Method and system for controlling the height of an agricultural implement relative to the ground

A position control system for an implement of an agricultural work vehicle, the position control system comprising

• an implement;
• an implement position sensor configured to detect a position of the implement relative to a ground surface;
• an actuator configured to adjust the position of the implement relative to the ground surface;
• a controller communicatively coupled to the implement position sensor, the controller including a processor and associated memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the implement controller to:
• monitor an implement position parameter indicative of the position of the implement relative to the ground surface based on signals received from the implement position sensor;
• calculate a normal output signal associated with controlling an operation of the actuator based on the implement position parameter;
• determine when a boost condition is satisfied based on a comparison between the implement position parameter and a predetermined implement position parameter threshold;
• when it is determined that the boost condition is satisfied, compute a boost output signal associated with controlling the operation of the actuator based on the implement position parameter;
• calculate a total output signal for controlling the operation the actuator as function of both the normal output signal and the boost output signal;
• and
• control the operation of the actuator based on the total output signal to adjust the position of the implement relative to the ground surface.
