1 Introduction to the DX System
The DX-system is a modular powerchair control system. This modularity makes it
possible to design a powerchair that can meet the requirements of any user -
requirements that can range from simple drive-only control to full environmental
control. Just add additional modules when requirements grow.
The heart of the DX System
The most basic DX control system consists of two parts:
A DX Power Module, connects to the battery and to the motors
A DX Master Remote
The Master Remote is the brain of the DX System. Every DX System must have one,
and only one. There are several different Master Remotes available to choose from:
with joystick, without joystick, chin remote, attendant remote, etc.
DX System extensions
In addition to the Power Module and the Master Remote, many other remotes and
modules are available to extend the DX System, like:
• Secondary Remotes, for example: attendant remotes, sip ‘n puff, finger steering
• Switch input modules
• Lighting and Seating control modules
• Environmental control modules
The DX System can be extended to a maximum of 16 modules.
DX System connections
All modules are connected to each other by a DX BUS cable.
Most DX Modules have two DX BUS connector sockets. That way
you can connect another DX part easily.
DX BUS is an interface (the way the modules "talk" to each other) based on the CAN
interface, which is widely used in the automotive industry. CAN is well known for its
reliability and its fault detection. DX BUS inherits this reliability, and even improves on it.
One system fits all
Start out with a simple system and add the modules you need at the time they
become available, or when the application requirements grow. See the Dynamic
Controls product catalogue for the latest additions to the product range.
