The above are introductory examples of programming in Parker Automation Manager which is CoDeSys v3

Training is available through CoDeSys US CODESYS NORTH AMERICA (external site) or 3rd party PLC training companies.

Your local Parker Automation Technology Center (ATCs) that sell Parker Electromechanical products have automation engineers on staff to help you with your machine automation needs. They will also know local programmers and systems integrators if needing additional resources.

 

PAC TRAINING VIDEOs

PAC + C3 + Xpress (embedded) 1.2 (click here to download .zip file)

PAC + C3 + Xpress (embedded) 1.4 (click here to download .zip file)

This includes a sample program files for the Parker Automation Controller using the Parker Automation Manager Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software and Compax3 servo drive configuration file. These can be modified for your particular motor, IO modules and mechanics to quickly get up and running. The Xpress project can be loaded through the PAC Config Tool but the project (.lrp) does not need to be connected or loaded to run. Monitor program and motion status online in the PAC software or through internet browser (after loading the Xpress .lrp).
