Electronic Control Devices Purchasing Information

When designing a system, it is important to know what devices are available for a certain application. Bosch Rexroth offers products such as the Hand Control Device, Single Foot Pedals and Dual Foot Pedals:

 

Hand Control Device 4THE5

The hand control device, the 4THE5, offers progressive and sensitive actuation, along with ergonomic hand controls. The 4THE5 architecture increases its reliability to match the requirements for integration in safety-related parts of control systems up to PLd capable. The 4THE5 Joystick is made to be connected to a machine controller (ECU) which will be used as a power control and system logic. (Bosch Rexroth)

 

Single Foot Pedal 2THE5R

The single foot pedal, the 2THE5R, offers a vast range of configuration along with contactless hall effect sensors. The 2THE5R differs by integrated electronic functions and the nature of the output signals. The 2THE5R PWM requires an external regulated power supply for generating PWM signals. The 2THE5R CAN integrates a power supply regulation and can be then directly supplied from the vehicle battery. They periodically generate frames on the CAN bus which enable dialog with other systems. (Bosch Rexroth)

 

Dual Foot Pedal 4THE5NR

The dual foot pedal with dampening, the 4THE5NR, similarly offers a vast range of configuration along with contactless hall effect sensors. It also includes easy access into its dampening system for any maintenance purposes. The 4THE5NR CAN integrate a power supply regulation and can be then directly supplied from the vehicle battery. They periodically generate frames on the CAN bus which enable dialog with other systems. For PWM and CAN, the 4THE5NR architecture increases its reliability to match the requirements for integration in safety-related parts of control systems up to PLc or d. (Bosch Rexroth)
