  • Patent number: 11125254
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electro-hydraulic control system for directing fluid to at least one hydraulic actuator, the system comprising at least one electronic controller; first and second pilot valves being electrically connected to the at least one electronic controller which is arranged to control the operation of the first and second pilot valves, third and fourth pilot valves being electrically connected to the at least one electronic controller which is arranged to control operation of the third and fourth pilot valves. A pilot operated main valve is configured to control fluid flow to at least one hydraulic actuator. Each of the first and second pilot valves and the third and fourth pilot valves is a fail-safe pilot valve arranged to drain a regulated outlet port to a low pressure reservoir if a spool of the fail-safe pilot valve becomes stuck in an open state.
