Valve setup - the setup menu ow changes depending on the
valve drive type selected. Here we will go through the 4 control
output types.
Proportional Time mode, the EG Series valve output is an on/
off voltage, high current output; the output voltage will, during
the valve on time, be equal to the DC input supply. Refer to the
wiring diagram for the proper wire connections.
Valve Cycle Time - This menu function sets how often the
valve pulses are sent to the hydraulic valve called hits per-
second. The range is 1 to 15 hits per-second and unit is in
milliseconds, to calculate the hits per-second divide 1 by the
milliseconds. eg.1/0.250 = 4 hits per-second. The lower the
number the more hits per-second. For most hydraulic systems
starting at 100ms or 10 hits per-second is a good place to start.
The faster you can hit the valve the ner the cylinder move-
ments, the smoother the control. The valve response will differ
for valve to valve.
Valve Drive Conguration - This menu function sets how the
valve drive operates the valve coil. Set to Curr.srce the con-
trol box drive will provide a voltage to activate the valve coil,
the other side of the coil will need to be connected to ground.
Set to Curr.sink the control box drive will provide ground to
activate the valve coil, the other side of the coil will need to be
connected to + battery voltage.
Valve Drive Current Limit - A few of the valves on the market
may require a limited amount if drive current, as not to damage
the valve itself. When the valve drive is set to Curr.srce, the
next menu will allow you to enable the Current Limit and set
a current limit to a maximum of 4.8 amps. If there is a current
limit required the valve information will tell you, make sure to
check all valve specication prior to setup.
When the valve drive is set to Curr.sink the current limit will
not be available. For most of the hydraulic valves on the mar-
ket, this function will not be required.
