Ingineria sistemelor de control

The electronics on a typical Perkins engine are required to manage a sophisticated Common Rail fuel system, control the air supply to the engine, monitor the status of the engine, and talk to the machine it powers. Whereas the diesel in your car has one rating and one application, our engines can have a multitude of ratings, and have to interface with anything from wind generators and snowplough through to excavators and bulldozers. Some of our engines change their rated power and torque curves depending on which gear has been selected, and are in constant communication with the gearbox. At the other end of the spectrum, our engines can simply be installed directly into an existing machine.

The role of the Control Systems team is to design, develop and validate control strategies for our engines. We work closely with our suppliers who turn our requirements into electronic hardware and software. To speed the development of our 100 ratings, we have created tools and processes to automate the calibration process, allowing us to respond quickly to customers’ needs. Perkins’ Control Systems team will be taking these technologies and strategies and refining them further to meet the exacting requirements of Tier 4.
