2 ecomat mobile Control systems for use in mobile machines ifm efector introduces innovative product solutions for ship-to-shore automation applications In ports and harbors worldwide, vehicles such as cranes, spreaders and stackers are used to transport containers from ship to shore. These special purpose vehicles are exposed to extreme shock and vibration and tolerate the effects of the coastline wind, salt and intense sun. ifm s mobile controls are encased in robust, completely sealed IP67 housings and withstand high levels of shock, vibration, EMI and temperature extremes. Port spreader control Crane lift position I/O modules eliminate complex wiring harnesses and reduce installation costs due to fewer wire terminations. On-board CANopen I/Os for transportation logistics With no moving parts, compact pressure sensors monitor hydraulic clamping and lubricant pressure. Pressure sensors monitor hydraulic systems

3 R ifm efector offers a complete family of control solutions that are designed for vehicle automation applications. These products can be used on vehicles to control lifting, moving, processing, transporting and other automated operations. Our products can be applied individually or as a complete platform solution and include the following: A variety of sensors designed to withstand extreme shock and vibration, dirt, moisture and electrical interference. Hardened PLC R360 controllers with integrated standard IEC software for optimal control. A variety of CAN-enabled I/O options. Vehicle operation status is indicated on a graphic HMI display suitable for severe environments. The unit includes a built-in CAN interface to allow remote placement from controller. Accessories to improve service including CANopen cellular modem, CANopen data logger and hand-held CAN analyzer. ifm efector s patented noise immunity technology enables products to ignore conducted and radiated electrical noise. Broad operating temperature range of C. Electronics are encased in completely sealed housings making them resistant to liquid ingress, moisture and chemicals. High speed inputs, analog inputs, and PWM outputs improve application flexibility. CANopen network wiring eliminates complex wiring harnesses and increases I/O capacity. Inductive proximity and tilt sensors detect vehicle position, gather data and send feedback to controller. Electronic sensors monitor vehicle operation ifm s HMI display has graphic capabilities for viewing and communicating vehicle data. Displays for visualizing vehicle performance ifm s R360 mobile controller is a hardened PLC that incorporates a standard CANopen network interface. Robust controllers for ground support

Industrial product design ifm mobile controls are designed and tested to withstand exposure to extreme shock, temperature fluctuations, vibration, dirt, moisture, and electrical interference. Compact housing encase and protect the electronics from chemicals, dirt and liquid ingress. UV-resistant materials prevent damage from exposure to sunlight. Noiseimmune technology enables products to ignore conducted and radiated electrical noise. Short-circuit, overload and reverse polarity protected outputs eliminate damage during operation. branch office trade partner covered from another country Innovative technology ifm efector uses a flexible polyimide film as a carrier for all electronic circuits. These circuits can be rolled, folded or bent to fit a particular sensor. Flexible circuits enable ifm sensors to withstand harsh conditions such as shock and vibration. ifm s core competency for industrial product design is to develop products with easy user interface for programming, robust housings, integrated displays, flexible output stages, both digital and analog. ifm makes large investments in research and development. Product development engineers design products that reduce machine downtime, increase productivity, and simplify installation. ifm currently holds more than 380 patents worldwide. The Development and Production Center for control and networking technology is located at ifm ecomatic in Kressbronn on Lake Constance, Germany.

5 ifm s mobile controls exceed the demands of severe off-road applications R360 mobile controllers Hardened PLCs with integrated CANbus masters are easily programmed using standardized IEC software. SAE J1939 controller/gateway ifm s SAEJ1939 controls vehicle applications, exchanges data with the vehicle s powertrain and reduces the size of a cab s wiring harness. HMI displays Graphic display of vehicle operating conditions and diagnostics. Simplify visualization of vehicle performance data. CAN-enabled I/O modules Connect sensors and actuators to controller via the CANbus and eliminate excess wiring. Inductive proximity switches Proximity switches feature robust housings that incorporate extended range technology, highly visible LED status indication and 18 gauge cable that resists chemicals. Product testing and reliability ifm efector performs a number of tests on products to ensure reliability in the harshest environmental conditions. Salt spray test This test is designed to accelerate weathering by direct exposure in a highly corrosive atmosphere. This test is also very useful in predicting the potential for mechanical failure from corrosion, due to long term environmental exposure. Temperature 40 O C 23 O C 22 hr. 22 hr. 22 hr. 22 hr. 2 hr. 2 hr. 2 hr. 5% sodium chloride spray continuously during each 2 hour period Temperature/humidity test Temperature +55 O C +25 O C 12 hr. Ramp 3 hr. 12 hr. Storage at 93% RM 3 50% RM The objective of this test is to simulate conditions that occur within an operating environment that would cause premature failure of conventional electronic systems (i.e. metallic component corrosion and electronic component drift). Temperature shock test 6 cycle 95% 12m 12 hr. This test is conducted to insure that rapid changes in temperature have no impact on the integrity of your system. Stainless steel housing Stainless steel housing, robust ceramic measuring cell ensure reliable pressure monitoring and/or switching in hydraulic systems.
