Notes and explanations

How can an optimum network structure be implemented? Which operating concept is planned? Conventional design with mechanical switches and pushbuttons wired onto the controller module or an I /O module? Or is the machine to be operated via a dialogue module, e.g. PDM360? Which diagnostic and service functions are planned? Are system messages to be displayed or transferred via CANcom / GPS with position information of the machine, if needed? Can functions be grouped? In particular for the implemention of relaycontrolled systems using CAN modules and operating functions in dialogue modules often reduces the number of the required inputs and outputs. Step 2: Selection of the components In most cases selection of the system components is based on the needed data. So the number of the inputs and outputs and their function must be considered. The controllers and I/O modules of the ecomatmobile system are configurable in many ways. Almost all requirements for the system design can therefore be implemented. If components are mounted in the exposed part of the machine, the devices should have the protection rating IP 67. The CompactModules are an excellent choice for applications that are to extend the machine functions at a later point in time. Even if Machines with a variety of options are made, compact modules are the first choice. Flexibility of the SmartModules is fully utilised if they are connected using a prewired cable harness. The controllers and modules of the Cabinet series are intended for use in the cab or Control cabinets. For machines with open control panels, using a monochrome PDM360 with transflective display is recommended, as even frontal sun radiation does not influence readability.
