Eaton electronic control units and software – introducing a smarter way to design, engineer and build intelligent machines.
Eaton’s Pro-FX Technology Platform features easy-to-use software and a robust library of pre-programmed development tools. This functionality streamlines application development and simplifies hardware setup, enabling customers to build safer, smarter machinery in a quick and efficient way. Pro-FX does not tie you to a single supplier like rival proprietary suppliers, instead it uses an open source platform. Further, it uses industry-standard languages and protocols, allowing for greater flexibility. Consequently, this facilitates the integration of components and sub-systems more easily.
Eaton offer a number of electronic units compatible with their Pro-FTX software, the full range includes:
VFX Programmable Displays: Eaton VFX programmable displays enable sophisticated connectivity and control while simplifying the design process and operator experience. These displays have smart software tools and a growing library of pre-programmed visual elements. This helps to shortcut the delays between development and time-to-market. Additionally, VFX displays are engineered to perform and built to last, even in the most demanding environments and applications.
HFX Programmable Controllers: These controllers are applicable to a range of applications including harvesters, dump trucks, cranes or other mobile on- or off-highway equipment. The versatility can add power and versatility to any potential application. The controllers come in four models (HFX12m | HFX20m | HFX32m | HFX48m), all of these cover powerful 32-bit processors, configurable CAN channels and an industry-leading software configurable I/O system. Overall, Eaton HFX programmable controllers provide an ideal solution for tough challenges and environments.
Keypad Electronic Switch Modules – E31: The keypad electronic multiplex switch module (eSM E31) can operate in severe environment applications with exceptional operator feedback. Eaton have developed an increased degree of sealing – now IP68 – to enable this dependability. These modules are tactile to use, with audible switching and up to four LED visual indicators.
Wireless Machine Control: Eaton wireless machine controls deliver dependable and precise operation, allowing customers to remotely and safely control their equipment. The technology uses OMNEX industrially-hardened Trusted Wireless™ FHSS radio technology and impact resistant packaging to achieve this. The range includes mobile machine control: expansion modules, receivers and transmitters.
