EPEC SC4X CONTROL UNIT
EPEC SC4X CONTROL UNIT
The Epec SC4X Control Unit is a compact and powerful controller designed for distributed control systems in off-highway machines and non-road vehicles. It meets the highest requirements for functional safety, lifecycle cost optimization, and robust performance in extreme environments making it ideal for demanding machine control applications.
Key Benefits:
- Versatile Programming: Distributed systems, offering seamless integration with machine control systems.
- Advanced Communication: Enables fast and reliable data exchange with support for various communication protocols, ensuring real-time responsiveness.
- Durable Design: Built to withstand harsh operating conditions, with compact input/output options that support complex configurations.
- Simplified Configuration: Compatible with Epec MultiTool software for easy configuration, diagnostics, and simulation – reducing setup time.
- Functional Safety: Designed to meet the highest safety standards, supporting secure and reliable operation.
Part of the SL8X Platform:
The SC4X Control Unit is part of Epec’s SL8X modular platform, which provides versatile solutions for functional safety and control. While the SC4X is a CODESYS-based controller, the broader SL8X platform also includes products such as C programmable controllers, CANopen safety responders, and Ethernet safety responders. This modular approach ensures customers can select the right solution for their application, with broad customization and scalability options. Learn more about the Epec SL8X platform.
Integration Notes:
- Proportional Valves: Suitable for proportional control where dither and integrated current measurement are not required. For advanced control with dither or current feedback, pair with an external driver.
- System Voltage: HS/LS outputs are available only in +12 V systems.
Accelerated Time to Market:
Epec offers pre-certified safety libraries and software tools that streamline machine development. Combined with comprehensive product support and training, these resources help customers launch products faster and more efficiently.
Virtual Development Tools:
With the Epec MultiTool Simulator, a virtual version of the SC4X Control Unit is available for development and testing without physical hardware. This reduces prototyping costs, speeds up design cycles, and enables automated testing for greater efficiency.
Cybersecurity:
- Epec is certified with ISO/IEC 27001, ensuring compliance with international information security standards.
- Customers can utilize Epec’s control system and software development services, which consider cybersecurity as a key aspect.
