Bucher Automation's System Solution
The Bucher Automation system solution for slurry tankers is freely configurable, regardless of whether the application rate is controlled through PTO and travel speed or through the pump. And just as freely you decide, for example, whether you want to have one or more work lights in the basic version or no
Our approach: We divide the slurry tanker into its sub-functions, develop optimal automation solutions for each of them and put everything together again into a combination of subsystems.
Result: Vehicle manufacturers can configure and activate their individual combinations.
Scalable System Architecture
We respond to these requirements with modular solutions and systems that can be easily scaled. For example, in the case of a slurry tanker, one first considers its partial functions. For these we have developed independent solutions. Now, each complete system for a particular slurry tanker consists of a combination of subsystems. Vehicle manufacturers can thus select all hydraulic and electrical subfunctions themselves in a configuration file and thus put together an individual solution for their vehicle or implement. In addition to activating the functional options, the system parameters also include all changeable settings, such as the flow rates of the valves or specific weights of the media to be spread. The manufacturer can change the preset values on the PC or directly on the device. In this way, hydraulic systems, controllers and HMIs are very easily scalable in their range of functions: from basic to fully equipped configuration. This allows manufacturers to opt for visualization solutions, controllers, input and output modules, central electrics and plug-and-play cabling solutions. Bucher Automation's modular system offers manufacturers the additional advantage of reducing the time from development to market launch of new devices.
Basic Configuration
Upgrade Options
HMIs
Scalable like the entire solution: The HMIs are specialized for a wide range of requirements and applications. These devices especially distinguish themselves by their diversity of individualization options, as well as by the large number of interfaces.
Controller
I/O-Modules
Cables
Keys
Telemetry
The software functions can be configured via different licenses.
Functions and associated licensing costs are scalable for any machine configuration. More functions can be added at any time.
