ecomatmobile used inconstruction machines
Sensors and controllers used in muddy and wet conditionsWe do not worry when leaving them out in the rain. Water, permanentcondensation or dirt are no problem for our systems for mobile appli-cations. The special mechanical design of the housing and a reliablesealing concept prevent the penetration of moisture.Suitable connectors and connection cables ensure that protectionrating IP 69K does not end at the housing connections. Benefit fromthe many years of application know-how from ifm electronic foryour construction machine!

Sensors and controllers for shocks and vibrationsWhere the going gets tough, the material is exposed to permanentvibrations or extreme impact. This is why our sensors for mobile appli-cations are fully potted. Connectors are protected against unintendedloosening by a special vibration protection. The mechanical design ofcontrollers and modules is especially rated for permanent shock andvibration. Whether on the field or in the forest: no challenge can betoo hard for our systems.

Sensors and controllers in snowy and icy conditionsThat leaves us cold: extreme weather conditions with iciness orblazing heat are no problem for our systems for mobile applications.Their wide temperature range allows use in all climatic zones.All sensors and controllers must prove their resistance in cyclicaltemperature shock tests before leaving production.Resistant housing materials ensure that salt deposits, as they mayarise during the winter when gritters are used, do not affect the product.

Sensors and controllers with thunder and lightningEven if high voltage is in the air: our sensors and control systems arenot impressed. The complex electronics is protected against electro-magnetic interference as detailed EMC tests have shown.Conducted interference is reliably filtered out and cannot affect thecontrollers. This ensures that the data exchange via the CAN interfacesfunctions reliably even under most adverse conditions such as inoutdoor applications of transport and logistics.

Electronics for hydraulics
In mobile machines and equipment most
functions are carried out by hydraulic
systems. In the meantime electronic control
of the valves and pumps has become a
standard in modern machines.
ifm’s ecomatmobile system provides
current-controlled PWM outputs and
optimised control functions for the power
outputs. This leads to a manufacturer-
independent interface between
hydraulics and electronics.

Remote maintenance and diagnosis
The detection of diagnostic data in the
sensors and network components is the
basis for a powerful and low-cost remote
maintenance concept. Via a radio connec-
tion service, operating data is read and
can be changed, if necessary. Thus faults
can be rectified and machine functions
can be optimised to the operating condi-
tions. A service engineer on site is not
necessary. The CANremote radio gateway
transfers the data between the CAN and
GSM / UMTS networks. The GPS option
allows detection of machine positions and
implementation of position-dependent
functions (e.g. tracking, precision farming).

E1 approval and highest EMC resistance
All sensors and control components meet
the high electrical requirements for noise
emission and immunity for components
for mobile use.
The units also have the e1 type approval
by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (German
Federal Motor Transport Authority).
This allows installation of the units on
vehicles without invalidating their
operating permit. Beyond the required
EMC limit value of the e1 type approval
all units have an increased EMC resistance
of 100 V/m and withstand pulses from the
on-board vehicle supply system without
problems.

Safety controllers
The integrated hardware and software
functions as well as the programming
according to IEC61131 are the basis for the
use of ecomatmobile components in
applications up to PL d (EN ISO 13849-1)
or SILcl 2 (IEC 62061).
The CANsafety extension allows the safe
exchange of safety-critical data between
bus participants e.g. two safety controllers
on the same bus cable, parallel to the
”normal“ communication.

Above-average qualitycreates reliability
Sensors and controllers of the highest quality and reliabilitySolutions of maximum quality and reliability – that is what thecustomers expect from ifm electronic. In addition to the qualitymanagement according to ISO 9001 all ifm systems are developed andcertified according to applicable standards for use in mobile vehicles.ifm also offers control systems for safety-related applicationscomplying with EN ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061.

All ifm units have to prove their reliability
in extensive tests. Common product tests
are enhanced and completed by com-
bined tests such as temperature shock and
vibration tests as well as special leak tests,
e.g. using high-pressure water jets.
Among others, these test procedures
lead to protection rating IP 69K that all
sensors and connectors for mobile applica-
tions have. Before the ifm products go to
the customer they are all submitted to a
100 % final inspection.
Only these measures allow ifm to
guarantee the quality and reliability they
promise the customer.
