ABSTRACT

A system and method for controlling a movement function of a machine having
first and second components. A controller commands delivery of an initial
threshold current to a coil for opening a valve in response to a user request
to perform the movement function. The controller determines a difference
between a measured value of a parameter associated with the first component
and a target value. When a change in the difference during a first period
exceeds a first change threshold, the controller commands delivery of a
reduced threshold current less than the initial threshold current. When a
change in the difference during a second period fails to exceed a second
change threshold, the controller commands delivery of an increased threshold
current greater than the initial threshold current. The reduced or increased
threshold current when delivered to the coil controls movement of the first
component relative to the second.
