1.3 About proportional electrohydrauli cs

1.3.1 Electrohydraulics: hydraulics plus electronics
Atos is a leading manufacturer of electrohydraulic components & systems: the advanced technology that
integrates hydraulics and electronics to improve performances and flexibility of the modern machinery.

Electrohydraulic proportional controls modulate hydraulic parameters according to the electronic reference
signals; they are the ideal interface between hydraulic and electronic systems to perform fast, smooth and
accurate motions required by todays modern machines and plants.

Operating principle
The core of electrohydraulic controls is the proportional valve that modulates pressure or flow according to
the electronic input signal (standard: external analog signal 10 V
DC
).
The force of the solenoid is proportional to the reference signal, thus properly moving the spool against a
return spring to modulate hydraulic parameters
When electrical failure occurs, the spring
restores the neutral position according to the
valve configuration.
Proportional valves are available with
different neutral position to achieve the
required fail-safe configuration.
The wide range of Atos proportional valves is
available with or without integral feedback
transducer.
The sketch at side shows a proportional
directional valve with spool feedback
transducer.

1.3.2 Control loops

Open loop controls
Control is provided through the modulation of
current supplied to valve solenoid without the
effective result of the regulating loop being
verified.

R reference input
D digital driver
V proportional valve
M valves main stage
T valves transducer
L main stage transducer
O actuator
Closed loop controls
Feedback transducers continuously verify the
effective result of regulation thus the closed
loop control compensates environmental
disturbances.

1.3.3 Digital proportional controls
Atos offers today one of the most advanced lines of proportional valves which allow performances close to
servovalves still maintaining the typical benefits of proportional electrohydraulics: less sensitivity, low
filtration requirements, intrinsic stability, easier servicing and lower cost.
The wide range of Atos proportional electrohydraulics is available in different executions to match the
specific application requirements and to allow simple upgrade of machine performances:
ZO-A
Open loop proportional valves to control direction/flow, pressure or flow with
pressure compensation; separate electronic drivers are required.

ZO-AES
As ZO-A execution plus digital integral electronic driver, factory preset to
ensure fine functionality, valve-to-valve interchangeability and easier set-up.

ZO-TES; ZO-LES
Closed loop proportional valves to control direction/flow or flow with pressure
compensation.
Digital integral electronic driver (factory preset) and integral spool position
transducers (1 for ZO-TES, 2 for ZO-LES) assure valve-to-valve
interchangeability, easier set-up and high response dynamics.
SP/SF/SL options add pressure/force control with alternated control selection
logic.

ZO-TERS; ZO-AERS
Closed loop proportional valves to control maximum relieved or reduced
pressure.
Digital integral electronic driver (factory preset) and integral pressure
transducer (ZO-TERS) assure valve-to-valve interchangeability, easier set-up
and high response dynamics; valves with remote pressure transducer (ZO-
AERS) allow more precise regulation and application flexibility.

ZO-PES
Variable displacement pumps with digital integral electronic driver, control in
closed loop flow and pressure; a dedicated algorithm selects which control
(flow/pressure) is active time by time.
Digital integral electronic driver (factory preset) and integral pump
displacement/pressure transducers assure pump-to-pump interchangeability,
easier set-up and high response dynamics.
ZA-**
Ex-proof executions equipped with specific solenoids certified to ATEX
94/9/CE and IECEX, available with and without integral ex-proof driver and
transducer.

1.3.4 Digital electronic drivers

Atos electronics include analog or digital drivers both in separate or integral-to-valve format.
They supply proportional valve solenoid with current to align the valve regulation and the reference signal
thus obtaining an ideal interface between hydraulic and electronic systems of modern machine and plants.

Digital electronics add variable plus to
proportional electrohydraulics:

better performances: hysteresis, response
time, linearity
software setting of hydraulic parameters:
scale, bias, ramp, non-linearity
diagnostics and computer assisted
maintenance
high immunity to electromagnetic noise
easy interfacing to fieldbus systems

1.3.5 Fieldbus systems

Atos digital electronics allow to integrate hydraulic components into machines equipped with the digital
communication system commonly known as fieldbus( i.e. CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, etc).
Up to now the connection and the control of hydraulic valves were mainly done by point-to-point analog
connections with expensive wiring and starting-up costs.
Thanks to the fieldbus systems it is possible to interface reference, monitor and diagnostic signals with
proportional valves by means of cheap 2-wire cables.
Atos digital electronics is available as standard with Serial communication interface to a notebook or
desktop PC (driver with PS execution):

option BC allows integration into CANopen fieldbus systems
option BP allows integration into PROFIBUS DP fieldbus systems

1.3.6 Axis motion controllers
Atos digital axis motion controllers are the up to date solution for the motion control in modern machines
and systems: they can be easily configured and PC programmed to best manage position, speed or force
of any electrohydraulic axis, in closed-loop by a digital proportional.

They improve motion performances, simplify the automation architecture and may be interfaced to the
machine control unit via fieldbus network.

1.5.4 Electromagnetic compati bility

Atos electronic drivers and proportional valves have been tested according to EMC directives:
EN 61000-6-4 (Emission) and EN 61000-6-2 (Immunity)
The electromagnetic compatibility of the driver is valid only if wirings are realized according to the
recommended electric connections (refer also to sections 4 and 5).

Electromagnetic fields of machine environment may be different from test conditions: always verify
the device functionality once installed.

1.5.5 Electrostatic discharge protection

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components of the driver; to prevent damage observe
the following recommendations:
Discharge static voltage from your body before
handling the valve/driver
Work in a safe environment (do not use any device or
surface that can generate or hold static charge)
Avoid to touch any exposed pins or electronic
components

1.5.6 Repair and Troubleshooting

Repair and troubleshooting requires specialized skills: these activities must be performed only by Atos or
authorized service centers.
Please contact the Technical Sales Support of Atos Electronic Division (ele-support@atos.com) to receive
indications on how to proceed (please always indicate the driver code and serial number printed on drivers
label).

4 Valve Installation

4 Val ve Instal l ation

4.1 General prescriptions
The following instructions are general indications and procedures for the correct installation and
commissioning of proportional valves in modern electrohydraulic systems.

Hydraulic fluid
The hydraulic fluid is used to transmit power and to provide components lubrication in hydraulic systems.
To extend system reliability select high quality fluid with high viscosity index, with antifoaming and
antioxidant additives according to the international standards: DIN 51524 and 51535
Oil viscosity rating depends on the installed pumps/motors characteristics and on the working temperature.
Use lower viscosities with low system pressure to limit pressure drops and higher viscosities for high
system pressure to limit internal leakage:
High viscosities can cause air-emulsion in the oil and therefore cavitation and noise problems in
continuous operation; start-up problems may also at ambient temperature with pumps that require
viscosities higher than 290 365 cSt.
Low viscosities decreased system efficiency and affect the dynamic lubrication.
HLP mineral oil according to DIN 51524 - part 2 are recommended (viscosity range: 15 100 mm2/sec at
40C).
Oil must be periodically controlled and normally changed every 2000 hours (see Circuit cleaning, filling and
flushing)

Fluid temperature conditioning
A high-performance system must be properly conditioned to maintain the fluid temperature within specific
range (generically between 40 and 50C) thus obtaining a constant fluid viscosity during the operation.
The machine working cycle should start once the recommended temperature has been reached.
Fluid temperatures higher that 60C, require components with Viton seals (option /PE).
Fluid temperature must not exceed 80C.

