Electrical equipment in road construction machinery includes the starter, alternator, battery breaker, engine warning lights, and, in addition, all other parts feature displays and electric and digital controls. We are proud to announce that Aremburg has been able to supply a wide range of electrical appliances used in road construction machinery from the best brands.
What we know today as the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is, in fact, a powerful computer that receives information from the sensors and controllers of various machines and, after analysing and checking the received signals, sends the necessary commands to the operators of each department. The power of the ECU can be appreciated by examining the volume and variety of information it receives from different sensors, the decisions it makes based on this information, and the commands it issues. In summary, the ECU is the mastermind of the machines, controlling all the microprocessors and electronic controllers. This means the ECU manages the monitoring, regulation, and control functions within the machines.
To start the engine, power is required to draw air and fuel into the cylinder and create compression. This circulation is produced by the engine starter.
The starter has gears on its shaft, connected by spiral grooves on both the shaft and inside the gear. The gear on the starter shaft engages directly with the large gear attached to the engine flywheel.
A sensor is an electrical device used to measure physical parameters such as pressure and temperature. The output of an electrical sensor is an analogue or digital signal that is sent to the hardware (ECU) for processing. The types of sensors used in industrial machines include:
- Engine speed sensor
- Water temperature sensor
- Gas sensor
- Limiter
- Fuel sensor
- Sensor under the fan
- Sensor on the main pump
