Products Description
IDS PROXIMA Touchscreen System

IDS PROXIMA Touchscreen System
The Proxima Touchscreen System is the newest addition to the IDS Secondary Control family. This product will give users a control system that requires no appreciable pressure to activate. The icons on the screen can be as large as needed, and placed in any pattern. In association with the GPM (general purpose module) controller, up to 254 functions can be controlled from one Touchscreen, at up to 10 Amps per circuit. The GPM will also control logic-level signals, and can be equipped with resistors to trigger analog control systems, such as those in networked vehicle systems. The Proxima system is not limited to controlling automotive systems, though. It is possible for it to control actuators, solenoids, pumps, and the like. Along with IDS's upcoming Input Processing board, the system will be able to display bar graphs, simulated meter-needle displays, and scope-type displays like that on our Secondary Control system of speeds, fluid levels, direction/headings, etc.
I.D.S. HLSS-1000 Mechanical Hydraulic Steering System, with HLSS-X Crossover Steering and Backup Steering System (BUSS)

IDS Multiaxis steering system components
Safe, Simple and Rugged. OEM Steering Wheel may remain in all vehicles, except in the full size Ford vans, if placement of the HLSS steering wheel permits. HLSS-X allows the user to change to OEM steering using a control lever. Backup Steering System allows the user to steer if the engine shuts off, and is AUTOMATIC. Customized orthotic adaptations and adjustable force and feedback are available to suit each application. Reduced-effort or Zero-effort force used to steer.

I.D.S. PGB-1000/2000 and Backup Brake System

Power Gas and Brake servo System

Linear Motor Positioner controller used in the PGB is a pulse width modulation device (PWM). Safe operation down to 8 Volts for emergencys. Backup Brake System is a completely independent braking system parallel to the PGB. PWM provides a smooth, fast and accurate response from the Hand Control to the linear actuator. Components: Main Servo Actuator Backup Servo Actuator IDS Motor Controller Throttle Safety Release Joystick Control (PGB 1000) or Dual Joystick Controls (PGB 2000) Mounting Bracket and Hardware
I.D.S. General Purpose Module (GPM)

GPM
20MHz RISC-processor programmable control module used to operate the secondary controls in the vehicle. Activated by the IDS PROXIMA Touchscreen System or the IDS KP-8 Switchbox. Alternate inputs include the Crescent Industries' Voice Scan© Module. Many features are controlled with an alternate action switch, minimizing the number of switches required. Special Features Include: Extended delays to prevent double-keystrokes Transposed key locations Extra or locked-out functions
I.D.S. EGS-100 Electronic Gear Selector
Directly attaches to the OEM shifter hardware. Utilizes the OEM transmission control display on the vehicle's dash. Activated by the GPM through buttons on KP8 control pad.
Specifically designed for the professional evaluator. Includes the latest assistive technology available. Full orthotics array. Dual driving stations. Floor elevators. Dexterity power gas and brake, and more.

I.D.S. Electronic Park Brake

Linear actuator system with enough torque to stop your vehicle when parking in steep area or in an emergency situation. Activated by the GPM through buttons on KP8 control pad, or switch can be located in any area that is most accessible to the user's range of motion.
IDS Power Booster
One of our latest products, the IDS Poser Booster takes whatever voltage you have available, down to less than 8 volts, and boosts it up to 13.6 volts. What this means is that if and when your battery is low, whether from a failure in the charging system or from just leaving the lights on, your devices supplied from the Battery Power Booster will operate.
IDS Backup Battery Monitor and Charging System
This product monitors your backup battery, beginning when you start the engine. If your battery is low, the system connects your backup battery to the vehicle's charging system until it is charged, or until you turn off the vehicle. It will disconnect your backup battery if the charging voltage is too high, and will continue to periodically connect your battery to keep it topped off.
