Object of control  – hydraulic system 1 with the closed contour of circulation of a working fluid. The control system 2 consists of the electro hydraulic amplifier (EHA) 3 , a computer 4 , the block of comparison 5 and the general feedback 6 .

The electro hydraulic amplifier 3 is presented as consecutive connection of typical linear dynamic links: a conservative link 7 (the electro mechanical converter), the 2-nd order aperiodic link 8 (a spool of the hydraulic amplifier) and an inertial integrating link 9 (the piston of the hydraulic amplifier). In a feedback 6 there is an intensifying link. The block of comparison 5 is the summer. Concrete realization of a computer 4 depends on algorithm of transformations carried out by it. Designations on Fig. 2: – pressures in pipelines of basic contour of the hydraulic system; an angular speed and an angle of turn of the hydraulic motor shaft; a signal on an input of a control system; a control signal on an input of the electro hydraulic amplifier.
