  • Method for controlling a solenoid valve
    Patent number: 8515643
    Abstract: In a method for controlling a proportional solenoid valve in a hydraulic system, a model of the hydraulic system is formed, control cycles are predefined, and an estimate is made of the pressure prevailing in the hydraulic system at the end of the control cycle and of the coil current applied to the coil of the solenoid valve based on the variables prevailing at the start of the control cycle, the physical parameters of components of the hydraulic system, and the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
    Type: Grant
