EPEC-3606

Epec 3606 Control Unit is a compact and powerful multifunction controller.

Overview

Description

Epec 3606 Control Unit is a compact and robust multifunction controller with a high calculating power. It can be used as a stand-alone controller for smaller systems or as part of a bigger, decentralized control system. Epec 3606 control unit has 21 I/O pins in total.

The unit’s casing works to protect the electronics against mechanical wear. The leak-proof zinc/plastic housing has also been widely tested against different environmental conditions. The unit is equipped with a signal LED for diagnostics. One CAN is also equipped with double pins to make cabling easier since there is no need for branches in the wire harness.
