Using the Valve Unit and Valve-pump Controller 4
Servicing Your Valve System
Position Encoder, 7-Segment Drivers, Position LED
An encoder wheel on the axis of the valve and three light switches provide a
three bit signal for the 8 possible positions of the valve. The actual position of
the valve is displayed on the front panel by the position LED which is driven
by 7-segment drivers. A fourth light switch is used to sense the fine
positioning (position line is “1” if setpoint position is reached). (These lines
can be accessed, opening the valve-pump controller-valve cable.)
