TTC 100 controller for mobile applications
TTControl - TTTech Off-Highway, specialist suppliers of electronic control systems to manufacturers of off-highway vehicles, have introduced the TTC 100 programmable electronic control unit for sensor/actuator management in vehicle control systems.
TTC 100 is a cost-effective device that can be used as a stand-alone solution or as part of a networked system, particularly in advanced safety-relevant applications. The device fulfills all technical requirements for advanced automotive electronics in the off-highway domain, where harsh environments and extreme operating temperatures are commonplace.
All TTC 100 inputs and outputs are freely programmable. Moreover, they are protected against electrical surges and short circuits. CAN, RS-232 and LIN/TTP/A/ISO-K is available for serial communication. Proportional hydraulic components are particularly important in the off-highway environment; these can be controlled by PWM outputs with internal power measuring, or outputs for hydraulic valves with integrated power stages.
TTC 100 was designed to comply with the IEC 61508 international standard. Both the stand-alone and the network version fulfill the requirements of SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level 2), allowing TTC 100 to be used for control of vehicle functions that require high levels of safety and reliability.
A broad range of tools is available to program TTC 100. At the basic level it can be programmed in C. In addition, a TTP-Matlink library and an I/O library are available to allow programming in MATLAB/Simulink.
CoDeSys, which is one of the most common IEC 61131-3 programming systems that runs under Microsoft Windows, can also be used for programming. Several editors are supported, including the Instruction List Editor, the Sequential Function Chart Editor and the Function Block Diagram Editor. CoDeSys, which produces native machine code for the main processor of TTC 100, combines the power of familiar programming languages, such as C and Pascal, with the easy handling and operational functions of PLC programming systems.
