Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a control system network architecture for a fluidic control system such as a hydraulic or pneumatic control system. The architecture includes a plurality of clustered control-component nodes with each node being alternatively configurable to independently control the operation of multiple single-acting controlled endpoint devices or a double-acting controlled endpoint device. Each node includes control-components including a solenoid, one or more valve spools independently controllable by the solenoid, and a low-level controller operable to control the solenoid. The solenoid, valve spools, and low-level controller are clustered together and physically co-located as a unit. The nodes are arranged in a control block with each node being uniquely identifiable for data communication via a data communication network. The data communication network may include a Controller Area Network (CAN). Multiple control blocks may be equipped with communication modules and linked for data communication between the control blocks.

Claim (Index 15):
The control system network architecture of  claim 11 , wherein said control block comprises a first control block, wherein a second group of nodes of said plurality of nodes are physically arranged together in a second control block, wherein said second control block comprises a communication module for communicating data messages, and wherein said communication module of said first control block and said communication module of said second control block are operative to communicate data messages between said first control block and said second control block.
