Smart Onboard Electronics for Easier Control Thomson’s Electrak Modular Control System (EMCS) is built into every HD actuator and serves as the foundation for the best onboard controls currently available on the market, including optional CANopen and SAE J1939 CAN bus. Industry-Leading Onboard Electronics EMCS is the culmination of decades of global design and application engineering in some of the toughest environments. Electronic Monitoring Package – Standard on all Electrak HD Actuators Safety comes first. Each HD electric linear actuator is equipped with the Electronic Monitoring...

Electronic Monitoring Package Standard Features Current Monitoring A critical safety feature that shuts down the actuator on overload and eliminates the need for the traditional mechanical clutch. Load Trip Point Calibration Each Electrak HD actuator is individually calibrated at assembly to ensure a repeatable overload trip point. Voltage and Temperature Monitoring Continuous monitoring protects the actuator by preventing motion if outside normal ranges. Internal End-of-Stroke Limit Switches Built in to each HD actuator, they ensure smooth, repeatable operation and protect both connected...

Bus Communication – The Future of Actuator Control Controlling an actuator over a network bus opens the door to breakthrough opportunities in machine design. More control, monitoring and feedback options can eliminate the need for separate controls. These options will also simplify design, diagnostic feedback and installation while reducing installed costs. The built-in CAN bus option makes it possible to communicate with Electrak® HD electric linear actuators over a simple two-wire network. CAN Bus in Practice Electrak HD uses CANopen and SAE J1939 CAN bus, well-known, mature bus standards...

Control Architecture With and Without CAN Bus System Without CAN Bus • A power (1) is distributed to each device • A main control (2) system communicates separately with an individual control (3) box connected to an actuator. Each instance may require individual design, configuration, wiring and installation. • Other equipment (4) that needs to be controlled or integrated with the actuators requires separate controls with more design and configuration required System With CAN Bus • A control system and actuators with CAN bus can communicate directly to each other. Adding additional,...

Add Even More Control and Power with the Synchronization Option Electrak HD’s control features undergo thorough testing at Thomson to ensure your machines are prepared for countless application challenges – both expected and unexpected. With the new synchronization option, machine designers are now able to easily conquer not only heavier loads but the sometimes unforeseen obstacle of actuating uneven loads as well. Not all applications present machine designers with ideal conditions in which to work. For example, a load requiring actuation may be much heavier on one end, which could lead to...

Synchronization Applications Door/Hatch Lifts Assembly Stations Utilizing synchronization for mobile lifting platforms on vehicles provides a robust, reliable solution without the complexity and maintenance requirements of a traditional hydraulic solution. Placing the Electrak HD with synchronization into your ergonomic applications ensures a stable, effective lift for off-center or awkward loads. Solar Panels Automated Guided Vehicles The Electrak HD is an industrial solution that can handle heavy loads − such as large solar panels − in rugged installations. These heavier loads, which...
