General informationNotes and explanationsGeneral introduction3 steps to define the mobile control systemStep 1: Definition of the automation conceptFirst the automation concept must be defined. It depends on the size of themachine and complexity of the control task. Integration of the system componentsand after-sale service must also be taken into account when thesystem is designed.Small compact machines are often fitted with a central control system. Ifnecessary, some actuators, e.g. remote valve blocks, are connected to thesystem via a CAN module. Since components without the required protectionrating are often used they are mounted in a control cabinet. For practicalreasons the controller is then also installed there.If there is acontrol cabinetanyway, thecontroller is oftenalso mountedthere for practicalreasons.If it is possible from a technical and commercial point of view, the structureshould be decentralised. To do so, the machine is divided into logical functionunits. Hydraulic valve blocks, sensors and machine specific functions aredivided into a clearly structured network. The advantage: In case of a serviceonly individual modules have to be checked and replaced, if necessary.The following points should be taken into account for the systemdesign.Where are the system components positioned? Are they protectedagainst extreme mechancial stress (e.g. impact from stones or otherdebris on the connector system)? Extreme temperatures (e.g. hotasphalt) can also influence the components.Which wiring is chosen (material and cable design)?Where are the cables routed?Node1Node2Node3Node1Node2Node3Node1Node2Node3When the CANnetwork isdesigned, thenetwork structuremust be takeninto account.CAN_LCAN_HCAN_HCAN_HCAN_LCAN_LNode4Node5Node4Node5Node4Node5RingLinie/LineStern/StarVisit our website: www.ifm.com18
