CAN Box 8FR-6

Programmable Power Supply Solution

CAN Box 8FR-6 is a programmable controller for power distribution for mobile machines and commercial vehicles. It enables power supply to multiple consumers and can also be used to control functions.

The CAN Box 8FR-6 contains:

Eight fuse and relay outputs with up to 15 A
Six high-side outputs with up to 2 A
Eight analogue inputs
Four digital or frequency inputs with switchable pull-up
Two CAN bus interfaces

All outputs are equipped with current measurement. The relays provide digital feedback of each output (NO/NC), allowing diagnosis of defective fuses or monitoring of relay status.

You can program ICCS CAN Box 8FR-6 with WEcontrol Designer. This IEC61131-3 compliant programming environment offers a wide range of PLC functionalities, software simulation and online debug over CAN.

Applications

Power supply of multiple consumers
Transmission of analogue signals on CAN bus
CAN-to-CAN gateway functions
Various diagnostic options (e.g. defective fuses, relay status, current measurement on all outputs, temperature measurements, etc.)
Load reduction of other control units by taking over the control of numerous consumers
Retrofitting of existing systems
