Propel Application Software

Best Point Control (BPC)

Danfoss Best Point Control (BPC) BPC is an innovative propel application software that can dramatically increase the efficiency of a machine.

By detecting the power required for the operating conditions and automatically adjusting the engine speed to meet optimum efficiency points, BPC adds instant value to virtually any application.

As a PLUS+1® compliant software block, BPC offers plug-and-perform integration into existing work flows.

Regardless of the application, BPC helps to reduce development time and almost instantly increases machine control.

Target applications:

•Telehandler, wheel-loader, dumper, sweeper, forklift trucks, forestry machines etc.

•Mobile machines demanding better fuel efficiency and require a high level of controllability.

Features

Basic functions

•One drive mode for all operating points and use cases

•Machine and engine overspeed protection

•Hydrostatic ratio control: intelligent adjustment of hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor depending on the load

•Drive pedal scaling: operator can adjust the pedal resolution to achieve better machine controllability and performance

•Minimum engine speed adjustment: to ensure high machine performance and to provide the oil flow, required for other sub-systems like work functions

•Calibration routines to simplify machine start-up

•No Engine PPU: accepts J1939 standard message, no need for additional PPU.

•Vehicle speed limitation

Flexibility

•Transmission control: flexible integration of multiple different final drive solutions (e.g. 2MT)

•Modular software design: fit to a variety of application types

•Work hydraulic pressure sensor: works in conjunction with other sub-systems like Work Function Control

•Functional safety: designed according to safety standards for shorter time to market

Performance and Fuel Economy

•Best Point Control: depending on the machine’s load situation, the diesel engine and the hydrostatic drivetrain are controlled at their best efficiency points

•Vehicle speed control: driver is controlling the machine movement and software controls the diesel engine and hydrostatic ratio

•Power management functions: electronic pressure limiter and antistall for more machine performance

•Temperature compensation for predictable performance
