Electric modules become “intelligent”
News – January 2023
MTA’s offer for Off-the-shelf products which can be
customised according to the specific application they are intended for, has
grown.
The MEC 97 and the Maxi-MEC, designed
for the engine compartment, and the C-MEC 138, for installation in the
cabin, are plug & play Modular Electric Centers with a press-fit PCB
specifically designed for agriculture and construction applications.
They have a rational design,
compact dimensions and allow to integrate all the functions in one piece, thus
eliminating the need of using different modules and associated wirings. The
vehicle is therefore lightened from costly and heavy modules and cables, the
wiring layout is simplified and the assembly time reduced.
The MECs have different customisation levels and, for
example, for different fuses/relays configuration, a simple replacement of a
mask is enough.

- CAN Module
Today, faced with the request of
many customers who need to use a CAN Bus line, MTA is developing a CAN Module
Plug-in, which can drive the MEC’s relays by CAN Bus, to make these products
even more performing.
This way the Modular Electric
Centers will become “Smart Modular Electric Centers”.
The CAN Module Plug-in, will
connect the Modular Electric Centers with the CAN Bus line to generate
the actuations needed.
The CAN Bus Module can be
programmed through MTA Studio, like MTA customizable dashboards, displays and
ECUs. This represents a great advantage for those already using some MTA
products, allowing to obtain the best synergies.
Off-the-shelf Power Distribution Units
Designated for heavy duty power distribution and main electric services protection, MTA PDUs are developed based on a modular design concept for the utmost versatility.
