Abstract
The invention relates to a control circuitry for a solenoid operated control valve. The invention provides for a simplified means to obtain a constant valve gain and thus a linear valve characteristic by stepwise varying the gain of the input signal to control the stroke of the valve piston. The non-linear valve gain is first measured to obtain gain correcting values which are stored in a table store corresponding to predetermined values of the input signal for controlling the valve. This input signal is delivered by a commercial CNC-control. The input signal is varied by the correcting means so that the input signal is increased in the zero-flow-range of the valve for example. Assuming that the pressure difference across the valve is constant there will be obtained a linear flow characteristic for the valve. The resolution of the corrected input value is responsive only to the resolution of the CNC input valve as the input value is continuously corrected by multiplication between its incremental steps.
