Inclination sensors

General informationNotes and explanationsGeneral introductionAutomation of a mobile machineWhich devices are suited for the individual applications mainly depends onthe design of the machine or installation. Also, the service and mountingconcept is important for the device selection.For the sake of simplicity a distinction is made between three concepts:Machines with central controllerIn general, these are machines with fewer operating functions. Only a fewcontroller inputs and outputs are needed.Controller module with suitable I/O configuration (e.g. CR0020).Dialogue module to display system states and diagnostic data. Dependingon the requirements a PDM360 display with graphic capabilities(e.g. CR1050) or the PDM360 smart display (e.g. CR1070).F1esc F2 F3 F4 F5 F6Extreme shockand vibration:Reliable functionof the sensitiveelectronics mustbe guaranteedunder harshoperating conditionsas well.Typical applications:Equipment mounted on agricultural machines, access platforms, compactconstruction machines, simple monitoring and diagnostic modules.Machines with distributed intelligenceMachines, which can be split up in logical function blocks, can often be operatedwith several stand-alone controller modules. The input and outputrequirement of these machines is higher and often includes several independentcontroller elements. Only a few data have to be exchanged between theindividual controllers.Two or more controller modules with suitable I/O configuration (e.g.CR0020 / CR0505). Each module has its own application program. Data,which are important for the whole system, are provided via the CAN bus.Dialogue module to display system states and diagnostic data.Depending on the requirements a PDM360 colour display with graphiccapabilities (e.g. CR1051) or the PDM360 smart display (e.g. CR1070).Typical applications:Complex construction machines, mobile cranes, aircraft tractors, multipleunitvehicles, fork-lift trucks.Typical exampleof a machinewith a centralcontroller.Distributedintelligence: Inthe differentfunctionalsegments ofmobile cranessegment-specificcontrol units areoften used.Visit our website: www.ifm.com16
