Proportional Directional Control Valves Compact design with integrated electronics High reliability Simple replacement of the exciting coils including electronics without opening the hydraulic circuits Continuous flow control in both directions Installation dimensions to DIN 24 340 / ISO 4401 / CETOP RP121-H Functional Description The proportional directional valve consists of a cast-iron housing, a special control spool, two centering springs with supporting washers and one or two proportional solenoids. A control box, which comprises one or two electronic control cards, depending on the number of the controlled solenoids, can be mounted onto either solenoid. With the model with two solenoids, the solenoid mounted apposite the control box is connected with the box by means of a EN connector, a two-cored cable and a bushing. The connection of the control box with the supply source and with the control signal is realized by means of a 4-pin connector, type M12 x 1. The solenoid coils, including the o control box, can be turned in the range of ± 90 . The electric control unit supplies the solenoid with current, which varies with the control signal. The solenoid shifts the control spool to the required position, proportional to the control current. The electronic control unit provides the following adjustment possibilities: Offset, Gain, rise and drop-out time of the ramp generator, frequency (2 frequencies) and amplitude of the dither signal generator. The correct function of the control unit is signaled by LED-diodes. Stabilized voltage +10V (+5V for 12V voltage) is also available for the user. By the use of this voltage, a voltage control signal can be made by means of a potentiometer ³ 1 kW. The electronic control card enables voltage or current control to be used, according to the positions of the switches SW1 to SW3 (see table on page 6). The basic surface treatment of the valve housing is phosphate coated, the operating solenoids are zinc coated.
