Parker Automation Controller
PAC120
4 Product Description
4.1 PAC120
PAC120 is an ARM-based mini-IPC plus CODESYS PLC which is programmed by means of CODESYS V3.
Its SD card slot plus USB port provide a local storage volume for process and other data and the interchange of con-
trol programs. A digital interrupt input allows the controller to immediately respond to process events. On one side
of the modular control unit, there is an E-bus connector which provides for a flexible extension by Parker EtherCAT
control and I/O modules series PACHC and PACIO.
One way of exchanging data with other systems is to go through the on-board interfaces, i.e. Industrial Ethernet
and RS232. Another way is to plug in interface and bus modules to provide further communication links and to fa-
cilitate system integration in existing control architectures. Using an extender module enables to actuate external
EtherCAT slaves.
