Compax3 is Parker's global servo drive platform - offering a range of high performance single and multi-axis servo drive modules, as well as hydraulic controllers. The 'C3M' series of multi-axis servo drives and servo drive/controllers offer output power ratings from 3 to 20kVA, a 3*400/480VAC input power supply and a common PSU and DC bus connection permitting energy exchange between drives. Furthermore C3M-series drives offer a cost reduction for multi-axis applications thanks to their space-saving compact panel footprint, reduced cabling requirements and the use of centralised shared components.

Based on scalable technology functions, Compax3 drives can solve a wide range of application types - from basic analog torque/velocity and step/direction control up to intelligent drives with advanced electronic CAM control and PLCopen function modules, programmable in accordance with IEC 61131-3 using the CoDeSys development environment.
