Parker Automation Controller Recommendation from Lance Douglas

“ The Parker Automation Controller (PAC) is the ultimate machine controller for handling multi-axis coordinated motion and traditional machine PLC commands. Several of my customers have seen how a centralized motion and machine controller reduces necessary components and simplifies their system designs."

"The system has a built-in web interface designer and is user access-controlled. Easy to make control and monitoring screens can be displayed on a computer, HMI, or even your phone. With EtherCAT as the underlying network, you can add axes and expandable I/O nearly without limit."
