STW ESX-3CS Control Unit

Sensor-Technik Wiedemann (STW) presents a new member of its ESX family of mobile central control units, the ESX-3CS. 

• Freely programmable
• Compatible with regard to input and output types to other members of the ESX family
• Features new housing concept
• For use in adverse conditions
• Includes 30 analog and digital inputs and outputs in the standard configuration
• Compact control unit with sensor-actuator management
• Obtains flexibility through 16 multi-functional inputs, the functionality of which can be adjusted using software
• Detection of power, voltage, frequencies or digital switching conditions (events) is possible at the input
• Up to 14 outputs are available
• Parallel switching of several outputs within a group enables control of actuators with higher power requirements
• Two outputs are designed as low-side outputs and thus facilitate bi-channel shutdown of actuators if required
• Offers two CAN connections, as well as optional Ethernet, an RS232 and a LIN interface
• Based on 32 bit TriCore processor, which is clocked with 300 MHz
• Separate system supervisor with programmable watchdog is available
• Development environments for programming languages “C” and CODESYS are provided
• Complies with standards for conformity according to CE and E1, as well as the standards for vehicle, agricultural and construction machine industry
• Planning is underway for further version for safety-orientated applications according to PLd (DIN EN ISO13849-1:2016-06) or SIL 2 (IEC 61508 Edition 2.0 2010-04)
