Hydraulic System Notes

Hydraulic systems must have enough pressure and fluid volume (accumulator) to move the desired load the

commanded distance at the commanded speed. Inadequate pressure or volume will cause the axis to lag the

target position as the controller attempts to move the axis faster than the system can move.

There should be no flexible hose between the valve and the cylinder being controlled. Hose swells and

contracts as the valve opens and closes, causing oscillation and loss of control.

If proportional valves are used they should have zero overlap and a linear (not curvilinear) response.

Overlapped or nonlinear valves may cause oscillation or hunting.

Valves with slow response cause the Motion Control Module (MCM) to overcompensate for disturbances in

the motion of the system. With a slow value the system will not respond immediately to the control signal, so

the MCM continues to increase the drive signal. By the time the system begins to respond to the error, the

control signal has become too large and the system overshoots. The MCM then attempts to control in the

opposite direction, but again it overshoots. These valves can cause the system to oscillate around the set point

as the MCM overshoots first in one direction, then the other.
