CrossFire IX

COMPACT I/O DEVICE FOR RELIABLE CONTROL

CrossFire IX is a 32-bit I/O device for use in On- and Off-road industrial vehicles and equipment. It has 22 I/O channels and fieldbus network, including CANopen support.

It also features optional data storage capabilities and a WiFi interface that can be used for extracting data from the control system, for example through an operators Smartphone, tablet or an on-board system. CrossFire IX is built for coping with harsh environmental conditions, enabling installation close to the hydraulic block it is serving. AMP connectors enable inexpensive and reliable installation with cost and time saving.
