Pilot operated check valve with closing pilot

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi!
I have a system I'm trying to simulate where there is a pilot operated check valve. In this system, the pilot pressure is used for closing the valve with pressure ratio of 1.8 between A and X instead of opening as it is in the SimHydraulics' library readymade-block. Valve in question: Sun Hydraulics Pilot-to-close check valve
The check valve is on the cylinder A side and allows flow to the tank line. It gets the pilot from the A line behind a normal check valve (ratio 1.8) so it stays closed when flow is going from pump to cylinder A-side. When cylinder is being moved in other direction the pilot goes to 0, and flow from cylinder A to T is allowed through this valve.
Is there a way to configure this block to operate differently or does anyone have some suggestions which would be the best way to construct this component out of other blocks? I've added a small illustration about the system below:
