System and method for controlling a hydraulic supply system on a mobile machine

A control system for controlling a hydraulic supply system on a mobile machine, wherein the hydraulic supply system includes a pump supply for supplying pressurized fluid to at least one consumer carried by the mobile machine;

• the control system comprising at least one controller, and being configured to:
• receive, from a pressure sensor of a load sensing LS system associated with the at least one consumer, a pressure signal indicative of a sensed load sensing pressure (LSP) associated with the at least one consumer;
• determine, from the received pressure signal, a rate of increase of the sensed LSP;
• and
• adjust a pump supply pressure (PSP) provided by the pump supply in dependence on the determined rate of increase of the sensed LSP;
• wherein the control system is configured to adjust the PSP to be higher than the sensed LSP by a first pressure differential when a determined rate of increase of the sensed LSP is below a threshold value T and to adjust the PSP to be higher than the sensed LSP by a second pressure differential larger than the first pressure differential for at least a limited time when a determined rate of increase of the sensed LSP is at least as high as the threshold value T.
