ES200 automatic sliding door Mini Drive Unit

ES200 MDU is a modular driving and control unit consists of a microprocessor controller (ES200 controller - Basic Module), an original Dunker motor by Dunkermotoren Taicang (China), and a universal switching power supply (working voltage 90-230V). Three components are fixed on a metal skeleton as an integrated unit to be mounted on ES 200 automatic sliding door operator. It’s the core of ES200 system and fully compatible with Dorma ES200 automatic sliding door opener.

Key Specifications

• Product Name: ES200 Mini Drive Unit (MDU) — the pre-assembled drive core for the Dorma Sliding Door Operator family; designed to drop into ES 200 headers for fast, repeatable installs and servicing.

• Platform Fit: Works with the ES200 Operator platform (Standard), ES 200 EASY, and regional ES 200 variants; telescopic and escape-route versions use the same MDU concept with model-specific limits.

• What the ES200 MDU includes: Controller (BM), Dunkermotoren GR 63×55 motor, universal power supply (≈90–230 V), and a steel mounting backbone — factory grouped to reduce variables on site.

• Header formats: Supports 100 mm and 150 mm headers with compact depth; documented endurance ≈1 million cycles in ES-series literature.

• Performance context (operator level): Typical published envelopes for ES 200 are 1 × 200 kg (single) or 2 × 160 kg (bi-parting). ES 200 EASY is commonly 2 × 100 kg.

• Control architecture: Modular Basic Module (BM) plus optional Function Module (FM); DCW® bus for sensors and peripherals; commissioning via integrated display.

• Safety & Standards: Designed to be commissioned to EN 16005 / DIN 18650 when paired with compliant sensing/edge protection.

• Motor notes (for specifiers): The GR 63×55 brushed DC drive used with ES 200 runs at nominal ≈95–100 W with ≈3,300–3,350 rpm speed; proven in sliding-door duty.

FAQ

Q1. What’s the difference between a “Dorma Sliding Door Operator,” an “ES200 Operator,” and the “ES200 MDU / ES200 kit”?
A. The ES200 Operator is the full automatic operator. The ES200 MDU is the pre-assembled core (motor + controller + PSU + backbone). An ES200 kit usually means a bundle configured for rebuilds (e.g., MDU plus running gear), reducing guesswork and install time.

Q2. Will the ES200 mini drive unit work in my existing header?
A. In most like-for-like professional retrofits: yes. ES 200 headers share 100/150 mm formats and the controller uses standardized I/O and DCW bus, so your program switch, sensors, and lock interfaces can typically be retained after verification.

Q3. How does the MDU reduce downtime compared with piecemeal parts?
A. The MDU is industrially prefabricated and tested as a single module, so techs bolt it in, connect a few harnesses, set parameters on the integrated display, run the learn cycle, and hand over — fewer variables, fewer callbacks.

Q4. What capacities can I expect after upgrade?
A. Capabilities depend on the operator variant and glazing, but ES 200 documentation lists 1 × 200 kg single leaf or 2 × 160 kg bi-parting; ES 200 EASY commonly 2 × 100 kg. Always confirm variant and door makeup.

Q5. We operate in healthcare/retail. Will noise and force levels improve?
A. Replacing a tired drive with an ES200 MDU returns the system to factory friction and control profiles, which usually lowers acoustic signature and keeps force limits where EN 16005 expects — provided running gear and sensors are in spec.

Q6. Is the MDU compatible with telescopic or escape-route configurations?
A. The MDU concept spans ES 200 variants, with tel esco pic (ES 200 T) and escape-route (ES 200-2D) using model-specific ratings and options.

Q7. What’s typically inside an ES200 kit from a service supplier?
A. Expect the MDU (BM + motor + PSU + backbone) and, optionally, trolleys, belt, end buffers depending on your chosen package — a pragmatic refresh of high-wear parts in one visit.

Q8. Can we commission it without a laptop?
A. Yes. ES-series controllers allow parameterization on the integrated display (speeds, hold-open, modes) and a guided learn run to map stroke and stops.

