Modern vehicles and mobile machines require powerful control electronics to process the large number of input and output signals. According to the IFM, the new 3rd generation Ecomat controller was developed for this. Both controllers have scalable I / O assignments for standard and safety applications. Safe and non-safe controllers can also communicate with each other.

Configurable inputs and outputs

In addition to the diagnostics-capable, multifunctional inputs and outputs, the device is equipped with two Ethernet ports and four CAN interfaces. The CAN interfaces support all important bus protocols (CANopen, CANopen Safety and J1939) and the transparent and preprocessing data exchange.

Codesys programming (version 3.5) allows easy integration of the control functions into the application program. If required, all inputs and outputs can also be configured as safe channels. Furthermore, the compact metal housing still contains the mobile-compatible and coded central plug, according to IFM. (jv)
