Controllers with high protection requirements

Products

Information

The range of application of these controllers varies from simple to complex solutions. The robust design with protection rating IP67 allows their use in harsh conditions. They are suitable for direct installation in vehicles and mobile machines without having to be installed in an additional protective housing. The units provide high immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMC) and come with an E1 type approval. As a general rule, controllers for safety-related applications are certified by TÜV. The signals produced by sensors are quickly and reliably processed by the controllers and provided to the actuators. Besides multifunctional inputs and outputs for different applications, each controller has several CAN interfaces. Data from the engine controller can be processed by means of the SAE J1939 protocol. The IEC 61131-3 based programming software CODESYS enables easy and convenient adjustment of the controller function to the individual application.

IFM ELECTRONICE28In a world of constantly growing international trade volumes and cargo traffic, containerized goods are getting a more and more higher share of the same.
