Claim 0:
1. A control system for a double-acting air cylinder of an agricultural implement, comprising:
a valve assembly configured to control a base end air pressure within a base end of the double-acting air cylinder and to control a rod end air pressure within a rod end of the double-acting air cylinder, wherein the double-acting air cylinder is configured to apply a force to a ground-engaging tool of the agricultural implement based on the base end air pressure and the rod end air pressure;
a controller communicatively coupled to the valve assembly, wherein the controller comprises a memory and a processor, and the controller is configured to:
determine a target base end air pressure and a target rod end air pressure based on a target force of the double-acting air cylinder and a target damping factor of the double-acting air cylinder; and
control the valve assembly such that a first difference between the base end air pressure and the target base end air pressure is less than a first threshold value and a second difference between the rod end air pressure and the target rod end air pressure is less than a second threshold value.
