Load sensing open circuit system
The pump receives fluid directly from the reservoir through the inlet line. A screen in the inlet line
protects the pump from large contaminants. The pump outlet feeds directional control valves such as
PVG-32’s, hydraulic integrated circuits (HIC), and other types of control valves. The PVG valve directs
pump flow to cylinders, motors and other work functions. A heat exchanger cools the fluid returning
from the valve. A filter cleans the fluid before it returns to the reservoir.
Flow in the circuit determines the speed of the actuators. The position of the PVG valve determines the
flow demand. A hydraulic pressure signal (LS signal) communicates demand to the pump control. The
pump control monitors the pressure differential between pump outlet and the LS signal, and regulates
servo pressure to control the swashplate angle. Swashplate angle determines pump flow.
Actuator load determines system pressure. The pump control monitors system pressure and will decrease
the swashplate angle to reduce flow if system pressure reaches the PC setting. A secondary system relief
valve in the PVG valve acts as a back-up to control system pressure.

Servo Control Orifice Principle
Series 45 controls offer an optional servo control orifice (not available with Pressure Compensation only
Controls) available to aid in tuning system performance. The optional servo control orifice restricts flow
to and from the servo system in the pump, effectively pacing the motion of the servo system.

The use of the Servo Control Orifice will provide additional pacing to the pump, while the response of the
pump to pressure spikes remains unaffected. The Pressure Compensation Function response and
recovery, as well as the Load Sense Function response and recovery are shown below, and outline the
relative impact in response and recovery of the Servo Control Orifices. Note that these graphs are meant

Technical Information
Series 45 Pumps
General Information
We recommend that systems experiencing instability use a Servo Control Orifice. Start with the largest
size orifice available, and work down to the smaller size until the system is satisfactorily tuned. All FanDrive systems should start with a 0.8mm Servo Control Orifice if possible. Systems including motors are
more likely to require the Servo Control Orifice option.
Pacing Factor
Use of a Servo Control Orifice adds a pacing factor to each Series 45 Frame, impacting the behavior of the
pumps reactivity. This pacing factor can be multiplied by the specific Frame/Displacement/Control
selection’s response and recovery times, to determine the final paced response and recovery times.
Unique response and recovery times can be found in each frame-specific chapter, in the desired control
section. The paced response and recovery relationship is shown below.
Pacing Factors are unique to each orifice size, and can impact each frame differently. Below are the
Pacing Factors for each Servo Control Orifice Size by frame.

Pressure compensated controls
Operation
The PC control maintains constant system pressure in the hydraulic circuit by varying the output flow of
the pump. Used with a closed center control valve, the pump remains in high pressure standby mode at
the PC setting with zero flow until the function is actuated. This condition is often called a dead head
condition.
Once the closed center valve is opened, the PC control senses the immediate drop in system pressure
and increases pump flow by increasing the swashplate angle. The pump continues to increase flow until
system pressure reaches the PC setting. If system pressure exceeds the PC setting, the PC control reduces
the swashplate angle to maintain system pressure by reducing flow. The PC control continues to monitor
system pressure and changes swashplate angle to match the output flow with the work function
pressure requirements.
If the demand for flow exceeds the capacity of the pump, the PC control directs the pump to maximum
displacement. In this condition, actual system pressure depends on the actuator load.
Each section includes control schematic diagrams, setting ranges, and response / recovery times for each
control available. Response is the time (in milliseconds) for the pump to reach zero displacement when
commanded by the control. Recovery is the time (in milliseconds) for the pump to reach full displacement
when commanded by the control. Actual times can vary depending on application conditions.
Warning
A relief valve is required to be installed in the pump outlet for additional system protection. Failure to
install a relief valve may lead to system damage and/or injury.

General Information
Typical operating curve
Closed center circuit with remote PC
The remote PC control uses a pilot line connected to an external hydraulic valve. The external valve
changes pressure in the pilot line, causing the PC control to operate at a lower pressure. When the pilot
line is vented to reservoir, the pump maintains pressure at the load sense setting. When pilot flow is
blocked, the pump maintains pressure at the PC setting. An on-off solenoid valve can be used in the pilot
line to create a low-pressure standby mode. A proportional solenoid valve, coupled with a
microprocessor control, can produce an infinite range of operating pressures between the low pressure
standby setting and the PC setting.
Warning
A relief valve is required to be installed in the pump outlet for additional system protection. Failure to
install a relief valve may lead to system damage and/or injury.
Each section includes control schematic diagrams, setting ranges, and response / recovery times for each

