General description :
The LEVEL001-8DO-CAN is an intelligent platform controller. Typically a platform is equipped with four hydraulic cylinders (each corner one cilinder). All cylinders can move upwards or downwards. Dependant on the hydraulics the module can be configured with the right information. On request the module will automatically bring the platform in a controlled way to its desired position.
The LEVEL001-8DO-CAN is a two part solution. One part is doing the tilt sensing and functions as a userinterface. The other part contains the driver electronics and can be mounted (if necessary) close to the hydraulics. The two parts communicate with each other by means of a CAN interface (Controller Area Network). This serial interface garantees a reliable and fast communication link between the two parts.

Applications :

• Camper levelling

Windows software :
