Overview

Description

Need to connect 10 propo valve pairs? Epec 3720 control unit is specially optimized for hydraulic actuator control with a high amount of PWM outputs and feedback pins. Epec 3720 I/O interface is compatible with the previous Epec 2020 control unit and gives an easy upgrade possibility. Furthermore, Epec 3720 comes in the same rugged proven-in-use aluminum housing and reliable connectors.
