Aries Controller Single-Axis Servo Drive/Controller

Rohnert Park, CA, February 2, 2016—Parker Hannifin, EMN Rohnert Park is discontinuing the sale of all Aries Controller (aka Aries CE) servo drives effective March 1st, 2016. The Intelligent Parker Amplifier (IPA) was designed and introduced as a replacement for the Aries Controller. The IPA has been on the market for a full year with an excellent track record for manufacturing quality and application performance, including numerous direct replacement for Aries CE applications. With a proven and superior product available as a replacement, Parker has decided to retire the Aires CE to simplify support and to encourage customers to move to the new and better product.

The following parts are impacted:
AR-04CE
AR-08CE
AR-13CE
All custom products based on the above products, such as:
CP*AR-04CE-xxxxx
CP*AR-08CE-xxxxx
CP*AR-13CE-xxxxx

The Aries Controller single-axis servo drive delivers a wide range of standalone capabilities. The Aries Controller combines the performance benefits of the Aries digital servo drive with the industry-leading ACR9000 controller platform.  With Ethernet connectivity, onboard I/O, and easy-to-use project development tools, commissioning single-axis motion is simple and efficient. 

Powerful single-axis motion capabilities

Leveraging the industry-leading performance of the ACR9000 motion platform in a single-axis form factor, the Aries Controller contains motion and programming capabilities far beyond its peers. From multitasking programmability to encoder-based following with real-time phase advance, the Aries Controller is the highest-performance single-axis controller in its class.

  • Multitasking of up to 16 simultaneous programs
  • Position, velocity and torque control
  • Incremental or absolute motion
  • Trapezoidal or segmented move profiles
  • On-the-fly motion parameter changes
  • Linear and S-curve accelerations
  • On-board programmable limit switches
  • High-speed (1us) position capture registers
  • Registration moves
  • Indexing moves
  • Electronic gearing with real-time phase advance
