  • Patent number: 5550449
    Abstract: The process has an open control loop which detects the total current intensity of actuators and supplies it to a microprocessor. In a modulation mode the microprocessor successively generates at its output a modulated set value signal for each actuator, the set value signals lying below the response level of the process. The microprocessor then determines compensation values from the total current signal with which the set values of the actuators are corrected. The (regulating) speed of a control is thus combined with the accuracy of a regulation. The hardware expenditure (costs) is minimized thanks to the total current detection instead of the individual current detection.

  • Patent number: 5069111
    Abstract: A hydraulic pressure-control device, specially for powershift transmissions of motor vehicles, comprises a fluid pump (1) and a main valve for regulating the pressure in at least one high-pressure consumer device (6), which is attached to a pressure pipe (3) between the fluid pump (1) and the main pressure valve. The main pressure valve is designed as pressure-relief valve. In the main pressure valve is integrated the operation of a second pressure-relief valve. Two different pressure limits can be adjusted in the pressure pipe (3) by a valve piston (21) through two compression springs (17, 18) connected in parallel of which one compression spring (18) is bound.
