A5:M2 Electronic Control Unit

Specifications A5:M2 Electronic Control Unit Specifications

A5:M2
The A5:M2 is an electronic hydraulic (EH) control unit.
It can function as a general-purpose control capable
of fitting into varied applications by simply changing
the software application level. A key feature of this
unit is the ability to configure the inputs and the
outputs in many different combinations.

FEATURES
• Exceptional environmental tolerances allow for a
wide range of mounting locations
• Built rugged for mobile or stationary control
• Provides configurable conditioned 5V and 8V sensor
power supplies
• Supports J1939 (CAN) and J1587 (J1708) data links
• Tested to SAE standards (J1455, J1211, J1113, J1960)
• Built-in fault detection and diagnostics
• Programmable current control
- Programmable dither period and amplitude
