Robust controller was developed particularly for use in off-highway and mobile vehicles on the basis of the current standards and long-term experience.

Ifm Electronic offers robust controllers for more mobility on chains and wheels. These are 32-bit controllers with up to 40 multifun?ctional inputs and 40 outputs.  

Controller for mobile machines
Mobile controllers meet the requirements of modern electronics. They are able to simultaneously perform complex and proportional functions with a large number of inputs and outputs. The controller was developed particularly for use in off-highway and mobile vehicles on the basis of the current standards and long-term experience.

Connection and interfaces
Besides the multifunctional inputs and outputs each control module is equipped with 4 CAN interfaces. They support all important bus protocols, different baud rates and also the tran?sparent and pre-processed data exchange. Programming to IEC 61131-3 ensures that all control functions can be easily integrated in the application programme.

Functions and advantages
Mechanical structure: Besides a reverse-polarity protected central plug for mobile applications the control electronics integrated in a compact metal housing provides all the necessary connections for the inputs and outputs, communication and programming. The RGB status LED displays the most important system messages.

The electronics: The core of the controller designed according to the applicable standards for electronics for mobile applications is a modern 32-bit processor. Monitoring and protection functions enable safe operation even under extreme operating conditions.

Configuration of the inputs and outputs: By means of the application software the inputs and outputs can be configured to adapt to the respective application. Depending on the type of input, a configuration as digital, frequency or analogue input with diagnostic function or as digital input or input for resistance measurement is possible. In addition some of the inputs support the evaluation of positive and negative digital input signals. The analogue inputs enable both current and voltage measurement. Most outputs provide a configuration as digital or PWM output with diagnostic capabilities with and without current control.

Programmable to IEC 61131-3 with CoDeSys: Programming with the standardised IEC 61131-3 languages enables the user to create clear and easy appli?cation software. In addition, libraries are available for special functions of the controller.

CAN interfaces with CANopen protocol: All controllers are equipped with four CAN interfaces to ISO 11898. The data is exchanged with all connected bus participants via these interfaces. The CANopen protocol enables quick and flexible connection to the bus. For communication with the motor and the power train all interfaces can be reconfigured to the J1939 protocol.
