Programmable electronic control unit ESX.4cl-ag

CAN Busembeddedsafety

The powerful electronic compact control unit ESX.4cl-ag is a flagship among the programmable control units in the STW portfolio. It offers extensive functionality in a very compact and robust die-cast aluminium housing. This makes the ESX.4cl-ag suitable for the most demanding applications, particularly in mobile machines with limited installation space. Compact, more cores, and communication capable The ESX.4cl-ag has a processor with six cores (Infineon AurixTM). The ESX.4cl-ag can be networked with other components in the system via four CANBUS interfaces and a managed Ethernet switch with a total of one 100Base-Tx Ethernet and three Single Pair Ethernet ports (100Base-T1 and 1000Base-T1). The Ethernet switch enables the exchange of large amounts of data without negatively affecting the controller's available processing performance. The specially designed SPE interfaces are capable of implementing the new High-Speed ISOBUS standard. 58 freely configurable analogue and digital multifunctional inputs ensure efficient reading and processing of a wide variety of signal types (most are also with SENT functionality). The user has the choice of supplying the connected sensors from either programmable or fixed supply voltages, from 5 to 12 V. A total of 56 low-side and high-side outputs each deliver up to 4 A, depending on the configuration. This allows connected components and actuators to be supplied with power, and when required, also verified by the system. Two 10 A half-bridges make it possible to control brushed electric motors with the ESX.4cl-ag. A second switch-off path disconnects the outputs of the ESX.4cl-ag reliably and safely.
