SX-1 - Positioning controller repair Hardware

The SX-1 of ELAU is one of the earliest positioning controllers with an integrated PLC. In conjunction with a speed controller precise movements of machine components are accomplished. The SX-1 is expandable by plug-in hardware modules. The digital input-/output interface EA-4 provides 16 inputs and 16 outputs. The devices were designed during the 80th by ELAU in Marktheidenfeld.

The SX-1 is counted among the devices, which are discontinued. Anyhow numerous devices are still operated nowadays in all kind of machines.

We are providing comprehensive technical support to users of SX-1s to fair prices:

  • Inspection and repair.

  • Short-term spare supply in the form of overhauled devices.

  • Any second hand equipment delivered is rebuilt and tested.


In general a SX-1 works with an application related ECL programme and a parameter set which is adapted to the machine. These data are essential for running the machine. In case of a total hardware failure the ECL programme and the machine parameters get lost. This is why these data should be archived for a recovery.

Important hint: We strongly recommend to backup Your ECL programme and machine data to put into archives for being well prepared to the worst case. Please visit our Technical support for a qualified maintanance and reconditioning of your machine(s).
