Axiomatic Technologies announces the release of a new 10 analog input module with CAN or CANopen

The 10 Analog Input Module measures up to 10 analog inputs (0-5V, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA) for connection to a variety of analog machine sensors or levers and communicates the data to a CAN network. The user can also select multiple PWM inputs or frequency, counter or an active high digital input. The module can also be connected to several CAN devices as well as communicate with a Human Machine Interface (HMI). The sophisticated DSP microprocessor can accommodate complex control algorithms for advanced machine control applications.

Standard embedded software is provided. Settings are user configurable by means of a Windows-based Electronic Assistant configuration tool interfacing to the controller via an USB-CAN device. The AX030100's rugged IP67 rated packaging in addition to a wide-ranging power supply input section of 8 to 96VDC suits applications in the harsh environment of mobile equipment with on-board battery power.

Electronic Assistant runs on a Windows operating system for user configuration, saving and writing settings to additional controllers during set-up. An Axiomatic USB-CAN converter links the PC to the CAN bus.

Rugged IP67 packaging and watertight connectors, suitable for use in harsh environments.

Applications for the Analog Input Module include Off-highway construction equipment, forestry, mining and military vehicles, power generation, standby generators, material-handling equipment, etc.

Axiomatic is an an integrated ISO9001:2000 engineering design and manufacturing firm operating in Mississauga, Canada as well as Munich, Germany, and Lempäälä, Finland.