Fluid filtration
An efficient fluid filtration prevents breakdowns of the system by protecting the components from solid
particle contamination that may affect hydraulic fluid. Cleanliness class must be equal or better than ISO
18/15, NAS 1632 class 9, by fitting in line filters of 10m and
10
=75.
In line pressure filters must be mounted, if possible, immediately before the proportional valve and should
be of high pressure type; clogging electrical indicator without by-pass valve are recommended.
Additional warnings have to be considered: make sure that the filters are properly sized to ensure
efficiency; one of the main sources of contamination is air exchange into the tank: proper breather filters on
the power unit tank have to be always provided; filter the fluid when filling the power unit tank (new fluids
are always contaminated) through filtration Group GL-15 or similar (see technical table S150 on
www.scoda.it).
During system working operation the frequent cleaning or replacing of filters cartridges are required.

Circuit cleaning, filling and flushing
Power unit tank has to be accurately cleaned before filling it by removing all the contaminants and any
extraneous object; piping has to be cold bended and pickled.
4 Valve Installation

Once assembled, an accurate washing of the whole circuit (flushing) has to be performed to eliminate the
contaminants:
replace proportional valves with appropriate by-pass plates or with on-off valves
by-pass the actuator user ports by means flexible pipes
shutoff the accumulators from the other parts of the circuit
replace filters cartridge after flushing procedures

Hydraulic connections
The flexible hoses on pressure line must be shielded and secured by using proper restrain devices to
prevent damages of machine, system and injuries to the operator.
The proportional valve must be installed as close as possible to the actuator to ensure the maximum
stiffness of the circuit and the best dynamic performances.

Hydraulic return and drains lines
Return lines must be connected to the tank with low counterpressures in order to not affect the components
regulation: return lines from proportional valve to tank must be properly sized to limit counterpressures to
max 5 bar.
High flow regulation may require drain connections to realize separate piping to the tank and to maintain
proper components functionality: external drain connection port is available as standard on servocylinders
rod side, piloted directional valves and pressure reducing valves (use option /Y valves when drain port is
not available as standard).

Pilot ing pressures
Standard configuration of piloted valves is with piloting line internally connected to line pressure.
use option /E valve with external pilot connection when line pressure is less than 30 bar
For directional control valve or throttle cartridge:
use option /G valve with integral pressure reducing valve when line pressure is greater than 100 bar

Air bleeds
The air in the hydraulic circuits affects the hydraulic stiffness and it causes malfunctioning: air bleeds are
provided for both proportional valves and servocylinders (cylinder rod side); in addition proper air bleed
valves should be also installed in the hydraulic system points where the air could remains trapped.

Additional warnings at first start-up or after maintenance of the system
Unscrew all the air bleeds to allow the complete removal of air
Untight piping connections
Use a check valve on the main return line to tank maintain to avoid the self emptying of the pipes
following a long service stop
4.2 Mounting
Once removed valve packaging take care to protect valve port, connectors and cables
Do not pull valve integral transducer cables
Removed valve ports plastic protection before mounting the valve into the system
Do not touch any electric components when handling the valve
Tighten valves to the manifold without exceeding the recommended max torque (see tab.T242-1)

5 Driver Electrical connections

5 Dri ver El ectrical connecti ons

5.1 General prescriptions

Switch-off power supply before any wirings operation
During the system start-up, check the immunity of the reference signals from interferences and electrical
noise
Use recommended cable size: at least 1 mm
2
for power supply and 0.14 mm
2
for other signals
It is recommended to use current signals options for distance longer than 20m (/I option for reference/
and monitor signals, and /C option for remote transducer signal)

Cable shielding and earthing

Use Shielded wirings to avoid electromagnetic noise: it is an essential part of the EMC protection from the
noises that could otherwise bring disturbance through the signal and power supply connections.
To avoid any interference, the driver cables must be separated from system power cables (connected to
transformers, electrical motors, drivers, etc.) and must be correctly shielded (see below scheme):
Connect cable shield at PLC/machine side and leave the other end (driver side) open to prevent ground
loops
If possible, connect shields to a protected earth (a noise-free connection with a different path from
safety earth and power supply ground); it is just designed to connect command signals ground, cables
shields and all other noise sensitive devices
If protected earth is not available, use the power supply ground
Verify that all the ground/earth points are equipotential otherwise position and dimension of the
connections must be checked
Earth connection of the drivers is available on the main connector; take care to the correct earthing also
the valve
In case of high noise levels, use additional shields and filters to allow the correct working of the
electronic driver


5.2 Main connection
Main connector is the driver interface to the machine control unit: wire to it the driver power supply and the
input/output signals (analog or on-off) for reference and diagnostic functions.

Standard 7pin Main Connector

PE EARTH Internally connected to driver housing


5.2.1 Power suppl y (pin A,B - pin 1,2)
The power supply +24 V
DC
(maximum range 20 32 V
DC
) must be appropriately stabilized or rectified and
filtered (maximum ripple 10% V
PP
) and must grant at least 50W for each connected driver:
apply at least a 10000 F/40 V capacitance near the driver in case of single phase rectifiers
apply at least a 4700 F/40 V capacitance near the driver in case of three phase rectifiers

2,5A safety fuse is required in series to each driver power supply.

A minimum time of 270 to 590 ms has to be considered between the driver energizing with the 24
V
DC
power supply and when the valve is ready to operate. During this time the current to the valve
coils is switched to zero.
5.2.2 Reference input signal (pin D,E - pin 4,5)
The driver is designed to receive one analog reference input (pin D,E differential mode input); the reference
is referred to the common mode signal zero (pin 5).
The inputs range and polarity are software selectable within the 10 V
DC
maximumrange; default setting is 0 10 V
DC
.
Option /I
The reference input signal is software selectable within 20 mA maximum range; default range is
4 20 mA and allows cable break detection (see 9 and 15.3).
Option /Z
The reference input signal is available in common mode (pin 4 referred to pin 5) instead of the standard
differential mode

Do not use power supply ground (V0) as reference for input signals: the absorbed current of the
drivers power stage can affect analog signal quality.

Small values of input range settings can be more affected by electrical noise.

