PACIO Remote I/O System

PACIO Modules work with the PAC (Parker Automation Controller) to reduce the overall time to market by providing customers flexible, modular IO stack. PACIO modules use tool-less, snap-on connectors to build complete remote and local IO stacks within seconds. PACIO modules allow for combinations of digital and analog IO, temperature RTD sensors, and counter/encoder options.

Markets:

• Factory Automation

• Packaging Machinery

• General Automation

Features/Benefits:

• Reduce cost and time by distributing I/O on the machine or to machine modules that are sold as separate add-on units

• Modular Design reduces R&D risk by allowing scope changes to occur without expensive controller design changes

• Deploy blocks of I/O to machine sections and sell as part of the section package, avoid burdening other sections of the machine

• Save build time with quick wiring via removable terminals and cage clamp design

• Immediately discern the status of every unit with easy to read LEDs for module and signal statuses

• Quickly install/remove modules with removable wiring terminals and quick disconnect buttons

Applications:

• Packaging Machines

• Material forming machines

• Handling machines

• Converting and plastic machines

• Printing & Marking Equipment
