Analog electronic AE drivers

integral-to-valve format, for proportional valves without transducer
AE execution included in this table is available only for running supplies or spare parts
For new applications it is suggested new AEB execution, see table GS115
AE
Analog integral drivers
supply and control
the current to the solenoid of Atos proportio-
nal valves without transducer, according to

the electronic reference input signal.
The solenoid  proportionally transforms the

  current into a force, acting on the valve

spool or poppet, against a reacting spring,
thus providing the valve’s hydraulic regula-
tion.
AE can drive one single or one double sole-
noid proportional valve.

Additional characteristics Short circuit protection of solenoid’s current supply; solenoid current control by P.I.D. with rapid solenoid switching

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) According to Directive EN2004/108/CE (Immunity: EN 50082-2; Emission: EN 50081-2)

Calibrations Remove the rear cover to access bias, scale, ramps and dither regulations

Recommended wiring cable (see 7 ) LiYCY shielded cables

Note: a minimum time of 60 ms to 160 ms have be considered between the driver energizing with the 24 VDC power supply and when the valve is ready
to operate. During this time the current to the valve coils is switched to zero

PIN SIGNAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS NOTES

B V0 Power supply 0 VDC for solenoid power stage and driver logic Gnd - power supply

AGND Ground - signal zero for MONITOR signal Gnd - analog signal
C
Enable (24 VDC) or disable (0 VDC) the driver (for /Q option)
ENABLE Input - on/off signal
With /Q option:ENABLE signal replaces AGND on pin C; MONITOR signal is reffered to pin B

D INPUT+ Reference analog differential input: ±10 VDC maximum range (4 ÷ 20 mA for /I option)
For single solenoid valves the reference input is 0 ÷ 10 VDC (4 ÷ 20 mA for /I option) Input - analog signal
E INPUT - For double solenoid valves the reference input is ±10 VDC (4 ÷ 20 mA for /I option)

Monitor analog output: ±5 VDC maximum range (1V monitor = 1A coil current)
For single solenoid valves: 0 ÷ 5 VDC referred to pin C (for /I option)
F MONITOR 0 ÷ 5 VDC referred to pin B (for /Q option) Output - analog signal
For double solenoid valves: ±5 VDC referred to pin C (for /I option)
±5 VDC referred to pin B (for /Q option)

G EARTH Internally connected to the driver housing

4 OPTIONS

Standard driver execution provides on the 7 pin main connector:

Power supply - 24 VDC must be appropriately stabilized or rectified and filtered; a 2,5 A safety fuse is required in series to the driver power supply.
Apply at least a 10000 mF/40 V capacitance to single phase rectifiers or a 4700 mF/40 V capacitance to three phase rectifiers

Reference input signal - analogue differential input with ±10 VDC nominal range (pin D,E), proportional to desired coil current

Monitor output signal - analog output signal proportional to the actual valve’s coil current (1V monitor = 1A coil current)

Atos drivers are CE marked according to the applicable directives (e.g. Immunity/Emission EMC Directive).
Installation, wirings and start-up procedures must be performed according to the general prescriptions shown in tech table F003.
The electrical signals of the valve (e.g. monitor signals) must not be directly used to activate safety functions, like to switch-ON/OFF the machine’s safety
components, as prescribed by the European standards (Safety requirements of fluid technology systems and components-hydraulics, EN-982)

Following options are available to adapt standard execution to special application requirements:

4.1 Option /I

It provides the 4 ÷ 20 mA current reference signal instead of the standard ±10 VDC; Monitor output signal is still the standard ±10 VDC.
It is normally used in case of long distance between the machine control unit and the valve or whenever the reference signal can be affected by electri-
cal noise; the valve functioning is disabled in case of reference signal cable breakage.

4.2 Option /Q
It provides the possibility to enable or disable the valve functioning without cutting the power supply (the valve functioning is disabled but the driver cur-
rent output stage is still active). To enable the driver supply a 24 VDC on the enable input signal.

4.3 Possible combined options: /IQ
