General information Drilling rig Vibrations and extreme shaking in a drilling rig - no problem for ecomatmobile. High protection rating and an advanced mechanical concept: guarantee for a permanent reliable function. Robust use At work under extreme operating conditions: decentralised CAN modules with high protection rating can be mounted almost everywhere. The result: considerably reduced wiring. Hydraulics Strong vibrations, shocks or hidden pressure peaks have no effect on ifm pressure sensors. They are specially optimised for use in mobile vehicles. Here the hydraulic system in a crane is...

General information Forestry machine A forestry machine for soil cultivation: during the season almost 24 hours a day in operation. Uncompromising quality and reliability of the ecomatmobile system make this possible. Mobile harvesting station ecomatmobile in a beet harvester. What is important here is the trouble-free processing of the harvest and careful handling of the fruits. Tractor Dialogue module in the tractor, communication via the gateway functions of the R360 ClassicController and the ISO bus system defined for agricultural technology. Rail technology Inductive sensor for mobile applications:...

General information Shunting operation Changing from rail to road is made easy for the driver: ecomatmobile. The menu-guided operation enables quick and safe tracking on and off. Aircraft tractor Nose wheels get precisely and reliably into the aircraft tractor: the ClassicController controls and monitors the hydraulic functions. This achieves a precise use of force of the hydraulics which is adapted to the selected aircraft type. Container crane In all ports and harbours the loading and unloading speed increases. Only an advanced control system like ecomatmobile can keep pace. In ship-to-shore...

General information Bridge underside inspection equipment The SafetyController supports the operator and ensures a reliable operational process on the platform in line with the high demands. Fire engine Networked functional modules - high uptime. A disturbance in one of the independent intelligent modules does not necessarily lead to failure of the vehicle. The CAN bus additionally provides powerful diagnostic functions. Refuse truck Side loader in one-man operation. The ecomatmobile CompactModule is the tried-and-tested CANopen network interface for all sensor and actuator signals. Sewer cleaning...

General information Control technology and sensors for mobile use Life today cannot be imagined without electronics in modern motor vehicles and mobile machines. Many necessary and convenient functions cannot be implemented without electronic systems. As compared to electronics in consumer goods or in "normal" industrial use (e.g. in packaging machines or conveying systems), there are considerably higher requirements regarding use in mobile applications, to ensure sufficient reliability in all operating situations. Market requirements Mobile machines and installations are often tailored to special...

General information The most important functional units Modern mobile machines consist of different segments. The automation components of the ecomatmobile control system for mobile applications can be used for a multitude of tasks. Depending on the requirements, they assume control, monitor and display functions. Networking is made via the CAN bus with the CANopen protocol. Segment drive In contrast to utility vehicles, often consisting of a truck and a body, special machines are assembled from single elements. The drive is therefore precisely adapted to the machine and the later task. It has...
