Intelligent traffic light control<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]The ECO-AMPEL control unit can be used to control and monitor traffic light systems. The control unit provides all essential information via potential-free contacts, enabling the traffic lights to be controlled and monitored using standard IO modules.
A second 160V power supply input is used for night-time dimming. This allows day-night switching to be implemented without additional electrical components.
The ECO-AMPEL control unit is based on a microcontroller and is equipped with modular and powerful system software.
The ECO-AMPEL control unit meets the requirements of RVS 09.02.22, PlaPB 800.563 (ASFINAG BuS) and PlaPB 800.552 (ASFINAG TIFL). It can be used to implement applications in accordance with \u00d6NORM EN 12675 and OVE EN 50556.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9559″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1747656781521{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-right: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;margin-left: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1747286679582{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]
