Abstract

In recent years, the development of hydraulic variable displacement axial piston machines has been focused in two main directions: improvement of their construction and improvement of their displacement control methods. The goal of both directions is to increase the efficiency of the machines. Increasing their efficiency is key to improving the efficiency of the entire hydraulic system, whether they are used as pumps or hydraulic motors. This motivates the present work, which essentially contains a developed embedded control system designed for a known type of open circuit axial piston pump. The developed solution is implemented on a laboratory test rig. A detailed description of the hydraulic system in the context of pump displacement control is presented, as well as the developed system architecture for its control. The control system is based on a linear-quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller. The controller is synthesized on the basis of a model obtained by means of identification based on experimental data. The designed controller is validated through experimental studies, enabling the analysis of its performance.
