Introduction
The task of the ESP module is to give your wheelchair safer driving properties.
ESP stands for Enhanced Steering Performance.
The ESP module is programmed by Permobil to give the wheelchair optimum
performance. Customization may mean that small adjustments are necessary
afterwards. Adjustments to the preprogrammed parameters may only be made
by an engineer with good knowledge of the ESP module.
The ESP module is installed on the wheelchair chassis. See the chassis service
manual for further information.
The ESP module is connected between the wheelchair actuator and the output
stage, Pilot+. The module contains a sensor that measures the wheelchair’s
course deviations. A processor uses the information to correct any deviations
from the course the user set using the wheelchair actuator. The ESP module
uses the information from the sensor and the actuator to calculate a correct
control signal. The control signal is then passed to the wheelchair output stage,
Pilot+, which controls the drive motors.
Operation of the ESP module requires access to the full capacity of the output
stage. Pilot+’s various parameters therefore need to be adjusted to predefined
values to guarantee full maneuverability.
NB. The parameters in the Pilot+ output stage are set by Permobil and
must not be changed. If changes need to be made to the wheelchair
properties, they must be made via adjustments to the ESP module. The
ESP module has built-in functions to control wheelchair performance,
acceleration, course stability, etc.
