The field of earth moving equipment is experiencing a transformation due to the introduction of more electronic control capability and advanced control concepts. Conventional hydraulic control systems are controlled by proportional directional spool valve. The construction of the spool valve is such that a given position of the spool determines the flow in and the flow out restriction sizes. Thus, metering in and metering out are dependent or coupled. A certain restriction size on the inlet corresponds to a certain restriction size on the outlet. Therefore, we have one degree of freedom. It can provide for good motion control but it cannot achieve energy saving potential at the same time. In this paper, the concept of ‘independent meter in / meter out’ will be emphasized. Decoupling of meter in from meter out provides for more controllability and potential for energy saving in overrunning load cases when compared with a conventional spool valve controlled hydraulic system. A four-valve configuration controlling a hydraulic cylinder will be stressed. The four-valve configuration can operate in several modes because each of the four valves is controlled separately from the others. Five of these metering modes will be pointed out; two conventional modes and three regenerative modes. An industry system supplier has introduced a novel distributed independent metering in/meter out hydraulic system with actuator force feedback. This control system is going to presented in brief. The distributed, actuator mounted implementation of this system maximizes the efficiency of the regeneration flow by minimizing the line losses associated with the recirculating fluid This control system can be used to control a multi-functional hydraulic device, e.g. excavators, tractor loader backhoes, etc... An experiment was done where a typical dig cycle was performed by a tractor loader backhoe equipped with this new technology. The data recorded from this experiment is used to perform an off-line optimization of metering modes selection for each function during the cycle. this off-line optimization can be used to maximize machine productivity or machine efficiency or a weighted combination of both. A general objective function will be presented and results will be given for maximizing machine productivity. Finally conclusions and future work suggestions are presented.

Hydraulic transmission system controls hydraulic cylinder forward and backward movement freely, in order to achieve high density hydraulic baler work circulation. Creep test required hydraulic system to output constant stress, and study creep tests can not be completed when used succeeding the electrical contact style in the past time. The system used programmable logic controller (PLC) to instead of succeeding the electrical contact style and realized freely forward and backward movement of hydraulic cylinder, electro-hydraulic proportional relief valve can adjust hydraulic system and make it stepless pressure regulation and then degree of automation and reliability in hydraulic control system to be improved. This paper introduces aspects: including the selection, hardware configuration and program of PLC, meanwhile, giving specific realization method. Through the control system to study creep test in hydraulic baler, adopting the National Instrument (NI) company's multi-channel data acquisition card, which type is USB-6251,applying Labview8.2 to write data acquisition program on my own, the versatility and flexibility of system was verified, which was able to complete creep test successfully.

The 47 800-ton vessel Altair of the Compagnie Navale des Pétroles (C.N.P.) was the first oil-tanker to be equipped with a hydraulic remote-control system of cargo valves. The vessel was delivered at the beginning of May 1959. The opening and closing operations of the valves were controlled from a central panel which was fitted with manually operated directional control valves. The panel was located in the cargo valves' remote-control room which also housed the indispensable remote-controlled level-indicator board. Since then the application of hydraulic remote-controlled valves has become widespread and has taken one of two forms : that of a centralized control system or that of directional control valves located on the deck. Remote-controlled valves are either gate valves operated by a hydraulic cylinder, or butterfly valves operated by a hydraulic rotary actuator. The application of remote-control also allowed the setting up of the ‘free-flow’ system which uses hydraulically operated bulkhead valves. The first ‘free-flow’ oil-tanker was the Sirius of the C.N.P.; it was delivered in 1961. At present it appears that there exists an ever-increasing trend towards automation in the loading and unloading of tanker cargoes. This is accomplished by electrically operated directional control valves, which are connected with electrically programmed systems or with electronic servo-controls.

Application of high-speed on-off valve in the hydraulic cylinder speed control system was researched in this paper. Series and parallel application schemes between high-speed on-off valve and hydraulic cylinder are proposed. Model of high-speed on-off valve and hydraulic circuit were established to carry out simulation. The speed and acceleration curve of hydraulic cylinder were achieved by the means of simulation with Simulink. The simulation curves show that, two application schemes can both control the speed of hydraulic cylinder effectively. Series application scheme can be only applied to small flow hydraulic system; parallel application scheme has wider application.

In this paper, the hydraulic control system design and dynamic analysis are considered in superior calculation efficiency based on Lagrangian method and fundamental laws for getting control algorithms to investigate about hydraulic system how to control hydraulic system and take hydraulic controller to the optimization. The systems built in dynamical parameters are associated hydraulic control system achieved with control parameters. And then, an interface is achieved. The relations between control parameters are obtained. The numerical tools are going to determine all kinematic parameters of bodies such as displacement, velocities, accelerations as well as reaction forces are responded. The AMESim and RecurDyn are used such Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) techniques to solve the numerical examples in this paper. Those examples will imply that the equation of motion based on Euler–Lagrange equation and characteristic effect of force is executable. Through results, we could achieve control improvement at different hydraulic systems.
