neroHUB
UNIVERSAL VEHICULAR CONTROLLER
Unlock the benefits of Automation and the key role it plays in a fully connected mine, with the neroHUB universal interface, paired with Nerospec SK’s wide mine-machine product range.
The neroHUB provides a universal interface for Trackless Mining Machines (TMM) and Collision Warning Systems (CWS). It increases productivity and improves mine safety with the intelligent use of CRAWL and STOP processes as well as providing uniform and secure records to promote operational efficiency.

FEATURES FACILITATED BY THE NEROHUB

neroHUB vs PLC
FUNCTIONAL SAFETY, DATA LOGGING & INTERNET SENSOR
CAPABILITY COMPARISON

BATTERY BACKED UP / GPS SYNC
REAL TIME CLOCK
neroHUB
PLC
High accuracy low drift on-board calendar + clock with built in battery backup to ensure time-stamping of logged data is always accurate.

FAIL TO SAFE DIGITAL OUTPUTSSOLID STATE + RELAY CONTACTS
neroHUB
PLC
Ensures that digitally controlled power loads have the fail to safe reliability of relay logic, whilst maintaining the flexibility and long term durability of solid state switching

GALVANIC / OPTICAL ISOLATION ISOLATED MACHINE SENSE & PDS INTERFACE
neroHUB
PLC
Guarantees that machine side electrical loads and transients can not influence PVD side. Protects system from Machine induced voltage and current transients.

AUTOMOTIVE COLD CRANK RESILIENCE OPERATION DOWN TO 5V SUPPLY
neroHUB
PLC
Ensures that system is immune to cold crank brownout and resetting during peak current loading, such as starting engine.

INDUCTIVE LOAD CAPABILITY
(SNUBBERS + TVs + di/dt + PWM ALL CHANNELS)
neroHUB
PLC
Ensures that system is able to drive highly inductive loads, such as solenoid coils without damage over sustained periods.
