Abstract
A modular electronic damping control system is described and includes a damping component located at a vehicle suspension location. The modular electronic damping control system also includes a control system configured to control the damping component, and determine the type of damping component present. Also, the control system is configured to automatically tune a vehicle's suspension based on the type of damping component present, and automatically monitor the damping component and determine when a change has been made to the damping component so that the control system can then automatically re-tune the vehicle's suspension based on the change to the damping component.
Claims22
A modular electronic damping control system comprising:
- at least one damping component located at a vehicle suspension location;
- and
- a control system configured to control said at least one damping component located at said vehicle suspension location, said control system configured to determine a type of at least one damping component, said control system configured to automatically tune a vehicle suspension for a vehicle based on a determined type of said at least one damping component, and wherein said control system is further configured to automatically monitor said at least one damping component and determine when a change has been made to said at least one damping component, and said control system configured to automatically re-tune said vehicle suspension based on said change to said at least one damping component.
A modular electronic damping control system comprising:
- at least one damping component located at a vehicle suspension location, said at least one damping component comprising:
- an interface;
- and
- a control system coupled to said interface of said at least one damping component, said control system comprising:
- a damping controller hydraulically coupled to said interface, said damping controller disposed to control a flow of damping fluid with respect to said at least one damping component.
A control system for coupling with an interface of at least one damping component, said control system comprising:
- a damping controller, said damping controller structured to couple with said interface of said at least one damping component, said damping controller further configured to control a flow of damping fluid with respect to said at least one damping component;
- and
- a power source coupled to said damping controller.
