Engcon delivers 10,000th DC2 smart controller for excavators

Engcon has delivered its 10,000th DC2 excavator control system. The DC2 boasts a range of functions and has remote support via the mobile phone network.

"DC2 is one of the smartest systems on the market. Used with the MIG2 joystick, the DC2 can proportionally control up to six functions simultaneously. Additional functions can be connected and turned on and off by buttons on the joystick. It is also possible to equip the DC2 with wheel or track control and to use it to control boom swing or a two-piece boom," says Roberth Jonsson, general manager of Microprop of Umeå, which developed the DC2 for Engcon.

One of the DC2's smartest features is the opportunity for remote support via the mobile phone network.

"Remote support via the mobile phone network is a unique function that helps excavator operators to save time and money. The support team at Engcon or its dealer can connect to the DC2 control system, wherever the excavator is located. That saves a lot of travel and technician time, as well as money," explains Jonsson.
