 1 Overview of proportional amplifier type EV1M3

Proportional ampliers actuate proportional solenoid valves by converting an

input signal into a corresponding control current.
The amplifier module EV1M3 can be assembled on a 32 mm or 35 mm DIN rail
through the use of an additional card holder. Thanks to the excellent control
accuracy and highly precise feedback measurement, even challenging hydraulic
applications can easily be realised.A multi-turn potentiometer is used to
congure the valve parameters such as the minimum and maximum current,
dither and ramps.
A multi-turn potentiometer is used to congure the valve parameters such as the
minimum and maximum current, dither and ramps.

B4, TP3-TP6 are only in use when a coarse adjustment of the ramp times „rise“ and/or „fall“ on the multi-range-potentiometers is
carried out by measuring the voltage (see Chapter 5.3, "Fast adjustment of ramp times").

TP1, TP2 test points for measuring the coil (inductive) current 100 mV & 0.5 A

The amplifier is suitable for use with all HAWE proportional valves up to 24 V. For the electro-hydraulic remote control of PSL(V)
directional spool valves according to D 7770, due to the twin proportional solenoids for the switching positions A and B, it must
be ensured that, depending on the control direction, electric switching to the particular solenoid takes place automatically, e.g. by
reverser (micro switch) in the remote control hand lever potentiometer, see Chapter 6.2, "Controlling hydraulic valves using one twin or
two individual proportional solenoids for alternating operation".

3.3 Electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC)

The EMC of the device was tested using an accredited testing laboratory (emitted interference according to EN 61000-6-3 and immunity
to interference according to EN 61000-6-2 evaluation criterion "B"). The test set-ups only represent typical use. This EMC testing does
not release the user from carrying out adequate prescribed EMC testing of their complete system (according to Directive 2004/108/EC).
If the EMC of the complete system must be further amplied, the following measures can be tested and introduced:

■ The required smoothing capacitor in accordance with Chapter 3.2, "Electrical Data" is not only needed to ensure the device functions
correctly, but also to guarantee compliance with EMC guidelines (conducted emitted interference).
■ The equipment should be installed in an metal cabinet (shielding)
■ Supply lines, such as inputs and outputs to and from the device, should be as short as possible. If necessary they should be shielded
and twisted in pairs (to reduce the antennae-like effect for increasing the immunity to interference).

 5 Installation, operation and maintenance information

5.1 Information on setting

Note
These instructions apply to the target voltage range of 5V using internal stabilized voltage USt = 5 V. Bridges (jumpers) in
position as delivered (for other, conceivable bridge positions see Chapter 6.1, "Actuation of hydraulic valves using a proportion-
al solenoid").

Assembly of the amplifier module on the card holder see Chapter 5.4, " Assembly of the amplifier module on the card holder" .

Note
■ An external target value voltage feed must not be negative.
■ Negative voltage can lead to malfunctions and the destruction of the proportional amplifier.
■ If the maximum target value voltage of 5, 10 or 15 V DC depending on the bridge rectifier is exceeded, the set current Imax or
Imax op. becomes ineffective, i.e., it increases beyond the set limit value.

When connecting wires more than 3 metres in length use wires with leads twisted in pairs in order to minimise interference (and
therefore to enhace resistance to interference). Maximum coil voltage Imax set at the outlet may not in the long run exceed the Ilim limit
specied for the proportional solenoid, since otherwise the solenoid would be subjected to a thermal overload and might break down.
It is also possible to introduce solenoids for 12 V in the case of supply voltage with nominal value of 24 V DC of the proportional
amplifier. In this case, the supply voltage is converted through the timed output stage, automatically low-loss at a level of 12 V.
Advantages: in the entire range of the supply voltage (e.g. from 12 to 32 V DC) the proportional valve operates and the reaction times
of the solenoid become shorter; consequently the hydraulics become quicker.

