Automotive Control Solutions

Automotive control has gone to work off road through Sauer-Danfoss’ expertise and extensive product portfolio. With our propel system solutions, your machines can now offer advanced automatic transmission functionality. When the operator depresses the accelerator, both the engine rpm and hydrostatic pump and motor displacement are controlled automatically. Along with the convenience of automotive control, you also keep the versatility of non-automotive and creep automotive modes.

H1 AC solution large group
 

Designed around the H1 family of pumps and motors and the PLUS+1™ family of microcontrollers and related products, Sauer-Danfoss offers the only control solution combining pre-engineered propel drive functionality, consistent and reliable performance with “smart” embedded electronics, and TÜV certified SIL-2 level safety.

Whether using H1 pumps and PLUS+1™ microcontrollers—or H1 pumps with embedded electronics—time to market goes down. Pre-engineered and pre-programmed propel system functions are easily user configurable. Embedded electronics enable fast configuration of settings for a very broad variety of applications from asphalt pavers to wheel loaders. You’ll find it’s easier to meet Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, electronics safety standards (IEC 61508), and to certify machines.

While you’re reducing system development time and safety costs, you’re enhancing machine performance that’s tailored to your specific application. Your customers enjoy ease of operation and a number of automatic engine and transmission protection features, from antistall to overspeed. Finally, there’s greater operational reliability and reduced service/diagnostic costs due to the convenience of the PLUS+1™ Service Tool--with hookup through a laptop.

Sauer-Danfoss is ready to provide the systems application expertise and technical support for you to successfully take automotive control off road for your machines.