Drivers with fieldbus interface (-BC or -BP) can be software set to receive reference values directly
by the machine control unit (fieldbus master).
In this case the analog reference input signals can be used for start-up and maintenance operations;
if not used always connect references to AGND (pin5).
5.2.3 Monitor output signal (pin F,C - pin 6,5)
The driver generates one analog output signal to monitor the actual pressure measured on the system by
the transducer integral to valve (TERS execution) or remote to valve (AERS execution); the monitor output
signal (pin F/6 referred to pin C/5) can be software set to show other signals available in the driver (e.g.
analog or fieldbus reference).
The output polarity is software selectable within 10 V
DC
maximum range (see 11.8).
Option /I
The maximum range of monitor output signal is 4 20 mA

Do not use power supply ground (V0) as reference for input signals: the absorbed current of the
drivers power stage can affect analog signal quality.
5.2.4 Enable input signal (pin 3,2) - onl y for /Z option
To enable the driver, supply a +24 V
DC
on pin 3 referred to pin 2: when the Enable signal is set to zero the
valve functioning is disabled but the driver current output stage is still active (see 15.4.2, to verify this
condition with the E-SW software). This condition is useful to maintain active the serial/fieldbus
communication and the other driver functions when the hydraulic regulation of the valve must be disabled.

5.2.5 Fault output (pin 11, 2) - onl y for /Z option
Fault output signal indicates fault conditions of the driver (solenoid short circuits/not connected, reference
signal cable broken for 4 20 mA input, valve pressure transducers cable broken, etc; fault presence
corresponds to 0 V
DC
, normal working corresponds to 24 V
DC
(pin 11 referred to pin2); see 15

Fault status is not affected by the status of the Enable input signal.
5.2.6 Double Power (pi n 9, 10) - onl y for /Z opti on
Separate power supply for the solenoid and for the digital electronic circuits (pin 9,10).
Cutting solenoid power supply (pin 1,2) allows to interrupt the valve functioning but keeping energized the
digital electronics thus avoiding fault conditions of the machine fieldbus controller.

Pin 2 and 10 (zero Volt) are connected together inside the electronics; see 9.1 for power supplies
requirements.
5.3 Remote transducer connection (AERS drivers)
Remote pressure transducer installed into the systems must be directly connected to AERS driver using
the dedicated M8 connector.
The input range and polarity are software selectable within the 10 V
DC
maximum range; default setting is
0 +10 V
DC
(see 11.2).

Option /C
The transducer input range is software selectable within 20 mA maximum range; default range is
4 20 mA and allows cable break detection (see 15.3).

Proper selection and installation of the remote transducer is essential to obtain the best
performances from pressure control system.

Small values of input range settings can be more affected by electrical noise.

Refer to technical table G465 for Atos E-ATR-7 pressure transducer characteristics.

PIN standard version /C option (Ri = 316 )
1 TR1 remote transducer signal (0 +10 VDC) TR1 remote transducer signal (4 20 mA)
2 AGND signal zero for power supply and signal NC reserved (do not connect)
3 VT remote transducer power supply +24 VDC VT remote transducer power supply +24 VDC
4 TR2 2nd remote transducer (0 +10 VDC) - only for /SF option NC reserved (do not connect)
See table G465 for the pressure transducer characteristics and connections


5.4 Communication connection
Proper communication cables and USB adapter (see 1.4.4) must be used to connect the driver to the PC
where E-SW software is installed (see QUICKSTART-** manuals for installation details).

5.4.1 Fieldbus communication connector
When the driver is connected to the main machine fieldbus network (see 1.3.5), always verify proper
wirings as described by the relevant standardization (see E-MAN-BC or E-MAN-BP manuals for further
details).

No master device must be active in a PROFIBUS DP fieldbus when using E-SW software to
communicated with connected valve/drivers.

5.4.2 Hardware Node assignment
Driver node, unique identification in the fieldbus, can be set manually using a dip switch.
Remove the driver rear cover positioned on the programming connector side and set the node number
using the dip switch (binary coded).

Switch Switch on value Default

For BC use node settings between 1 and 127
For BP use node settings between 1 and 125 (avoid node 1 that is normally used by the master)

6 Driver parameters operation

6 Dri ver parameters operation

To operate correctly E-RI-TER(AER)S drivers with the E-SW-** programming software you must always
consider how the driver and the software parameters are managed:

6.1 Parameters operation scheme
Driver Store operations (see 6.2.3):
1) Store User Parameters

Driver Restore operations (see 6.2.4):
2) Restore User Parameters
3) Restore Preset Parameters

Passing from OFF-LINE to ON-LINE (see 6.3.1) :
4) Upload Parameters
5) Download Parameters

PC Setting File operations (see 12) :
6) Save setting file
7) Load setting file

6.2 Driver parameters
Two types of parameters are present into the driver (permanent and non-permanent) and store/restore
operations allow to define how they must be used:

6.2.1 Actual Parameters (non-per manent memory)
The driver functionality and regulation depend on its Actual Parametersthat:
are automatically loaded at each power-on from the permanent memory of the driver
are lost when the driver is turned-off (non-permanent parameters)
can be displayed and modified using the E-SW software

6.2.2 Driver Preset/User/Emergency Parameters (per manent memor y)
When the driver is turned-on, one of the following parameter sets is copied from this section to the Actual
Parameters (non-permanent memory) to define the driver functionalities:

Preset
This parameters set allows to start-up the driver with the factory setting
defined by Atos
User
This parameters set allows to start-up of the driver with the customized
values defined and stored by the user using E-SW software (as default
User Parameters and Preset Parameters are the same)
Emergency
This parameters set allow to start-up the driver when Preset Parameters
and User Parameters contain corrupted data

If permanent memory is corrupted, the driver try to load alternative set:
Preset are loaded automatically in case of invalid User parameters
Emergency are loaded automatically in case of invalid Preset parameters

When invalid parameters are detected at power-on or driver restart (see 9.3.4) the driver goes into
Fault condition; please contact Atos Technical Sales Support ele-support@atos.com.

6.2.3 Store Driver Parameters
Store User
This operation allows to store the driver Actual Parameters (non-
permanent) into the User Parameters (permanent) set;

At power-on the drive will automatically load the User Parameter settings

During the store/restore operations of the driver permanent memory:
- power supply must be not turned off (driver parameter lose may occur) and the driver must be
disabled or in hydraulic null regulation
- current to valve solenoid is switched off, is best to operate store/restore with no active valve
regulation in the system

6.2.4 Restore Driver Parameters
Two operations are available to select which parameters set has to be loaded into Actual parameters at
the next driver power-on:
Restore Preset
Preset Parameterswill be load at next driver power-on
Restore User
User Parameters will be load at next driver power-on

During the restoring operations of the driver permanent memory: power supply must be not turned-off
(driver parameter lose may occur) and the driver must be disabled or in null hydraulic regulation

6.3 E-SW parameters

6.3.1 E-SW Actual Parameters (non-permanent memory)
The Actual Parameters of E-SW programming software is the set of parameters displayed in the software
graphic interface.

The Actual Parameters values, depend on the communication status between the software and the driver:
ON-LINE
(communication active)
Actual Parameters of both software and driver are linked (every
change in the software is applied in the driver and vice versa)
OFF-LINE
(communication not active)
Actual Parameters of the software are not linked to the driver (they
can be changed but this is not applied to the driver)


When passing from off-line to on-line mode, it is possible to select which Actual Parameters have to be
maintained between the software and the driver:
Upload
Actual Parameters of the driver are maintained and are copied into
the software
Download
Actual Parameters of the software are maintained and are copied
into the driver

To perform Download operation the Actual Parameters of the driver and the software must be
compatible: if Driver Code parameter (see 10.2) is not the same a message will display an error
condition.

