The Smart Hybrid Powerpack (SHP) is an electro-hydraulic system which combines the system of Electro Hydraulic Actuator (EHA) and advanced technologies such as network fault tolerance and intelligent control. EHA system has been famous in the industry because that the EHA acts as a power-shift which shifts the power from high-speed electric motor to the high-force of hydraulic cylinder by bi-directional piston pump. If errors in the plant and network occur in the SHP, the system will cause serious malfunctions. To reduce plant noises and network errors, this paper shows the intelligent control method comparing Self-tuning fuzzy with fuzzy control and network fault tolerant error control coding in the SHP. In the intelligent control part, the simulation result shows good performance to reduce plant noises by the self-tuning fuzzy than fuzzy control. In the network fault tolerant error control coding part, proposed scheme also shows good performance by CRC code and Reed-Solomon (R-S) code in two channel (CRT) method than one channel only. We developed LabVIEW Graphic User Interface (GUI) to show these simulation results. Using this GUI, we can save time to experiment and get benefit of guidance to make real program.
