Bucket Positioning System (BPS) Machine Control Interface

Axiomatic announces the release of the Bucket Positioning System (BPS) machine control interfaces for continuous assessment of bucket, blade or attachment position as part of a complete 2D or 3D OEM machine control system for off-highway equipment.

• Hardware platform for customer-specific embedded software, configuration interface and drivers
• Can operate with Axiomatic BPS Software and interface with Axiomatic inclinometers as part of a 2D or 3D machine control system featuring continuous assessment of bucket position for hydraulic shovels and excavators
• Interfaces with CANopen devices for angle sensing (inclinometers)
• Fast data exchange between the BPS interface module and a Machine Control Display via Ethernet
• Two CAN ports (CANopen or J1939)
• One RS-232 serial COM port for receiving data from a simulation of anglesensors or for configuration and firmware updates as well as for logging raw "real" sensor information
• One Ethernet port for firmware updates and to communicate position and machine specific geometry data to a PC or Display
• Operational from 9 to 36v DC (12v, 24v nominal)
• Integrated Deutsch two 12-pin connectors (IP69K) and fully sealed enclosure with a rugged IP67 rating
• Calculates and monitors the angular position of multiple inclinometers on an excavator and communicates the data over Ethernet or CAN bus to the operator display in the machine cab
• Cost-effective solution for integrating machine control systems on a variety of off-highway equipment
