Parker’s powerful automation controller is built for demanding applications

The Parker programmable automation controller (PAC)

When industrial equipment needs to excel in precision control, businesses across Canada turn to Wainbee Limited. One of the top choices in this field is Parker Hannifin’s powerful programmable automation controller, or PAC. This EtherCAT-based instrument is designed for the global machine market, with a solid-state design engineered precisely for demanding work environments. The device blends machine logic, signal handling, and high-speed motion control into a standard-based, performance-driven, fan-less, and easily mountable din rail solution.

For efficient, high-performance control systems

The PAC is an automation controller that comes with a native, uninterrupted EtherCAT bus for high-speed I/O and motion control, as well as a modular interface slot for third-party device communication, standard Ethernet and USB ports, and onboard SD program storage. By programming the device with the Parker Automation Manager software, manufacturing companies can produce efficient and high-performance control systems based on the IEC 61131-3 and PLCopen Motion standards.

Another advantage of this instrument is the powerful, energy-efficient Intel Atom N2600 processor, which enables fan-less operation as it supports dual-cores, 64-bit instructions, and Hyperthreading technology. For a robust, industrial-grade control solution, Parker has eliminated all moving parts and integrated the PAC with removable, solid-state SD storage media.

This automation controller from Wainbee serves users with a standards-based solution that consolidates advanced logic, multi-axis motion, signal handling, and web-published visualization into one device. In this way, the PAC increases developer efficiency as it eliminates the necessity for extra hardware and communication links. Other features and benefits: a single, intuitive environment for application development; industry-standard programming; machine-to-machine communication; and Intellectual Property protection methods.

Another key advantage of the PAC is its unprecedented connectivity for complimentary devices and network isolation for IT professionals. This is due to its standard dual LAN capability for network separation, built-in OPC server, Modbus TCP functionality, and the ability to integrate directly into Ethernet/IP and Profinet networks.

The PAC I/O system includes various modules for digital, analog, and temperature signals and communication interfaces. These modules include bus couplers, counters, and accessories.

When looking for the best in precision-control solutions, you can trust the Wainbee Limited product lineup to be innovative and industry-leading.
