Axiomatic recently announced the release of its Bucket Position System (BPS), its new generation of machine control interfaces that’s designed for continuous assessment of bucket, blade or attachment position as part of a complete 2D or 3D OEM machine control system for off-highway equipment.
The BPS machine control interface through CANopen calculates and monitors the angular position of multiple inclinometers on an excavator and communicates the data over Ethernet or CAN bus to the operator display in a machine cab.
The BPS provides fast data exchange between the BPS interface module and a machine control display through the Ethernet. It has two CAN ports, one RS-232 serial COM port for receiving data from a simulation of angle sensors or for configuration and firmware updates and one Ethernet port for firmware updates and to communication position and machine specific geometry data to an electronic source.
The device is ideal for excavators, backhoes, pile drivers and bulldozers, the company said.
