MC microcontroller ...

The MC microcontroller is the main component of the electronic system used for the programmable control of electrically adjustable hydraulic axial piston pumps and motors from the Brueninghaus Hydromatik range. Due to the flexibility of this system it is possible to control diverse and complex open and closed loop control sequences as well as complete hydrostatic drive systems. Analogue input voltages are fed to the MC microcontroller via pressure or temperature sensors, positional transducers or by other signal generators such as potentiometers. These input signals, which are in the range of 0-5 V, are digitised and converted into calculation values within a range of 0 - 255 bits. Speeds can be measured just as easily by counting pulses in the controller component of the MC.

These convert the timer inputs likewise into values within a range of 0 - 255 bits. In the MC program switched signals are given a bit value of either 0 or 1 before processing. A complete application-oriented MC program, written by Brueninghaus Hydromatik, is composed of a number of computational steps. On completion of all programmed instructions for one computational run, the MC goes back to the beginning, the latest input values being used for the next calculations. Cycle times are between 15 - 40 ms per run.

The outputs from the MC microcontroller are in the form of analogue currents, which may be used for the direct control of proportional pumps, motors and valves. They are pulse width modulated with closed loop current control, in order to ensure high accuracy with minimum hysteresis. In addition it is possible to exchange data with other microcomputer systems via serial interfaces.

Due to the MC microcontroller new methods for the open loop and closed loop control of hydrostatic drives may be designed for the whole mobile field. Depending on requirements the microcontroller may be fitted out and programmed in such a way, as to be suitable for new and complex system applications. Or it may be used to collect a number of simple functions in order to achieve a powerful and economic solution.
