With ProSimulation, the servo drive systems of machines and systems can be set up, tested and optimized virtually. The automation specialist Baumüller has now extended the functional scope of ProSimulation: In addition to the controller and mechanics models, models are now also available for hydraulic systems, with which the dynamic operating behavior of the servo hydraulics can be simulated.
By mapping pump properties such as the volumetric and hydraulic-mechanical efficiency, and taking into consideration system properties such as variable oil volume, pipe losses and leakage behavior, complete servo hydraulic applications can be designed in the simulation and commissioned virtually. These events can be transferred to the real application later, as a result of which, the time and cost of developing and commissioning servo hydraulic machines and systems reduces significantly.
