# CPC12 ***ControlPlex®*** System
## Transparency through web server and fieldbus connection
The requirements of machine and plant construction regarding machine uptime and a consistently high production quality are increasing. Stable processes are based on a reliable and transparent DC24V protection and power distribution system.
E-T-A’s CPC12 bus controller has a separate DC24V power supply and allows independent supply of the circuit protectors. It records all status information and measuring values. These data are visualised with the internal web server. Via the field bus interface, the data are also made available to the superordinate control systems.
E-T-A’s **REX12D system in combination with the CPC12 bus controller** was designed specifically for the requirements of the machine construction and process control industry. The REX12D modular power distribution system combined with the CPC12  bus controller meets all requirements.
* **Maximises plant and machine  uptime** through clear failure detection, high transparency and remote diagnosis
* **Saves space** through a slim design of the circuit protectors and the potential modules
* **Increases flexibility of system planning** through many different modules meeting the demands of DC24V power distribution
## The system
  ## EM12-T supply module
  Up to 40 A can be fed into the supply module. Power is further distributed without further accessories via the REX connection technology with connector arm to the connected circuit protectors.
  This innovative technology reduces wiring time and eliminates time-consuming disassembly of busbars in the event of replacement or system extension.
  ## CPC12 bus controller
  The CPC12 bus controller collects status information as well as measuring values of the connected circuit protectors. These data are transmitted to the superordinate control systems via the field bus interfaces for PROFINET (CPC12PN), EtherNet/IP (CPC12EN), Modbus TCP (CPC12MB) and EtherCAT (CPC12EC). Thus, the CPC12 creates transparency and remote access to all essential information and functions of the DC24V power distribution.

  ## REX12D circuit protectors
  The double channel REX12D electronic circuit protector protects the system in the event of overcurrent and short circuit. It reliably disconnects the faulty circuit and prevents voltage dips in the DC24V power distribution.
  It allows protection of loads with a standard-compliant cable protection to EN60204-1 as well as the use of an adjustable protector version with current ratings from 1 - 10 A.
  ## PM12-T potential module
  The potential module serves for multiplying the protected load outputs of the circuit protectors. Groups can be set up. This allows direct correlation of the loads with the circuit protectors and supports a clear lay-out of the power distribution system.

# SCS® Smart Control Systems: Intelligent Power Distribution System for On and Off Road Vehicles
Digitization and a forward-thinking system architectures play a huge role when designing of on-board electrical systems. Modern vehicles and machines have numerous sensors and communication interfaces. CAN bus technology and the SAE J1939 network protocol based on the CAN 2.0B specification are standard for networking components in all kinds of commercial vehicles.
**SCS® Smart Control Systems** are intelligent solutions for power distribution and digitization in vehicles with CAN communication. The SCS portfolio combines standard hardware with flexible and configurable software to easily modernize vehicles and system integration. Comprehensive diagnostic functions allow early failure detection and reduce or avoid damage, breakdown and downtimes. Flexible and compact CAN control units can quickly and easily expand existing CAN networks.
## Typical Applications:
* Agriculture & Forestry Equipment
* Construction Equipment
* Special Vehicles
* Trucks
* Buses

# ***PowerPlex®*** Digital Switching System
A unique, customizable digital switching system.
When playing this video data will be sent to YouTube. 
With a single touch, the users can switch off lights and switch on the air condition. Or they control everything at the same time which is part of a pre-defined scenario. Users can view all boat information on screens such as water tank levels or battery condition. Or they rely on PowerPlex for informing them immediately as soon as any action needs to be taken.
 PowerPlex allows control and monitoring of the on-board electrical system via smartphones, tablets, touch displays or key pads. Thanks to the various operating options, controlling the entire on-board equipment is child’s play.
 Various co-operations with major manufacturers of electronic equipment continuously enhance integration options. In addition to or alternatively to the PowerPlex operating options, features like multi-functional displays from Navico’s brands Simrad and B&G as well as Garmin or Furuno make handling on board even more convenient.
 This tops off the entire solution and continuously enhances the functionalities of PowerPlex.

  ## ***PowerPlex®*** – NMEA 2000 network
  NMEA 2000 is the marine standard for serial data networking of electronic devices. Compatible devices share data including commands and status information with other compatible devices such as sensors, pumps, lights, GPS or multifunctional displays.
   For E-T-A, it was just a logical step to completely connect PowerPlex and NMEA 2000. Our PowerPlex Gateway allows combination of the PowerPlex CAN bus with various other bus systems such as CAN (e. g. NMEA 2000, SAE J1939) or Modbus.
   Connectivity to NMEA 2000 via a gateway opens up a wealth of possibilities. Large-scale control and monitoring systems with clearly separated functionalities and tasks can be realised. The gateway translates and automatically filters incoming messages. Thus only relevant data are transmitted or received. This ensures a consistent flow of information for controlling and monitoring of the entire installation of the on-board electrical system.
  ## ***PowerPlex®*** – Integration of Third-party Systems
  Integration of third-party systems is indispensable for building a smart boat. Depending on the device, there are various integration options:
  + Integration of e.g. sensors, pumps, battery chargers etc. by means of ***PowerPlex®*** Modules
  + Integration of touch PCs with installed ***PowerPlex®*** TouchPC Software via a CAN/USB converter
  + Integration of devices of other bus systems such as NMEA 2000 by means of ***PowerPlex®*** Gateway
  + Integration of multifunctional displays of major manufacturers via the ***PowerPlex®*** Web Server
