Description
The component LSController is a pump controller for use in load sensing applications.
The LS controller is a pressure control with an additional LS offset pressure to compensate the losses of pressure compensator valves. The inputs are normalized to the LS pressure, so that the input of gain, integrator, and derivative has the dimension 1. The output also ranges from 0 to 1 according to the displacement input of pumps.
The displacement is calculated with a first order delay parameterized by Time constant of pump displacement. The pumps themselves (VariableFlowPump, VariableFlowPumpCC, VariableDisplacementPump) have no dynamical displacement behavior.
