System Architecture & Signal Flow
The TBF60/5R operates as the central motion coordinator within a Parker Compax servo system. The controller receives motion commands from the host PLC or motion computer via the fieldbus interface, executes real-time trajectory planning across all 5 axes, and outputs closed-loop servo commands to individual Compax drive modules. Encoder feedback from each servo axis is processed by the controller to maintain position accuracy. I/O signals for homing, limits, and interlocks are managed through the integrated I/O interface, enabling fully autonomous motion sequences without host PLC intervention during execution.
