System control units (SBG)

Display and control hub for central vehicle functions

Uniform user interface in the vehicle

The great number of devices integrated into the vehicles and the system functions to be monitored require a manufacturer-independent interface that displays and controls all of the necessary information on the vehicle system and additional sensor stations. As uniform user interfaces, ATM system control units enable you to operate, access or configure vehicle- or device-specific functions. The system control unit reduces the number of manufacturer-specific monitoring panels that need to be integrated.

Display of vehicle information

Tailored to the vehicle, the system control unit displays information on the status of the vehicle, sensors, navigation, power management and other integrated equipment. This allows you to centrally manage and control other applications in the vehicle from the control station.

Performance overview:

  • Reduces the number of devices to be integrated
  • Manufacturer-independent interface for control functions
  • Sunlight-readable
  • Suitable for plug-and-play operating systems
  • Compact design for confined installation situations
  • Scalable basic system

The plus points

Compact panel PC for essential vehicle functions

On-board voltage network

ATM ensures smooth operation on the vehicle’s electrical system through the application of MIL-STD-1275 and ISO 16750-2. This guarantees that the system control unit harmonises with the power supply system and does not negatively influence the system or take damage itself.

Thermal stability

The system control unit boasts high thermal stability and does not require active cooling thanks to its fan-free design.

Supervision

The internal monitoring electronics supervise and control the system control unit accordingly, such as by automatically shutting down if environmental conditions could damage the system.

Qualification

The devices keep out water and dust, withstand salt fog, hold up to fluctuating pressures and the extended temperature range, and reliably process data under heavy shocks and vibrations.

EMC

An aluminium housing ensures EMC compatibility. ATM applies various civil norms and standards as well as MIL-SPECS for this purpose.

Maintenance

A CMOS battery which can be replaced from the outside simplifies maintenance. This means that the device does not have to be sent in and is available more quickly for the next deployment.

Display

Various technological developments and design measures ensure that the information on the display can be read and the display operated under any light conditions.

Modularity

The system control unit can be adapted to meet the customer’s requests and requirements in every respect, from the interfaces and memory to customer-specific functionalities.

Functions

ATM system control units are a form of panel PC with a reduced range of functions specifically developed as a central operating and display unit for vehicle systems. Adapted to the vehicle and the spatial conditions, the system control unit is generally a small and compact device.
