Product Overview
IQAN-MC42FS master controller for implementation of SIL2/PLd safety functions in mobile machinery.
Parker’s IQAN-MC4x is a family of master controllers. The 3 sizes are perfectly scaled for: MC41 for cost efficient task oriented control, MC42 mid-size applications and I/O distribution, and MC43 large space-saving centralized control.
Detailed Information
Parker’s IQAN-MC41, -MC42 and -MC43 are rugged master controllers that are designed as the ideal solution for hydraulic control systems in mobile hydraulic vehicles and machinery. Parker IQAN® master controllers enables optimized system architectures speeding development which improves OEM revenues.
The 3 sizes of the MC4x family of master controllers have varying amounts of local I/O for input/output use and multiple CAN bus controllers for diagnostic and CAN gateway capability. The robust aluminum enclosure has sealed automotive connectors and is designed for harsh outdoor environments.
Machine applications for the MC4x master controllers are simple to create with the easy-to-use IQAN programming tools. This makes the IQAN-MC41, -MC42 and -MC43 master controllers a perfect fit for any mobile machine application.
