description The hydraulic system is a key component of intelligent forestry harvesters. In the testing of a forestry harvester, researchers need to analyze the operating efficiency and energy consumption of the forestry harvester based on the pressure and flow rate data in the hydraulic system of the forestry harvester and formulate energy-efficient control strategies. In order to enable researchers to monitor and extract the parameters of the hydraulic system of an intelligent forestry harvester in real time, this paper designs a hydraulic online monitoring system for forestry harvesters based on the LabVIEW 2019 software platform. This system realizes the following functions by reading the CAN (controller area network, a serial communication protocol for multi-host localized networks) bus of the harvester: (1) it collects and stores hydraulic system pressure, flow, and other data and displays the value curve in the system interface in real time, and (2) it monitors the control signals received by the hydraulic system and displays the control signal status and value received by the system interface in real time. This paper used this system to carry out on-site testing of an actual machine, and compared and analyzed the online monitoring data of the hydraulic system and the theoretical pressure data of the main hydraulic valve manifold. The average value of the relative error between the two was 1.65%, and the maximum value of the relative error was 2.75%. The results show that the designed system has good accuracy and stability, and can effectively realize online monitoring of the working status of the hydraulic system of forestry harvesters during their operation.
