Power Amplifier for DC Valves

Series EW101

Installation Manual
Electronic module for the control of pilot operated
proportional directional valves with transducer. The
flow direction at the valve spool is set by the sign of
the set-value voltage. The spool stroke and its rate
of change is set by means of potentiometers. The
movement profile of the valve spool is controlled by
a closed loop feedback circuit in the module.
Features
Modulated valve-spool control by 4 selectable
set values, adjustable from 0 to 100% and UP/
DOWN ramp potentiometers.
DIP-switch from internal ramp generation to
external ramp setting.
Pulsed low loss amplifier power stage with
supporting constant current control for consistant temperature-independant solenoid forces.
Dither generator with applied frequency to improve static characteristics.
Diagnosis of spool stroke by means of diagnostic sockets as well as LEDs for indicating working conditions.

Installation Manual

INSTALLATION GUIDE TO ELECTRONIC MODULES

TO PROVISION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.
Power Supply
The utilized power supply has to comply with the EMC-standards (CE-sign, certificate of conformity).
Parker is offering the following power supplies:
EX00-N01
EX00-N04
EX00-N08

( 2.5 Amp.)
( 5.0 Amp.)
(10.0 Amp.)

Relais and solenoids operating from the same supply circuit than the valve electronics has to be fitted
by surge protection elements.

Wiring Cable
The wires between the installation site of the module and the peripheral units, as power supply, valve
solenoids, position transducer, command signal source has to be shielded. The following wire sizes
must be reached: power supply AWG 16, other connections AWG 20. The capacity should not exceed
a value of approx. 130 pF/m (wire/wire). The maximum cable length is 50m. No power current lines may
be placed within the wired shielded cables to the electronic module. The cable shield has to be
connected to ground at both ends (see also chapter Grounding). Please be aware of ground loops.

Connectors
The connection of the position transducer needs a sensor connector 4pin+E featuring metal case and
integrated cable shield coupling. Parker can provide suitable connectors:
5004108

(Connector 4pin+E)

The connectors has to be installed according the connection diagram, the cable shield has to be tied
on the whole periphery to the provided coupling clamp.

Installation
The module has to be mounted within a conductive, shielded enclosure. Usable is i.e. an EMC-approved
control cabinet. A perfect grounding of the enclosure is mandatory (see also chapter "Grounding").

Grounding
The mounting plate of the valve has to be connected to the grounded metal machine frame. The cable
shields must be tied to ground at the control cabinet. A low-ohmic potential compensation wire has to
be provided between the control cabinet and the machine frame (cable wire >AWG 7 cross section) to
prevent ground loops.