During Download operation the valve/driver goes into a Disable state; after it check if the
downloaded parameter are valid. If the parameter are invalid the driver remain in Disable state and
return Invalid Download error (see 9.2.3).

6.3.2 E-SW Setting Files (permanent memory)

E-SW and driver Actual Parameterscan be stored or restored from the PC hard-disk as a Setting File
(see 12): in any time it will be possible to restore these data into the Actual Parameter of the software and
of the driver.

Setting File can be used efficiently as a starting point when executing repetitive installation of the
same driver.
7 Software Graphic Interface

7 Software Graphi c Interface
E-SW-** software allows to verify, modify and store/restore the parameters of E-RI-TER(AER)S drivers.
The software can work directly with the parameters of a connected driver (ON-Line mode) or with

7.4 Error parameters
The Atos software implements an errors detection system in order to identify missing parameters or
eventual communication errors.

7.4.1 Missing parameters (OFF-LINE mode)

If corrupted file or an incomplete settings file (see 12.2) with missing
parameters is loaded, the indicator shows a missing parameter value.

Write the missing value into the indicator and save the Setting File on the PC hard disk.

The symbol is displayed for missing parameters errors.

If a Setting File missing parameter values is downloaded into the driver, the missing parameter it will
overwrite by the values present into the driver.

External Analog input signal (default selection) is used as reference signal; see 11.1 to
modify the default input signal range

Internal Reference signal value is directly set by E-SW software (see 9.1.2); use this
setting to simply tuning or maintenance operations, and to evaluate the effect of
noise level on the analog reference signal.
Fieldbus Reference signal value is set by machine central unit using the fieldbus
communication (this selection is available only for BC and BP driver executions)


9.1.2 Reference Actual
The indicator

allows the user to read the value of the reference signal
that actually selected (see 9.1.1):

Min -100%
Max 100%

External: the numerical value is in % of the maximum valve regulation and corresponds to the external
analog reference signal as defined by the range setting of the analog input signal (see 11.1)

Internal: the indicator becomes a control and allows to set the desired % of valve regulation

Whenever the driver power supply is switched off, the internal reference value is reset to 0%

Fieldbus: the numerical value is in % of the maximum valve regulation

9.1.3 Reference Demanded
The indicator

allows the user to verify the % of the demanded valve
regulation once the actual reference signal has been elaborated by
Bias/Scale (see 11.3 and 11.4), Ramps (see 11.5) and Linearization
functions (see 11.6).

Min -100%
Max 100%

9.1.4 Feedback
The indicator

allows the user to verify the % of the real valve
regulation as readout by the relevant integral/remote transducer.

Min 0%
Max 200%

Feedback values exceeding +100% can be displayed during dynamic conditions; in static working
conditions, reference and feedback must correspond

9.1.5 PID Out
This indicator

allows the user to verify the % output of the closed loop
control action.

Min -200%
Max 200%

Control actions that reach the maximum/minimum output limits (see 11.7), are possible indication of
anomalous working conditions (see 9.2.1).


9.2 Driver status and warnings

This part of the Diagnostic area shows the actual valve/driver working conditions:

9.2.1 Driver status

The indicator

displays in which status the driver is controlling the valve:

Active the driver is working normally
Disable the driver is disabled and no current is supplied to the solenoid.

Use enable pin (see 5.2.4) or fieldbus communication (see 11.12) to
enable/disable the driver
Fault The driver is disabled due to the presence of fault conditions; no current is
supplied to the solenoid

To identify and solve the fault conditions use the Last Error description (see 9.2.1) or the more
detailed information of the Extended Diagnostic window (see 15).

9.2.2 Alar m

The indicator

allows the user to verify the presence of alarm conditions that has to be verified.

Alarm conditions always correspond also to the presence of a 0V on the digital output fault pin of the
main connector (see 5.2.5)

To identify and solve the alarm conditions use the Last Error description or the more detailed
information of the Extended Diagnostic window (see 15).
As default the driver automatically returns to Active state when no error is present (see 15.3.1 Fault
Acknowledge)


9.2.3 Last Error

The indicator

allows the user to identify which is the last fault/alarm condition that has occurred and
indicator to verify if the error is still present.

In case of multiple fault/alarm conditions, the worst condition is displayed first (following list -
descending order); when driver is restarted (see 9.3.4) or power off/on Last Error is set to No Error.

Error reactions within brackets are software settable (see 11.9)

Error Reaction Cause/Troubleshooting
Invalid parameters Fault status +Alarm Requested parameters are not valid (see 9.3)
Invalid Download Fault status +Alarm Downloaded parameter are not valid (see 6.3)
restart the driver to reset fault, without making
any store operation. If a store operation has
been perform, use restore preset function.
Electronics High Temp (Fault status) +Alarm Internal temperature too high, verify correct
installation and working conditions (ambient
and fluid temperature)
Pressure reference Fault status +Alarm Pressure(Force) analog input signal exceeds
admissible range: verify the correct wirings and
voltage/current signal (see 11.1 to verify
admissible range settings high/low limits)
Pressure transducer Fault status +Alarm Pressure(Force) signal from remote
transducers exceeds admissible range: verify
the correct wirings and voltage/current signal
(see 11.2 to verify admissible range settings
high/low limits)
Pressure control (Fault status) +(Alarm) Monitoring function of pressure(force) closed
loop has detected anomalous conditions (see
15.3): verify pressure regulation settings,
remote transducer offset (see 11.2) or P and T
line pressure values
Electronics Low Temp (Fault status) +Alarm Internal temperature too low, verify correct
installation and working conditions (ambient
temperature)

9.3 Driver Memories
This part of the Diagnostic area allow the user to verify/set which of the permanent parameter set stored
into the driver memory has been loaded at power-on into driver Actual Parameters (see 6).

9.3.1 Requested
The indicator allows the user to verify which parameter set will be loaded at next power-on: use
store/restore operations (see 9.3.3 and 15.5.3) to change these settings.

9.3.2 Loaded
The indicator allows the user to verify which parameter set has been loaded at last power-on.

If Requested and Loaded indicators contain different value after power-on, Last error displays
Invalid parameters message and the driver is disabled (see 9.2.3):

[Loaded =Preset and Requested =User] Atos factory parameters have been loaded and
User contains invalid data.

[Loaded =Emergency and Requested =User or Preset] both driver parameters contain
invalid parameters, please contact Atos service for troubleshooting
9.3.3 Store User Parameters
This button allows the user to store the driver Actual parameters into the User parameters
permanent memory (see 6.1).

During parameters storing operations, power supply to the valve solenoid is switched-off: do not use
this function during system normal working.

Never switch-off the drivers power supply during storing operations: permanent parameters stored
into the driver may result invalid!