Q9. What should I check before ordering to ensure the right ES200 kit?
A. Confirm header height (100/150 mm), door configuration (single/bi-parting), target capacities, and whether you want BM-only logic or FM options (airlock, status contacts, synchronous mode). Photos inside the header help remote part matching.

Product Description

If you’re a facilities leader or contractor responsible for uptime, tenant experience, and compliance, the ES200 Mini Drive Unit is the most impactful single upgrade you can make to a Dorma Sliding Door Operator fleet. It condenses the controller (BM), Dunkermotoren GR 63×55 drive, universal power supply, and mounting backbone into one pre-assembled, factory-tested module — eliminating the part-by-part uncertainty that stretches service windows and invites callbacks.

Designed around real-world constraints. In retail galleries, hospital corridors, and transit hubs, a service window is measured in minutes. The MDU’s drop-in format trims installation steps to the essentials: mount, connect, parameterize, learn, test. Because the module is assembled and tested industrially, you’re not debugging random wiring or component tolerances — you’re restoring known-good drive behavior fast. That predictability translates to fewer nuisance reversals, smoother acceleration, and quieter travel right where customers and staff notice.

A scalable control philosophy. The ES200 Operator family uses a modular control stack: start with the Basic Module (BM) for core modes (Automatic, Permanent Open, Partial, Exit-Only, Night/Bank), then add the Function Module (FM) for door-status outputs, edge protection, airlock, synchronous and other enterprise features as your site evolves — without rebuilding the header. The DCW® bus simplifies activator/sensor integration and keeps commissioning consistent across locations.

Capacity with headroom. ES 200 literature documents 1 × 200 kg single-leaf and 2 × 160 kg bi-parting envelopes; ES 200 EASY is commonly 2 × 100 kg. That headroom matters when you upgrade glazing (laminated/acoustic) or contend with stack-effect pressures. The ES200 mini drive unit re-establishes the force and speed curves your controller expects, helping you meet EN 16005 / DIN 18650 force-limit expectations when paired with compliant sensing.

What buyers want to know:

• Will it fit my existing assets? The MDU is built for 100/150 mm ES-series headers and reuses existing rails, covers, and most peripherals after verification — ideal for standardized rollouts across a portfolio.

• How quickly can I be back online? Field techs consistently save time because the motor/PSU/controller arrive as one unit; parameterization and the learn run are done on the built-in display.

• What about future upgrades? Add the FM later for airlocks, status contacts, or synchronous operation — your initial investment remains valid.

• How does it compare with piecemeal replacements? A bundled ES200 kit addresses multiple wear points (drive core + running gear), improving first-time-fix rates and reducing truck rolls.

• Is the motor robust enough for heavy doors? The GR 63×55 drive used in ES 200 applications delivers the torque and speed profile proven in high-cycle sliding doors worldwide.

What’s included

• ES200 controller (BM)

• Dunkermotoren GR 63×55 30 V motor

• Universal power supply 90–230 V

• Steel mounting backbone
  This forms the core of an ES200 kit; you can add trolleys, belt, end stops, sensors as your project requires.

Commissioning checklist:

1. Mount the MDU/backbone and align the belt line; confirm carriage roll and anti-rise settings.

2. Wire PSU, program switch, sensors, and lock devices via DCW/I-O.

3. Set speeds, hold-open time, and modes on the integrated display; run the auto-learn stroke.

4. Prove Automatic, Partial, Exit-Only, Night/Bank and validate sensing/edges to your local code.

Who is this for?

• Facility managers seeking predictable uptime, lower acoustic impact, and consistent compliance across multiple entrances.

• Door service providers who want fewer variables, faster turnarounds, and portfolio-standard commissioning steps.

• Project specifiers needing a Dorma Sliding Door Operator solution that scales from a simple ES200 kit to feature-rich enterprise deployments.

Bottom line: The ES200 MDU gives you a known-good drive core for the ES200 Operator platform. It installs fast, scales with your building, and restores the smooth, quiet motion customers expect — the easiest path to modernize a Dorma Sliding Door Operator without overhauling the entire entrance.
