Vehicle Control

One of the special applications of our PLC system is the control of buses and special vehicles.

The software development environment (project manager, editor, compiler debugger) - due to the general principles, mentioned at controls - is the same as the PLC development system.

Whereas the hardware conforms to the special needs of vehicles (temperature, vibration, EMC).

The communication is compatible with the SAE 1939 that is based on the CAN protocol, which is standard in automotive industry.

We can offer three architectures:

1. Large systems with CPU

 

Logic program is running in the CPU while Nodes can contain local programs which run when the CPU is off. (e.g. opening the front door when the bus is empty).

2. Networking nodes without CPU

 

In case of maximum 3 Nodes CPU is needless. One of the Nodes fills the part of CPU.

Local program in Nodes is allowable.

3. Stand alone node control

In most cases a single Node may be enough for the I/O-s present in a vehicle.

The specifications of the hardware units produced to date are as follows:

- CPU

- Vehicle node
