Abstract

A fluid system includes first and second control valves that control fluid communication with first and second actuators. The first control valve may combine fluid flow from a second end port of the first actuator with fluid flow from a pressurized fluid source when providing a supply of fluid to a first end port of the first actuator. The first and second control valves include first and second signal ports in fluid communication with the supply of fluid to the first and second actuators. A resolver outputs a resolved signal pressure equal to the greater of a first signal pressure output by the first signal port and a second signal pressure output by the second signal port. A compensator in fluid communication with the first control valve and the first actuator controls fluid flow from the first control valve to the first actuator based on the resolved signal pressure.
