PDC-1301 by Sanyo Denki

The PDC-1301 from Sanyo Denki is a precision drive controller in the SANDIC Digital Controllers series engineered for demanding industrial automation environments. This panel-mount unit operates on an Input Voltage of 100-240 VAC at an Operating Frequency of 50/60 Hz, delivering robust performance with a nominal Power Consumption of Approximately 1.2 kW. Housed in a Material-grade Stainless Steel enclosure, the controller measures Dimensions of 120 x 80 x 50 mm and weighs 1.5 kg, making it compact yet durable. With a Protection Rating of IP65 and compliance to Compliance standards including UL and CE, the PDC-1301 offers both safety and reliability for long-term operation in harsh conditions.

Technical capabilities of the PDC-1301 are extensive. It employs a Control Type that combines digital control with precision Analog Outputs to generate an Output Voltage range of 0-10 VDC for seamless integration with servo drives and actuators. Communication is handled via the Communication Protocol MODBUS interface, providing real-time data exchange and diagnostics. The controller’s Cooling Method is natural convection, ensuring efficient thermal management without moving parts. Installation is simplified by the Mounting Type panel mount design, which allows rapid deployment in control cabinets. The unit’s internal architecture guarantees stable operation across an Operating Temperature window of -10°C to +50°C, supported by a Warranty period of 12 months.

Operationally, the PDC-1301 excels in reliability and maintenance ease. Its sturdy Stainless Steel housing resists vibration and mechanical stress, while integrated LED indicators convey status and alarms at a glance. The controller autonomously detects operational anomalies and communicates error codes via its front-panel LEDs, reducing downtime and simplifying troubleshooting. Natural convection cooling removes excess heat quietly and with no additional power draw, enhancing energy efficiency. The device’s compact Dimensions and lightweight design facilitate mounting in constrained spaces without sacrificing accessibility or performance.

Integration of the PDC-1301 into existing systems is seamless. The panel-mount form factor aligns with standard control cabinet layouts, and the MODBUS Communication Protocol ensures compatibility with PLCs and HMIs across various brands. With its IP65 rating, the controller can be installed in semi-protected environments, while proper grounding guarantees electrical safety. Ideal for machine tools, packaging machinery, robotics and other industrial automation applications, the PDC-1301 offers a versatile, high-performance solution for motion control and power management.
