4500 Electronic control

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Series 4500 electronic control systems by Flexball Italiana combine mechatronic solutions with digital communication technologies to create modular, flexible, and reliable systems. These systems are easy to install and consist of control stations, actuators, data transmission cables, and connection cables between actuators and motors or gearboxes.
System Components: The system uses a 4-pin cable for digital CANBus communication. For motors with mechanical interfaces, push-pull cables are used, while electronic interfaces use simple electrical wires. The systems can interface with various motor and gearbox types.
Motor Compatibility: The systems support different voltage and current types, including Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Scania, MAN, MTU, and Caterpillar, among others.
Key Features: The system supports up to 7 control stations, fast start-up mode, synchro functions, trolling control, trim/flap functions, and safety features like starting inhibition if the gear isn't in neutral. It also interfaces with frequency converters in hybrid propulsion systems.
Main Features: The system is EMC and CE certified, supports a maximum distance of over 60 meters between deck and engine room, and allows for easy installation with plug-and-play operation. Operating parameters can be set via keypad or PC.
Technical Features: The system operates on a supply voltage of 9.0 to 32 Vdc, with a maximum input current of 5 A. It functions within a temperature range of –10 to +85 °C and can generate mechanical forces up to 450 N.
System Configurations: Configurations are based on motor and gearbox types, number of engines, levers, and options. The document lists various system types, such as mechanical throttle with mechanical gearbox (MM), electronic voltage throttle with mechanical gearbox (VM), and CANBus throttle with electronic gearbox (CE), among others.
Data Transmission Cables: The document provides codes for CANBus data transmission cables of various lengths, ranging from 3 meters to 30 meters, including extension cables and a CANBus "T" splitter.
Contact Information: Flexball Italiana S.r.l. is located in Orbassano, Italy, with contact details provided for further inquiries.

4500 Electronic control-1

Electronic control Electronic control systems Series 4500 combine mechatronic solutions and digital communication technologies which permit to build modular systems, flexible, reliable and easy to install Just a few devices create a complete electronic control system. The electronic system fundamentally consists of 4 elements which vary in amount and type, depending on installation requirements: control stations actuators data transmission cables to connect together actuators and control stations cables between actuator and motor and between actuator and gearbox. The link between the various devices is via a simple 4-pin cable that carries all the information thru digital CANBus communication. In case of motors with mechanical interface, push-pull cables transfer the motion from the actuators to the throttle on the motor and on the gearbox. In the case of motors and gearboxes with electronic interface, a simple electrical wire performs their connection to the actuator. On all Flexball electronic control systems can be mounted lever Series 4500. The systems are configured to interface to different types of motors and gearboxes and their possible combinations.

system configurations The system types listed below always refer to the diagram on the previous page and are based on the following conditions: The distance between the various devices and specifically the distance between levers, lever and actuator or between actuators is = 7.5 m; in case you need longer cables (especially between the deck and the engine room) they must be defined when ordering. All electrical wirings to connect the actuator to the motor and the actuator to the gearbox, are as standard 3 meters. If longer cables were required, it must be communicated when ordering. There are...
