First, the developed virtual distributor is introduced into the circuit to substitute the existing single-spool distributor. The control strategy involves an open loop control of the four main valves as an independent metering architecture. Using the flow request and pressure measurements at the valve ports, the system is able to calculate the current value I to be sent to the valve. Depending on the flow rate Qin and the measured differential pressure Δp across the valve, the following logical sequence is developed:
