IQAN-MC41 Module

Best for Smaller Applications, 18 Inputs, 8 Outputs, Task-Oriented Control Implementing Single Features For Mobile Hydraulic Systems and Vehicles.

The IQAN-MC4x is a family of master controllers.  This is a high-performance master controller for cost-efficient task oriented control, the 3 available sizes may be used in different ways.

  • MC41 for cost-efficient task oriented control
  • MC42 mid-size applications and I/O distribution
  • MC43 large space-saving centralized control

The IQAN-MC41 controller is the lowest I/O count module in the MC4 family. It is best for smaller applications such as task-oriented control, implementing single features on a vehicle (valve driver for auxiliary hydraulic function), or to act as an additional controller in systems where the main controller does not provide enough I/O for the system.

The IQAN-MC41 is designed to be either an IEC 61508 SIL2 Functional Safety (-FS) variant or a performance optimized, standard controller.
