Compact power supply allows reduced cabling

Compact power supply allows reduced cabling

Two Development Approaches - Two Success Stories

Long-term Partnership Between Würth Elektronik ICS and Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone

The agricultural machinery manufacturer Krone wanted to redesign the driver's cabs of two self-propelled vehicles. To this end, Würth Elektronik ICS developed a concept for a compact power supply unit with electronic control functions that replaced two central electrical units and reduced the high amount of cabling required.

Basic idea of the concept:
  • One central electrical system with the same circuit board basis for both vehicle series
  • Individual assembly of the printed circuit boards with components
  •  Electronic CAN control for individual requirements

 

The following solutions from Würth Elektronik ICS were used:
  • Central electrics equipped with ICCS 88P CAN controller for fuse monitoring and relay control as well as for the connection of binary and analog sensors via CAN bus
  • Customized REDline Power Box Medium for power supply and fuse protection of additional consumers in the tractors
