MRS Micro PLC CAN 4 ANA – Analog Controller

The Micro PLC CAN 4 ANA offers many possible applications with 4 analog input and outputs whose function can be individually defined. These I/Os can be used as four analog outputs for currents from 0 to 24 mA and voltages from 0 to 10 V. They can also be configured as analog inputs. Additionally, the controller provides the option to configure two of the four I/Os as frequency inputs.

Input and output configuration

  • Inputs can be configured as analog (0…12.5 V or 0…36 V), digital, current (0…24/31 mA) and frequency inputs; resolution is 12 bit and accuracy is 1% of full scale.
  • Outputs can be configured as a constant voltage source or an analog voltage output.
  • The frequency input measures up to 4.3 kHz with max. ± 3 % accuracy.
  • All data can be conveniently sent and read out via the CAN bus interface.

Housing, supply and processor

  • Weight 28 g. IP6K8 applies without potentiometer and with the correct mounting position; otherwise it is IP40/IP20 (without/with potentiometer).
  • The CAN interface is high-speed 2.0 A/B (ISO 11898-2).
  • Current consumption is 35 mA at 12 V and 40 mA at 24 V; quiescent current is 20 µA at 12 V and 24 V.
  • The processor is a Freescale S9S08DZ60: 8 MHz clock, 60 K flash, 4 K RAM and 2 K EEPROM.

Use in projects

The Micro PLC CAN 4 ANA is the controller in our CAN-based tank level monitoring solution for fire trucks, together with the MConn Mini CAN display and 2 pressure sensors: CAN tank level monitoring for fire trucks. See MRS MConn Mini for the display, and MRS Electronic and Control units for other products.

EHR Elektronik develops application software for MRS Electronic control units. The EHR CANopen node software is also available on request for this product; details are on the CANopen I/O node page.