9.3.4 Driver Restart
This button allows the user to obtain the same effect of switching off/on the driver power supply: digital
electronic is restarted and Requested parameter set is loaded.

During driver restart operations, power supply to the valve solenoid is switched-off: do not use this
function during system normal working.

11.1 Pressure - Reference

Function Description

Analog Input Range
Reference Analog input signals are the typical interface between
the valve/driver and the machine control unit; two functions are
available to adapt the standard driver behavior to specific
application requirements:

selection of the analog input range that correspond to the
nominal regulation of the valve (refer to the valves technical
table)

selection of the admissible range for the analog input signal
(high/low limits)

Typical use of analog input range verification is to detect cable break or wiring problems on the main
connector (in these cases zero signal value must not be in the admissible range, e.g. 4 20mA)

Dither
Hysteresis in the desired system response (e.g. motion of hydraulic actuator with relevant static friction
effects) can be reduced thanks to a slight vibration in valve regulation that is acting the system: dither
function adds a high frequency pulse wave to the valve reference signal thus obtaining the required
vibration.
To avoid instability at high valve regulation (e.g. axis speed), it is possible to smooth the dither wave
amplitude by setting the reference range in which the dither effect will act.

With this function basic valve operations can be performed without requiring external/internal/fieldbus
reference to simplify tuning or maintenance operations (in these cases the dither function behaves
like a signal generator internal to the driver).

Parameter Description (Analog Input Range)

Max input/Zero input/ Min input
These indicators allow the user to verify the actual setting of analog input range:
Max input corresponds to 100% of the valve regulation
Zero input corresponds to 0% of the valve regulation
Min input corresponds to -100% of the valve regulation

Min input indication is not available with 2 position flow hydraulic configuration and Pressure
hydraulic configuration (see 10.4): in these cases the actual/demanded reference values are limited
to 0 100%
Scale [level 2]
The control allows to set the analog input range that
corresponds to 0 100% external analog actual reference.

Standard /I Option
Min 1.0 V 1 mA
Max 10.0 V 20 mA
Default 10.0 V 16 mA

Scale value =( Max input Zero input ) desired analog input values

Small setting for analog input signals range are more affected by noise presence and can reduce the
valve regulation precision

Offset [level 2]
The control allows to set the analog input value that
corresponds to 0% reference value.

Standard /I Option
Min -10000 mV -20 mA
Max 10000 mV 20 mA
Default 0 mV -4 mA

Offset value = ( Zero input ) desired analog input value.

High/Low Limit [ level 2]
The controls
and
allow to set the admissible range for
the analog input signal on the main connector: values that
exceed the admissible range will result in a fault condition
and will disable the valve (see 15.3.2).

Standard /I Option
Min -12.5 V -25 mA
Max 12.5 V 25 mA
Default Min -11.0 V 2 mA
Default Max 11.0 V 22 mA

These settings are used with 4 20 mA analog reference inputs to identify cable breakage
condition and to disable the driver and the proportional valve

Error Reaction
The controls

allow to set which reaction must be performed when error conditions are detected
(pressure reference exceed the high/low limits).

option 1 [ No Reaction ]
No verification is performed as default setting
option 2 - [ Error +Alarm ]
When error conditions are detected, the relevant Error and Alarm indicators are lit-on in the Diagnostic
Area (see 9) and in the Extended Diagnostic Window (see 15).

With /Z option the Fault digital output, pin 11 on the main connector, is set to 0V (see 5.2.5).

option 3 [ Error +Alarm +Driver Fault status ]
Besides the actions of option 2, also the driver status is forced to FAULT and the current to valve solenoid
is switched-off.

Wizard [level 2]
The button allows to access the simplified for parameters procedure configuration (see 11.13).


Parameter Description (Dither)

Type [level 2]
The control allows to set the waveform type of the dither signal added
to the reference actual signal thus obtain different effect: rough (square
type), medium (triangular type) or smooth (sine type).
The best setting depends on the specific hydraulic system to be
controlled.

option1 No Dither
option2 Square
option3 Triangular
option4 Sine
Default No Dither

Amplitude [level 2]
The control allows to set the dither waveform amplitude: greater value
produce higher dither effects but may cause undesired system vibrations.
The best setting depends on the specific hydraulic system to be
controlled.

Min 0%
Max 100%
Default 2%

Frequency [level 2]
The control allows to set the dither waveform frequency: smaller
value produce higher dither effects but may cause undesired system
vibrations; the best setting depends on the specific hydraulic system to
be controlled.

Min 1Hz
Max 180Hz
Default 100Hz

To avoid instability at high valve regulation (e.g. axis speed), it is possible to smooth the dither wave
amplitude: this attenuation start from the selected dither amplitude and reach zero amplitude.


Reference for Start Attenuation [level 2]
The control allows to set at which reference signal the dither
amplitude attenuation has to start.

Min 0%
Max 99%
Default 90%

Reference for Stop Attenuation [level 2]
The control allows to set at which reference signal the dither
amplitude attenuation has to stop (Stop value must be always greater
than the Start value).

Min 1%
Max 100%
Default 100%

These settings are symmetrical for positive and negative reference signal: attenuation for negative
reference values starts and stops at the same value of positive ones.


11.2 Pressure - Feedback (AERS drivers) [level 2]

The driver must be connected to remote transducers
installed into the system to perform pressure control.
Two functions are available to adapt the driver behavior to
specific transducer and to the application requirements:

definition of the analog input range that correspond to
the nominal regulation of the valve

definition of the admissible range for the analog input
signal (high/low limits)

Parameter Description
Parameters are the same available for the analog input range of reference signals (see 11.1 for the
complete parameter description).

Proper setting of these parameters is required to fix the nominal pressure (force) regulation of the
valve.

Analog input range of pressure feedback influences the dynamic response of the pressure closed
loop control: define the correct input range before any other setting operation.

Wizard [level 2]
The button allows to access the simplified for parameters procedure configuration (see 11.13).


Scale Setting
Scale pressure setting allows to define the Max_Force in a cylinder that
correspond to 100% regulation; proper scaling of the pressure
transducer must consider system characteristics:

PRESS

Transd Max
MIN Transd MAX Transd

11.3 Pressure(Force) - Regulation - Bias


Bias
Proportional valves that perform pressure control may be limited in
the minimum pressure regulation.
When reference signal requires a pressure that is lower than
minimum regulation, closed loop performances may be reduced
and fault condition may occur (see 15.3.4).
These effects can be avoided by activating the Bias function with
Bias Compensation Type set to Flat.

Minimum pressure regulation depends on the valve T port pressure and on flow volume that passes
through the valve (refers to the specific valves technical table)

Threshold
The Bias preset value is added only when the reference signal overcome the Threshold value, preset into
the driver.
Threshold setting is useful to avoid undesired valve regulation at zero reference signals when electric noise
is present on the analog input signal: smaller threshold reduces the reference signal dead band (greater
values are less affected by electric noise presence).

Atos proportional valves with integral driver are factory set during the automated production tests;
fine tuning may be required depending on the final system setup.

