PA: Pump port
PA2: Pump pressure pilot port
PDP: Drain port
PM: Mode selector pressure pilot port
PPL: Control pressure output port (to LS valve)
Function
When the pump discharge pressure (PP1)
q
(self-pressure) and (PP2) (other pump pres-
sure) are high, the PC valve controls the pump
so that the volume of oil beyond the discharge
pressure-based specific flowrate may not be
conducted however you may increase the con-
trol valve stroke. Namely it is intended at con-
trolling the horse power for the pumps so that it
may not exceed the engine hose power.
q If the pump discharge pressure increases due
to increased load during operation, this valve
decreases the pump delivery.
q And if the pump delivery pressure goes low, it
increases the pump delivery.
q In this case, relation between the mean dis-
charge pressure of the front and rear pumps
[(PP1) + (PP2)]/2 and the pump delivery (Q)
will becomes as shown in the diagram if the
relation is represented as the parameter the
current value (X) to be given to PC-EPC valve
solenoid.
The controller continues counting the actual
q
engine speed.
q If the engine speed is slowed down due to
increased load, the controller reduces the
pump delivery to recover the speed.

If the engine speed goes below the specified
q
value because of increased load, the controller
sends a command current to PC-EPC valve
solenoid in order to reduce the slope angle in
proportion to reduction in the engine speed.
