EPIC
Ā®
Programmable Controller
The operating system is an EPIC
ļ¢
(Electrical Processed
Independent Control) with CAN-bus (Controller Area
Network) technology. The CAN-bus system uses multiple
nodes that contain remote controllers. The remote node
controllers communicate with Node-1 (master) controller by
sending information data packets over a two-wire buss line.
The data packets are tagged with addresses that identify
each system component.
With the CAN-bus system, independently powered pumps,
motors, and cylinders provide controller driven control logic,
pump control, motor control, on-board diagnostics, and
service information. MAX-ER data is shown on information
screen in operatorās cab (see Main Display in Section 3 of
MAX-ER Operator Manual).
MAX-ER Wireless Remote Controls
To operate the MAX-ER wireless remote control see
Operating Controls and Procedure in Section 3 of MAX-ER
Operator Manual. Also, the MAX-ER Function mode screen
must be selected on the main display.
Power is available to hand-held wireless remote control
when, engine is running, MAX-ER function mode is selected,
and power button is pressed. When a MAX-ER wireless
remote control is enabled, an input signal from wireless
transmitter is sent to a receiver on the crane. The receiver
sends the input signal to the Node-1 controller. Node-1
controller sends an output signal to enable MAX-ER
component in the direction or position selected.
Electrical System
Electrical cables WNE56 from Node-4 controller and WN56
from Node-0 on crane provide input/out connections to
Node-7 on wheeled counterweight assembly.
