The digsy ICN – Valve-node serves as a local interface module which has been developed especially for the use with proportional valves. It offers a high number of inputs and outputs whose specification fit perfectly to the requirement of hydraulic components. As the basis of this CAN-node is a 16-bit microcontroller, optional data preprocessing is possible. This results in the fact that the Valve-node is an incredible flexible I/O-device with an optimal price/performance ratio which can also be used as low-cost stand-alone controller (OEM version).
