Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy
This product is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned plant, and not refurbished. All modules undergo rigorous quality verification to ensure OEM-level reliability.
The ELAU C400A811110 (PacDrive C400 A8) is a high-performance industrial motion controller engineered for complex, multi-axis packaging, robotics, and material handling systems. Sourcing this module as New Surplus represents a vital supply chain strategy for production facilities operating legacy ELAU PacDrive systems. Purchasing factory-fresh New Surplus hardware eliminates the severe risks of processor failure and corrupted memory registers common in second-hand or repaired units, while bypassing the extended lead times of obsolete OEM distribution networks.
Installation & Configuration Guide
1.Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety):Disconnect 24 VDC logic power and apply LOTO.
Isolate main control cabinet 24 VDC logic feeds and execute Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures. Wear an ESD-grounded wrist strap connected to the chassis frame. Document all cable routing, fieldbus drops, and terminal connections using clear photos.
2.Removal:Unplug fieldbus connectors and release chassis.
Disconnect serial, Ethernet, PacNet, and Profibus cables by pulling straight back on connector bodies. Remove terminal block plugs for I/O and power. Unscrew chassis mounting hardware and carefully dismount the controller unit from the backplane.
3.Installation (Clone & Seat):Mount new controller and transfer memory card.
Mount the new C400A811110 controller securely on the panel backplane. Transfer the system compact flash memory card (containing project parameters and motion program) from the original unit into the new card slot. Reconnect all communication harnesses and terminal blocks.
4.Power-On & Testing:Verify 24 VDC rail stability and observe boot sequence.
Verify 24 VDC input voltage with a multimeter before energizing. Restore power and monitor the LCD display boot diagnostic routine. Confirm the controller enters ‘READY’ or ‘RUN’ mode without reporting CANbus or encoder synchronization faults.

Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes
- Software Platform: The PacDrive C400 operates within the EPAS-4 or PacDrive Software Suite environments.
- Firmware Retention: System microcode and motion application code reside on the removable CompactFlash card. Swapping the original CF card into the new C400A811110 unit preserves system parameters without requiring PC re-programming.
- Hardware Variant Matching: Ensure the sub-variant designation (A8) matches your original hardware model to guarantee identical fieldbus port assignments and processor execution speeds.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this ELAU C400A811110 motion controller genuinely brand new surplus?
A: Yes, this unit is 100% Genuine New Surplus. It has never been commissioned on a factory floor or installed in an active control panel. We enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy against refurbished, repaired, or used equipment.
Q: Why choose New Surplus over a lower-cost refurbished ELAU controller?
A: Refurbished motion controllers frequently suffer from thermal-stressed onboard capacitors, loose surface-mount connectors, and degraded memory circuits. Buying New Surplus ensures factory-grade component integrity and prevents sudden downtime on high-speed packaging lines.
Q: Will I need to reprogram the controller after installing this new unit?
A: If you transfer your original CompactFlash card into the memory slot of the new C400A811110 unit, the controller will boot using your existing program, parameters, and network settings.
Q: Can I hot-swap the controller while the 24 VDC supply is live?
A: No. Disconnecting or plugging in terminal connections or fieldbus cables while control power is active can damage internal communication transceivers and trigger logic faults across connected servo drives.
Q: What warranty coverage comes with this motion controller?
A: Every ELAU New Surplus unit includes a comprehensive 1-year functional replacement warranty. Each unit undergoes full mechanical, visual, and power-on verification prior to shipment.
