Intelligent Monitoring Panels for Vehicle Applications

Process Care Systems offers a range of intelligent monitoring panels for vehicle applications. The dashboard panels differ from the conventional gauges in many ways. These systems do not have any mechanical moving parts. Also the number of wires and end fitments required are very minimal. All the inputs from various electromethcanical switches and sensors are routed to a main control unit, which is fitted away from the dashboard. The control unit consists of a microcontroller and it reads all the inputs and sends information to the dashboard panel. The dashboard panel is also provided with a microcontroller. It consists of LCD based gauges to display various parameters and also pilot/warning indicators. The advantage of the system is that the information from the control unit to the dashboard unit is transmitted on 4 wires. Also any number of dashboard panels can be connected to the bus and the cable will be only 4-wire type. Also the controller is provided with a serial port output and a GPRS communication can be established. This will be useful in highway and off road (mining) applications.
