6-Channel CAN-Controlled Heavy-Duty Relay Controller engineered for mobile machinery in agricultural, mining, construction, and specialty vehicle applications. Features 9V–36V DC wide supply input with transient surge suppression.
A robust, automotive-grade actuator solution designed specifically for demanding mobile machinery, off-highway vehicles, and severe industrial power switching.
Integrated load-dump suppression designed for ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 compliance automotive electrical test standards. Protects internal microelectronics against destructive starter motor back-EMF, inductive spikes, and alternator runaway pulses.
Features 6 dedicated relay outputs rated for 5A continuous resistive load per channel (NO/COM isolated contacts). Provides deterministic digital actuation for hydraulic solenoid valves, halogen/LED light arrays, electric motors, and pumps.
Directly compatible with standard 12V and 24V mobile battery architectures with reverse polarity protection. Maintains uninterrupted deterministic CAN communications even during heavy engine cold-crank voltage dips down to 9V.

Optimized for severe mobile deployments where wiring harnesses must be reduced, power circuits require galvanic isolation, and actuators respond directly to in-cab or automated CAN commands.
Deployed on modern agricultural tractors, combine harvesters, seeders, and smart chemical sprayers. Acts as a decentralized CAN node governing boom section valves, chemical injection solenoids, grain tank unloading augers, and high-intensity LED field worklamps. Replaces bulky point-to-point in-cab wiring with a streamlined CAN bus pair.
Installed on hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, backhoes, and soil compactors. Operates auxiliary hydraulic hammer diversion circuits, quick-coupler safety release valves, cab HVAC blower motor speeds, and audible reversing alarm strobes. Handles high-vibration shock profiles and washdown cycles without contact bouncing.
Engineered to survive 24/7 duty on 240-ton open-pit haul trucks, blast hole drill rigs, and underground continuous miners. Powers electric retarder cooling fan relays, automated dry-chemical fire suppression trigger squibs, automatic central lubrication cycle pumps, and master battery isolator contactors amidst severe inductive surges.
Targeted for airport ground power units (GPU), aircraft de-icers, fire apparatus, aerial bucket utility trucks, and municipal street sweepers. Controls high-power warning light bars, hydraulic outrigger stabilization valves, water pump clutches, and hydraulic tailgates from a centralized cab touchscreen controller via CAN 2.0B frames.
