Abstract

Hydraulic motors have a high power capacity that makes them commonly used in different applications. These applications require precise control of hydraulic motors’ position, velocity, and force. Digital hydraulic valves are commonly used in hydraulic power systems. The high-speed on/off valves (HSVs) are digital valves usually used in flow or pressure control where high dynamic performance is required to improve the control accuracy. This paper aims to present an accurate method of controlling a hydraulic motor using HSV and PID control. A mathematical model of the whole system is presented. This model allows predicting the system response and refining the control gains to reach the desired response. The model parameters are obtained by experimental measurement, or typical values are used. The model is implemented using MATLAB and SIMULINK. Then it is validated experimentally using some tests. The designed control method is implemented on the motor using NI myRIO as a controller, which is coded by LabVIEW software
