note! 

Electrostatic sensitive components / modules!

The device contains electronic components which react sensitively to 
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Contact with electrostatically charged 
persons or objects is hazardous to these components. In the worst case 
scenario, they will be destroyed immediately or will fail after start-up.
• Observe the requirements in accordance with EN 61340-5-1 and 

5-2 to minimise or avoid the possibility of damage caused by sudden 
electrostatic discharge!

• Do not touch live electronic components!

ProducT descriPTion

5.1  field of application

The Control Electronics, Type 8605, is designed for continuous operation 
in  industrial  environments,  in  particular  in  the  fields  of  open-loop  and 
closed-loop control engineering.

5.2  General description

The Digital Control Electronics for Proportional Valves, Type 8605 (here-
inafter referred to as Control Electronics, Type 8605) Controls all Bürkert 
proportional valves with a max. current in the range from 40 to 2000 mA.
It transforms an external standard signal into a pulse-width modulated 
voltage signal (PWM) that is supplied to the solenoid coil of the propor-
tional valve.
A given value of the average coil current is thereby assigned to each 
value of the input signal. The proportional opening of the valve can be 
set via the coil current.

5.3  forms of the device

5.3.1 Type 8605 cable plug version

Fig. 1:  Type 8605 Cable plug version

Plug-in version on valves with connector pattern A (e. g. types 2832, 
2833,  2834,  2835,  2836,  2853,    2863,  2865,  2873,    2875,  6022, 
6023, 6024, 6223).
The  operating  unit  can  be  removed  after  the  setting  process.  During 
operation of the Control Electronics 8605 in cable plug version without 
operating unit, the operating status is indicated by two LEDs.

Device variants:

• Variant 1 for valves with a max. current from 200 to 1000 mA
• Variant 2 for valves with a max. current from 500 to 2000 mA

5.3.2 Type 8605 din rail version

Fig. 2:  Type 8605 DIN rail version

Separate electronics in housing for DIN rail mounting to DIN EN 50022. 
This form is suitable for all proportional valves in the indicated current 
range. The operating unit cannot be removed.

Device variants:

• Variant 1 for valves with a max. current from 40 to 220 mA
• Variant 2 for valves with a max. current from 200 to 1000 mA
• Variant 3 for valves with a max. current from 500 to 2000 mA
