Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATION VIA HYDRAULIC FLUID
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/140070
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for communicating between control systems via hydraulic fluid. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes operating a first pressure regulating device associated with a first control system to regulate a fluid pressure of hydraulic fluid being supplied through a hydraulic line, the first pressure regulating device being in fluid communication with a hydraulically actuated component via the hydraulic line. The method includes controlling the operation of the first pressure regulating device to generate a fluid-pressure based signal within the hydraulic line, the signal providing an indication of an operational status of at least one of the first control system or the hydraulically actuated component. The method includes detecting pressure changes within the hydraulic line associated with the signal to allow a second control system to monitor the operational status of the first control system and/or the hydraulically actuated component.
