The Challenge
Demanding requirements for productivity and costs within mobile
applications lead to increased complexity of on-board power supply and
network architectures. Existing system designs reach their limits:
- Missing bandwidth of existing communication systems (amount of data,
cycle times, video broadcasting)
- Software solutions replacing hardware (hardware
cost-down)
- Confusing, heterogeneous network architectures (costly
gateway solutions)
- Exaggerated life-time costs (engineering, system test,
availability, diagnosis, maintenance, machine care
- Integrated safety
Presentation and discussion of new approaches
Electrification
- Close the drive control loop via EtherCAT
- Updating 100 electrical drives each 100 μs
- Axis coupling in software to replace the mechanical line shaft
Energy Efficiency
- Improved control performance, engine
management
- Hybrid drive systems
- Emission reduction (CO2 reduction)
Connectivity
- Remote diagnostics and maintenance
- Remote access to
production/yield data
- Vehicle-2-Vehicle communication for interaction of
vehicles (driving in parallel, virtual drawbar)
- Wireless
Condition
monitoring, measurement
- Vibration analysis, FFT
- Preventive maintenance
- Substitution of specialized hardware with software modules
Video
