Parker: Compax3 Intelligent Servo Drive (S075V4 Series)

Compax3 is Parker Hannifin's global servo drive. The drive series includes single and multi axis drives as well as hydraulic controllers. It features a power range from 1 to 109 kVA. The servo drives are completely developed and manufactured in Germany. An additional Compax3 production site was established in the US. As a global servo drive controller, Compax3 is of course available all over the world. Service and support sites are located in the vicinity of all major industry locations - worldwide. The “Parker Authorized Distribution Partners” do play an important role in this context - well-trained and experienced application and support specialists will provide the necessary professional support in any situation.

Control Technology

The drive controller’s modern control technology with automatic load identification / self control as well as an observer function which can be optionally activated is a guarantor of optimized motion control under all conditions.

Communication

The support of all common Fieldbus interfaces is an essential feature of open systems. Among these are Profibus, CANopen, DeviceNet as well as the modern Ethernet based interfaces such as EtherCAT, PROFINET and Powerlink interfaces. The open OPC communication standard simplifies system integration considerably. For dynamic, multi axis synchronized applications, a real-time drive bus is available for all drives from the Compax3 family.

Software / Tools

Simple and efficient use of a modern and complex automation component offering high functionality such as Compax3 is guaranteed by an intuitively operable software tool. The specially designed “Parker Integrated Engineering Tool”. Integral components of this software package are:

This software tool supports the user in the configuration, the setup and optimization, the programming as well as the maintenance of all Compax3 devices.

System Solutions

The Compax3 series servo drives represent an important component for the design of complete automation systems. The user can chose between additional components optimally suited for the use with Compax3. Among those are:

Electromechanical Overall Solutions

Electromechanical system solutions play a special role today. Parker Hannifin is not only the manufacturer of modern drive and control technology, but also of

As a special service we offer our customers complete, ready-to-mount electromechanic solutions, especially developed and manufactured for special industries or individual customers. In many cases, this reduces the development overhead on the user side considerably. Thousands of systems installed prove Parker Hannifin’s as well as their partner’s - the “Parker Automation Technology Centers” - high competence and long experience. Prefabricated integrated technology functions support the user’s tasks. Furthermore, you can extend these functions by your own know-how at anytime.

Quality

Our customer systems must meet the highest demands with respect to resilience. Compax3 by Parker Hannifin exceeds by far the high quality requirements for an automation component. Not only the quality characteristics but also our customers speak volumes.

Safety

With many applications in harsh and arduous environments such as presses and robot cells, Parker ensures that product and system reliability and quality are second to none. Drive integrated systems as implemented in Compax3 support the machine designer in realizing safe and cost-efficient solutions.

Control Technology

Real-time Signal Processing

Jerk-limited set point generation, resulting in:

Control:

Single-axis Compax3S and Compax3H

For maximum application solving capability, the Compax3 is offered in two single-axis families, low power and high power. Low power applications include semiconductor, solar, packaging, printing, welding, test and measurement, and medical. High power applications include hydraulic application replacement, injection molding, and printing and converting. Each family shares a common control interface so virtually every feature is familiar between the two families.
