Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to using an electro-hydraulic solenoid valve to provide regulation of fluid displacement of a variable-displacement hydraulic pump. A mechanical control mechanism is configured to control displacement of hydraulic fluid pumped from a hydraulic input port to a hydraulic output port. The electro-hydraulic solenoid valve regulates fluid conductivity between a hydraulic output port of the variable-displacement hydraulic pump and a hydraulic control cylinder, which operates a hydraulic control piston coupled to the mechanical control mechanism controlling fluid displacement. An electronic control unit is configured to generate and transmit an electrical control signal to the electro-hydraulic solenoid valve in response to a metric of the variable-displacement hydraulic pump as measured by a transducer. The electronic control unit generates the electrical control signal so as to control the metric measured to within a predetermined control band about a target value.
