1.1 About this user manual
This manual describes the required operations to install and configure Atos proportional control valves with
Atos E-SW programming for PC.
This manual must be used for pressure relief/reducing proportional valves with integral (TERS) or remote
(AERS) pressure transducer (see 1.3.3) Atos software E-SW-** version 6.0 or greater is required (see 1.4).
Before installing or operating the driver for the first time, read this manual.
The purpose of this manual is not to cover all the details or variations of Atos drivers and software, and it
does not provide complete details for all possible working conditions; if any further information or technical
support are required, please contact the Technical Sales Support of Atos Electronic Division
(ele-support@atos.com).
The manual contains important safety instructions (see 1.5), whose knowledge is required to:
avoid hazards and dangers
minimize service and downtime
increase the working and reliability of the driver
In addition please follow up all the running regulations of the country/community where the drivers will be
used.

11.3 Pressure(Force) - Regulation - Bias
Function Description
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

Driver Operating Manual
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%).
11 Main Window Menu area [Settings]
E-MAN-RI-TERS/E-14 53
Driver Operating Manual
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
Function Description
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
11 Main Window Menu area [Settings]
E-MAN-RI-TERS/E-14 55
Driver Operating Manual
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
Function Description
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).
Parameter Description
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.

E-MAN-RI-TERS/E-14 57
Driver Operating Manual
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

11.6 Pressure - Linearization [level 2]
Function Description
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.
Parameter Description

11.7 Pressure - PID [level 2]
Function Description
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
Parameter Description
Proportional Factor
The control
allows to set the proportional part of the closed loop control
as percentage of the default setting.
Min 0,0%

11.9 Others Diagnostics [level 2]
Function Description
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.

11.11 Fieldbus (BC/BP) - Driver communication
Function Description
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.
