Eaton CONTROL F(x) software and EFX, SFX and


VFX Controllers let you develop programs for controlling electrical and electrohydraulic components. With
the CONTROL F(x) graphical interface, you can
create, debug, and monitor control logic using
industry standards and Eaton supplied functions.
This means you can integrate electrohydraulic
systems easily and efficiently. You get reliable results
while saving process timeand money.

EFX Electronic Controllers and IO Modules


Eaton EFX electronic controllers and IO modules
provide a full range of electronic control solutions.
With an array of controller
options and IO modules, an
EFX system can be created
to address any application
need. All EFX products are
IP67 rated and are built for
the harsh mobile and industrial application environment.
The EFX line is programmed
and configured using the
intuitive CONTROL F(x) programming software.

Applications: Excavators,
forestry, telehandlers,
utility vehicles, cranes, ag
machinery, paving, and other
specialty machines.
Specifications: 4 different
EFX controllers and 3
IO expansion modules
provide analog, digital, and
frequency inputs as well as
digital, PWM, and currentcontrolled outputs. Each EFX
controller has both CANopen
and J1939 interfaces.

VFX Display Controllers and LCDs


Eatons VFX controllers
provide an operator interface
solution for electro-hydraulic
systems. The VFX 1000 controller is used for dedicated
display control, while the
VFX 2000 also provides
digital IO for additional
controls. The VFX controllers are built for the harsh
mobile and industrial application environment and are
programmed and configured
using the intuitive CONTROL
F(x) programming software.
There are two LCD display
options available for use in
conjunction with the VFX
controllers.

Applications: Excavators,
forestry, telehandlers,
utility vehicles, cranes, ag
machinery, paving, and other
specialty machines.
Specifications: VFX 1000
& 2000 are used for electronic display control and
networked via CAN into
electro-hydraulic systems.
The VFX 2000 provides an
additional 50 digital IO. Two
LCD displays, 6.5 in. and
10.4 in. are used in conjunction with either of the VFX
controllers for a complete
operator interface solution.

SFX High Performance Controllers


The SFX high performance
controllers are designed
to address applications
where control loop times
are critical. Whether its a
precise closed-loop control
or a safety-critical application, the SFX controllers
are built to address the
demands of complex applications.
The SFX controllers are built
for the harsh mobile and
industrial application environment and is programmed
and configured using the
intuitive CONTROL F(x) programming software.

Applications: Excavators,
forestry, telehandlers,
utility vehicles, cranes, ag
machinery, paving, and other
specialty machines.
Specifications: The SFX
controllers have multiple
I/O for analog, digital, and
frequency inputs, and digital,
PWM, and analog outputs.
They also contain a 32 bit
processor, a CAN interface
and the SFX 2000 has a
Time-Triggered Protocol controller for SIL3 safety-critical
applications.
