AX020410 12 Input, 12 Output Valve Controller

12 Inputs, 12 Outputs, SAE J1939 

The valve controller provides precise, repeatable control of 8 proportional or on/off solenoids plus 4 on/off solenoids. It is networked on a SAE J1939 bus. Up to 7 signal inputs and 5 digital inputs are accepted for interface to a PLC, Engine Control Module, switches, command potentiometers or sensors. The controller has altogether twelve inputs, which are divided into Universal and Digital Inputs. Universal Inputs can be configured to measure voltage, current or digital signal and Digital Inputs can be configured to measure digital signals. In addition, Universal Inputs 1 to 6 can be configured to measure resistance. Frequency, signal pulse width and pulse count can be measured with Universal Inputs 1, 3, 5, 7 and Digital Inputs 1, 3, 5. It operates with 12Vdc or 24Vdc power.

Designed for rugged machine applications, it features an IP67 rating, CE marking and is suitable for high vibration installations. Controller settings are user configurable to suit many applications. Configuration is via a Windows-based Electronic Assistant® configuration tool and an USB-CAN converter. From the control logic perspective, the AX020410 consists of a set of internal functional blocks, which can be individually configured. The AX020410 model takes a simpler approach suitable for most applications rather than the more complex control logic found in the AX020400 model. For more details on control logic, refer to the User Manual.
