Safety instructions Please read this document and the safety instructions carefully. This document will help to define the product area of application and to put it into operation. Additional documents and knowledge of the application should be taken into account or be available. General regulations and laws (depending on the country: e.g.
Characteristics This amplifier plug is used to control proportional valves with one solenoid. The compact solution will be mounted directly on the solenoid. A typical input signal of 0…10 V (optional 4…20mA) can be used. The output current is closed loop controlled and therefore independent from the supply voltage and a varying solenoid resistance.
Use and application Installation instructions • All cables which lead outside must be shielded; a complete shielding is required. It is also a requirement that no strong electro-magnetic interference sources are installed nearby when using our control and regulation modules. •...
Commissioning Step Task Install the device in accordance with the circuit diagram. Ensure it Installation is wired correctly and that the signals are well shielded. Ensure that no unwanted movement is possible in the drive (e. g. switch off the hydraulics). Connect an amperemeter and check the Switching on for the first current consumed by the device.

Manual parametrization Parameter overview The manual adjustment is comparable with the adjustment via potentiometer. Not all parameters of the power plug are available in this mode. For full functionality, the use of the PC interface is necessary. Switchposition Parameter Range Remarks Released only by pressing the button "up"...
Procedural method Task Parameter Press a button or turn the selector switch, which activates the manual adjustment mode. The parameter-LED flashes. Select the desired parameter (1… 6) by the selector switch. The parameter LED indicates - by flashing - the parameter mode. At the lower boundary the LED lights only briefly At the upper boundary the LED lights almost continuously Press the UP or DOWN button.

This command offers an individual scalable input. The following linear equation is used for the scaling. = ∗ ( − ) The “C” value is the offset (e.g. to compensate the 4 mA in case of a 4… 20 mA input signal). The variables A and B are defining the gain factor with which the signal range is scaled up to 100 % (e.g.
LIM (Signal monitoring) Command Parameter Unit Group x= 0… 2000 0.01 % The signal monitoring deactivates the output current if the input signal leaves the permitted range after scaling. This function makes it possible to detect a short circuit or cable break of a joystick or potentiometer.
MIN (Overlap compensation) / MAX (output scaling) / TRIGGER (Threshold value of MIN) Command Parameter Unit Group x= 0… 6000 0.01 % x= 2000… 10000 0.01 % TRIGGER x x= 0… 3000 0.01 % The output signal is adapted to the valve by these commands. With the MAX value the output signal (the maximum valve current) will be defined.

Dither and also MIN/MAX always refer to the selected current range. 0 = 1.0 A range 1 = 2.5 A range 7.9 DAMPL / DFREQ (Ditheramplitude and Dither frequency) Command...
IPWM parameters should be adjusted. The PWM frequency can only be set in defined steps. This means that there are deviations between the specified and the actual frequency. The next highest frequency step is always used. 7.11 PPWM / IPWM (Solenoid current controller P gain and I-gain) Command Parameter Unit...
