Reviews For P21-0C2-A5-1D3

Internal Review

The CTC Parker Automation P21-0C2-A5-1D3 is a robust and reliable unit from the P2 PowerStation Series, designed for industrial operator interface applications. While the series may be discontinued by the manufacturer, its specifications highlight a focus on durability and stable operation in challenging industrial environments. Adaptive Power and Chemical Resilience – A key feature of the P21-0C2-A5-1D3 is its intelligent power supply, which automatically detects the input voltage level (within the 20–36 VDC range) and adjusts accordingly. This adaptability simplifies installation, though it's crucial to use reliable power sources and isolate communication cables from AC lines to enhance noise immunity. The unit has a maximum power consumption of 42W (or 54W with PC/104 expansion) and is protected by a 3.15A, 250 VAC Littelfuse 216.315 or equivalent fuse. It also provides stable power availability for PC/104 modules across various voltage rails. Perhaps its most notable attribute is the exceptional chemical resistance of all PowerStation surfaces exposed to the outside of the enclosure. These surfaces can withstand common industrial substances such as commercial glass cleaners, 10% dilute ammonia, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel, leaded and unleaded gasoline, silicone-based lubricants, ethyl and methyl alcohol, and automatic transmission fluid. This robust chemical resistance significantly minimizes maintenance and repair costs by protecting against degradation in harsh operating conditions. — AX Control Lead Technician
