Central Control Module handles heavy-equipment functions.

Press Release Summary:




Model CL-100 HED Central Control Module, for CANLink(TM) family of control components, is placed along CAN systems for trafficking communications to areas that must be isolated. It includes 32-bit microprocessor and RS232 connection. Incorporated J1708 port enables CL-100 to talk to other parts of machinery that operate on that protocol. Field-rugged, CL-100 is not affected by EMI/RFI, extreme vibration and temperatures, dirt, moisture, or harsh equipment wash downs.

New Module Brings More Options to the CAN Product Line



(Hartford, WI) HED, Inc. recently introduced the CL-100 Central Control Module to boost the versatility of their CANLink(TM) family of control components for superior control of off-road and heavy equipment functions.

The CAN (controlled area network) system operates on the SAE J1939 protocol and allows system controllers, sensors and actuators throughout a piece of machinery to intelligently communicate with each other at very high speeds (250kb/sec.). The CL-100 is an HED CCM (Central Control Module) that is placed along a CAN system for trafficking communications to those areas that must be isolated such as a "Smart engine" or a portion of the apparatus.

To efficiently handle a high volume of traffic through multiple CAN lines the CL-100 includes a powerful 32-bit microprocessor for complex decision-making. The module has an RS232 connection to access system operation via a computer, laptop or palm pilot. A J1708 port enables the CL-100 to talk to other parts of the machinery that operate on that protocol.

As with all CANLink family components, the CL-100 is field-rugged and is not affected by high EMI/RFI, extreme vibration and temperatures, dirt, moisture and harsh equipment wash downs. The engineering staff at HED works closely with designers to provide the modules and software that meet customer demands.