Example - Bias, Threshold and Scale effect


Parameters Description

Bias Compensation Type
The control

allows to set different behavior of the Bias function when reference signal goes from zero to
Threshold value.
Possible selections are:

No Compensation
Bias is not used: valve spool position linearly increases starting from 0%
to max valve regulation (see 11.4) with reference signal from 0% to 100%

Use if dead band compensation is already present in the machine
control unit.

Step Compensation (Default)
Valve spool position is zero for reference signal from 0% to Threshold
value and then linearly increases from Bias to max valve regulation (with
reference signal from Threshold to 100%).

Use this setting when a stable null hydraulic regulation is required
with 0% reference signal (e.g. when the valve is installed in open
loop system).

Linear Compensation
Valve spool position linearly increases from zero to Bias with reference
signal from 0% to Threshold and then linearly increases from Bias to max
valve regulation (with reference signal from Threshold to 100%).


Flat Compensation
Valve spool position is equal to Bias with reference signal from 0% to
threshold and then linearly increases from Bias to max valve regulation
(with reference signal from Threshold to 100%).

Use this setting when a minimum regulation greater than zero is
required.

Bias
The control

allow to set the valve spool position values supplied by
the driver when the reference input is at the positive/negative Threshold
value.

Min 0%
Max 60%
Default
valve model
dependant

Atos proportional valves with integral driver are factory set during the automated production tests;
fine tuning may be required depending on the final system setup.

To regulate the Bias value in the final working conditions:
supply a reference signal corresponding to the threshold value (internal reference should be
used - see 9.1.1)
increase the Bias adjustment until a variation in the valve regulation is obtained, then
gradually reduce the Bias adjustment till the variation in the valve regulation stops (null or
minimum regulation is obtained)

Threshold

The control allows to set the input reference value (positive
and negative) at which the Bias function switch the regulation
characteristic (see Bias Compensation Type parameter).

Standard /I Option
Min 0 mV 0%
Max 3000 mV 30%
Default 200 mV 2%

Set Threshold to the minimum value when using Reference Fieldbus signal (see 9.1.1): only analog
reference signals are affected by noise


11.4 Pressure - Regulation - Scale


The Scale function allows to set the maximum valve regulation at
maximum reference signal values.
These regulations are useful to reduce the maximum valve regulation
in front of maximum reference signal to adapt the valve regulation to
the system requirements.

Pressure maximum regulations also depends on the
feedback settings (see 11.2) and on the installed remote
transducers that define the pressure/force value that
corresponds to 100%.

Parameters Description

Positive Scale
The control

allows to set the maximum positive valve regulation at max
reference positive value (100%).

Min 0,0%
Max 100,0%
Default 100,0%

Scales values are factory set to 100% and can be regulated according to real working conditions:
supply a reference signal corresponding to 100%
decrease the Scale adjustment until the controlled valve regulation gradually reach the
desired maximum regulation



In many applications it is recommended to adjust Scale settings while the system is working; in these
applications always remember to start with low Scale values (slow movements)

These regulations can be set by writing a numeric value in the proper controls or by positioning the
mouse-arrow on the desired point and by dragging it on the graph:

Mechanical adjustment

Always adjust mechanical pressure limiter before any other driver
electronic setting:
supply a reference signal of 10V (20 mA for /I option)
adjust the R screw (see sketch at side), factory preset to
zero, turning clockwise until the maximum allowed pressure
on the hydraulic circuit is reached (safety mechanical
adjustment)
fix the desired regulation by the locking nut (ref. CH.11)

The maximum pressure allowed on the hydraulic circuit must be
higher than the valve maximum regulated pressure (scale setting), in
order to not affect the proportional regulation; if maximum
mechanical pressure is grater than valve nominal pressure grants at
sufficient clockwise regulation (pressure will remain at nominal
pressure).


11.5 Pressure - Ramps

Ramps allow the user to convert sudden change of
electronic reference signal into smooth time-dependent
increasing/decreasing of the valve regulation.
This function is useful for application where smooth
hydraulic actuation is necessary to avoid machine
vibration and shocks.
If the proportional valve is driven by a closed loop
controller, the ramps can lead to unstable behavior; for
these applications ramp function can be software
disabled (default setting).


Ramps Type
The control allows to set different behavior of the Ramp function. Possible selections are:

No Ramp (Default)
The step change of the input reference produces a step change of
the valve regulation.
Use this setting when no smoothing function is required or when the
driver is driven by a closed loop controller.


Single Ramp
The same ramp time (Ramp Time 1 ) is used for increasing
(acceleration) and decreasing (deceleration) signals.
Use this setting to simplify tuning operation when the same
smoothing function is required.

Double Ramp
Different ramp times are used for increasing (Ramp Time 1 ) and
decreasing (Ramp Time 2 ) signals.

Ramps duration will depend on specific reference variation

Ramp Time 1
The control

allows to set the increasing time from 0% to 100% valve
regulation with a 0% to 100% reference step variation

Min 0.001 s
Max 40 s
Default 0.001 s

Ramp Time 2
This control

allows to set the decreasing time from 100% to 0% valve
regulation with a 100% to 0% reference step variation

Min 0.001 s
Max 40 s
Default 0.001 s


11.6 Pressure - Linearization [level 2]

Linearization function allows to modify the relation between
the reference input signal and the controlled valve regulation.
Linearization is useful for applications where it is required to
linearize the valves regulation in a defined working condition.
The hydraulic regulation characteristic of the valve can be
linearized by setting points pairs (Reference, Regulation),
which respectively corresponds to electronic reference input
signal and desired valve regulation.


Linearization
The control allows to enable or disable (default setting) the
Linearization function.

option1 Linearization ON
option2 Linearization OFF
Default Linearization OFF


Reference
The controls

allow to set the 3 reference input values where
the Regulation settings

are applied to obtain the linearization.

Min 0.0%
Max 100.0%
Default [25.0 / 50.0 / 75.0%]
Regulation
The controls

allow to set the current values of linearization
curve as a percentage of the Max Regulation defined with the
scale function (see 11.4).

Min 0.0%
Max 100.0%
Default [25.0 / 50.0 / 75.0%]

These regulations can be set by writing a numeric controls or by positioning the mouse-arrow on the
desired point and by dragging it on the graph:

Example - Linearization effect


11.7 Pressure - PID [level 2]

Response time, precision and stability of the valve regulations depend on the valve working conditions and
on the closed loop control (PID) parameters.
PID parameters are defined by Atos R&D test and are factory set during automated production: default
settings can be reduced or increased when specific requirements arise during start-up operations.

Pressure control is affected by the regulated flow and by the fluid volume that must be pressurized
if default settings must be modified too much, please contact Atos Technical Support

Depending on Atos default setting some control action may be not available


Proportional Factor
The control

allows to set the proportional part of the closed loop control
as percentage of the default setting.

Min 0,0%
Max 200,0%
Default 100,0%

PID proportional part is specific for immediate handling of control error (difference between
demanded and feedback values): greater settings increase valves reactivity and precision but
decrease stability.


