November 24, 2010 – Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division released ACR9600 Xpress Programmable Automation Controller (PAC). The Xpress PAC 9600 builds upon the core motion engine of the ACR9000 family of controllers and now allows users to develop code in IEC 61131-3 programming languages. Also included are industry standards for communications with EtherNet/IP, networked servo drives via ETHERNET Powerlink and PLCopen function blocks. All of these features are managed from a single integrated software development environment. The Xpress 9600 is part of a Parker family that plays well together, integrating seamlessly with Xpress HMI and Parker motors.
Interact Xpress HMI applications are developed, edited, published and run in a browser-based environment that is intrinsic to the web, allowing users and OEMs to easily publish upgrades and applications to any global location with an Internet connection and a web browser. This web integration also simplifies implementation of remote diagnosis for support of machinery anywhere in the world.
