Powerful, integrated, and designed for the global machine market, the EtherCAT based Parker Automation Controller (PAC) combines machine logic, real-time motion control and visualization into a standard based, performance driven, fan- less and easily mountable din rail solution. This programmable automation controller comes equipped with a native, real-time EtherCAT bus for high- speed I/O and motion control, a modular interface slot for 3rd Party device communication, standard Ethernet and USB ports plus onboard SD program storage. Programmed with the Parker Automation Manager software, OEMs can produce efficient, high- performance control systems based on the IEC61131- 3 and PLCopen Motion standards. The motion controller’s solid state design is precisely engineered for demanding industrial environments. The powerful, yet energy efficient Intel® AtomTM N2600 processor allows for fanless operation while supporting dual-cores, 64-bit instructions, and Hyperthreading technology. Coupled with the removable, solid state SD storage media, all moving parts have been eliminated for a robust, industrial grade control solution.
