ELAU PacDrive M Training
PacDrive 3 Training
Different ways to complete your training
Off-site training
Training at our offices is designed to replicate your production environment using our Test Rigs. Hands-on and interactive training courses designed to ensure you gain theoretical and practical experience you can take back with you. Led by an experienced engineer who has worked with the ELAU PacDrive system for many years.
On-site training
Online training
Live ONLINE training sessions no matter your location. Our LIVE ONLINE courses cover all the relevant material of our hands-on courses, comprising topics required to allow you to solve most ELAU PacDrive issues at work. This can be further complimented with a site visit to help you put your new knowledge into practice.
What we can offer
Our training courses are led by experienced instructors who have worked with the ELAU PacDrive system for many years and have in depth knowledge of production lines and automation. They contain a combination of PowerPoint presentations, hands-on exercises and expert tips and tricks.
The material is based on PacDrive Service Tools and PacDrive Documentation. The courses aim to provide engineers with the knowledge and skills to enable them to diagnose, fault find and maintain machines with ELAU PacDrive systems in a safe and competent manner.
- Q & A sessions with instructor
- Direct interaction with other users
- Focus completely on learning by being away from your usual working environment
- Hands-on exercises giving you a chance to experiment with the tools and practice concepts covered during the sessions.

FAQ
What do the courses focus on?
Our courses are built around breakdown support and the day-to-day maintenance of your ELAU PacDrive system to help engineers improve diagnostics and fault-finding skills they need most. You will also cover practical tasks, such as substituting motors, drives and controllers, software, safety wiring and the inverter enable circuit, EMC and backing up machines, so your team can keep production running with less reliance on outside suppliers.
Do you accommodate specific requests if asked?
We can offer bespoke sessions as well as on-site and online training courses. If there is anything specific you need covered please mention it to us when you schedule the training and we will let you know if we can include it or not. For example, some clients like to look at example diagnostics and projects (Module 2) they have brought with them.
How long is a typical course?
Each module at DMC runs for one day, from 9:30am to 4:30pm. If we are doing on-site training then we can combine theoretical training with hands-on exercises with your machines, so your engineers leave with both the understanding and the practical experience to apply it. In this case we do need to add half -day to look at machines.
How many people can attend?
We recommend up to 4 attendees per training session. Keeping numbers small means every engineer gets time on the equipment, direct interaction with the instructor and the room and the chance to work through problems rather than just watch.
What will the training entail?
Each session is led by experienced engineers who have worked with ELAU PacDrive for many years and combines presentations with hands-on exercises. Depending on the system, the course moves from a system and hardware overview through communication with the controllers and servomotors to substituting hardware, and safety wiring. Meanwhile, more advanced modules cover the software side, whether that is EPAS for PacDrive M or SoMachine Motion for PacDrive 3, including configuration and application troubleshooting. On-site training adds practice directly with your own equipment.
Do you simulate work emergencies during the training?
We have hands-on exercises which are designed around the real faults engineers meet on the line. On our test rigs we can simulate diagnostic messages so your team learns to read the codes and trace a fault back to its cause. When we train on-site, we can go further and work through issues directly on your own equipment.
Is there a one-to-one consultation at the end of the session?
Courses at DMC bring together engineers from several different companies, so they do not include individual consultation.
What happens if we have questions after we have returned to our sites?
If we know you have attended a session, we can answer any questions you may have.
Do you provide certificates for training?
Yes, we issue certificates as proof of training
Do you provide any service tools which are used during training?
All service tools used in training are given out on a USB at the end of the session.
Do we need to bring laptops or other equipment with us?
We will supply the laptops and training rigs, fully equipped with all the necessary software and training materials, ready for use during the training sessions
