Rugged STW controllers are the foundation of many modern mobile and off-highway machine-control systems. C9 Controls helps OEMs, equipment owners, and specialty machine builders select, program and integrate STW controllers matched to the machine, I/O requirements, CAN network and control application.
Whether you need controller hardware, application software, support for a machine retrofit, or complete control-system development, C9 can provide the level of engineering support your project requires.
STW Controller Integration & Application Development
C9 Controls supports STW controller projects from hardware selection through embedded software development, CAN / SAE J1939 integration, commissioning and machine support. We work with new equipment programs, retrofit and modernization projects, specialty machines and one-off applications.
