<p>An electrohydraulic servo system forming a control loop for controlling pressure of fluid in a cavity of undetermined volume includes a valve (14) which fluid as a function of position of the valve element (16) is supplied from. An electronic valve controller (40) receives a pressure command signal (Pc) from remote master electrinics (42), and a pressure feedback signal (P) from a pressure sensor (46) in the loop. Such signals (P, Pc) are compared in a pressure-control mode of operation, and a difference or error signal is employed for generating valve control singals (Ye). A second sensor (44) supplies a position feedback signal (Y). The pressure feedback signal (P) is varied with respective gain (Kp), the position feedback signal (Y) is varied with further gain (Kd), and the difference or error signal is varied with another gain (Ke). Cavity volume is determined as a function of the pressure and position feedback signals (P, Y). Control loop gains, specifically Ke and Kd, are varied as a function of cavity volume for thereby adapting the system for either intended or unintended variations in cavity volume.</p> |
