Abstract

In order to correct non-linearities inherently existing in the relation between the value of a hydraulic fluid parameter controlled by a proportional valve and an operating signal controlling the valve, in an arrangement in which the setting of the valve is controlled by effecting a comparison between the operating signal and a feedback signal representing the valve movement, a memory is provided to modify one of those signals prior to comparison in a manner to compensate for such non-linearities.
