Operating safety and unequalled performances
Machine operating safety is now one of the issues that any manufacturer must integrate from the machine design stage. Electronic control integration allows you to increase the added value of your machines with regard to productivity, energy efficiency and comfort. Poclain Hydraulics is introducing a new range of CT 200 and CT 300 SmartDrive calculators capable of meeting these requirements in all regards. They offer functional security and operational safety capacities in line with the most demanding standards. Their large calculation capacity and the large number of inputs and outputs allow you to efficiently operate your machines' hydrostatic transmission.
Complies with the machines' safety requirements
Any Off-Road machine placed on the European Community market must meet the 2006/42/EC directive and the associated standards such as ISO 13849-1. The new SD CT calculators provide a high safety level for your control systems. Compatible with the Level d performance level (PL-d according to ISO 13849-1), they guarantee compliance with the standards in force.
Designed for Off-Road & On-Road applications
Their E-certified electromagnetic compatibility and their security architecture capable of the PLd level allow them to be used for Off-Road and On-Road applications.
Performances & Added values
Robustness
SD CT calculators are designed to be used in extreme conditions. Operational over a temperature range of -40°C - +85°C, they also function in the case of immersion under a metre of water (IP67). Their electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), certified 'E', makes them compatible with the most demanding uses.
Calculation power
SD CT calculators are made efficient by incorporating an electronic architecture built around a 32-bit microprocessor and a 8-bit auxiliary microprocessor. They have a calculation capacity compatible with your machines' safety, comfort and energy efficiency requirements. These technical characteristics provide access to sophisticated software functions that guarantee efficient and accurate control of your applications.
Communication
The SD CT calculators have large communication capacities. The 3 integrated CAN buses allow you to share information (heat engine, hydraulic components, etc.), and configure and diagnose your machine. Equipped with 42 high-power inputs and 23 high-power outputs, they provide accurate control of the hydrostatic transmission.
A high added-value offer.
The SD CT offer is accompanied by a panel of software components providing you with all of the features required by your machines. You can control all of the pumps available on the market. They also allow you to manage transmission errors and their diagnosis. But it is within a Poclain Hydraulics transmission that they offer their maximum potential: Pump management, engine control, automotive driving mode, power limitation, fuel consumption optimisation, etc. You thus achieve the full added value of Poclain Hydraulics's system offer.