Load sensing controls
Operation
The LS control matches system requirements for both pressure and flow in the circuit regardless of the
working pressure. Used with a closed center control valve, the pump remains in low-pressure standby
mode with zero flow until the valve is opened. The LS setting determines standby pressure.
Typical operating curve
Load sensing circuit
Most load sensing systems use parallel, closed center, control valves with special porting that allows the
highest work function pressure (LS signal) to feed back to the LS control. Margin pressure is the difference
between system pressure and the LS signal pressure. The LS control monitors margin pressure to read
system demand. A drop in margin pressure means the system needs more flow. A rise in margin pressure
tells the LS control to decrease flow.
LS control with bleed orifice
The load sense signal line requires a bleed orifice to prevent high-pressure lockup of the pump control.
Most load-sensing control valves include this orifice. An optional internal bleed orifice is available, for use
with control valves that do not internally bleed the LS signal to tank.

Electric Proportional Controls (EPC)
PLUS+1® Compliance
All Series 45 Electric controls have met and passed the Danfoss PLUS+1® compliance standard testing,
and as such, this Series 45 control is PLUS+1® compliant. PLUS+1® compliance blocks are available on the
Danfoss website, within the PLUS+1® Guide section.
Electric Proportional Control Principle
The Electric Proportional Control consists of a proportional solenoid integrated into a Remote Pressure
Compensated control. This control allows the pump to be operated at any pressure limit between the
Load Sense and Pressure Compensation settings by varying the current sent to the solenoid.
Reference individual frame sections for the margin (LS) setting vs low pressure standby relationship.
Electric proportional controls have a unique relationship between margin (LS) setting and low pressure
standby. This relationship is available in the electric proportional controls section for each frame.
For fan-drive systems, and systems with motors, use a minimum 15bar LS setting to enhance system
stability. As the LS setting is reduced, the risk for system instability may be increased. A 20bar LS setting is
recommended as a starting point for all new applications.
Electric Proportional Control Response/Recovery
S45 Electric Proportional Controls require the use of a servo control orifice, and are available with two
possible servo control orifice options. The servo control orifice is used to enhance system stability, as well
as dampen the pump reactiveness. A smaller orifice diameter will add dampening to the pump
reactiveness, while a larger orifice will allow quicker pump reaction. Fan-Drive applications, as well as
systems with the pump supplying motors, are recommended to use the 0.8mm diameter orifice to
enhance system stability.

••
Specific Electric Proportional Control Response/Recovery times are shown for the available servo control
orifice options in the control section within each specific frame section. These times represent the
response from 100bar to 200bar, and recovery from 200bar to 100bar. As the upper pressure approaches
the PC setting, the PC function will begin to assist in clipping pressure overshoots during the pump’s
response, and will decrease the response times of the pump to equal those of the PC response.
Electric Proportional Control Pressure vs. Flow Characteristic
The Electric Proportional Controls continuous duty operating temperature range is shown below; this
guideline should be followed as well as the maximum current limitations. Note that rated voltage refers
to either a 12V or 24V coil. Under high temperature conditions, current required to operate the solenoid
increases.

Electric Proportional Control Characteristic – Normally Closed
When an electric current is sent to the Normally Closed configuration control, the pump pressure
decreases proportional to an increase in current. When the load in the system changes, the pump will
adjust its displacement to maintain the pressure demanded by the controlling current. This control is
especially useful for fan-drives, due to the direct relationship between fan-speed and pump pressure.
Due to the nature of Electric Proportional Controls, the relationship between current and pump pressure
is unique for each individual PC/LS pressure setting combination. The relationship between different PC
settings and different LS settings on the Pressure vs. Current Characteristic curve are shown below. The

When an electric current is sent to the normally open configuration control, the pump pressure increases
proportional to an increase in current. When the load in the system changes, the pump will adjust its
displacement to maintain the pressure demanded by the controlling current. This control is especially
useful for fan-drives, due to the direct relationship between fan-speed and pump pressure.

For fan-drive systems, and systems with motors, use a minimum 15bar LS setting to enhance system
stability. As the LS setting is reduced, the risk for system instability may be increased. A 20bar LS setting is
recommended as a starting point for all new applications.
Electric On-Off Control Response/Recovery
S45 Electric On/Off Controls are available with two servo control orifice options, as well as without an
orifice. The servo control orifice is used to enhance system stability, as well as dampen the pump
reactiveness. A smaller orifice diameter will add dampening to the pump reactiveness, while a larger
orifice will allow quicker pump reaction.

