Stand alone motion controller
CANopen; Ethernet 100-T; USB 2.0; RS232/RS485

The ACR family is one of the highest-performing movement controller families on the market today.

The ACR's DSP-based controllers can quickly process floating-point calculations onboard, typically in the 100- to 500-microsecond range. This allows the controller to service a pre-emptive multi-tasker, with up to 24 programs simultaneously. In addition, it can handle up to four communication channels concurrently. This means you can communicate with an ACR controller for troubleshooting and industrial still have the HMI on a production machine fully online and active. This high processing power enables the control of co-ordinated motion for up to eight axis. These axis can be equipped alternative with stepper- or servo-motors. The motion profile is calculated during the move. This enables a faster reaction on sudden disturbances or quicker changes of the target positions while in motion as on common controllers with pre-compiled moves.

The advanced control functions of ACR9000 contain linear and circular interpolation, Splines, NURBS, high speed inputs (1µsec.), segmented cams and electronic gearings. The setpoint-summation in real time allows to superimpose cams, gears and other profiles to create complex motion shapes. The initialising of ACR9000 and the communication during operation is done by a RS232/RS485 interface or optional via Ethernet. The ACR9000 can be delivered as 2, 4, 6 and 8 - axis version with pre-configuered cables for nearly all Parker Servodrives. Typical applications are in labeling, handling, flying knife, camming or multi-axis professional robots with coordinated motion.
