WIKA Mobile Control is pleased to introduce the new CTL-S700 series of safety controllers.  These controllers offer many interfaces and I/Os for safety-relevant machine control tasks and can be used in safety-critical applications according to:  IEC/EN 61508 Parts 1-7:2015 SIL 2  EN ISO 13849:2015 PL d EN 62061:2005 + AC:2010 + A1:2013 + A2:2015 SILCL 2    Available in four different configurations, the CTL-S700 series offers up to 64 inputs and 56 outputs providing versatility for a variety of applications.  These cost effective controllers feature CODESYS 3.5 SIL 2 programming and a data logger that collects all relevant operating data.  Multiple CANopen safety and Ethernet interfaces are also available.    Controllers from the CTL-S700 series are equipped with an 300 MHz Aurix TC299TX processor, up to 64 MB flash, 2.7 MB SRAM and 32 kB FRAM. With an IP66/67 protection rating, a robust cast aluminum housing and high shock and vibration resistance, these controllers are designed for use in harsh environments making them a perfect fit for mobile cranes, telehandlers, MEWPs, forestry equipment and other mobile machine applications.  ??   Contact: WIKA Mobile Control LP Sarah Nell Phone: (717) 217-2255 Email: sarah.nell@wika.com   

WIKA Mobile Control is pleased to introduce the qSCALE I2 TH rated capacity indicator (RCI).  The qSCALE I2 TH RCI system was designed specifically for  telehandlers and is suitable for both OEM and aftermarket telehandler applications.   The qSCALE I2 TH features a user-friendly 4.3” color graphic display that provides the operator with actual and allowable load, boom length, boom angle, load radius & height.  The system also includes a cable reel for measuring the length and angle of the boom and pressure sensors that measure the hydraulic pressure in the cylinders.     Depending on specific requirements, three other optional system components are available.  If a longitudinal load moment indicator or limiter is required, the rear axle sensor can be added to measure the strain on the rear axle.  The gSENS WGX sensor can be added to indicate the tilt of the chassis.  The system can be upgraded to a rated capacity limiter (RCL) by adding the cSCALE DIO module to lockout the machine in the event of an overload.   One of the benefits of the RCI system is that it reduces operator error.  While operating within the allowable range (determined by the load chart), the top bargraph on the display will be green.  As the operator starts to reach the allowable limits, the bargraph will change from green to yellow. Once the limit is reached, an alarm will sound and the bargraph will turn red.  If the cSCALE DIO module is installed, it will cut off the operators ability to telescope out and boom down if the limit has been reached.   The system also enables the machine owner to maximize the machines lifting capacity.  This ensures that the machine isn't overworked and the operator isn’t lifting loads that they shouldn't be.   The integrated data logger tracks machine usage and helps to determine whether a machine has been misused.  Using a USB stick, the data logger information can be extracted from the console to an Excel spreadsheet.  The data logger provides a report that indicates machine productivity and any overload instances.   Calibration can be done through the console without the need for additional software tools.  To validate the calibration, several measurements have to be taken with known loads.     With the addition of the rear axle sensor, the system reduces the risk of accidents from tipping and increases the operators stability awareness of the machine.  When the operator is lifting a load and extending the boom, this extends the radius.  As the boom is further extended, the right bargraph on the display will change from green to yellow as it gets closer to reaching the stability limit.    Visit www.wika-mc.com/telehandler to learn more about the qSCALE I2 TH RCI system.   Contact WIKA Mobile Control, LP  Sarah Nell Phone: (717) 217-2255 Fax: (717) 263-7845 E-mail: sarah.nell@wika.com
