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 insignals to the spools are u1 and u2. The valve is controlled by two electrical spools with dynamics; see SpoolP2Windings.

This valve is similar to PCVE43ClosedCenter; the only difference is the middle state. In this model, all ports are connected in the middle state. In the figure below, u = u1 - u2.

Implementation

This valve basically consists of orifices controlled by a spool.
