Automotive Electronic Control

Sep 24, 2007 4 Replies

Hi, I'm looking for a control unit (plc, control card, control module) for construction equipment (excavator). It should contain digital and analog inputs and digital outputs. Any body have experience or know brand (like as axiomatic) about this subject? Thanks all



If the rest of the group can excuse the advert, is this any use?

It's not FPGA based, so may be off-topic :-)

Cool. I was trying to work out how to tell the OP that the FPGA part would be absolutely the least of his worries; anyone who goes into the automotive (or industrial, or medical) electronics business thinking that the logic is the hard part will be in for some very nasty surprises :-)

Is there a comp.arch.automotive newsgroup where you can see posts like this?

Looks like you're in the USA, but if you were in Western Europe then these folk might be able to help:
