Mating Plug Kit: AX070119
Description:
The Dual Output Plug-In Valve Controller with CANopen® is designed for extremely versatile control of the
two proportional outputs to directly drive coils or other loads from the machine’s CAN bus. Its flexible circuit
design gives the user a wide range of configurable output types. The sophisticated control algorithms allow
the user to program the controller for a wide range of applications without the need for custom software.

The two universal outputs can be setup to drive: proportional current (up to 2.5A each); hotshot digital current
(2.5A); proportional voltage (up to supply); proportional PWM; or straight on/off digital loads. Both outputs are
high-side driven (sourcing) outputs.

A programmable controller, the user can configure it for their application. Its sophisticated control algorithms
allow for open or closed loop drive of the proportional outputs. It is integrated into the machine’s CANopen ®
network of controllers. All outputs and logical function blocks on the unit are inherently independent from one
another, but can be programmed to interact in a large number of ways. Refer to Figure 1.
