Abstract
A drive control for controlling a gear system which is connected to a motor. The drive control comprises one or several sensors for detecting operationally specific parameters of the gear system, and a decentralized sensor evaluation unit. The sensor or each sensor is connected to the decentralized sensor evaluation unit for separate evaluation of information provided by the sensor or sensors.
Claims7
A drive regulator for control of a transmission which is connected to a motor comprises:
- a transmission connected to an electrically driven motor;
- sensor means for recording operation specific parameters for the transmission, wherein the sensor means comprises a plurality of sensors including tilting moment sensors, leakage sensors, torque sensors, temperature sensors, rotation speed sensors, vibration sensors, oscillation sensors and oil-level sensors;
- and
- a decentralized sensor evaluation unit connected to the sensor means for receiving and evaluating the parameters from the sensor means, wherein the sensor evaluation unit is connected to a motor means of power electronics, and wherein the sensor evaluation unit (70) has a control unit (80) which includes means for the sensor evaluation unit (70) to act directly on the transmission (20) to obtain directly the specific parameters for the transmission.
