System Configuration Files

Parker includes backup copies of the CONFIG.SYS file and AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the \CTCTEMP directory on your PowerStation’s Compact Flash disk and on the PowerStation Start disk. These files are called CONFIG.CTC and

AUTOEXEC.CTC.

CONFIG.SYS File

SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P

REM !!! NOTE !!!

REM EMM386 can be used to free up more conventional memory for use by

REM Interact, by allowing TSRs to be loaded high. Just remove the word

REM 'REM' in front of the appropriate command, and adjust the

REM parameters as required for your system's configuration.

AUTOEXEC.BAT File

The lines in the following table must appear in the PA PowerStation’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the unit to operate properly. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file that Parker supplies includes these lines and is located in the \CTCTEMP directory on the PowerStation’s Compact Flash card in a file called

AUTOEXEC.CTC.

Please make sure that the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on your PA PowerStation’s CF card includes the command lines shown in table B-1. A complete listing of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is shown after table B-1.

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.
