Patent ID: 7441404

Claim:
A hydraulic control system for a machine having a plurality of removably attachable tools, comprising: a tool recognition device configured to generate a recognition signal corresponding to each of the removably attachable tools; at least one fluid actuator configured to move at least one of the plurality of removably attachable tools; at least one fluid sensor configured to generate a load signal indicative of a load on the at least one fluid actuator; at least one operator interface device configured to generate a desired velocity signal indicative of a desired velocity of the fluid actuator; a controller in communication with the tool recognition device, the at least one fluid actuator, the at least one fluid sensor, and the at least one operator interface device, the controller configured to command a velocity for the fluid actuator in response to the recognition signal, the load signal, and the desired velocity signal; and wherein the controller includes a memory having at least one table stored therein, the table functionally relating a plurality of operator interface device position values and a plurality of fluid actuator load values to establish command velocity.
