Sensor handles the pressure of off-highway duties
A new high- specification CANbus pressure sensor designed for off-highway vehicles is likely to find wider application thanks to its demanding specifications.
Built around a 16bit, 40MHz controller, the ESX-micro provides all the processing power needed for mobile applications, working independently as a measuring, driving and controlling device for sensor/actuator management and capable of executing a number of separate or related tasks in real time.
The controller features up to analogue inputs, two rotational speed inputs and eight digital inputs, and provides up to four PWM outputs, two digital outputs, two analogue outputs and one motor drive output.
Targeted at applications using the CANbus protocol for communications, the ESX-micro provides a single CAN interface as standard, with the option of two CAN 2.0B ports.
An RS232 interface is optional, and a baby board can also be fitted to provide USB, LIN and other interfaces.
The unit is mounted in a cast aluminium housing protected to IP65 as standard (with IP67 protection optional) and is fitted with a Gore-Tex breathing filter.
Fully protected against short circuits, overload etc, it has built-in diagnostic capabilities and an operating range of -40 to +85C.
The ESX-micro meets all relevant automotive, agricultural and construction industry standards. Request a free brochure from Sensor-Technik UK ...
