Example:  E8 = 1 constant rise rate
 

S1 = 8.00V; S2 = 2.00V; S7 = 6.00s

3.3. Offset

Any drift of the drive can be corrected by the off-
set parameter P1. This functions as an additional 
command signal. If the assembly is operated on 
NC axes, the positioning can be adjusted to 0. The 
value changes in steps of 5mV, display shows every 
second step in 10mV stages.

3.4. Valve Curve Linearisation

Five  curves  are  available  for  linearisation  of  the 
flow characteristics of different valves:
Valve curve 1:  General NC curve, based on experi-

ence.

Valve curve 2:  Linearisation  of  NG6  proportional 

directional  valves  with  flow  char-
acteristic P012 and P020.

Valve curve 3:  Linearisation  of  NG6  proportional 

directional  valves  with  flow  char-
cateristic P006. 

Valve curve 4:  Linearisation of NG10 proportional 

directional valves.

Valve curve 5:  Linearisation of proportional pres-

sure valves.

3.5. Adjustment of Current Gain

Current gain can be set independantly in param-
eters P3 (negative command signals, for solenoid 
A) and P4 (positive command signals, for solenoid 
B). (e.g. balancing for differential cylinders)

3.6. Dither

The dither signal can be matched to the valve by 
parameters  P5  (amplitude)  and  P6  (frequency, 
stepwise  adjustment). The  dither  signal  reduces 
the hysteresis of spool movement. Generally, low 
frequency signals are more effective, however they 
may result in noticeable disturbances (noise, oscil-
lations). Values between 80Hz (for systems with a 
low natural frequency) up to 327Hz (for systems 
with  a  high  natural  frequency)  are  recommend-
able. Sensible values for the amplitude are within 
the range 0.20V to 1.2V. The dither signal reduces 
the  RMS  value  of  the  current  noticeably  at  10V 
command signal.

3.7. Current Controller

Each solenoid is driven by a pulse width-modulated 
signal  with  rapid  de-energisation. The  solenoid 
current is measured and compared with the com-
mand signal in a controller with a PI-characteristic. 
The controller setting can be adjusted separately 
for rise and fall in the current through parameters 
E4 to E7.

3.8. Output Stages

•  Output stages of PWM type are used to reduce 

powerlosses.

•   The pulse frequency is approx. 1.35 kHz.
•   Output stages are equipped with over ener-gisa-

tion and high-speed de-energisation to increase 
the dynamic response.

•   Output stages are designed for solenoids up to 

3.5 A.

•   The  particular  solenoid  type  used  is  set  with 

parameter E3 without any hardware changes.

•   Standard settings are available:
  E3 = 1  3.5A  solenoid;  NG10  proportional  di-

rectional valves, direct controlled

  E3 = 3  2.7A  solenoid;  NG06  proportional 

valves, standard

Affects both internal command signals 
S1 to S4 as well as external command 
signals SW5 and SW6.

Factory settings should only be changed 
in exceptional circumstances after con-
sulting with the manufacturer.
