Product Short Description
Product Name: Parker CPAR-04AE-13574 — 4-Channel Analog Expansion Module for Parker Control Systems (some sources classify as Industrial Control / AC Drive Module)
Product Introduction: The CPAR-04AE-13574 is a compact 4-channel analog expansion module designed to plug into Parker automation platforms, bringing 0–10 V or 4–20 mA signals from field instruments into a Parker controller. Some distributor documentation also lists it as a high-performance industrial automation module with servo control capability.
Description
Technical Specifications:
- Brand: Parker
- Model: CPAR-04AE-13574
- Channels: 4 analog input channels (0–10 V or 4–20 mA selectable)
- Resolution: 12–16-bit class
- Power Requirement: 24 VDC nominal (18–30 VDC range per some sources)
- Current Consumption: Max 2.0 A, pre-fusing 2.5 A medium lag
- Dimensions: Approximately 110 × 70 × 60 mm
- Weight: Approximately 0.25 kg
- Operating Temperature: 0 to +55°C (cabinet installation, non-condensing)
Functional Features:
- Clean panel integration with DIN-rail friendly footprint
- Pluggable terminals for quick maintenance swaps
- Tight integration with Parker PAC/ACR architectures — plug-and-run with existing projects
- Noise-aware design works with shielded cabling and proper grounding
- No separate analog gateway required when host controller manages the bus
Application Scenarios: Process skids (temperature, flow, pressure transmitter inputs), machine automation (web tension, dancer control), hydraulic/pneumatic systems (proportional valve feedback), test stands and R&D rigs.
Communication: Local expansion bus to compatible Parker controllers; external fieldbus handled by the host controller.
Installation Requirements:
- Mount on 35 mm DIN-rail in a ventilated enclosure
- Allow space for airflow and wiring service loops
- Use 24 VDC supply with proper grounding; clean instrument ground for analog commons
- Wiring: Shielded twisted pair for 4–20 mA and 0–10 V runs; terminate shields at one end
Usage Precautions: Publicly available documentation shows inconsistency regarding whether this part is an analog expansion module or an AC drive — verify the exact configuration against the unit nameplate and original Parker documentation before deployment. Use appropriate fusing (2.5 A medium lag). Ensure proper shielding and single-point shield termination to maintain stable readings in mixed-signal panels.