Note
In the event of interference during the setting procedure or when commissioning, check mains supply.
■ In the case of rectied bridge configuration:
Check whether anelectrolyte lter capacitor of at least 2200 mF/A coil voltage is switched parallel to the supply voltage.
■ Is the supply voltage for the proportional amplifier sufcient?
Under load it should be at least approx. 2V DC higher than would be required to generate the maximum current set of Imax
oper with a warm solenoid coil without a proportional amplifier.

5.2 Setting instructions

F1 Fuse 2.5 A mT Precondition: The bridges of the amplifier module are provided as part of the delivery.
1. Amplifier connection:
V1 Control voltmeter for measuring the coil
current, 100 mV ≙ 0.5 A Connect the proportional solenoid to terminals 2 and 3. Connect voltmeter V1 to test
points TP1 and TP2 (to measure the coil (induction) current) . Connect the target value
potentiometer (7) to terminals 5, 6 and 7. Connect the supply voltage to terminals 4
and 8.
2. Set the target value potentiometer to minimum (0V).
3. Preset dither amplitude using potentiometer dither amplitude (1).
4. Set ramp times tup time and tdown time to minimum using potentiometer ramp up/down time
(2) + (3) (turn anticlockwise until it stops).
5. Turn on supply voltage.
6. Imin to the minimum current Imin op., to which, according to the Q-I or Δp-I characteristic
curve of the proportional valve, the desired bottom functional end position corresponds
in operation. Adjustable Imin range, see Chapter 3.2, "Electrical Data". To read Imin op.
voltmeter V1 positioned between test points TP1 and TP2 (current value see above).
7. Set target value potentiometer to max. Read target value voltage on the voltmeter V2
(approx. 5V).
8. Imax to the maximum current Imax op., to which, according to the Q-I or Δp-I characteris-
tic curve of the proportional valve, the desired top functional end position corresponds
in operation. Adjustable Imax range, see Chapter 3.2, "Electrical Data".
9. Dither frequency f is factory set to 60 Hz via the open bridge B3. In most circumstances
this is sufcient. By closing bridge B3 this can be increased to 120 Hz, which can be
more suitable for prop. valves of smaller construction. Set the target value potentiome-
ter to approx. 0.5 x Imax coil current. Set the dither amplitude (1) by turning the
potentiometer dither amplitude clockwise to the right until vibration can just be felt on
the proportional valve but does not interfere.
10. Set ramp times tup and tdown to the desired time spans. The ramp times always extend
beyond the overall range of the output current IA. For details of the shortened setting

5.3 Fast adjustment of ramp times

The ramp times are normally adjusted by trial-and-error. This is the simplest method of adjustment, but it is also very time consuming.
The relationship between ramp times and the rotary motions of the trimming potentiometer (25-turn) is not linear. The ramp times
can be adjusted accurately (*15%) using a digital voltmeter (minimum 100 kΩ/V input impedance) and in conjunct with the opposite
diagram (refer also to Chapter 4.1, "Amplifier module" und Chapter 5.2, "Setting instructions"):

1. Amplifier:
Set jumber B4 and connect supply voltage to terminals 4 and 8
2. Adjusting ramp rise time:
Connect TP5 with 5 V (terminal 7), connect voltmeter between TP6. and TP3 read the
required voltage for the ramp rise time from the diagram, set voltmeter to this value
using the potentiometer.
3. Adjusting the ramp fall time:
Connect TP5 with 0 V (terminal 5). Connect voltmeter between TP6 and TP4. Determine
the voltage for the required ramp fall time from the diagram and then set on the
voltmeter using the ramp fall time potentiometer.
4. Set ramp times tup time and tdown time to minimum (potentiometer ramp fall time/rise time
Figure 2: U voltage check voltmeter V1 (V), t
anticlockwise until it stops, for a multi-turn potentiometer this is 25 turns)
ramp time (s)
5. Remove jumper B4

Note
The proportional amplifier does not operate if bridge B4 is set!
