Parker IPA (Intelligent Parker Amplifier) is a compact, versatile, and cost-effective servo drive/controller designed for a wide range of motion control applications. It combines a servo drive and a controller in a single unit, simplifying system integration and reducing costs.
The Intelligent Parker Amplifier or IPA, is a 1.5 axis servo drive/controller based on the ACR control platform. Available in two power levels, 400W and 1500W, the IPA can drive a wide range of rotary and linear motors and supports a number of industry standard feedback protocols.
Features
The IPA provides a dual port Ethernet interface which gives the machine builder the flexibility needed to create cost effective motion control solutions. Included with all versions of the IPA is EtherNet/IP, a popular connectivity option to PLCs for easy integration of servo motion in larger machine control applications. The IPA can act as both an EtherNet/IP adapter device supporting I/O and Explicit Messaging and as a Scanner, enabling drive to drive connections and expansion I/O possibilities.
