Designed for the global machine market, the powerful Parker Automation Controller (PAC) combines machine logic, signal handling, advanced high-speed motion, and visualization into one performance-driven solution. With industry-leading EtherCAT communication for motion and I/O, and the Parker Automation Manager IDE for application development, the PAC provides OEMs an engineered solution for the most demanding applications, a single, intuitive environment for development with industry standard programming, machine-to-machine communication, and network connectivity to provide real-time information where—and when—it’s needed.
Engineered to easily integrate into existing plant networks and provide for third-party device connectivity, the PAC comes standard with a variety of onboard communication protocols, including an OPC Server, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT, dual LAN networks, and options for Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and Profibus.
The PAC will be offered with three technology levels and two embedded visualization options:
Technology Levels
• IEC61131 programming
• IEC61131 programming w/ PLCopen Motion Control
• IEC61131 programming w/ PLCopen Motion Control, CNC & Robotics
Embedded Visualizations
• Xpress Embedded
• Web-visualization for CNC
