dESX 4CM A
Controllers Mobile Machines

The dESX 4cm a control unit has been designed for use in the most adverse environmental conditions. With a die-cast aluminum housing, it has a protection class of up to IP6k9k. Vibration, dirt and dust, and extreme temperatures such as those found in mining, agriculture and forestry are no challenge for this freely programmable control unit. The dESX 4cm a is certified for safety applications according to SIL2/PLd. dESX 4cm a has a powerful multicore processor with 3x 300 MHz as well as a managed Ethernet switch, which processes signals of up to 100 Mbit/s without negatively affecting the processor performance. There are two Ethernet and two Broad-R-Reach interfaces available. Furthermore, machine communication can be implemented on 4 CAN ports. The high-performance dESX 4cm a provides a total of 34 configurable, multifunction analog and digital inputs. They read and process a wide variety of signal types, including incremental encoder signals and the SENT protocol. The control unit provides fixed and programmable supply voltages between 5 and 12 V for supplying sensors. The 29 low-side and high-side outputs handle up to 4A each, depending on the configuration.
