Information

This is a model of a control valve with four ports and three states. The valve has a tank port t, a pressure port p, and two load ports a and b. The insignal, u, to the spool is the force on the mechanical flange. The valve is controlled by a mechanical spool with dynamics; see SpoolM.


Control valve with four ports and three states


Valve with no overlap at center position. At the center position the valve is closed, and there is only leakage flow between the ports if there is no overlap.


Valve at left position, u = 1; there is flow from p to a and from b to t


Valve at right position, u = -1; there is flow from a to t and from p to b

Implementation

This valve basically consists of orifices controlled by a spool.
