Axiomatic Technologies Corporation and the G.W. Lisk Company have collaborated to release a new controller with high temperature capability
High Temperature CAN Controlled Valve Driver with Position Feedback (SAE J1939)
Axiomatic Technologies Corporation and the G.W. Lisk Company have collaborated to release a new controller with high temperature capability for under hood installation in the transportation industry.
AXIOMATIC P/N: GWL171100
G.W. LISK P/N: VY2-2837
The CAN Controlled Valve Driver with Position Feedback, or the Positional Valve Driver (PVD) is a rugged high performance, closed loop valve driver intended for use directly under the hood in a wide range of mobile applications. It is, out of box, capable of driving a hydraulic positional actuator accurately to achieve any hydraulic positioning goals.
The PVD has one configurable universal input (0-1V, 0-2.5V, 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA, PWM, Frequency or Digital), and one proportional current output (0-4A) for driving a control valve or a hydraulic actuator. The PVD supports CAN J1939 protocols and is fully CAN controlled. In other words, all control commands are to be taken from a connected J1939 network. Where required, the controller can also send operational status and/or positional information back to the network.
PID and control algorithm functionality was added to the module using the Simulink® software environment by The Mathworks, Company.
For rugged machine applications, it features an aluminum enclosure, gasket and a 12-pin TE Deutsch DTM15-12PA connector. It carries an IP67 rating.
The unit is configurable using the Axiomatic Electronic Assistant service tool.
As an option, a Simulink® block library is available. Simulink® is a model-based design tool from Mathworks® and allows the machine developer to model the control in their system during the design phase.
G. W. Lisk has been providing solenoid valves, LVDT’s and flame arrestors to the transportation, commercial, aerospace and other industries since 1952. Axiomatic is a mobile electronic control design engineering company and we are pleased to work with G. W. Lisk to develop this new electronic controller suited for the transportation industry.

Axiomatic has designed a new series of controllers with high temperature capability
Axiomatic has designed a new series of controllers with high temperature capability for on engine or under hood installation and intended to be Simulink® compatible for OEM machine developers. Applications could include control of closed loop engine actuators or viscous fans.
The Fan Drive Controller Platform, p/n AX022600S, accepts 2 discrete inputs, 1 Hall Effect sensor (or digital/PWM signal) input, and provides a 4A output (0-200 Hz, 50% D.C.) to drive a solenoid. The unit has a 100mA +5V reference and operates with 12 or 24VDC power. The CAN bus communication port, SAE J1939, interfaces with the engine ECM. It operates over -40 to 125°C (-40 to 257°F).
The CAN Controlled PWM Valve Driver with Feedback, SAE J1939, p/n AX022810 is designed to control an actuator. It accepts 1 universal signal input, 1 Frequency Sensor input and provides a 4A digital or PWM output to drive an actuator. Power is 12V or 24VDC nominal and the controller is networked to a CAN bus (SAE J1939). It operates over -40 to 105°C (-40 to 221°F).
For machine applications, both designs features an aluminum enclosure, encapsulation, gasket and a 12 pin TE Deutsch p/n DTM15-12PA connector. They carry an IP67 rating and environmental ratings suitable for off-highway vehicles and trucks.
Axiomatic works with Simulink® as the software development platform for prototyping in OEM machine control applications. Simulink® is a model-based design tool for from Mathworks®. It provides an interactive graphical environment and a customizable block library that lets Axiomatic design and implement application-specific control algorithms via embedded coding tools. Using Simulink®, the OEM machine designer can simulate their control system with the Axiomatic module included. This permits fine tuning of the design parameters and testing of functionality prior to machine prototype installation.
