Epec 3724 Control Unit is a compact and robust multifunction controller with 16-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 3724 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 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 aluminum 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.

• Equipped with gold plated, heavy duty AMPSEAL connectors

• Each connector is color coded and mechanically keyed to fit only to the correct, corresponding place

• Made in Finland

Versatile I/O capabilities

• Total of 52 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
