13130251-008 Schneider Electric – ELAU PacDrive MAX-4 Motion Controller
The part number 13130251-008 identifies an ELAU PacDrive MAX-4 controller, now part of the Schneider Electric portfolio. The MAX-4 is the central controller of the PacDrive M system. It runs the machine logic and synchronises the servo axes, communicating over a SERCOS fibre-optic ring with PacDrive MC-4 servo drives and iSH intelligent servo motors. If a MAX-4 fails, every axis it controls stops, so having the exact replacement available quickly is essential to get the machine running again.

Understanding MAX-4 Labelling
MAX-4 controllers carry two identifiers on their label:
- Type designation: for example MAX-4/11/03/128/…, which describes the hardware configuration
- ELAU article number: for example 13130251-008, where the suffix identifies the specific variant
When replacing a controller, check both identifiers, together with the hardware and firmware versions shown on the label. This ensures the replacement is compatible with the machine’s existing PacDrive application and drives.
Where MAX-4 Controllers Are Found
PacDrive M systems with MAX-4 controllers have been installed on high-speed packaging, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and printing machinery worldwide. Many of these machines are still in production and depend on original PacDrive spare parts.