Integral Factor
The control

allows to set integral part of the closed loop control as
percentage of the default setting.

Min 0,0%
Max 200,0%
Default 100,0%

PID integral part is specific for zeroing the control error with constant reference signal: greater
settings increase valves precision in static conditions but decrease stability.

Derivative Factor
The control

allows to set derivative part of the closed loop control as
percentage of the default setting.

Min 0,0%
Max 200,0%
Default 100,0%

PID derivative part is specific for reducing valve regulation overshoot with fast reference variation:
greater settings reduce valves overshoot in dynamic conditions but decrease stability.


11.8 Others Monitor Output
The driver generates one analog output signal, available on the main connector (see 5.2.3): as default this
signal allows to monitor the actual system pressure measured by the pressure transducer; monitor outputs
setting allow to select which of the other signals available into the driver should be generated as output
(e.g. analog and fieldbus reference, pressure demanded).


Output Signal
The control

allow to set which signals have to be generated on the analog output of the driver main
connector (see 9 for the detailed signal descriptions).

option 1 Pressure Demanded [level 2]
option 2 Pressure Feedback Default
option 3 Pressure Demanded Reached [level 2]
option 4 Pressure Actual Reference (Internal) [level 2]
option 5 Pressure Actual Reference (Fieldbus) [level 2 only BC/BP]

Pressure Demanded Reached is a true/false condition: a true condition will generate a +10V signal
(20 mA for /I option) and false condition will generate 0V (4mA for /I option)

11.9 Others Diagnostics [level 2]

Besides the verification that all analog input remain within fixed limit settings (see 11.1 reference and 11.2
feedback settings), the drives can perform other function useful to check the correct valve working
conditions and to help troubleshooting operations.

Pressure(Force) Demanded Reached
This function continuously verifies if the Pressure Demanded value has been reached or not: to check the
actual working condition use the Extended Diagnostic Window (see 15) or the Monitor analog output (see
11.8).

Working Limit Exceeded
These functions continuously verify if the internal electronic temperature and the closed loop controls
exceed the normal working conditions.
When these functions detect error conditions, it is also possible to disable the valve regulation (see 11.9);
this option is useful to preserve the valve integrity and to help troubleshooting operations.

Parameter Description ( Pressure Demanded Reached )


Maximum Pressure Tolerance
The control

allows to set the maximum pressure tolerance between
demanded and feedback values, that is required to detect the demanded
reached condition ( -tolerance <demandedfeedback <+tolerance)

No verification is performed as default setting

option 2 - [ Error +Alarm ]
When error conditions are detected, the relevant Error and Alarm indicators are lit-on in the Diagnostic
Area (see 9) and in the Extended Diagnostic Window (see 15).

Fault digital output, pin 11 on the main connector, is set to 0V (see 5.2.5).

option 3 [ Error +Alarm +Driver Fault status ]
Besides the actions of option 2, also the driver status is forced to FAULT and the current to valve solenoid
is switched-off.

This option can operate correctly only if Fault Acknowledge is set to Manual: user must check and
solve verify the error condition before the driver can re-activate (see 15.3.1).

Reaction Delay Time (only for Control Limit Errors)
The control

switch-on the control error conditions (see 15.3.4).

Min 5ms
Max 10000ms
Default 100ms

This setting is useful to avoid that error conditions when the control limit are exceeds during
dynamic condition

Error Reaction (only for Temperature Limit Error)
The controls

allow to set which reaction must be performed when error conditions are detected
(temperature exceeds the high/low limits).

Temperature error conditions are always detected and the relevant Error and Alarm indicators are lit-on in
the Diagnostic Area (see 9) and in the Extended Diagnostic Windows (see 15.3.5).

Fault digital output, pin 9 on the main connector, is set to 0V (see 5.2.5).

option 2 - [ Driver Fault Status (HTemp) ]
Besides the actions of option 1, also the driver status is forced to FAULT when the temperature exceeds

Default
Low -20C
High +80C


11.10 Others Fi lter [level 2]


Filter function allows to reduce the effect of disturbances on analog input (reference and feedback) signals.
noise modify the relation between the reference input signal and the controlled valve regulation.

These filter are realized digitally and can not suppress high frequency disturbances (high frequency
disturbances once digitalized produces error on both low and medium frequency)

When used on reference signal these filters can reduce valve response to the main machine control
unit commands


Filtered Signal
The control

allows to set how the driver elaborate the two
reference signals for alternated control operation.

option1 None
option2 Pressure Reference
Default None

Low Pass 1st Order
The controls

allow to activate a 1st order low pass digital filtering and
controls

allows to set the cut-off frequency of the filter.

Min 5Hz
Max 1000Hz
Default 10Hz

Moving Average
The controls

allow to activate a moving average digital filtering (filtered signal =mean of 8 samples at
6KHz sampling time)

Select at least one filter type to activate digital filter

When both filter type are selected, the low pass filter is applied first

With the same selection on Filtered Signal, both filter1 and filter2 are applied (filter1 is applied first)

Dither function (see 11.1) is added to reference signals only once the digital filter is applied


11.11 Fieldbus (BC/BP) - Driver communication
With fieldbus systems several components are connected each other and communication is established
among them to exchange parameters and reference/feedback signals.
Exchange of these data is possible once a common communication speed is defined and if each connected
component posses a unique identification (Node number).
Dedicated procedures are available to set these communication parameters:
manually (dip-switch see 5.4.2)
using the machine central unit (master) (see E-MAN-S-BC for CANopen LSS procedure or E-MAN-S-
BP for PROFIBUS DP SAP55 procedure)
via E-SW-**(/S) software (see QUICKSTART-** instruction manual for further details).

By default the valves/drivers in BP execution are delivered with node 126 as service node.
The E-SW-BP(/S) can not communicate with valve/driver with address 126, refer E-MAN-S-BP.
Also E-SW software, in ON-LINE mode, can be used to set these communication parameters.

Driver Node
The control

allows to set the unique driver identification
into the fieldbus.
BC BP
Min 1 1
Max 127 125
Default 1 126

Driver Node cannot be modified via software when using manual setting by dip-switch (see 5.4.2)

Use Store Communication button (see 9.3.3) to save the new Node into the driver permanent
parameters: new node will be applied at the next driver power-on (with CANopen switch-off the driver
only when other connected component have been set to different node values)

Update E-SW configuration (see 13.2) before reconnecting the driver

Driver Speed
The control

allow to set the driver communication speed.

For BP drivers, communication speed is determined by software
setting (see 5.4.2) or by the master.

Use Store Communication button (see 9.3.3) to save the
new Node into the driver permanent parameters: new speed will
be applied at the next driver power-on (switch-off the driver only
when other connected component have been set to the same
speed)

Update E-SW configuration (see 13.2) before re-connect the
driver
BC drivers speed
option1 50 Kbit/sec
option2 125 Kbit/sec
Default 50 Kbit/sec

Store Communication
This button

allow to store the driver communication parameters.

For BC drivers is also saved the PDO mapping configuration.

