Kar-Tech’s LEGEND Radio Receiver takes wireless control to the next level, packing powerful processing, flexible I/O and advanced communications into a rugged platform built for tough, mobile hydraulic applications.
The LEGEND delivers superior performance for advanced machine automation with up to 35 configurable input/output pins, dual CANbus with SAE-J1939 support and a high-speed processor running at over 100 MHz, the. The LEGEND is ready for today’s machines and tomorrow’s designs with a large onboard memory, a real-time clock for data logging and compatibility with virtually every Kar-Tech RF module.
The enclosure is fully sealed but Kar-Tech can encapsulate or conformally coat internal electronics for severe duty use. The LEGEND can be used as a wireless receiver, standalone hydraulic controller or programmable I/O module to provide a powerful platform for OEM machine control.
Several versions are available with CODESYS runtime. Programming can be done in several ways: structured text, function block diagram and ladder diagram. The device is IEC 6113-3 compliant, making it a true wireless PLC.
The LEGEND Radio Receiver is a user programmable radio control system for the mobile hydraulic market. Its configurable I/O, advanced communications, programmable architecture and rugged construction make it an ideal platform for sophisticated mobile equipment control.
