Crane Control
Enduro controls Liebherr Container Cranes
Thousands of tons of goods are moved around in container harbors everyday. In such an environment, machinery electronics must resist harsh environmental conditions, such as dust and moisture, vibrations and shocks, and varying temperatures. SMA's Enduro Mobile PLC is the optimal choice for a control system for a rough environment. The Enduro proves its reliability day after day as the control computer in Liebherr container cranes.

Beware of Dog
Intelligent Watchdog in Hardware and Software
A CPU watchdog is a hardware component for monitoring software. It can considerably improve reliability and availability of a system, two good reasons to design one in any critical application, including automated machinery, engine control, recording measurement readings, and the like. However, the actual effectiveness of a watchdog strongly depends on how it is integrated in the hardware and software concept. With this in mind, SMA has developed intelligent and practical watchdog solutions, with a special focus on the requirements of modern real-time operating systems.
