STm.6
Intelligent and powerful
Optimising the flow of traffic to the best possible extent is an important aspect of modern traffic control systems in towns and cities. The new STm.6 control unit from Stührenberg is perfect for meeting the high demands of complex traffic situations. The modules of the new STm.6 series provide precise and reliable control of intersections, even in demanding conditions.
The perfect system for the smooth flow of traffic
The operating and control modes of the STm.6 series guarantee that traffic signal systems are switched in accordance with the traffic. They are suitable for all intersections. All standard interfaces and control logics have been integrated. The clever hardware and software concept is particularly easy to program and handle, thanks to modern operating terminals with touch screens and tablets. This guarantees maximum performance, reliability and functional safety.

Signal output module
Signal outputs can be freely combined to signal groups. This is done automatically via a tool or manually. Each signal output is individually fused and protected. Dispensing with conventional current and voltage transformers distinctly improves the measurement accuracy and reliability in all operating conditions. The measuring circuits are arranged in safety return conductor technology.
Mechanical design
The control system is mounted in a 19 inch swivel frame. To optimise the wiring, the lamp switching modules are integrated on the rear wall of the control cabinet together with the outgoing terminals. The modules are interconnected via a safety-relevant bus system.
Software support
Tools for the following tasks are available for the control unit:
- Configuration tool for the traffic controller
- Simulator for testing the control unit configuration
- Tool for displaying operating logs and public transport messages
- Tool for displaying count values
- Visualization of signal plan data, also in the site plan
