Specialized in Hydraulic Applications:

The new AC drive series AC20F was specially developed for motor control in hydraulic applications. It is particularly suitable as a drive controller for the enhanced Drive Controlled Pump (DCP), Parker's variable-speed hydraulic drive solution. The range of functions can be expanded by numerous optional modules. In addition, the AC20F can be equipped with communication cards for fieldbus communication with open standards such as CANopen, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT and Ethernet IP.
This concept makes the new AC20F suitable for OEM machine builders who need a compact, cost-effective and user-friendly drive for their hydraulic applications, but do not want to compromise on performance. 

  • Modular design, highly adaptable
  • Easy programming with DSE Lite
  • Condition monitoring features

     

Features and Benefits

 

The AC20F was designed to reduce the time and effort required to select, install, set up and commission. It delivers consistently outstanding levels of performance day in, day out - ensuring maximum uptime and productivity. The compact footprint allows installation into existing spaces, while the IO count has been chosen to allow maximum possible flexibility. 

  • Modular design for cost-effective use: main device + option cards
  • Newly implemented power unit features enable condition monitoring - limits for warning and stop for:    
    • Oil temperature
    • Oil level
    •  Filter condition
  • Software DSE Lite: 
    • Easy programming
    • I/O (factory defined) can be flexibly changed
    • Simple handling via function blocks
    • Complete configuration and setup also possible via webserver

Video: Drive Controlled Pump with AC20F Drive Controller

 

Start now the energy saving program for your hydraulic applications. Whether as a single component or a complete solution:
With the Drive Controlled Pump, you can reduce your costs and increase your efficiency.

This is ensured by the modern control electronics in the new AC20F drive controller. The inverter compares the flow rate and pressure setpoint of the machine control system with the actual pressure value and regulates the motor speed. The pump delivers exactly the amount of oil needed to provide the setpoints - your machine runs at maximum efficiency.

Watch the video here to see how the Drive Controlled Pump and the AC20F will set you up perfectly for the future.
