Chapter 4: Maintaining the PowerStation

Accessing the PowerStation Utilities

2If you are using a PS/2 style keyboard, the keyboard should be plugged into the keyboard port.

3If you are using an AT style keyboard, make sure the Y cable is attached to the keyboard port.

4Try using a new Y adapter cable.

5Try using a new keyboard.

A USB keyboard or mouse doesn’t work (15” only)

1The keyboard or mouse is defective.

2Try a different brand. Some brands of keyboard and mice may not be recognized by the Legacy Keyboard/Mouse BIOS function.

The Ethernet port doesn’t work

1Make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in.

2Make sure that the networking software is loading properly. Verify that the following lines appear in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and at least one of the two lines do not have the word “REM” in front of it as appropriate:

CALL C:\NET\NET.BAT

LH C:\NET\TCPIP.EXE

See Appendix B for information about the command lines that should appear in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

3Make sure that you properly configured the networking software. See Configuring the Ethernet Interface on page 3-11 of this manual for a list of the drivers that configure your Ethernet interface.

Accessing the PowerStation Utilities

The PA PowerStation is shipped with the PA PowerStation Documentation and Utilities CD. This CD contains all of the dimensional drawings, software, and drivers needed for the PA PowerStation.

If any of the software on your system becomes lost or corrupted, you can reinstall it from this distribution disk.

Ordering Replacement Components

The PA PowerStation is designed to be a simple yet reliable unit to maintain. However, if you need to purchase replacement components for the PowerStation, Parker carries a line of replacement components.

PA Series specifications

Parker Hannifin, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has developed the PA Series, a line of advanced linear actuators designed to enhance industrial automation and machinery with reliable performance and integration capabilities. These actuators are engineered for precision, offering a range of features that cater to diverse applications in various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

One of the main features of the PA Series is its compact design, which allows for flexible installation even in limited spaces. The actuators are available in various sizes and configurations, enabling engineers to choose the most suitable option for their specific requirements. This versatility in design contributes to efficient operations, as the PA Series can be easily integrated into existing systems or used in new machinery.

The technology behind the PA Series is noteworthy for its robust construction and high durability. These actuators are built with high-quality materials that ensure long service life, even in demanding environments. They are designed to withstand mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to contaminants, making them ideal for use in harsh industrial conditions.

In addition to their strength, the PA Series actuators incorporate advanced motion control technologies. This includes closed-loop systems that ensure accurate positioning and repeatability. With integrated feedback mechanisms such as encoders, the actuators can provide real-time data on position and speed, allowing for precise control and adjustments during operation.

Another significant characteristic of the PA Series is its energy efficiency. The actuators are designed to minimize power consumption while maximizing output performance. This not only reduces operational costs but also supports sustainable practices in industrial operations.

Furthermore, the PA Series features a user-friendly interface for easy programming and control. This accessibility allows engineers and technicians to quickly set up and modify actuator parameters according to specific project demands. As industries continue to evolve towards automation, the flexibility and scalability of the PA Series make it an ideal choice for companies looking to enhance their productivity and efficiency.

Overall, the Parker Hannifin PA Series stands out for its innovative design, superior technology, and reliable performance. Whether deployed in robotics, assembly lines, or material handling applications, these actuators are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial automation.
