Remotely Controlled Electro-Hydraulics ready for the IoT

Abstract

In this years, hydrostatic pumps and motors are evolving to respond to a request of better performances and deeper collaboration with other parts and with machine user. Integration between Hydraulic and Electronic is the solution, allowing the deployment of high-level control functions. As a first step in this direction, all necessary sensors, actuators, ECU and harness are integrated with the pump. A second step is to ease the mounting of this system, and for this reason all electrical connections are grouped in just one plug. Machine manufacturers, in this way, can simplify their mounting process and increase quality level of the complete machine. The one and only connector simplify also testing process. On top of that, a Bluetooth connection is available to communicate with the Electro-Hydraulic pump. Data can be read and sent and the system is compatible with IoT principles.
