Abstract (en)

Method of controlling an electro-hydraulic open center control valve (OCV) for the operation of a hydraulic actuator (ACT) of an organ (A, B) of a working or agricultural vehicle (VHE), powered by a pump (P), wherein a control signal of the control valve is generated proportionally to a position of a control lever (J), the method including a first step (Step 1) of detecting the exceeding of a predetermined position (DB) of the control lever (J) of the hydraulic organ, a second and consequent step (Step 2) of increasing and measuring a control signal value (Offset) at a staring movement of said hydraulic actuator and a third step (Step 3) of setting a positive offset to the control signal (LS) approximately equal to said control signal value, as long as the position of the control lever (J) of the hydraulic organ exceeds said predetermined position (DB).
