Press Release Summary:
Configured via RS232 null-modem cable using ProPXD software, PID00A-400 Series is designed to work in systems requiring precise closed-loop control of pressure, position, or velocity. Flexible input and output selection eliminates need for additional signal conditioning card. Software displays default or previously saved values and profiles, parameters currently stored in module, and diagnostic test signals where applicable.
Original Press Release:
PID Series Digital Module for Electrohydraulic Proportional Valves Work in Systems Requiring Precise Closed-Loop Pressure, Position or Velocity Control
ORLANDO, FEB. 25, 2007 - Parker Hannifin Corporation, the world's leading motion control supplier to mobile, industrial and aerospace markets, announces the release of its PID series Digital Module for electrohydraulic proportional valves.
Parker is releasing the fifth module in the PID series family. The PID module is designed to work in systems requiring precise closed-loop control of pressure, position or velocity. Like the other models in the PID family, this module is configured using the same ProPXD computer software on PC.
The PID00A-400 Series module provides benefits to the customer in the following areas:
o No need for a DIN card holder, typically $50
o Digital software allows fast viewing and verification of module settings.
- No voltmeter required.
o Module size is half that of conventional DIN rack mounted cards. - Smaller enclosure required.
o Flexible input and output selection eliminates the need for an additional signal conditioning card that can cost $100.
The Parker PID Digital Module is configured via a standard RS232 null-modem cable using free user-interface software, Parker ProPXD. No programming skills are required to use the software, which provides selectable defaults and customizable parameters for specific valves. The software displays default or previously saved values and profiles, the parameters currently stored in a module and diagnostic test signals where applicable. ProPXD software is easily downloaded from the Parker Web site at www.parker.com/euro_hcd. (Click Downloads under the Services
