Sensor technology Wiedemann
Supports tractor element management
Sensor-Technik Wiedemann (STW) has developed the on-board control unit 'BCX.4cs-ag' for agricultural machinery, which supports the bidirectional communication required for Tractor-Implement-Management via Isobus.
Vehicle electrical system control units ensure the distribution and regulation of energy flows in a vehicle or vehicle combination. In addition, electrical consumers such as heaters or lights can be switched and regulated directly via the on-board control unit. With Tractor-Implement-Management, the attachment provides the tractor with the optimum parameters for the process, such as the best driving speed. With ten high-side and two low-side outputs, CAN interface and eight 10 A half bridges, various communication and control options are available. Sensors can be supplied with 5 to 12 V. The on-board power supply control unit from STW complies with IP6K9K. Operation is also possible in the event of vibrations and shocks, and the housing protects against aggressive media. The operating temperature is between -40 and +85 °C.
