iVISOR mentor QVGA and iFLEX C3 – this strong combination enjoys success in China
With their innovative and intelligent solutions for control systems Hirschmann Automation and Control has created a great deal of excitement in international markets. The latest chapter in this success story concerns the joint venture in China. As announced by Xuzhou Hirschmann Electronics Co., Ltd., a well-known manufacturer of construction machinery is to equip its 70-ton cranes with this ground-breaking combination of the load moment indication system iVISOR mentor QVGA and the control concept iFLEX C3.
Amongst the most modern construction machinery offered by the renowned manufacturer Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Plant is the 70-ton telescopic crane which in future is to be equipped with technology from Hirschmann Automation and Control. The combination of the load moment indication system iVISOR mentor QVGA and the tried and tested control system iFLEX C3 offers a multitude of advantages for the end-user. Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Plant expects the decision in favour of this networked solution to bring a marked improvement in the market opportunities for its products.
Powerful technology for expanding markets
China and indeed the whole Asian region are even now still in the middle of a frenetic explosion of development. The construction machinery sector, in particular, is on course for further expansion. This in turn offers great market opportunities for manufacturers. But in order to make best use of these opportunities, you need a solid base in technology. Only if you offer the best solutions can you hope to realise this growth potential, as the demand for control and monitoring systems, load data capture and load moment indication for cranes and construction machinery is rising.
Optimal solutions and concrete advantages for the customer
Reliability, flexibility, and simplicity of operation – these are the outstanding features of the control solutions from Hirschmann Automation and Control. The iVISOR mentor QVGA consists of an electronic control unit and a graphic operator console. Programmable control functions and two CANopen interfaces enable networked intercommunication between the most varied control components. Together with the iFLEX C3 system, this enables the operator to monitor and control not just the load moment indication, but also other functions such as boom, steering axle, slewing gear and luffing control, as well as monitoring the outrigger, work area and engine of a telescopic crane.
The display of the iVISOR mentor QVGA system, which is programmable with CoDeSys from 3S Software, enables the clear representation of all data relevant to the application. Moreover, the interface supports multilingual graphics. It is this function which allows it to show its strength in the international market place, and meets the requirements of Chinese manufacturers in an optimal way. The following image shows how the communication between the individual components takes place.
iVISOR mentor QVGA – a system with excellent chances in the market place
With the operational combination of mentor and iFLEX, Hirschmann Automation and Control has opened up a new dimension in the area of mobile control systems, which has proved itself with considerable success in practice. The user-friendly and intuitive operation of the equipment contributes greatly to efficiency and safety in daily operations. Equipping a 70-ton telescopic crane from Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Plant is a decisive step in consolidating the company’s presence in the Chinese market.
