3 — PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS: Proportional Driver Parameters
* These parameter descriptions assume the proportional driver
is being used to drive a proportional valve, and that the PD
current control software is active (PD_Enable = On).

PARAMETER RANGE DESCRIPTION
PD Enable On / Off Determines how the PWM of the proportional driver is controlled.

0x306A 0x00 Put_PWM (PWM5, value); see Figure 17, page 119.
Hyd Lower Enable
On / Off When programmed On, lowering is controlled by throttle position.
Hyd_Lower_Enable On / Off When programmed Off, lowering is controlled by the VCL variable VCL_PD_

PD Max Current 0.00 – 2.00 A
*
The Lower speed is determined by the aperture of the proportional valve.
PD_Max_Current 0 – 607 This parameter sets the maximum allowed current through the valve,
0x3040 0x00 whichinturndenesitsaperture.
PD Min Current 0.00 – 2.00 A
*
Sets the minimum allowed current through the proportional valve.

PD Dither % 0 – 100 %
*
Dither provides a constantly changing current in the coil to produce a rapid

the amount of dither as a percentage of the PD max current, and is applied
in a continuous cycle of add%-subtract%.
PD Dither Period 16 – 112 ms
*
Sets the period for proportional valve dither.

PD Kp 1 – 100 %
*
Sets the proportional gain of the current feedback controller. Higher gains
PD_Kp 82 – 8192 force the control loop to respond quickly but may cause oscillations.
