Simplicity, reliability, and compatibility; meet the inverter on the block.

It’s been a long time coming and finally, the new Parker AC20 is within fingers reach. The

the operatives experience, packing a punch with some extra characteristics.

  2. Why learn another software when the AC20 comes with the DSE Lite programming tool.
  3. Micro USD card slot for application cloning and application storage

  8. Disconnectable C3 EMC filter

  13. 2 Channel Safe Torque Off (STO) in line with safety regulations
  14. The Parker AC20 has a standard communication slot allowing 3 rd party Anybus communication option cards to slot in. Take your pick from CANopen, EtherCAT, Ethernet IP, PROFIBUS DP, RS485/ Modbus RTU and PROFINET IO.
  15. The Parker AC20 also comes with Open Loop & Close Loop options, 5 macros for common applications, Induction or PM Motors
