ESX 4CL Control Unit
Controllers
The compact and powerful electronic control unit ESX 4CL is the flagship of the control units. It offers extensive functionality in a very compact and robust die-cast aluminum housing.
ABOUT ESX 4CL Control Unit (1705-00)
The ESX 4CL has a processor with three cores (Infineon AurixTM). With four CAN bus interfaces and two managed Ethernet switches, with three 100Mbit/s Ethernet, one 1Gbit/s Ethernet and two BroadR-Reach® ports, the ESX 4CL has excellent possibilities for networking with other system components. The inbuilt Ethernet switches enable the exchange of large amounts of data without affecting the control unit’s processor performance. 60 freely configurable analogue and digital multifunction inputs ensure efficient reading and processing of a wide variety of signal types (including SENT functionality).
The user can choose between programmable and fixed supply voltages between 5 and 12 V for connected sensors. A total of 53 outputs, low-side and high-side, provide up to 4A per channel, depending on the configuration. Connected components and actuators can be powered with a high degree of flexibility, and also supervised. A second shutdown path safely and reliably disconnects the outputs of the ESX.4cl when necessary. For safety-oriented applications, this emergency shutdown path is mandatory.
As with all ESX controllers, a system LED and a programmable LED indicate the status of the controller.
