3.1 SCS200 intelligent power distribution
More intelligent and complex systems as well as the electrification of loads currently
play a decisive role in the development of on-board electrical systems.
The SCS200 is the right answer to these requirements. It is an intelligent power
distribution system, allowing decentralised control and monitoring of loads via the
CAN bus. The design features a pcb-based power distribution in a compact IP66/
IP67 enclosure.
SCS200 modules are plug-and-play solutions that allow you to reduce wiring time
and save space. Comprehensive diagnostic capabilities (integral load protection, load
current and voltage measurement, output status) and the integrated CAN connection of
the SCS200 allow predictive maintenance and the implementation of load management.
The SCS200 was especially designed for the use in agricultural machinery, construction
machinery, specialty vehicles, buses and trucks. Major applications are the decentralised
power distribution of higher loads downstream the ECU.
Besides power distribution, the SCS200 provides more transparency on the load side
by feeding back the current and voltage values. The integral electronic load protection
provides additional safety. The analog inputs of the SCS200 are ideally suited to CAN
connection of sensors installed in the proximity of the device.
The SCS200 is SAEJ1939-compatible. The module allows uncomplicated and quick
system extensions or complete vehicle or machinery modernisation.
Fig. 1 shows how the SCS200 can be integrated in the on-board electrical system.
