This document contains important information about the safe operation and control of the open circuit
hydraulic Digital Displacement® Pump (DDP096) and its partnered electronic controller (DPC12).
Throughout this document the complete partnered product will be referred to as the Digital
Displacement® Pump or DDP.
Guidance is given on the transportation, commissioning and operation of the pump. For disposal please
contact Danfoss.
All safety guidance provided in this document must be followed. Relevant residual risks and control
measures are outlined.
This document is not a substitute for appropriate professional training and competency dealing with
hydraulic circuits. Only competent persons should install, operate or maintain the pump and controller.
About the DDP
Digital displacement is a new hydraulic pump technology based on a radial piston pump design. An
electronic controller selectively enables each piston by actuating a corresponding on/off valve. In this
way, the pump displacement is digitally variable resulting in fast and accurate flow control. Digital
Displacement® Pumps have high efficiency and very low idle losses because they use only as many
pistons as are needed to meet the demand.
Theory of operation
Check valves connect each of the pump’s piston chambers to the inlet and outlet, as shown below.
The outlet check valve is passive. The inlet check valve is actively controlled and is normally open and can
be closed by energizing a solenoid coil. As the pump’s input shaft rotates, it turns an eccentric cam which
pushes the piston up and down in the piston chamber. The controller determines whether or not the
piston will pump fluid to the outlet. If the piston is idling, the inlet check valve is not energized and the
inlet check valve remains in the open position. The fluid displaced by the piston moves freely back and
forth from the inlet. No fluid is discharged to the outlet.
To pump each piston, the controller closes the solenoid valve when the piston is at bottom dead center.
The inlet check valve closes and the piston forces the fluid through the outlet check valve. When the
piston reaches top dead center, the inlet check valve reopens and fluid is drawn from the inlet into the
piston chamber as the piston moves out to begin another cycle.
The DDP has 12 pistons which each displaces 8cc of fluid per stroke for a total displacement volume of 96
cc/rev. The pump geometry is designed so that the pistons are evenly spaced 30° apart. Every piston is
enabled at full displacement (displacement fraction Fd = 1), and every piston is disabled at Fd = 0. For 0 <
Fd < 1, the controller uses a sequence of enabled and disabled pistons which are represented by ones
and zeros respectively in the following table of examples.
The desired displacement fraction is achieved as an average over time. Some displacement fractions can
be achieved with short sequences like 01… or 001… Other displacement fractions are achieved with
longer sequences. For example, Fd = 0.792 = 19/24 has 10 active pistons during the first revolution and 9
active pistons during the second revolution. Fd = 0.51 requires a repeating sequence of length 100 with
51 ones and 49 zeros. Any value of Fd can be achieved with a sufficiently long binary sequence.
The controller does not use fixed or pre-programmed sequences of on and off pistons. At every 30
degrees of shaft rotation, the controller determines whether to enable the next piston based on the
current Fd command and the history of pistons enabled. In the preceding table, the commanded
displacement is constant, so the piston sequence is periodic. The same pistons are not necessarily
enabled or disabled, but can change with each shaft rotation.
The DDP can operate in various control modes including pressure control, load sensing, flow control,
displacement control, torque or power control and combinations of these. The control modes are
monitored by the DPC12 pump controller based on sensor inputs and configured with parameters and
limits at a software level. For instance, to regulate the pump pressure in pressure control mode, the
controller compares the measured pressure to the desired pressure and calculates a displacement
command with a proportional-integral control algorithm.
Multi-outlet pump
The DDP096 is composed of 12 pistons and valves (i.e. 12 pumping units). These pumping units are
divided into four groups called pumplets. The DDP can be perceived as a combination of four
independent pumplets producing each up to 24cc/rev, given its unique radial design and digital control.
The DDP096 is available either as a single-outlet endcap or a multi-outlet endcap. The single-outlet DDP
has one inlet and one outlet like other conventional hydraulic pumps. However, the multi-outlet DDP
leverages the four pumplets to offer multiple outputs from a single pump with independent flows,
pressures, and control modes.
The current multi-outlet endcap provides three outlets to the DDP:
•
2 outlets producing up to 24 cc/rev each
•
1 outlet producing up to 48 cc/rev
With this multi-outlet endcap, different displacements are achievable with a ganging manifold to suit an
application using two services. A service is one level higher than the pump outlet and represents the
number of fluid consumers of the DDP. A service is essential to control the DDP096 with the DPC12.
Currently, only 2-service operation (Service 1 and Service 2) is available. There are two settings possible
for 2-service operation:

General safety warnings
The DDP has been manufactured according to the generally accepted rules of hydraulic machine design
and uses the latest advanced valve concepts to maximize operating efficiency and user controllability.
Fluid under high pressure
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious injury
and/or infection.
Additionally, the fluid may cause burns.
Use caution when dealing with hydraulic fluid under pressure.
Always relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or other components.
Never use hands or any other body parts to check for leaks in a pressurized component; seek medical
attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
OEM responsibility
The OEM of a machine or vehicle in which Danfoss products are installed has the full responsibility for all
consequences that might occur. Danfoss has no responsibility for any consequences, direct or indirect,
caused by failures or malfunctions.
*
Half a revolution plus 8.5 ms for communication and processing time. For example, at 1800 rpm, processing time is 16.2 ms + 8.5
ms = 24.7 ms.
Danfoss has no responsibility for any accidents caused by incorrectly mounted or maintained
equipment.
•
Danfoss does not assume any responsibility for Danfoss products being incorrectly applied or the
system being programmed in a manner that jeopardizes safety.
•
All safety critical systems shall include an emergency stop to switch off the main supply voltage for
the outputs of the electronic control system. All safety critical components shall be installed in such a
way that the main supply voltage can be switched off at any time. The emergency stop must be easily
accessible to the operator.
•
The hydraulic system must also be designed to withstand an emergency shutdown where hydraulic
flow will stop, and pressure may drop significantly.
Warning
There is the potential to cause personal injury or damage to equipment if the following instructions and
warning are not followed.
•
Please read these instructions thoroughly before commissioning the pump.
•
Keep these instructions in an accessible location and always pass them on to the end user of the
pump.
•
Consult with Danfoss if there are any questions about the intended use of the pump or safety
implications from operating the pump.
•
Operating conditions and technical data given in the data sheet must be followed at all times.
Pressure relief
The pump is not supplied with any mechanical pressure limiting device as standard. Pressure transducers
present on the pump are for pressure compensation and can not substitute as a safety device.
A pressure relief valve rated for full flow in the hydraulic circuit is important in protecting the product and
personnel.
The OEM is responsible for designing the system to mitigate potential unsafe situations, such as
providing adequate pressure relief.
Failure and fault states
If electrical power to the DPC12 controller is lost, the DDP096 pump will output zero flow. Some software
faults also cause the DDP096 to stop providing flow. If zero output flow is an undesirable failure/fault
mode in the application, means of providing backup flow must be designed into the system.
Intended use
Digital Displacement® pumps are components in terms of the EU machinery directive 98/37/EC. Hydraulic
pumps are not ready to use machines as described in the EU machine directive. Digital Displacement
pumps are produced with the sole intention of being incorporated within a machine or further assembly
to form a machine or system. The product may only be fully commissioned after it has been installed in
the machine or system for which it is intended.
The Digital Displacement® pump produces and controls the flow of hydraulic fluid most commonly with
the function of regulating the output pressure. It is assumed that a flow control device, such as a closed
center proportional valve, is present in the system between the pump and the controlled load. Other
applications may be acceptable but should be discussed with Danfoss first.

Improper use
Warning
Digital Displacement® pumps may not be used in explosive environments. Digital Displacement® pumps
may not be used in life critical applications.
Please contact Danfoss for further information on use in specific applications.
The system operates with high pressure fluid. Assembly and disassembly of the pump for maintenance
purposes is only to be carried out by Danfoss or a qualified service technician authorized by Danfoss.
Installation of the pump and electrical equipment must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel
with experience and knowledge of working with hydraulic and electrical systems.

