Software Operating
Brief instruction for first startup:
•  Connect the valve electronic to the supply voltage.
•  Connect the valve electronic to a PC via the 
parametrizing cable.
•  Start the operating program.
•  After displaying the program resp. data base 
version a program window opens and the 
connected valve will be automatically identified 
(possibly a manual identification via the button 
“Receive all” is necessary).
•  Select the desired version via the menu “Op-
tions/Optionen” with the menu item “Language/
Sprache”.
•  The valve specific default parameters are already 
available within the parameter table.
•  Parameter changes are possible via mouse or 
the arrow buttons on the bottom left within the 
program screen, also the parameter values may 
be edited via the keyboard.
•  Modified parameters will be stored via the “Enter” 
key or via the button “Update list”.
•  Parameters have to be nonvolatile stored on the 
valve via the button “save parameter”.
•  The chosen parameters may be optionally stored 
on the PC via the “File”-menu with the menu item 
“Save as”, data retrieving is always possible via 
the function “Load file”
Extended functions:
The user software is shared into 2 parameter 
ranges: 
•  basic mode 
•  expert mode 
For normal startup the basic mode is sufficient. It 
permits the setting of all application specific para-
meters to match the valve function with the task 
setting. 
In case of special applications the valve parameters 
may be adapted via the expert mode. The operating 
mode may be selected from the “Options”- menu 
and remains after terminating and re-start of the 
program. 
  Changing of expert parameters is only per-
mitted for qualified personnel. Incorrect 
settings may lead to malfunction! In case of 
parameter changes shut the drive down!
To prevent an unauthorized access for the expert 
mode, a pass word is requested. The name is 
“parker” and cannot be changed. Thus additionally 
to the button “Default” for loading of the default 
parameters, the button “Send parameter” appears 
in the “Expert”-operating mode. This button trans-
mits only the setting of one single parameter to 
the connected valve. Thus a quick tuning of single 
parameters is permitted during the setup. 
  A horizontal bar graph readout between the 
communication buttons shows the data 
transfer state.
  Because the ProPxD program has also wit-
hout connection to the valve functionality, a 
manual pre-selection of the parameters is 
possible. After selection of the valve type via 
the menu “Options” the parameters may be 
set and stored for later transmission.
  Note the design series while selection of the 
valve!
The “File” menu provides the functions “Printer 
setup”, “Print preview” and “Print”. The print preview 
includes the option for parameter set storage as 
text file (format.txt) prior to further processing. The 
“Options” menu provides also the selection of the 
RS232C interface port via the menu item “Port”. 
Via the menu item “Load file” previously stored 
parameter sets may be loaded.
Adjustment parameters 
The available parameters may be divided into 
multiple groups and are characterized by different 
letters: 
S-parameters
P-parameters
J-parameters
