Abstract
A hydraulic system includes a power source, a fluid displacement assembly, a plurality of actuators, a plurality of control valves and an electronic control unit. The fluid displacement assembly is coupled to the power source. The plurality of actuators is in selective fluid communication with the fluid displacement assembly. The plurality of control valves is adapted to provide selective fluid communication between the fluid displacement assembly and the plurality of actuators. The electronic control unit is adapted to actuate the plurality of control valves, the electronic control unit receives a rotational speed of the power source, determines a firing frequency of the power source based on the rotational speed, selects a frequency of the pulse width modulation signal for the plurality of control valves based on the firing frequency of the power source, and actuates the plurality of control valves in accordance with the frequency of the pulse width modulation signal.
