Abstract
A control system for a hydrostatically driven vehicle comprises a hydraulic drive system having a hydraulic drive unit. An electronic control unit on the machine being driven is operatively connected to the hydraulic drive unit and is adapted to transmit and receive electronically data with respect to the drive unit. An external operator control unit is comprised of a data card inserted into a manual control means and is detachably connected to the electronic control unit. The data carrier card has an interface capable of transmitting data into and receiving data from the hydraulic drive unit to the electronic control unit. The data carrier card and the external operator control unit have memory capability.
