ESX controllers

The ESX family of programmable controllers from STW GmbH is designed for mobile applications such as machinery, construction equipment, man and material lifts, etc.

Robust cast-aluminium housings with an IP65 rating (optionally IP67) offer a high degree of safety in terms of EMC and the extremes of outdoor environments. The ESX family also offers controllers that meet the requirements of safety norms such as AK 4 (DIN V VDE 0801, DIN V 19250), Category 3 (EN 954-1) and SIL 2 (IEC 61508).

The ESX-micro is suitable for specialty machines because of its compact design. Like all ESX controllers, the inputs and outputs on the ESX-micro are freely programmable. The user is able to realise 'H-Bridge' functionality to control motor functions. Via RS232 and CANbus interfaces, bridge and gateway functionality can also be realised. With corresponding firmware, the ESX-micro control technology can be used as an analog or digital slave module for CANopen or Level 2 communications.
