    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a system for providing steering control in a dual path machine includes a propulsion controller operatively connected to plants of the machine for driving ground contacting elements, the propulsion controller being configured to control steering of the dual path machine through drive signals sent to the plants, and a brake controller operatively connected to left and right brakes of the machine, the brake controller being configured to control steering of the machine by providing differential brake pressures to the left and right brakes. The system of the present disclosure provides redundant steering control by receiving an input signal at the brake controller with an indication of steering position, receiving an input signal at the brake controller with an indication of brake position, and providing a differential brake pressure to brakes of the dual path machine based on the steering input signal and brake input signal.

    Abstract: A hydraulic control system for linear actuation that provides a bypass flow during startup of a lifting command, provides a split flow between a cylinder and a reservoir once a minimum operating speed of a pump has been reached, and provides complete flow to a cylinder after the minimum operating speed of the pump has been reached. This is achieved through control of a flow control valve and a proportional flow control valve by a processor.
