Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The CR721S is suitable for machines with a large number of electrical and hydraulic functions. Its high I/O count allows numerous sensors and actuators to be connected. This reduces the requirement for multiple distributed controllers. Configurable I/O provides flexibility for different machine designs. The controller can therefore be used as a central control unit for complex mobile equipment.
Multiple CAN interfaces allow connection to machine ECUs and CAN networks. Ethernet provides additional communication and diagnostic capabilities. RS-232 is available for serial communication requirements. The controller supports IEC 61131-3 programming through the CODESYS environment. These capabilities provide a flexible platform for OEM machine development.
