Compact power supply reduces the amount of 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 CAN Controller 88P 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

Compact Electrics for telehandlers

When the Bobcat telehandlers were completely revised in recent years, the electrical system of the vehicles was also taken into consideration. Würth Elektronik ICS is one of the development partners that supported that improvements. The result is a set of compact fuse and relay boxes that minimize the amount of wiring required.
