Deciphering Parker part codes
When deciphering Parker Hannifin part codes specific to drives and ancillary parts/equipment, such as power boards and related components, the structure of the part number provides key information about product functionality, size, and specifications.
Here’s how to break down these part codes step by step, focusing only on parts relevant to drives, power electronics, and related equipment.
Step-by-Step Guide for Decoding Parker Hannifin Part Codes
1. Understand the Product Family
Parker Hannifin drives and power electronics components, such as AC drives, DC drives, and servo drives, are typically categorized by product family.
For example, you might see codes like:
- AC10: Refers to the AC10 variable speed drive series.
- AC30: Refers to the AC30 series, which offers more advanced control options.
- 590+: DC drives family, used for DC motor control. Example: AC10-04D022F (AC10 Series Drive)
- AC10: The product family indicates this is an AC10 drive.
2. Voltage and Power Ratings
The next part of the code often indicates voltage, current, or power rating for the drive or board. It’s essential to know these values to select the correct part for your application.
- 04D: Typically, this refers to a drive with a 400V input.
- 022: This can refer to the current rating (e.g., 22A).
- F: Indicates a specific feature, such as frequency or phase (often used for single-phase or three-phase power specifications). Example: AC10-04D022F
- 04D: Indicates this drive operates on a 400V input voltage.
- 022: Indicates a 22A current rating.
- F: May refer to a specific frequency or phase configuration.
3. Drive Configuration and Form Factor
Drives and power electronics from Parker also include part codes that specify the form factor or configuration of the unit, such as chassis type or whether it’s enclosed.
Key codes:
- C: Refers to a chassis-mounted drive.
- E: Indicates an enclosed drive or power board. Example: 590P-534000C
- 590P: Refers to the 590+ DC Drive series.
- 534000: This can refer to a specific model number that gives detailed configuration information.
- C: Indicates that this is a chassis-mounted drive.
4. Power Board and Control Board Specifications
For power boards or control boards (ancillary parts), Parker Hannifin part numbers often include codes that specify power capacity, control features, and interface options.
- PBA: Refers to a power board assembly.
- CBA: Refers to a control board assembly.
- IO: Refers to input/output (I/O) capabilities on control boards. Example: PBA-040
- PBA: This is a power board assembly.
- 040: Refers to a specific power rating, such as 40 kW.
5. Special Features or Modifications
In some cases, part codes include suffixes or letters indicating special features or modifications. These might be related to environmental ratings (e.g., IP ratings), added options, or firmware versions.
Common suffixes:
- IP54: Indicates the drive is rated for protection against dust and water splashes.
- T: Can indicate a “tropicalized” version with enhanced moisture protection. Example: AC30V-450T-IP54
- AC30V: Refers to the AC30 series drive.
- 450T: Indicates a 450A current rating with tropicalization.
- IP54: Environmental protection rating of IP54.
Summary:
Summary of Key Parts in the Code:
- Product Family: Identifies whether it’s an AC, DC, or servo drive (e.g., AC10, 590+).
- Voltage/Current Rating: Refers to the voltage and power capacity of the drive (e.g., 04D for 400V, 022 for 22A).
- Form Factor/Configuration: Specifies whether the drive is chassis-mounted or enclosed (e.g., C for chassis).
- Ancillary Part Type: Identifies power boards or control boards (e.g., PBA for power board assembly).
- Special Features: Indicates environmental protection, phase configuration, or other custom features (e.g., IP54 for dust and water resistance).
