APPLICATIONS

The CM0711 is a ruggedized CAN controller.

It is primarily used for powertrain control (e.g. powershift transmission), to realize a single function of the vehicle (e.g. auxiliary hydraulic control), or as an additional controller for the system when the existing main controller cannot provide enough I/O for the system.

or as an add-on controller for systems where an existing host controller cannot provide enough I/O for the system.

The CM0711 focuses primarily on high-end output control and closed-loop current control, but can also measure analog and digital input signals.

Multiple modules in a system can be recognized through the addressable IDtag input built into the harness.

The CM0711 comes with a Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows customers to develop their own software.

Features

Input/Output Flexibility

The CM0711 can control proportional valves using either current mode (current closed loop) or PWM www.ge-drive.com mode (voltage open loop) signals.

The module has 7 high voltage side outputs with error detection and 4 low voltage side outputs.

The analog inputs accept a 0-5V signal from an input device or sensor.

The digital inputs can also be configured to measure 2 frequencies or 1 directional frequency (quadrature) input.

The high-side outputs can also be used as digital inputs for switches.

Weatherproof

The rugged aluminum housing is equipped with 2 environmentally sealed 18-pin Deutsch DT14-18 type connectors.

The controller is designed for outdoor environments.

Diagnostic Functions

An internal watchdog checks for software errors and will interrupt the output if an error is found.

Outputs have diagnostic functions such as open load, current feedback.

The reference output voltage used to power the sensors can be diagnosed.

In addition, the supply voltage can be monitored as well as certain internal signals.

The module has an internal temperature sensor for protection of the module and system equipment.

There is a diagnostic LED on the top of the module.