Restore Communication
This button

allow to restore the last set of communication parameters stored into the driver.

These communication parameters will be loaded automatically at the next power-on of the
driver.

For BP drivers this function is not available.


11.12 Fieldbus - State Machine [level 2]

As default driver status depends only on enable on/off input and detected error conditions (see 9.2.1).
When using fieldbus communication the machine central unit (master) can be used to achieve complete
control on the driver status conditions.


Status control
The control

allows to activate remote control of the driver
status from fieldbus master.
Local control means, the driver control the state machine by itself
according to the control mechanism.
Remote control means, the driver control the state machine
through the fieldbus master (BC/BP) or E-SW software.

option1 Local control
option2 Remote control
Default Local control

When status control is set to Remote Control use arrow buttons to modify the driver status when
fieldbus master is not active.
Init/Disable/Hold/Fault status switch-off current supply to valve solenoid

15 Extended Diagnostic Window

15 Extended Di agnosti c Wi ndow

The Extended Diagnostic Window allows to verify detailed information about the
actual valve/driver working conditions and to perform a complete troubleshooting of
possible error/fault conditions.

Access button

This window is an extension of Main Windows Diagnostic Area: see 9 for the
description of the common elements (the contents inside the blue box, have
been described in previous paragraphs).

15.1 Working Signal s
This part contains the same information of Main Windows Diagnostic Area (see 9).
Percentage values can be compared with the analog values (see 15 Detailed Errors) to verify of Analog
Input Range settings (see 11.1, 11.2).

15.2 Driver Status
This part adds to the basic information Life Timer

that displays (dd/hh/mm) how long the driver has been
powered up ( =sum of all power-on period).

Last Error indication of Diagnostic Area can be found into Detailed Errors (see below).


15.3 Detailed Errors
This part contains the relevant information to verify and solve error and fault conditions.

When driver detects an error condition, it is displayed with proper led, alarm/fault pin is set and disable
status is obtained.
15.3.1 Fault Acknowledge
The control allows the user to select how the driver return to normal
working when errors conditions are solved.

option1 Automatic
option2 Manual
Default Automatic
Automatic
Without error presence, the driver automatically returns to normal working condition and Last Error can be
used to identify possible valve/driver problems.
Manual
Without error presence, the driver returns to normal working condition only using Driver Restart (see
9.3.4), Enable signal (see 5.2.4) or fieldbus communication (see 11.12, control word).
Last Error can be used to identify possible valve/driver problems (with Driver Restart Last Error is cleared).

When status control is set to Remote Control the fault acknowledge selection is bypassed.
To reset a fault condition use fieldbus control word (see 11.12).

15.3.2 Analog Errors External Reference
These errors occur when analog reference inputs exceed the allowed maximum range (see 11.1 high
limit low limit settings): dedicated led will indicate which input is out of range.
Indicators always display the voltage (standard) or current (option /I) values of the analog reference
inputs. Use them to detect anomalous conditions or to verify the correct range settings.

When these errors are present the valve is disabled (not current to valves solenoid)

Verify reference signals wirings on the main connector and the voltage/current levels supplied by
the machine central unit.

15.3.3 Analog Errors Feedbacks

These errors occur when analog feedback inputs exceed the allowed range: dedicated led will indicate
which input is out of range.
Indicators always display the voltage (standard) or current (option /C) values of the analog reference
inputs. Use it to detect anomalous conditions or to verify the correct range settings (see 11.2 high limit
low limit settings, only for feedback from remote transducer).

These errors disable the valve (not current to valves solenoid)

TERS pressure feedbacks are connected to integral transducer; in cable broken condition the
feedback indicators will display a voltage value greater than 12V.

Verify transducers wirings and voltage/current output levels (in case of integral pressure
transducer, please contact Atos support).

15.3.4 PID Out Errors

These errors occur when closed loop controls exceed the allowed working limits (see 11.7)

Errors detection and valve/driver reaction depend on the actual Diagnostic settings (see 11.9)

With piloted valves, verify external piloting pressure or line pressure if internal piloting pressure is
used

With pressure/force PID Out error, verify the compatibility of demanded pressure/force, line
pressure, tank pressure and valve regulation characteristics

Contact Atos support to verify possible faults of spool, spring, integral transducer or solenoid wiring

15.3.5 Temperature Errors

These errors occur when internal temperature of the driver exceeds the allowed working limits (see 11.9)

Errors detection is always indicated by Alarm led and Fault digital output (pin 11); valve/driver can
be disabled depending on the actual Diagnostic settings (see 11.9)

Exceeding temperature limit can damage the electronic driver


15.4 True/false conditions

15.4.1 Digital OUT
The led indicates the status of the output fault signal (pin 11 on the
driver main connector - see 5.2.5).

led on pin 11 =0V
led off pin 11 =24V

Fault digital output on the main connector always corresponds to the Alarm led of Driver.
15.4.2 Digital IN
The led indicates the status of the input enable signal (pin 3 on the
driver main connector see 5.2.4) that allows to enable/disable the driver
status (see 9.2.1).

led on pin 3 >9V
led off pin 3 <5V

See 11.12 to control the driver status using fieldbus communication (only for BC/BP drivers)

15.4.3 Working Conditions
The led

indicates if the pressure/force feedback has reached the pressure/force demanded value:
diagnostic settings (see 11.9) are available to modify identification of this condition.

15.5 Driver Memories

This part adds the to the basic information and operation on the driver internal memory:

15.5.1 Adj ust Name
The indicator displays the adjust file name factory stored in the driver.

15.5.2 Last Store
The indicator displays the date of the last User store operation.

15.5.3 Restore User and Preset Parameters
The restore buttons

and allow to select which of the parameters stored into the driver has to be
loaded at next power on (see 6):

Restore User Parameters Last set parameters stored by the User will be loaded at next power on
Restore Preset Parameters Factory set parameters stored by Atos will be loaded at next power on

These parameters will be loaded automatically at the next power-on of the driver; to load immediately
the requested parameters use Driver Restart button - see 9.3.4.

During parameters restoring operations, power supply to the valve solenoid is switched-off: do not
use this function during system normal working.

Never switch-off the drivers power supply during restoring operations: permanent parameters stored
into the driver may result invalid!

16 Oscilloscope Window

16 Osci ll oscope Wi ndow

The control allows to set how long the signals must be acquired: use higher setting to obtain a more
complete acquisition of the machine working cycle.

Driver internal memory to acquisitions storing is limited. Low sample time and high period settings
increase the data amount to be stored and require longer time to complete acquisition process (more
data must be transferred from the controller to E-SW software).

If a setting of 'Sample Time' and 'Period' require more data than the available controller internal
memory, the indicator will display the following error message: Wrong Setting (too much
acquisition data). Increase Sample Time or reduce Period to solve this problem.

16.1.3 Trigger Configuration Type
The control allows the user to activate trigger function and define a
starting condition for the acquisition process: trigger can be used to
identify which part of the machine working cycle must be acquired and to
obtain a signals visualization repetitive.
