1
Team CNH Design a less expensive propulsion control system with equivalent or better performance than existing hardware for Hydrostatic Windrower Machine. Mission Statement: Forward
2
Customer Wants Low Cost Very Reliable Easy to Use Easy Maintenance High Level of Accuracy Comfortable to Use Minimal Machine Redesign Highly Repeatable Continued Operation Ability High Perception of Safety
3
Constraints System Must Be Safe System Must Meet all ASAE Codes Total System < $300.00
4
Benchmarking Current CNH System

6
Design Metrics Time to Reach Neutral Total Cost Response Time Serviceability Index Component Effects Energy Usage Repeatability Rate Number of Parts Changed
7
Design Target Values Stopping Time < 10 Seconds Total Cost < $250.00 Response Time < ¼ Second Serviceability Index < 237 12 Volt System, Draw < 30 Amps Mean Time Between Failures > 3,240 Hours Number of Parts Replaced <4

Motion Actuation
10
Concept 1- Rotary Actuator
11
Motion Actuation Concept 2- Linear Actuator
12
Actuation Design Decision Chose to Use A Linear Actuator Because: Least Expensive Solution Smallest Amount of Machine Redesign More Durability Lowest Energy Requirements
13
Safety Return
14
Concept 1- Engine Shutoff Benefits: Least Expensive and Easiest to Implement Major Problems: Complete Loss of Operation After Failure Customer Perception of “Unsafe”
15
Safety Return Concept 2- Collapsible Linkage Normal Operating Conditions Failure Mode
16
Safety Return Concept 3-Hydrostatic Braking
17
Safety Return Concept 4- Hydro-Mechanical Failsafe
18
Safety Return Design Decision Chose the Hydro-Mechanical Failsafe Because: Safe Low Cost Quick Time to Reach Neutral Position Ability to Use Other Functions After Propulsion Shutoff
19
Final Design Assembly

How Does it Work?
21
Reverse vs. Forward Engine Shutoff Machine will not be cutting crop in reverse Center of gravity is close to front of machine Reverse speed much less than maximum forward speed Machine will not be moving in reverse on roadways
22
Future Controller Design
23
Validation- Machine Tests How Will Machine React if Engine is Shutoff While Operating in Reverse?
24
Validation- Machine Tests Engine RPMCylinder Position Ground Speed
25
Validation- FMEA Failure Modes and Effects Analysis Identifies Potential Failure Modes Estimates Occurrence Rate Assess Severity of Failure Evaluates Potential To Detect Failure Recommends a Design Action to Lower Risk if Needed
26
Sample FMEA
