Product Overview

 

Epec 3606 Control Unit is a compact and robust multifunction controller with 16/32 bit processor and high calculating power. Epec 3000 product platform is fully compatible to the existing Epec product portfolio. Some of the advances of the Epec 3606 Control Unit are listed below.

 

 

Multifunctional Efficiency

  • A multifunction controller

    • 16/32 bit processor

    • high calculating power

  • Can be used used in a CAN control unit system as a multifunction controller with different kinds of sensors and actuators, such as

    • proportional valves,

    • servo motors, and

    • electro-hydraulic components

  • Provides control system solutions for both centralized and distributed intelligence systems

  • Fully compatible with the existing Epec product portfolio

 

 

Mechanics & hardware

  • Robust, light and leak proof zinc/plastic cover has been widely tested against different chemicals and environmental conditions

  • The shape of the casing works to protect the electronics inside against mechanical wear.

  • Three point anchorage confirms firm mounting also on irregular surfaces

  • Signal LED for quick status check and fault detection

  • Equipped with gold plated, heavy duty AMPSEAL connectors

  • The connector is colour coded and mechanically keyed

  • One CAN is equipped with double pins, which makes cabling easier since there is no need for branches in the wire harness.

  • Made in Finland

 

 

Versatile I/O capabilities

  • Total of 21 I/O pins

  • Most pins have multipurpose features

  • All I/O pins are equipped with a short-circuit protection

 

 

Application programming

  • Application downloading is possible through CAN bus

  • Epec products are based on PLCopen and CANopen®, which make them easily scalable to meet requirements for both small and large machines

  • Open I/O and communication interface, thus making it possible to connect

    • sensors,

    • actuators,

    • joysticks, and

    • other devices

from other manufacturers to optimize the whole machine environment, both technically and ergonomically.

  • Internal diagnostics which makes it possible to

    • detect e.g. overvoltage and overtemperature alarms and

    • program customized log applications
