Regardless of whether the racing car is powered by a combustion engine or an electric motor, slicks are always used to transfer power to the track. The grip of the various tread compounds for use on dry or wet roads has an optimum (operating point) at certain temperatures. To ensure that the desired traction is achieved from the very first revolutions, preheated tires are fitted at the start and during pit stops. The reliable and quickly switching S7 panels with integrated S7 PLCs from INSEVIS regulate compliance with the prescribed heating curves with onboard inputs and outputs and are therefore part of the extensive equipment for modern motorsport. The customer's requirements were implemented quickly and easily, and since then the INSEVIS devices have been running like clockwork. Exactly as they should be; as a cog in the gear of a successful solution.
