Abstract
A review of recent and current research on the control of fluid power systems is presented. Strengths and weaknesses of different schemes for control at both the component and system level are identified. It is argued that the selection and tuning of the controller is a critical part of system design and that simulation has an essential role to play in this process.Keywords
