Product Overview

 

 

Epec 5050 Control Unit is a compact, powerful and robust multifunction controller with 32-bit processor and efficient calculating power. Epec 5000 product platform is fully compatible to the existing Epec product portfolio. Some of the advances of the Epec 5050 Control Unit are listed below.

 

 

Multifunctional Efficiency

  • A powerful multifunction controller

    • 32-bit processor

    • increased calculating power

    • floating point calculation

  • 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 aluminum/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

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

  • 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 65 I/O pins

  • Most pins have multipurpose features

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

  • Pulse inputs have a threshold voltage selection

  • PWM outputs have a high side current measurement

  • Some pins with an input feature have a programmable pull up / pull down selection

 

 

Application programming

  • Application downloading is possible through both CAN bus and Ethernet

  • Floating point calculation makes programming more efficient

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

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

    • sensors

    • actuators

    • joysticks

    • other devices

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

  • Internal error logging which makes it possible to

    • save e.g. overvoltage and overtemperature alarms

    • program customized log applications
