The controller drives up to 6 on/off valves at 5 Amps over a CANopen network. Alternatively, the user can select pulsed, timed or PWM output types. It accepts up to 2 analog inputs (0-5v, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA) and 3 digital inputs for connection to a variety of analog machine sensors or levers. The user can also select PWM, Frequency/RPM or 16-bit Counter inputs. Each input can be configured to measure the input value and send the data to a CANopen network. In addition, any output on the controller could be configured information from the CAN bus. Standard embedded software is provided. An EDS file is provided to interaface to standard CANopen tools. A valuable diagnostic feature involves reading and retaining in the unit’s memory the actual current draw form the solenoid(s). Rugged packaging in addition to a 9-36V power supply input section suits mobile equipment control applications.
