New MDC Joystick from Hydreco

The Hydreco (Poole – Dorset) Group is bringing a new MDC (Multifunctional Digital Control) to the international market. The new MDC Series Electrical Proportional joystick from the British company offers a complete range of output versions, including the CAN Bus protocol and CANopen as well as SAE J1939.

The joystick can be personalized with a wide selection of handle options allowing various types of control functions. The CAN Bus Hydreco system, developed by the Italian subsidiary in the group, is run by the Can Master CPU for receiving and processing information transmitted by sensors and other control devices sending timely commands to the electric and electrohydraulic actuators of the component. The Crane and Expansion CPU makes it possible to substantially increase the number of digital/analogue inputs and digital/PWM outputs.
