APC-400C-4 by Sanyo Denki

The Sanyo Denki APC-400C-4 position controller from the High Accuracy Absolute Encoders series is a precision industrial automation device designed to deliver reliable motion control. As a position controller with a nominal output power of 400 W and a constant output current of 4 A, it provides the consistent performance required for demanding positioning applications. Incorporating a 400 V DC bus rating, the APC-400C-4 excels in high-power scenarios, enabling smooth and accurate motor control across various industrial processes.

Engineered for versatility, the APC-400C-4 supports multi-mode control (position, speed, torque) and integrates a RS-485 communication interface for seamless networked operation. Its internal fan-cooled design ensures effective thermal management under continuous load, while a 150% overload capacity for short duration provides headroom for peak demands. The multi-layer PCB construction, featuring precision potentiometers and high-quality capacitors, minimizes electrical noise and ensures stable signal integrity. Built-in overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection further safeguard both the controller and connected equipment.

Durability and compatibility are at the core of the APC-400C-4’s design. Operating reliably from -10°C to +55°C, it withstands a wide range of environmental conditions without sacrificing precision. Compact dimensions of 120 mm x 80 mm x 190 mm and a lightweight 4 kg enclosure facilitate integration into tight control cabinets. Encoder-compatible feedback and robust blue multi-pin connectors simplify installation and maintenance. Certified for industrial environments, this controller ensures optimized productivity, reduced downtime, and enhanced control accuracy for advanced automation systems.
