Using Near Field Communication (NFC), the NFC valve controller is configurable while unpowered.
As a highly flexible controller, the valve controller with NFC accepts one command signal input and drives a solenoid up to 3A. Many control profile parameters are user configurable. A PCB form factor and DIN rail form factor are available. Operation is from -40 to 85 °C. Designed to interface with 12V or 24V battery power, it is suitable for machine and industrial applications.
Using Near Field Communication (NFC), the valve controller is remotely configurable while unpowered via a smartphone application available from Google Play. Bringing the two devices within 2 cm (1 inch) of each other, the NFC technology uses magnetic induction between two loop antennas to communicate within the globally available radio frequency ISM band of 13.56 MHz. Communications have password protection built-in to the NFC technology which is often used in secure retail point-of-sale transactions.
Axiomatic is also developing gateways to CAN bus networks using Ethernet, Bluetooth, and WiFi.
Applications:
- Off-highway vehicles
- On-highway vehicles
- Agricultural equipment
Axiomatic is exhibiting at BAUMA 2016. Come and see us in booth A3/549.

Axiomatic Technologies Corporation releases a rugged Stepper Motor Driver
Axiomatic Technologies Corporation is releasing a stepper motor controller suited for the harsh environments found in off-highway and on-road vehicle applications. The Stepper Motor Driver can be integrated into a motor drive system for precise control of fuel injection.
AXIOMATIC P/N: AX100700
A flexible design allows Axiomatic to customize the control algorithms to suit specific applications. For standard users, the unit is easily configurable using the Axiomatic Electronic Assistant service tool.
For rugged machine applications, it features the Deutsch IPD EEC-345XB enclosure and 24-pin connector. It operates with 12 or 24VDC power with surge, over and under voltage protection for battery powered devices.
The Stepper Motor Drive is designed to give the user full access to the 2A drive control chip A3979 via J1939 command messages. It allows for simple and accurate control of the levels, waveforms, timing, and phase-shifts of the current for a two phase stepper motor. Motor direction is user selectable.
The drive allows the user to set the default values for the stepper motor using the Electronic Assistant. It also allows the user to set the default targets and ranges for the run-time variables such as the step rate the motor is to run at, or the number of steps the motor is to take before holding. A unique feature of the drive is that not only are the run-time variables accessible through EA, but they can also be independently controlled by J1939 messages received while the unit is operational. This means that while the EA tool is used for initial setup and configuration, all the drive values can be changed as needed without it.
The drive also has two inputs that could be used as the command source for a run-time parameter, rather than a CAN message. Alternatively, the inputs could be used for feedback in a PID control, or as simple digital controls, for example to E-Stop the device. Lastly, they could independently be sent to the J1939 network as input data for another device on the CAN bus.
There is also 1 +5V reference and 1 Frequency or PWM input for inductive and active sensors.
Lastly, the drive has a single digital output, capable of sinking up to 5A, to drive a relay, brake or other load in a system. By default, the output is controlled by a CAN message received from the J1939 network, but it too could be controlled by one of the inputs instead. The output can be setup for a simple on/off response, or to blink indicating a fault has been detected by the drive.
Axiomatic designs and manufactures rugged electronic controls for the off-highway, power generation, bus, truck, as well as oil and gas equipment industries.

Axiomatic Technologies Corporation and the G.W. Lisk Company have collaborated to release a new controller with high temperature capability
High Temperature CAN Controlled Valve Driver with Position Feedback (SAE J1939)
Axiomatic Technologies Corporation and the G.W. Lisk Company have collaborated to release a new controller with high temperature capability for under hood installation in the transportation industry.
AXIOMATIC P/N: GWL171100
G.W. LISK P/N: VY2-2837
The CAN Controlled Valve Driver with Position Feedback, or the Positional Valve Driver (PVD) is a rugged high performance, closed loop valve driver intended for use directly under the hood in a wide range of mobile applications. It is, out of box, capable of driving a hydraulic positional actuator accurately to achieve any hydraulic positioning goals.
The PVD has one configurable universal input (0-1V, 0-2.5V, 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA, PWM, Frequency or Digital), and one proportional current output (0-4A) for driving a control valve or a hydraulic actuator. The PVD supports CAN J1939 protocols and is fully CAN controlled. In other words, all control commands are to be taken from a connected J1939 network. Where required, the controller can also send operational status and/or positional information back to the network.
PID and control algorithm functionality was added to the module using the Simulink® software environment by The Mathworks, Company.
For rugged machine applications, it features an aluminum enclosure, gasket and a 12-pin TE Deutsch DTM15-12PA connector. It carries an IP67 rating.
The unit is configurable using the Axiomatic Electronic Assistant service tool.
As an option, a Simulink® block library is available. Simulink® is a model-based design tool from Mathworks® and allows the machine developer to model the control in their system during the design phase.
G. W. Lisk has been providing solenoid valves, LVDT’s and flame arrestors to the transportation, commercial, aerospace and other industries since 1952. Axiomatic is a mobile electronic control design engineering company and we are pleased to work with G. W. Lisk to develop this new electronic controller suited for the transportation industry.
