IPA Series Intelligent Parker Amplifier Ethernet Servo Drive/Controller
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. The IPA provides
a dual port Ethernet interface which
gives the machine builder the
flexibility needed to create cost
effective motion control solutions.
The IPA is built on the proven and powerful AcroBASIC programming language used in the Parker ACR family of motion controllers. Project development is managed with the ACR-View development software that provides the user with the tools to program, commission, tune and debug applications. Motion and machine control features include:
• Multitasking of up to 16 different tasks
• Incremental, absolute and continuous moves
• Trapezoidal and S-Curves profiles
• High speed (1 ms) position captures
• Registration moves
• Electronic gearing and camming
