The Platform Control System consists of two units: the Platform Control Unit with operator controls located in the platform, and the Electronic (or Ground) Control Unit with pushbuttons and an LED display located at the base and power source. These units are interconnected via a CAN-bus system, that also enables the Electronic Unit to integrate signals and control a variety of digital and analog machine interfaces such as joysticks, sensors, limit switches, LEDs, motor controllers, pushbuttons, e-stop, and alarms. |