Power consumption values are reported as mean values. The DPC12 draws a variable pulsed load from

The maximum logic power consumption is with 6 pressure sensors (4-20 mA).
Separate coil and logic power supplies
The controller coil and logic supply inputs (i.e. power) are internally separated, while the supply returns
(i.e. ground) are internally connected (see Grounding on page 49). This means that supply inputs and
returns must be supplied to both to produce flow. The separation allows the coil circuitry to be deenergized while the logic remains powered, thus providing communication with the controller while the
coils can no longer cause pumping. Any switching device used must be on the supply inputs. The coil
and logic supply returns must always be connected to system ground and all supply return pins must be
used in order to provide the appropriate current sinking. Due to higher power requirements of the coil
circuitry compared to the logic circuitry, different gauges of wire may be needed.

is essential to protect the DPC12 against reverse polarity
conditions. Without a fuse, the DPC12 can be damaged.
Multiple or sustained reverse polarity events can also damage
the DPC12.
reverse polarity protection.
Warning
When powering the DPC12 from a current limited power supply, use special consideration to ensure
power supply has enough margin to blow the chosen fuse. For example, pairing a 40A fuse with a current
limited power supply of 40A is potentially dangerous. The fuse current must be exceeded by a large
margin to guarantee the fuse blows before hardware damage.
Pressure sensors for DPC12
While the DDP096 pump is already equipped with pressure sensor(s), additional pressure sensor(s) may
be required for load sensing operation. The DPC12 is only compatible with 4-20 mA pressure sensors. The
controller supplies a minimum supply voltage of 12V to pressure sensors. The receiver has a maximum
load resistance of 160 Ω. A 4-20 mA sensor that accepts a minimum supply voltage of 8V or less is
recommended. Contact your Danfoss representative for recommended pressure sensors.

DPC12 housing
The DPC12 housing features a snap together assembly. The controller weighs 2.8 kg [6.2 lbs]. Once
assembled at the factory, the housing cannot be opened for service.
The DPC12 controller is not field serviceable. Opening the DPC12 housing voids the factory warranty.
The overall pump efficiency is the ratio of the hydraulic output power to the mechanical input power.
Inlet pressure 1.0 bar abs – inlet temperature 49°C with ISO VG46 oil.
Idle losses
In a Digital Displacement® pump each piston chamber is isolated from the outlet line by a high-pressure
valve, acting as a check valve. As a result, the idle losses of the DDP096 are independent from the outlet
pressure.
While in idling mode, the discharge flow of the pump is exactly 0 L/min.
See Theory of operation on page 5 for more information.
The DDP096 output flow rate is proportional to the displacement fraction as the number of valves being
enabled increases linearly with the displacement fraction. The discharged flow rate will also decrease as
the pressure increases. In conventional machines, such a decrease in flow is normally associated with
volumetric efficiency, as the energy is lost as leakage. With Digital Displacement® pumps, this decrease is
due to pump shrinkage and is mostly caused by the compression of oil. Most of the energy stored in the
compressed oil is then transferred back to the crankshaft when the piston chamber is depressurized after
top dead center.
The conventional definition of volumetric efficiency (defined by ISO4409:2019) is therefore inappropriate
for Digital Displacement® pumps. For a more accurate definition of the DDP’s volumetric efficiency, please
refer to A More Accurate Definition of Mechanical and Volumetric Efficiencies for Digital Displacement Pumps
from Christopher Williamson and Noah Manring.
To estimate the actual DDP096 discharged flow rate at a given pressure and shaft speed, the shaft speed
should be multiplied by the “Flow rate / Shaft Speed” (i.e. pump displacement) presented in the graph
below. For example, at 400 bar and 2500 rpm the DDP096 pump displaces a maximum of 88.5 cc/rev,
equivalent to 177 L/min.
As each valve actuation is done independently, the pump shrinkage ratio is independent of the pump
displacement demand. Therefore, when requesting 25% of pump output flow, the pump will displace
exactly 25% of maximum flow in the same condition of pressure speed and viscosity.
Input torque
Due to internal compressed energy recovery, the torque and input power follow the same rule as the
pump discharge flow; the input torque and power increases less with pressure than would be expected
from the theoretical value.
