METHOD FOR REMOVING FOREIGN MATTER FROM A DIGITAL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CONTROLLER

Foreign matter is removed from a digital hydraulic pressure controller having two portions connectable to each other and each including two valve arrays with a plurality of individually switchable valve means having different flow cross-sections and connected in parallel within a valve array. One valve array of each pressure controller portion can connect a supply line to a controller output line and the other valve array can connect the output line to a drain line. The two pressure controller portions are connected, the valve means having the largest flow cross-section of the valve array of the one portion on the supply line side is opened, the valve means having the largest flow cross-section of the valve array of the other portion on the drain line side is opened and the opened flow path is flushed through the pressure controller with pressurized working fluid, while the other valve means are closed.
