The AC30 variable speed drive range has been designed to provide users with exceptional levels of control, from simple open-loop pumps and fans through to closed-loop process line applications. Its flexible and highly modular construction enables a wide range of communications and I/O modules to be easily added as required. The AC30 has been designed with simplicity in mind, but this doesn't compromise its functionality. Integrated macros for a range of applications and PLC functionality enable more capable users to create sophisticated control that would previously have required a separate PLC. Designed for operation in environment class 3C3 and 3C4 for Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) as standard (tested at 25 ppm for 1200 hours), temperatures up to 50 °C with optional integrated EMC filter to C2 1st environment and DC link choke to reduce line harmonics. AC30 also complies with RoHS substance restrictions in accordance with EC Directive 2011/65/EU.

Parker provides easy to use software tools for all levels of experience; enabling users to address any application. Simple applications can be setup in seconds and more complex applications can be configured in the simplest and most logical way. Programming can be via the keypad, Parker Drive QuickTool software or DSE Lite. The AC30 provides users with access to a large library of application macros and worked examples. While users are free to develop their own applications, they can also save time and development cost by accessing and customizing examples of completed solutions.
