Closed loop steering by wheel steering is chosen when:
•
The knob of the steering wheel must return in the same position for straight forward driving
•
Accurate steering sensitivity is required
•
Steering motion is required at extreme low steering wheel speeds
•
Hold the steering actuator at a fixed position when steering wheel speed is zero.

Warning
Steering by steering wheel in closed loop mode shall only applied in systems with a PVED-CL and an
EHPS valve. Using an OSP and an EH valve in closed-loop is not a valid configuration and will lead to
unpredictable closed loop performance.
The tree below illustrates the functionality available in the PVED-CL for closed-loop steering wheel
steering. The manufacturing default is found by following the red line. Following the instructions in this
chapter can of course modify it. The switches in the tree are used to select the functionality required. In
case different functionalities are required, the EHPS software provides multiple programs for each
steering device.

For safety reasons, an anti wind up function prevents the steering actuator to lag behind the drivers
steering intends. The function is typically needed when not enough flow is supplied to the steering
system at high steering wheel speeds combined with a low steering ratio or when not enough pressure is
provided when the driver steers against a high resistance. Under these conditions and without effective
measures it might significantly reduce the ability to steer the vehicle at higher speeds. The anti wind up
function operates continuously and will limit the set point when commanded port flow exceeds the max
flow capacity of the valve. These events always increase the number of steering wheel turn from lock to
lock.
