ABSTRACT
In this paper we describe the mechatronics system of a forklift. The system is divided into HMI, control, hydraulics and electric drives. For education of systems engineering at master level it will be shown that a forklift is a suitable setup. It combines hydraulics as well as DC and AC drives, CAN bus network and embedded controller that have to be configured and programmed. Additionally safety issues have to be considered within the control. Finally measurement results will show the behaviour of a current control for a hydraulic valve and the process of a lifting operation.
