Aries Controller

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

•Programming Language: The Aries Controller is programmed in the AcroBASIC language used

for the ACR family of controllers. Commands used for drive/motor set-up are based on the Aries

command language.

•Development Environment: The free of charge, ACR-View Software Development Kit is used to

set-up, program and troubleshoot the Aries Controller. The Aries Support Tool (AST), used to

configure Aries drive only products, is not required or supported. AST functionality is embedded in

ACR-View.

•PC Applications: Included with ACR-View is a Windows compatible library (API) called the

ComACRserver that can be integrated into any COM enabled programming language such as VB6,

VB.NET, C++, and C#. The rich set of functions included with the ComACRserver allows a user to

develop custom user interfaces with ease.

•LabView: The ComACRserver allows LabView users to quickly create custom VIs for

communicating to, commanding and querying the Aries Controller. Example projects are available for

download.

•Enable Input: The Aries does not have a dedicated hardware enable circuit. The mains input

power could be used for stopping purposes, however, motion may occur for several seconds while

capacitors discharge. A user can program a task to monitor an input and immediately kill motion

when the input is opened. For true safety stop functionality, a custom version of the Aries is available

which dedicates Input 0 as a hardware enable circuit. Request a custom product quotation for this

version (will be available as a standard ordering option).

•Feedback Types: Aries Controller supports Smart encoders, quadrature rotary and linear encoders

and Heidenhain EnDat absolute encoders. No special order code is required, all are supported on the

same hardware platform. Resolvers are not supported at this time and no development timeline has

been established.

•HMI Drivers: Drivers are available and currently shipping with Parker InteractX (2.51) and Interact

Xpress(1.8) platforms.

•IP Addressing: The IP address for the controller can be freely assigned using hardware switches

of the front of the controller. See notes for more information

•Auxiliary Encoder: The Aries controller has a secondary encoder input for following/cam

applications. See notes for more information

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions-Coming Attractions

•Controller Peer-to-Peer: Functionality is being developed that will allow Aries Controllers to pass

commands and variables to other Aries controllers. Expected availability is spring 2009.

•Expansion I/O: Parker is currently developing EtherNet/IP scanner functionality for the Aries that

will allow use of Ethernet expansion I/O modules. Expected availability is mid-2009.

•EtherNet/IP: Parker is currently developing EtherNet/IP scanner and adapter functionality for the

Aries. Expected availability is mid-2009.

•Higher Power Levels: 2kW and 3kW (-20, -30) versions of the Aries Controller are in development.

Expected availability is fall 2009.

Xpress

Together, the Aries Controller, Xpress software and

XPR PowerStations create a

powerful, easy to use motion and HMI solution. The Aries Controller and XPR

PowerStation communicate via 100Mb Ethernet using a the Xpress

COMMserver for fast, efficient data and command transfer. The ACR Ethernet

Driver included with Xpress enables almost unlimited access to information on

the controller. Since most controller functions can be executed by simply

asserting a binary variable, push button control can be created for most motion

needs.

• Read and write global variables

• Read and write controller system parameters and flags

• Read and write strings

• Standard Ethernet Cable for direct connection or thru a switch
