Pre-Installation

1. Record the complete identification:
   • /10/1/1/1/00
   • C2001011100
   • Hardware revision
   • Firmware version
   • Serial number
2. Back up the complete PACDrive application/project.
3. Record SERCOS network configuration and connected drive addresses.
4. Back up motion parameters and machine-specific configuration data.
5. Record PLC variables, axis configuration, and startup settings.
6. Photograph all controller connections before removal.

⚠️ Do not treat -series controllers as automatically interchangeable. Confirm the complete ordering code and firmware compatibility.

Stage 2 — Removal

1. Stop the machine through the approved shutdown sequence.
2. Isolate the 24 VDC control supply according to the plant’s lockout/tagout procedure.
3. Verify that the controller and connected circuits are de-energized.
4. Apply ESD protection.
5. Label network, power, and I/O connections.
6. Disconnect the controller carefully.
7. Remove the existing controller from its mounting arrangement.

Stage 3 — Installation and Configuration

1. Inspect the replacement for physical damage and connector condition.
2. Confirm C2001011100 / /10/1/1/1/00 against the original unit.
3. Install the controller in the original position.
4. Reconnect the 24 VDC supply and communication connections.
5. Restore the approved PACDrive application.
6. Verify controller firmware compatibility.
7. Restore SERCOS configuration.
8. Confirm all connected servo drives are recognized.
9. Verify axis addressing, scaling, limits, and motion parameters.
10. Check retained variables and machine-specific startup parameters.

Stage 4 — Commissioning

1. Power the controller with the machine in a controlled maintenance state.
2. Check controller diagnostics and status indicators.
3. Verify the SERCOS network initializes correctly.
4. Confirm each configured drive is detected.
5. Check axis status without enabling machine motion.
6. Test individual axes at reduced risk and speed where permitted.
7. Verify homing/reference behavior.
8. Test interlocks, emergency-stop logic, and machine permissives.
9. Run a controlled automatic-cycle test.
10. Record firmware, project version, controller serial number, and commissioning results.

Estimated replacement time: approximately 2–4 hours for a prepared like-for-like replacement. Firmware/project restoration and SERCOS troubleshooting can extend commissioning.

⚠️ Critical: Do not enable coordinated motion until the SERCOS topology, axis parameters, travel limits, scaling, and machine safety circuits have been verified.

FAQ

What is Schneider ELAU C2001011100?

It is the part number for ELAU /10/1/1/1/00, a PACDrive programmable motion controller. The unit is manufactured under the Schneider Electric/ELAU product family.

What is the full model number?

The full model designation is /10/1/1/1/00, while C2001011100 is the corresponding compact part-number representation.

What processor does it use?

Available product documentation identifies an ST-PC Vega processor.

How much memory does have?

Radwell specifies 128 MB RAM and 32 MB Flash, while another supplier describes the Flash capacity as at least 128 MB. Because these published specifications conflict, verify the actual hardware revision and OEM documentation before using memory capacity as a compatibility criterion.

What communication system does the use for motion control?

The PACDrive architecture uses SERCOS for communication with servo drives. One supplier identifies support for up to eight SERCOS drives for this particular controller configuration.

Is discontinued?

Radwell explicitly identifies / /10/1/1/1/00 as discontinued by the manufacturer. Current secondary-market suppliers still list new, surplus, or refurbished units, so actual condition and availability should be confirmed before purchase.

Can I replace it with another PACDrive controller?

Not without checking the complete ordering code, firmware, memory configuration, SERCOS topology, application project, and connected drive configuration. A controller with a different suffix may have different hardware or firmware characteristics.

Verify precise compatibility with Schneider Electric/ELAU documentation, the installed firmware, PACDrive project, SERCOS configuration, and connected servo drives before installation.
