Parker’s PACHC is a control module for operation at a Parker Automation Controller (PAC) for high-dynamic and precise control of hydraulic axes. This real-time electrohydraulic axis controller enables position, force and pressure control as well as changeover control. In conjunction with a PAC120 it is used as EtherCAT slave. It features analogue as well as digital sensor inputs.

The PACHC is connected to local analogue sensors like pressure and force sensors and digital position feedback systems for recording actual values. Hydraulic valves are controlled via the analogue outputs. Due to its extremely compact dimensions and its modular design, the PACHC can be used in many different applications.

Markets:
• Industry
• Machine tools
• Molding

Features/benefits:
• Position, force, pressure and change-over control for 1-2 hydraulic axes – two or more valves with only one unit
• Sampling time 250 µs – extremely fast cycle times e.g. for die casting applications
• Modular system – can be optimally adapted to the respective application with additional modules
• Compact dimensions – requires less mounting space in the cabinet
• Free-of-charge preconfigured software modules (with PAC) – lower programming effort and faster commissioning
• Customized software solutions (with PAC) on request
• Hard- and software from a single source – simplifies purchasing and service

Applications:
• Suitable for general hydraulic applications
• Presses
• Die Casting
• Metal forming
• Machine tools
• Injection molding

Parker Automation Controller PAC120
The Parker Automation Controller PAC120 is a PLC with integrated, programmable software and EtherCAT master function. It was developed for the automation of fast and precise hydraulic processes. Together with the control module PACHC, it 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. Through its compact dimensions and its modular design, it can be used in various applications.

Parker Remote I/O System PACIO
The PACIO System comprises a variety of modules for digital, analog and temperature signals as well as communication interfaces. The modules connect directly to the controller via the built-in EtherCAT bus for local architectures and are extended to remote locations via the extender and bus coupler modules, thus supporting both local and distributed I/O architectures. PACIO communicates natively on the EtherCAT bus, therefore it provides the full functionality and throughput of high-speed EtherCAT to meet the most demanding real-time requirements.
