A new publication, Communication & Data Protocols for Mobile Equipment, has been published by the National Fluid Power Association. Copies can be downloaded after a brief registration process from the following website:
As defined in the 2023 NFPA Technology Roadmap, there are many machine-level technology trends that are actively shaping the future of the fluid power industry. These trends include the increasing electrification, connectivity, and autonomous functionality of both the mobile and industrial machines that use fluid power in their power or control systems. In September 2023, NFPA launched its Technology Task Force to better understand these trends, and to engage stakeholders across the supply chain in the development of the resources and connections that will be needed to keep fluid power positioned as an actuation technology of choice on mobile and industrial platforms.
The white paper is the first of several projects identified by the Task Force to help it fulfill this mission. Its goal is to summarize the communications and data protocols most commonly used on mobile equipment, and to collect and present case studies showing successful integrations with fluid power systems.
The white paper will be showcased and discussed during a panel discussion at the upcoming NFPA Industry and Economic Outlook conference.
