Powerful, integrated, and designed for the global machine market, the EtherCAT based Parker Automation Controller (PAC) helps OEMs produce efficient, high-performance control systems  based on the IEC 61131-3 and PLCopen Motion standards. The PAC combines machine logic, signal handling and high-speed motion control into a standard based, performance driven, fan-less and easily mountable din rail solution. This programmable automation controller comes equipped with a native, uninterrupted 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. The PAC is programmed with the Parker Automation Manager software, an Integrated Development environment, where a user can program their entire machine in one software platform.