Specific Electric On/Off Control Response/Recovery times are shown for the available servo control orifice
options in the control section within each specific frame section. These times represent the response
from 75% of rated continuous pressure to 100% of rated continuous pressure, and recovery from 100% of
rated continuous pressure to 75% of rated continuous pressure for N.C. configuration per SAE J745 (viceversa for N.O). As the system pressure approaches the PC setting, the PC function will begin to assist in
clipping pressure overshoots during the pump’s response, and will decrease the response times of the
pump to equal those of the PC response.
Electric On-Off Control Performance vs. Ambient Temperature Characteristic
The Electric On/Off Controls continuous duty operating temperature range is shown below; this guideline
should be followed as well as the maximum current limitations. Note that rated voltage refers to either a
12V or 24V coil. Under high temperature conditions the PWM duty cycle to operate the solenoid
increases.
Electric On-Off Control Characteristic – Normally Closed
The normally closed configuration On/Off control directs the pump to its Pressure Compensation
pressure setting when no current is applied. When the required electric current is sent to the normally
closed configuration control the pump pressure decreases to the Low-Pressure Standby setting. This
control does not have Load Sense functionality, but rather acts as a Pressure Compensation control when
not energized, or is directed to its low-pressure standby when energized. This control is especially useful
for machine startups, as the pump can be directed to its Low-Pressure Standby setting during startup to
reduce the load on engine starters.
The available Normally Closed Electric On/Off Controls for the Series 45 are shown below. The allowable
Pressure Compensator (PC) and Load Sense (LS) pressure settings are provided for each frame in their
respective sections.

Electric On/Off Control Characteristic – Normally Open
The Normally Open configuration On/Off control directs the pump to its Low-Pressure Standby setting
when no current is applied. When the required electric current (end current) is sent to the Normally Open
configuration control, the pump pressure increases to the Pressure Compensation pressure setting. This
control does not have Load Sense functionality, but rather acts as a Pressure Compensation control when
energized, or is directed to its Low-Pressure Standby when de-energized. This control is especially useful
for machine startups, as the pump can be directed to its Low Pressure Standby setting during startup to
reduce the load on engine starters.

Electric dump valve PC/LS controls
The electric dump valve pressure-compensated/load sense control allows the pump to operate as a
PC/LS type control under normal operating conditions. The solenoid dump valve overrides the LS control,
allowing the pump to operate in a Low-Pressure Standby mode. This function provides reduced
horsepower and torque loss in certain situations. It may be particularly useful to reduce loads on a system
during engine start.
When closed, the solenoid valve allows the control to act as a PC/LS control. When open, the solenoid
valve allows flow from the incoming load sense pressure to dump to case. This reduces the pressure in
the LS spring cavity, shifting the LS spool, and allows the pump to de-stroke to the Low-Pressure Standby
condition. This control is for applications needing a PC/LS control with the ability to switch to LowPressure Standby electronically. The solenoid valve is available in a normally closed and open
configuration.
For high cycling or power management applications, ensure to limit margin pressures to 60 bar or less for
optimal control component life.

Electric Torque Limiting Control Principle
The Electronic Torque Limiting control consists of a normally closed proportional relief valve (PRV)
integrated into a Pressure Compensated/Load Sensing control. This control operates as a PC/LS control,
with the additional ability to limit load sense pressure using the integrated PRV by varying the current to
the solenoid. When combined with an angle sensor, this control allows for a PC/LS control with electronic
torque limiting.
J-frame pump with integrated ETL control
Pump torque consumption is a function of pump outlet pressure, pump displacement, and pump
mechanical efficiency. When pump mechanical efficiency is considered constant, the pump torque can
be limited when pump displacement is known and pump pressure is controlled. As pump displacement
increases, the pump outlet pressure can be limited using the PRV to result in a constant torque limit.
Pump outlet pressure is equal to the load sense pressure, which is limited with the PRV, plus the margin
pressure setting of the pump.
The Electronic Torque Limiting control allows users to limit pump torque consumption electronically by
combining a pressure limiting PRV and angle sensor. This torque limit can be changed with varying
engine speeds (as shown in the Electronic Torque Limiting graph below), allowing the use of full engine
torque at all engine speeds and increasing machine productivity. A microcontroller is required to store
engine torque vs speed, receive the pump angle sensor signal, and then calculate and output the pump
outlet pressure limit. The basic torque limiting control logic for a single engine speed is shown below.
Danfoss offers a PLUS+1 subsystem application block for the Electronic Torque Limiting control option in
combination with keyed MC012-112 microcontroller hardware. The part number for the keyed
MC012-112 microcontroller is 11157484. Refer to graph Operating Pressure vs. Input Current (N.C. EPC) on
page 20 for pressure vs. current information.
All Series 45 Electric controls have met and passed the Danfoss PLUS+1 compliance standard testing, and
as such, this Series 45 control is PLUS+1 compliant. PLUS+1 compliance blocks (software) are available on
the Danfoss website, within the PLUS+1 Guide section.
