ESX.3cs

Compact Controller Module

Ethernet Communication

Using an optional on-board Ethernet breakout connection, this allows for simple diagnostics and communication with the controller and other peripheral devices.

A mobile machine controller for virtually any application

Overview

The ESX.3cs is a compact, modern-designed control unit from STW. It offers a high range of input/output options, and also supports a multitude of programming environments such as C, logi.CAD, CODESYS, and MATLAB. It is designed specifically for operation in hard mobile machines environments with scalability in mind.

Communication

For communication purposes, the ESX.3cs offers two CAN connections, an optional Ethernet, an RS232 port, and a LIN interface.

Connections

CAN x 2
I/O

16 Inputs (SENT support)
14 Outputs

On-board Ethernet (optional)

Processing

32 bit TriCore @ 300 MHz
