Parker Installation Guidelines described in this document offer information regarding how to install the PAC in a manner most likely to minimize the effects of drive emissions and to maximize the immunity of the PAC from externally generated interference. Compliance of the PACIO Modules is demonstrated by the application of the following standard: 2004/108/EC Electromagnetic Compatibility when installed, operated, and maintained as intended.
Page 6
The PAC must be mounted in a suitable tool accessed, fire enclosure. PAC input power is rated at: 24 VDC (-15%/+25%) SELV Limited Energy, 1.2 A, 29W. External power to the PAC must be provided by a Class 2 power source. For customer convenience, Parker offers an AC-input, Model PS-60W, Class 2, 24VDC power supply, which is available for purchase, to provide power to the PAC and PACIO Modules.

PACIO Module Features For the basic layout of the PACIO Modules see the illustration below. The PACIO Modules consist of a plastic housing and an internal aluminum profile with an integral mechanism to snap the Module to a 35mm DIN rail. The PACIO Modules differ from one another in their functionality, connectors and indicators.
Page 16
Its interconnections among the PAC at one end, and both the I/O Modules and drives at the other, are as fast as those of a backplane bus. An EtherCAT-connected I/O bus acts much like centralized control systems, overcoming the issue of bus transfer times that burden conventional fieldbus systems.
Page 17
Controller to each of the Modules is via an internal EtherCAT E-Bus network. The first PACIO Module plugs into the E-Bus connector on the PAC Controller, and each additional Module plugs in to the proceeding Module, making a chain of up to 20 interconnected Modules. You choose from a variety of PACIO Modules to add, based on the requirements of your specific application.
88-032477-01 Required Tools Installing the PAC and PACIO Modules on the DIN rail requires no tools. However, a small flat blade screwdriver (tip size 0.04mm x 2.5mm) is required for attaching the wiring to the PAC Controller and PACIO Modules.
Page 21
Important: A Limited Power Source (LPS) power supply or circuit according to IEC 60950-1, or an NEC Class 2 power source must be used to provide power to the PAC. NEC Class 2 circuits are considered to be safe from a fire ignition standpoint and provide acceptable protection against electric shock.
INSTALLATION Installation Overview The illustration below shows the components that you need to install the PAC. It shows the Controller connected to multiple PACIO Modules. The recommended installation process follows. Basic Installation Steps The following steps give a high-level overview of the installation process. See the remainder of the chapter for additional details on completing each step.
EMI considerations. Regulatory Installation Guidelines The PAC System is designed for use in industrial environments. It is to be installed in an industrial enclosure and factory wired according to National Electric Code (NEC) guidelines. When installing the Controller and PACIO, you can either use a 24VDC Limited Power Source (LPS) or Class 2 power circuit available in the control cabinet, a purchased LPS or Class 2 power supply, or an optional Parker model PS-60W Class 2 power supply, purchased separately.
Page 24
Allow a minimum of two inches between the inside of the enclosure and the top, bottom, and sides of the PAC. Verify that the surface of the enclosure on which the PAC is mounted is flat and free of raised or depressed areas.
Page 25
(IEC/EN61010-1). To reduce radiated emissions, ensure that there is a low impedance earth connection to the PAC, which can be accomplished by attaching the DIN rail to a suitable Earth ground and also utilizing Pin-3 on the Controller 24VDC power input connector. This connection must be made with the shortest possible, heavy gage wire or braided cable.
Page 26
Calculate the overall length of DIN rail required for the installation base on the following component widths. Be sure to include extra length for adding additional modules in the future and a clearance allowance for removing modules. Parker Automation Controller Installation Guide...
Mounting the Controller To mount the PAC Controller to the DIN Rail: 1. Push the module up against the mounting rail from below, allowing the metal spring to snap in between the mounting rail and mounting area. 2. Push the module against the mounting wall until it snaps into place.
Damage to the modules or unintended I/O functionality might occur. Earth Ground Just as with the PAC Controller, connect the PACIO Modules to Earth by attaching the metal housing to operative Earth via the grounded DIN rail. Parker Automation Controller Installation Guide...
Page 29
Check all connections to verify that: The connection between the PACIO Module housing and DIN rail conducts well. The connection between the DIN rail and control cabinet conducts well. The control cabinet is connected to Earth. ...
Page 30
Note: To ensure smooth functionality of the PACIO modules, the PACIO modules must be arranged based on their e-bus load. The modules with the biggest e-bus load are to be arranged directly next to the PAC Controller. The modules with the smallest e-bus load should be the furthest from the PAC.
Page 31
To Remove a PACIO Module from the PAC Controller 1. Press the Unlock Button on the PACIO Module that needs to be removed, and slide all modules about 2 cm to the right. 2. Push the Unlock Button on the adjacent Module to the right of the Module to be removed and slide the Module that needs to be removed to the left, just enough to clear the E-Bus connector on the right Module.
INSTALLATION Fieldbus Communication Module (optional) An optional Fieldbus Communication Module is available with the PAC Controller in order to provide PROFINET I/O data via a PCI Express interface. Refer to Chapter 6 for more information on the configuration or installation of the PROFINET Slave option.
Overview of System Start-up Once the installation location has been properly determined and the PAC Controller and PACIO Modules have been mounted to the DIN rail and properly grounded, it is time to apply power and configure the PAC Controller.

Connection Diagram For convenience, the 24VDC input connector can be prewired and then plugged into the mating connector on the unit. Remember to tighten the two screws located on each side of the connector to prevent unintended disconnection. CAUTION: To reduce issues associated with noise on the input DC power, keep the 24VDC wiring away from any AC interfering sources, such as motor leads or other devices, and keep the wiring as short as possible.
Page 36
CAUTION: Permanently connected equipment must include a switch or circuit breaker between the Controller and power source. This disconnect must be in a suitable location within reach of the Controller and must be properly marked to indicate that its purpose is to disconnect power.

PACIO Power Distribution Module Many PACIO Modules require 24VDC to provide power to field outputs. To ensure that there is as little cross interference as possible, do not connect the PACIO field power supply lines from one PACIO power supply port to the next. Install a central power supply point and establish a star topology using the shortest wires possible between the central point and PACIO Modules.
