5 Design, system overview and function 5 Design, system overview and function In this section, you will be familiarised with the design of the Dynapac General remote control and the basic way in which it functions. 5.1 Design A separate regulator (remote control) and at least one relevant sensor is required for each control circuit or side of the vehicle.
5 Design, system overview and function 5.2 System overview and function The Dynapac remote control offers all of the buttons required to control the system and optical displays from which the current status of the system can be read off at any time.

5 Design, system overview and function ® The Sonic-Ski plus SKIS-1500 is a distance measurement sensor and operates with five ultrasonic sensors. A sixth sensor is used for temperature compensation. On sensing the ground, a mean value is formed from the values measured by the five ultrasonic sensors of the Sonic- ...
Page 30
5 Design, system overview and function The Big Sonic-Ski ® again takes up the principle of mean ® value formation familiar from the Sonic-Ski plus. To achieve this, three sensors (e.g. 3x Sonic-Ski ® plus) are typically distributed over the length of the vehicle - or even beyond it with the assistance of a corresponding mechanical system.
Page 31
5 Design, system overview and function The dual sonic sensor DUAS-1000 is a distance measurement sensor and operates using ultrasonic technology. The temperature of the value measured by the Dual-Sonic Sensor is compensated by means of a reference measurement versus a bracket with a defined distance parallel to the actual distance measurement.
Page 32
5 Design, system overview and function Irrespective of which sensor is operated, the basic principle of regulation is always the same: The basic principle of regulation is continuous: measurement - comparison - adjustment A control circuit serves to set a specified physical variable (control variable) to a desired value (nominal value) and to maintain it at this value, regardless of any malfunctions which may occur.
