Parker’s PACHC is a control module for operation with 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. The module features analog as well as digital sensor inputs.
The PACHC is connected to local analog sensors like pressure and force sensors and digital position feedback systems for recording actual values. Hydraulic valves are controlled via the analog 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
