B&R mapp Hydraulics software components provide convenient access to advanced closed-loop hydraulic functions.

New software components for easy hydraulics control

B&R is introducing new software components for controlling hydraulics applica-tions. These components provide easier access to advanced closed-loop control functions and assist developers in the design, simulation, virtual commissioning and diagnosis of hydraulic systems. B&R mapp Hydraulics provides numerous new functions, particularly for variable-speed pump drives.

Automatic control loop tuning

Automatic calculation of maximum values
Another mapp Hydraulics component automatically calculates the maximum ac-celeration and deceleration values for a hydraulic drive. The drive moves auton-omously within the operational limits defined by the user to identify the maxi-mum values for a given hydraulic axis. This significantly shortens commissioning times for hydraulic axes.
