Abstract (en)

A method of determining a state of an electronically commutated hydraulic machine (10), the machine (10) having a machine shaft (12) that is connected to a set of piston assemblies (18), each piston assembly (18) comprising a respective electromechanical actuator (56). The method comprises performing a diagnostic routine while the machine shaft (12) is stationary. The diagnostic routine comprises: operating each of the actuators (56) of the set of piston assemblies (18); detecting, for each actuator (56), a signal indicative of a response of the actuator (56) as the actuator (56) is operated; and analysing each of the detected actuator response signals to determine the state of the machine (10).
