<p>A fluid circuit includes a tank for holding fluid, a hydraulic device having a predetermined load configuration, and a pump for delivering the fluid under pressure to the hydraulic device. Sensors measure at least one of a supply pressure, a tank pressure, and a position of a portion of the hydraulic device. A controller estimates or reconstructs an output value of any one sensor using the predetermined load configuration in the event of a predetermined failure of that sensor, ensuring continued operation of the hydraulic device. A method for estimating the output value includes sensing output values using the sensors, processing the output values using the controller to determine the presence of a failed sensor, and calculating an estimated output value of the failed sensor using the predetermined load configuration. Operation of the hydraulic device is maintained using the estimated output value until the failed sensor can be repaired.</p> |
