This video demonstrates how to configure a Parker PAC120 Motion Controller to control an EasyMotion All-in-One Integrated Servo Motor using the EtherCAT fieldbus network and CODESYS programming software.
Learn how to:
- Connect a Parker PAC120 controller to an EasyMotion integrated servo motor
- Configure EtherCAT communication using ESI files
- Set up motion control in CODESYS
- Use PLCopen motion control function blocks
- Enable and power the servo drive
- Perform servo resets and position referencing
- Execute relative moves with MC_MoveRelative
- Jog the motor using MC_Jog
- Read servo and encoder status with MC_ReadStatus
- Set and reset motor positions with MC_SetPosition
- Scale motion commands using encoder counts and pulses per second
- Expand your system to multiple axes using EtherCAT daisy chaining
The demonstration features the EasyMotion MMS7400B-02PKN All-in-One Servo Motor and shows how Parker's PAC120 platform can be used for high-performance motion applications. The same concepts can be applied to the Parker PAC340 Motion Controller, which supports up to 256 synchronized motion axes.
Whether you're an OEM machine builder, controls engineer, automation technician, or industrial programmer, this tutorial provides a practical introduction to EtherCAT motion control using Parker and EasyMotion products.
