Analysing and optimising a secondary-controlled transmission drive

The suitability of a secondary-controlled hydraulic motor in four-quadrant operation was studied for the transmission drive of a transport system.

The secondary control offers a high acceleration capacity and the option of storing energy released during deceleration in the hydraulic system and re-using it for subsequent acceleration processes.

The project included detailed simulation studies to analyse the dynamic system behaviour and the selection of system components and closed-loop control strategies perfectly configured to match the system requirements.
