IQAN-MC43 performance (Parker Hannifin)

Parker's IQAN-MC41, -MC42 and -MC43 are robust master controllers designed as the ideal solution for hydraulic control systems in mobile hydraulic vehicles and machines. Parker IQAN® master controllers enable optimised system architectures that accelerate development and improve OEM revenues.

The three sizes of the MC4x family of master controllers have varying amounts of local I/O for input/output use and multiple CAN bus controllers for diagnostics and CAN gateway functions. The robust aluminium housing has sealed automotive connectors and is designed for harsh outdoor environments.

Machine applications for the MC4x master controllers are easy to create with the easy-to-use IQAN programming tools. This makes the IQAN-MC41, -MC42 and -MC43 master controllers ideal for any mobile machine application.
