Euroflag 45 is equipped with an electronic control system that connects all the hydraulic actuators and control systems necessary for the safety and movement of the machine using the latest available technology.

The control system is based on a series of electronic control units with communication in CAN BUS technology that take care of the logical management of the machine.

The management system receives from the control systems located in the various points of the machine the signals necessary to establish the geometric and load configuration of the machine in order to control and sequence the movements with the necessary degree of safety.

The main control systems consist of:

– Geometric spot control
– Nacelle load control
– Load control on stabilisers
– Stability control
– Nacelle balancing
– Automatic stabilisation
– Truck Cab Collision Avoidance System
– Anti-collision system stabilisers
– Anti-collision system nacelle with ultrasonic sensors

– Movement control panel in turret 2x 2-axis joystick, buttons, signalling LEDs
– General control display in turret 7″
– Movement control panel in nacelle 2x 2-axis joystick, buttons, signalling leds
– Control display in nacelle 7″

The control panels in the turret and in the nacelle are identical and replicate all the controls.

The three displays on the ground in the turret and in the nacelle are identical and provide all the information necessary for the safe operation and control of the machine.

Through the controls you can control :

– speed and sequence of movements (proportional)
– speed and sequence of stabilizers (manual)
– automatic stabilization
– automatic opening (open system)
– automatic closing (home system)
– load in nacelle
– working area
– working area
– instantaneous machine position (height, reach and angular position)

Signaling Reports:

– machine footprint (outriggers)
– Machine in transport position (lights in cab)
– PTO engaged (warning lights in cab)
– Alarms and warnings on turret frame and nacelle displays

The machine is equipped with a control bypass system for emergency operation, the standard equipment includes a hand pump for emergency functions.

Various additional motorized emergency devices are available (see other options section)

The machine is equipped with an audio intercommunication system between the control station in the turret and the control station in the nacelle
