The mobile controls from the iFLEX E (Extended Class) series are programmable controls which combine the performance of a highly integrated 32-bit microprocessor technology with compact design. Moreover, they are designed for use in rough environments, including extreme operating temperatures. The design of the plugs and housing have a protection class rating of up to IP67 , EMC durability, and are shake-proof.

In addition to the high level of performance, due to the 32-bit microprocessor technology, the iFLEX E controls permit a large number of inputs and outputs for digital and analog signals which enable processing functions in the sensors and actuators. The inputs and outputs can be individually configured and customized to suit the application. Proportional valves can be run directly through PWM outputs with internal current measurement without an additional amplifier.

The integrated CAN bus interfaces enable the integration of intelligent sensors and actuators with CANopen. Several iFLEX E2 control units can also be linked to
create a powerful decentralized network. In addition, the iFLEX E2 unit supports engine data communication as specified by SAE J1939 .

The iFLEX E2 mobile control unit also features internal interfaces for extension modules allowing up to 8 extra inputs and 4 outputs. The iFLEX E2 can be customized
to suit your requirements at any time.

Recording and permanent storage of process data is no problem – the iFLEX E series has a real-time clock and a 256 kB RAM with battery back-up.

For simple fault diagnostic, the iFLEX E2 has a 7-segment display which can be viewed from the outside. Two interfaces are provided: An RS232 service interface
and an Ethernet 10Base-T interface with industrial Ethernet M12 plug connector for programming.

For more complex applications, the iFLEX E5 offers over 100 inputs and outputs.

The iFLEX E series application software can be developed in the high-level language “C” or with a PLC programming system in accordance with IEC 61131-3.
