The 16 Universal Signal Input/Analog Output CAN Controller can extend machine control networks by adding I/O to the CAN bus. This controller features 1 CAN port for user-defined communications over the bus. It accepts up to 8 analog (0-5V, 0-10V, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA) or digital or PWM frequency inputs and provides 8 analog outputs (0-5V, 0- 10V, +/-5V, +/-10V, 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA). Diagnostics messages are provided over the CAN network for the status of inputs or outputs. A RS-232 port is provided for user configuration via PC or for diagnostic purposes.
Model AX030210 adds a digital input, resistive input, 2 voltage references and a relay output. RS-232 is not supported in this model.
The controller belongs to a family of Axiomatic smart controllers with programmable internal architecture. This provides users with flexibility, allowing them to build their own custom controller with a required functionality from a set of predefined internal functional blocks using the PC-based Axiomatic Electronic Assistant software tool. Application programming is performed through the CAN interface, without disconnecting the controller from the user’s system.
8 inputs are user selectable from the following:
0-5V, 0-10V, 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA
Digital inputs for interface to switches, etc.
PWM signal, pulse or 16-bit counter inputs from sensors or diesel engine ECM’s
Enable or disable input commands
Standard embedded software
