MurCal’s CAT Retrofit Panel is a superior panel offering which includes the powerful, yet simple-to-configure MPC-20-R2 Controller. Includes MPC-20 in a sheet metal enclosure.


Murphy's PowerCore MPC-20-R2 is an all-purpose industrial controller that stands up to some of the harshest environments and is capable of handling sophisticated engine diagnostics whether installed on a mechanical or electronic engine. This powerful controller targets engine-driven pumps and irrigation, with the versatility to work in most engine-driven applications requiring either an auto or manual start. 

This fully sealed industrial controller gives CAT engine operators the ability to choose manual/auto start, manual/auto throttling options, and add a countdown timer or multiple start/stop times utilizing the internal clock. 


Our Retrofit Panel replaces the CAT factory panel with minimum effort. Deutsch connectors and mounting inserts are exactly the same. If the default parameters set by MurCal are not desired, the operator has the ability to fully configure the software from the front user interface or change these settings with the optional configuration tool. 

This panel upgrade allows users to automate or remotely control and monitor their engines from a computer or mobile device using a telematics unit. With this cloud-based dashboard, engine owners can control or schedule engine functions to reduce costs, establish alarms or warnings to prevent downtime, and optimize operational efficiency with intelligent analytics. 

MurCal’s CAT Retrofit Panel is capable of handling sophisticated engine diagnostics whether installed on the simplest mechanical engine or the most advanced, fully electronic Tier 4 engine supporting CAN J1939 and RS485 communications. 

The MPC-20’s large 3.8-inch QVGA Monochrome LCD screen is viewable in full-sun conditions. 

The panel’s input/output capabilities allow the operator to change the input type for the analog inputs, use additional analog inputs as digital ground inputs, assign functions and actions to digital inputs, and to use digital inputs as battery or ground inputs on 24VDC systems. 

Software


Optional Murphy PowerVision Configuration Studio™ (78000752), sold separately.
