Hybrid Drive for mobile working machines with a 750VDC  supply bus for auxiliary equipment and attachments.

powerMELA - Mobile power electronics and drive technology for vehicles and machines

As part of an ongoing cooperative project, Sensor-Technik Wiedemann GmbH is developing the components for the hybrid drive system powerMELA^®. The powerMELA^® system is used to realise hybrid diesel/electric drives in off-highway vehicles and mobile working machines. Additionally, the system offers an open power supply network for powering auxiliary machinery and external appliances. Surplus energy is saved to a battery and can be subsequently used for other demands. This outstanding innovation is particularly relevant in the face of increasing energy costs and ecological requirements.

New ESX^®-IOXp electonic control unit

As the second member of the low-cost control product family, Sensor-Technik Wiedemann is proud to introduce the ESX^®-IOXp electronic control unit for mobile applications. Last year saw the introduction of the ESX^®-IOX I/O module with CAN bus and CANopen. The ESX^®-IOXp is a fully-fledged freely programmable control unit with 2 independent CAN interfaces and an additional RS232 interface. Programming takes place in the widely accepted CoDeSys development environment from 3S-Smart Software Solutions in accordance with the international programming standard IEC 61131-3. This makes possible an easy and efficient familiarization and exceedingly simple and fast realization of control functions. The ESX^®-IOXp control unit offers a large number of inputs and outputs inexpensively, and is protected against over-voltage and reversed polarity.
