The Parker Automation Controller PAC120 was developed for the automation of fast and precise hydraulic processes. The compact PLC enables higher efficiency and product quality in demanding applications like presses and die casting. Parker’s Automation Controller PAC120 was developed for the automation of fast and precise hydraulic processes. Together with the control module PACHC, the compact PLC with integrated, programmable software and EtherCAT master function enables the position and force/pressure control of up to 40 hydraulic axes. In combination with the PACIO modules it can take over complete control. Due to its extremely compact dimensions and its modular design, the PAC120 can be used in many different applications. Data exchange with other systems is firstly possible via the on-board Industrial Ethernet and OPC UA interfaces. In addition, further communication links can be realized by use of interface and bus modules. This also facilitates system integration in existing control architectures. Using an extender module enables to actuate external EtherCAT slaves. Markets: • Industry • Machine tools • Molding Features/benefits: • A single integrated development environment for programming logic, IO, visualization and motion – reduces time for application development • Optimized for control of presses and die casting machines with two or more control valves • IEC61131-3 and PLCopen Motion – standardized programming • Modular system – can be optimally adapted to the respective application with additional modules • Compact dimensions – requires less mounting space in the cabinet
