A method is for producing, for a hydraulic machine having an actuator, a setpoint-value trajectory satisfying predefined limitations in order to influence an output variable of the hydraulic machine. A trajectory of unlimited setpoint values is fed to a trajectory planning function, which produces the setpoint-value trajectory from the trajectory of unlimited setpoint values. In the trajectory planning function, the trajectory of unlimited setpoint values is differentiated at least twice in order to obtain a trajectory of unlimited setpoint values that is differentiated n times. In the trajectory planning function, at least one limitation is applied to the differentiated trajectory of unlimited setpoint values in order to obtain a differentiated trajectory of limited setpoint values. The differentiated trajectory of limited setpoint values is fed to a filter integrator chain in order to obtain the setpoint-value trajectory.

Real-time-capable trajectory planning for pivoting-plate-type axial piston pumps with systematic consideration of system limitations

A method teaches a control function, preferably a characteristic curve, of a hydrostatic motor of a traction drive of a work machine when in drive mode. The traction drive is provided with the hydrostatic motor and a hydrostatic pump, which is hydraulically connected to the hydrostatic motor. The method includes setting a pivot angle of the hydrostatic motor while taking into account a desired velocity of the work machine when in the drive mode, and checking whether predefined conditions are met. If the predefined conditions are met and a current velocity differs from the desired velocity, the method includes correcting the control function of the hydrostatic motor by taking into account a difference between the desired velocity and the current velocity. At least one value of the corrected control function of the hydrostatic motor is taught during the correcting.

The first actuating pressure is dependent on a first current at a first electromagnet of the first pressure reducing valve. An electronic control device is configured to store a model of the first current in a manner which is dependent on a requested speed.

The invention relates to a method for generating a control variable trajectory for an actuator so as to influence an input variable of a system, wherein a set point is supplied to the output variable of the system of a trajectory planning procedure, which from the set point generates a trajectory of constrained input values for a filter integrator chain and a trajectory of flat desired states, wherein the trajectory of constrained input values and the trajectory of flat desired states are supplied to a flatness-based feedforward control procedure that generates therefrom the control variable trajectory for the actuator, wherein in the trajectory planning procedure so as to generate the trajectory of constrained input values at least one constraint is applied in dependence upon the trajectory of flat desired states.

Real-time capable control strategy for hydraulic systems while systematically taking into consideration control (rate) and state variable constraints

In a drive unit which has an axial piston pump and an electronic control unit, the axial piston pump is pivoted with a method in which pressure-reducing valves which act in opposition to one another are suddenly energized. Since in this respect no orifices are provided in the adjustment device, a so-called initiation jump of the excited current gives rise to a sudden reduction in the assigned actuating pressure or the actuating pressure difference formed therefrom. Then, a zero crossover jump of the excited current or of the excited currents is carried out in order to overcome the centering spring and therefore ensure a continuous zero crossover of the axial piston pump. Furthermore, a hydrostatic traction drive includes such a drive unit.

The engine controller is configured to actuate the Diesel engine via a first control signal. The vehicle controller is configured to (i) control the consumers via at least one second control signal, (ii) transfer a power demand, via the interface, to the engine controller, and (iii) receive feedback, via the interface, with reference to an available power from the Diesel engine. The interface is configured such that the power demand includes a value for a mechanical power and at least one speed interval value. When the engine is delivering a power according to the value of the power demand and/or with reference to the feedback, the engine controller is further configured to control a speed of the engine in a speed interval with reference to the at least one speed interval value.

A hydrostatic propulsion drive for a vehicle is disclosed including an electronic control unit and a hydrostatic transmission having a hydraulic pump with an adjustable swept volume and a hydraulic motor with an adjustable swept volume, the hydraulic pump being arranged in a closed hydraulic circuit. The swept volumes of the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor are changeable in accordance with a correction factor which is stored in a characteristic diagram and is dependent on the rotational speed and the drive torque of the hydraulic motor, the operating pressure at the hydraulic motor being increased if the correction factor is used. Due to the increased operating pressure, flow-induced pressure drops are reduced by way of volumetric flows, and leakage flows via gaps between moving parts of the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor are kept large enough to avoid excessive friction and loss of efficiency.
