Application

The IQAN-MC2 is a flexible master unit that works with a variety of expansion modules in the IQANdesign platform control system. This unit is suitable for use as either a Bus master or standalone control. The IQANMC2 has new I/O flexibility that allows the user greater freedom in defining signals for both measurement and control.

The different input types are voltage, on/off, pulse and frequency. The outputs are proportional and on/ off. The unit also has two CAN interfaces for bus communication using IQAN CAN Protocol (ICP) and SAE J1939 or Generic CAN.

The MC2 is equipped with a Real Time Clock and can perform data logging functions. 

The IQAN-MC2 can control proportional valves using current mode (current closed-loop) or PWM mode (voltage open-loop) signals. The analog inputs will accept 0-5V signals from input devices or sensors. The inputs can also be configured for 5 frequency inputs. Some outputs may alternatively be used as voltage inputs or digital inputs for switches. For communication and diagnostics the MC2 has a USB interface. 

The aluminum housing is designed to be rugged, but light and has a sealed, automotive AMP/Tyco power timer connector. The IQAN-MC2 has a membrane to prevent condensation inside the housing. Additional protection allows the unit to be steam-cleaned. This controller is designed for the outdoor environment.
