Product catalog summary
Overview
The C2-20 actuator controller is designed for precise positioning and control of actuators, specifically working with Concens electrical in-line actuators. It features adjustable start and stop ramps for smooth operation and is compatible with actuators that have hall sensors only. The controller includes adjustable current limits to protect against overcurrent and uses a learning mode to ensure accurate positioning.

Specifications
- Supply Voltage: 12/24 VDC
- Actuator Current: Max 15 A continuous, 20 A short time
- Overheat Limit: 100 °C
- PWM Frequency: 2 kHz
- Dimensions: 73 x 43 x 25 mm
- Operating Temperature: -20 °C to +60 °C

Features
- Precise position control via analog voltage input
- High efficiency and load capacity
- DIN-rail mountable
- Learning cycle for accurate positioning
- Adjustable current limits and ramp times

Wiring and Settings
The controller requires a learning cycle to be performed initially, followed by settings adjustments using the C2-PROG interface or a PC. Key settings include speed, current limits, and ramp times. The controller provides digital outputs for position confirmation and fault signals.

Recommendations and Warnings
- Ensure proper calibration after power interruptions.
- Use an external fuse as the controller does not include one.
- Adjust current limits to be slightly higher than the maximum load current to extend actuator life.
- Ensure the power supply can provide sufficient current to avoid damage.

Product Variants
The C2-20 is available in different configurations, including PCB, DIN rail, and BOX versions, each with specific dimensions and weights.

C2-20-1

C2-20 Advanced Actuator Controller The C2-20 actuator controller provides advanced positioning and control of actuators through easy and flexible integration with the application. The controller is designed to work with Concens electrical in-line actuators in applications where positioning is required. C2-20 has adjustable start and stop ramps, which make smooth starts and stops possible. The C2-20 works in conjunction with actuators with hall only. Precise position control from analog voltage input Adjustable start ramp Adjustable stop ramp Settable current limit High efficiency High momentary load capacity Adjustable current limits in both directions protect the motor against overcurrent. In learning mode the number of hall pulses in a full stroke of the actuator is counted which enables accurate positioning during normal operation. DIN-rail base fittable “Position reached” - signal Learning cycle in both directions. Kick start after I-trip The position of the actuator is controlled by a DC voltage between 0 - 5,4 V or 0 - 10,8 V to the C2-20.
