The ecomatmobile Basic Line from ifm electronic is a new control platform for mobile vehicles. The Basic Line is a three-piece modular system that is easy to wire, simple to install and reduces the amount of space needed for visualisation on a dashboard. The Basic Line control platform includes three compact units – controller, relay and display – that together control the automation of mobile vehicles.
The Basic Controller is a compact module with 32-bit processing power and two CAN-bus ports. The mini controller replaces conventional relay logic and complex process controllers. Electronics are integrated into a compact, plastic housing that provides connections for inputs and outputs, communication and programming. A status LED indicates the current operating status of the module.
The Basic Relay module is designed to simplify wiring and battery connection and eliminate external terminals. The easily expandable relay streamlines wiring and becomes a decentralised ‘control room’ for mobile applications. Installation is simple and the compact relay module can be installed in areas with limited mounting space and those with splashing water.
Basic Display is a full-colour high-resolution display that replaces conventional analogue displays and traditional gauges on a dashboard. The display provides a resolution of 320x240 pixels and a colour depth of up to 256 colours.
