Firmware for novel hydraulic valves

Firmware for an HCS12X embedded system with algorithms for separate meter-in and meter-out edges, fault memory and OEM connectivity.

  • HCS12X
  • Cosmic Compiler
  • SimulationX
  • FlexPro
  • SlickEdit

Challenge

An HCS12X embedded system was to be equipped with firmware for controlling novel hydraulic valves with separate meter-in and meter-out control edges.

Approach

  • Open- and closed-loop control functions plus algorithms for the separated control edges
  • Extensive empirical test bench work to develop and verify the algorithms
  • Multi-level fault memory and modular connection to the client’s various OEM systems

Outcome

Firmware that makes the potential of the new valve design usable and integrates flexibly into customer systems.
