The paper presents the possibility of using the CAN bus in control systems for modern engineering machinery. It showcases machines, vehicles, technology demonstrators, and research test benches that utilize hydrostatic drive systems controlled based on the CAN standard. Understanding the limitations and capabilities of the new system, as well as developing procedures for status monitoring and control, will allow for the implementation of state-of-the-art drive systems in modern machines and vehicles.The specific nature of tasks performed by modern unmanned ground vehicles, and the possibility of using them in general rescue operations, places very high demands on both their drive systems and their control systems.
The primary requirement for such solutions is to ensure high mobility and control precision during reconnaissance and rescue missions, as well as sufficiently high forces and torques for the actuators of work equipment.
The progressive development of hydraulic components, their reliability, and controllability means that hydrostatic drive systems are increasingly used in the drive solutions of modern unmanned ground platforms, providing both excellent vehicle traction parameters and sufficiently high forces for their work equipment. An undoubted advantage of such solutions is the relatively long operating time of these platforms, limited only by (…)
