New Controller System Reduces Costs for CANopen-Based Electrical Vehicle
Maximizes operator comfort level while delivering the performance and maintenance benefits of an electric or by-wire system
Stockholm - Danaher Motion, the global specialist in drive and control technology, has launched the VMC30, a new controller system for a wide range of electrically-operated industrial vehicles such as fork-lift trucks and other electrical vehicles. With this solution, vehicle manufacturers and users benefit from low total cost of ownership, since the platform is quickly and precisely configured to customer and application-specific requirements, and enables simple maintenance and troubleshooting to minimize downtime. Furthermore, the VMC30 system can be easily extended and allows for future technology changes, such as a migration to wireless communication.
The VMC30 platform, which represents a further development of tried-and tested control solutions, is based on one of the industry's leading processor cores for embedded controllers. The VMC30 unit can be connected via the CANopen bus to AC drives and motors for steering, traction, and lifting movements, and also other auxiliary equipment like joysticks, displays, wire guidance unit and generic CANopen products. Additional components as diverse as remote controls, hydraulic valves, relays, gas pedals, sensors can also be integrated. Finally, the system also provides connections for a range of service tools (e.g., for application development and troubleshooting), including a USB connection. On request, individual option cards are also available for the VMC30 system, which fulfills IP65 requirements as standard.
Design tools provided include a VMC30 software development package with example files and tools for quick and reliable development. Developers can focus on the functions and behavior of their electrical vehicle and use all ready software blocks in VMC30 as operating system, CANopen stack, system supervision etc. Company Information: Name: Danaher Motion Address: 1500 Mittel Boulevard City: Wood Dale State: IL ZIP: 60191-1073 Country: USA Phone: 866-993-2624 FAX: 636-281-1517 http://www.DanaherMotion.com
