Introduction
Application
The controller is used as an extension module for other Danfoss
controllers (application 1 below) or as a stepper valve driver
(application 2 below).

Input and output
In application mode 1, all input and output are defined via the
master controller AK-PC set-up.
In application mode 2, the input and output are intended for one
specific function.
The overview of connections can be seen on page 12.
Operation
The daily operation can be set up via an external display device
although this is normally not required for application 2.
The normal operation screen for application 1 is shown below.
During set-up, the display images will be adjusted so that only the
relevant images are opened for additional setting and end-user
operation.
The operation is password protected, and three levels of access
Danfoss
can be granted.
The controller contains English language only.
Two sets of LEDs on the EKE 1P indicate the EKE 1P application
confirmation, valve status and alarm condition – see details further
below.
Data communication
The controller has a built-in CANBUS and a built-in MODBUS
interface. The interfaces are used as shown in below table:

Fail-safe valve closure
As a stepper valve is provided with step motor, it will remain open
in a power failure situation.
For safety reasons, the liquid flow through the stepper valve must
be cut off if a power failure occurs.
There are two ways of coping with this situation.
One of the following two solutions can be applied in the system:
• Mounting of a solenoid valve in front of EEV
• Connection of a battery back-up for EEV valve
Danfoss
80G396
If the battery back-up is used, the battery voltage may be
continuously monitored to generate an alarm in case the battery
voltage gets out of range. As default this alarm is disabled.
Advantages
• Simplified settings:
– For application 1, typically the controller needs no parameter
adjustment
– For application 2, only a few key parameter settings may be
required
• Power Supply:
– Easy wiring layout. With no risk of causing short circuits when
connecting to other units through power supply
– 24 V AC or 24 V DC: flexibility in selecting different transformers
• Universal valve support:
– Drives bipolar and unipolar valves
– Danfoss standard valves selectable through drop-down
– Flexible configuration of valve driver parameters for non-
User Guide | Stepper Valve Extension Module, Type EKE 1P
Application 1
Application mode
In application 1, the EKE 1P operates as an extension module to a
CO pack controller, AK-PC. It is possible to configure if the EKE 1P
is used as an extension module where the stepper output controls
the high pressure, or as an extension module where the stepper
output controls the receiver pressure.
This is configurable through a software setting (parameter “Mode”)
or through a hardware configuration. As default the hardware
configuration is enabled, which means the AI4 input is used for the
configuration as follows:
AI4 open circuit or connected to 0 V (COM): high-pressure valve driver
AI4 connected to 5 V+: receiver valve driver
The IO configuration of application 1 is determined through the
configuration of the AK-PC.
Some, all or a sub-set of the inputs and outputs may be used.
See documentation of the specific AK-PC for details.
Valve configuration
In application mode 1, the valve type is configured via the AK-PC.
Only if the valve type is set to “User Defined” in the AK-PC, it is
required to access the EKE 1P parameter list for configuring the
valve specific parameters like number of steps, max current etc.
In application mode 1, the EKE 1P will set the valve opening
degree to a fixed value in case of losing the CANBUS
communication to the AK-PC. As default the valve will close in this
case.
Application 2
Valve configuration
The valve type can be selected from an extensive list of Danfoss
standard valve types. When a standard type is selected, only a
few parameters need to be set i.e. a valve neutral zone, the valve
overdrive and valve opening degree in special situations.
If Danfoss standard valve type is not selected, app. 20 parameters
for the valve and valve motor control become visible (“Valve motor
type”, “Valve drive current” etc.). See “Menu” for details.
Analogue input scaling
The EKE 1P may be configured for various voltage ranges, e.g.
2 – 10 V. Here the valve will be 0% open at 0 V and 100% open at
10 V and proportionally opened in values between. Typical input
ranges may be configured or the voltage range may be freely
configured within 0 – 10 V and 10 – 0 V.
Note: if the minimum is set to 0 V, the valve will start opening at
0.1 V to ensure detection of a valve closure signal (0 V).
Valve neutral Zone
The EKE 1P controller has a complex algorithm implemented to
handle oscillation issues related to output valve OD by defining
some neutral zone. In neutral zone, the valve will not move until it
overcomes the definite variation in the valve opening degree.
Valve Overdrive
To compensate for lost steps, the valve may be overdriven when it
closes to 0%. i.e. it will close with extra steps to make sure that it is
fully closed. This may, however, lead to increased wear on the valve
if it occurs frequently. To prevent this, the overdrive will only be
enabled when the valve opening degree exceeds a set value and
the overdrive function may only re-occur within a set interval.

ERR31
Alarm on the external display - MMIGRS2
If the communication to the display is not carried out correctly, it
will send an “ERR31” error notification.
This may be caused by the displayed wires H to R not being
installed, or that there have been interruptions in data
communication during the time when the display retrieves the
basic information from the controller.
Once the terminations have been inspected, you should then
check the software version of the external display. This is done by
holding down the Enter key and the X key for 5 seconds, until the
Bios menu appears.
Next, press the X key and read off the software version in the
bottom right corner. The software version must be 1.13 or newer.
Once the display’s software version has been checked, check the
display’s settings as follows:
1. Hold the Enter key and the X key down for 5 seconds, until the
Bios menu appears.
2. Select the “MCX selection” menu
- Select the “Clear UI” line and press Enter
- Select the “Autodetect” line and press Enter
3. Press the X key to return to the Bios menu
4. Select the “COM selection” menu
- Select the “CAN” line and press Enter
5. Press the X key to return to the Bios menu
6. Select the “Start up mode” menu
- Select the “Remote application” line and press Enter
7. Press the X key to return to the Bios menu
8. Select the “CAN” menu
- Select the “Baudrate” line and check that it is 50K
- Select the “Node ID” line and check that it is 126
9. Press the X key to return to the Bios menu
10. Select the “Application” menu and press Enter.

Installation considerations
Accidental damage, poor installation, or site conditions, can give
rise to malfunctions of the control system, and ultimately lead to a
plant breakdown.
Every possible safeguard is incorporated into our products to
prevent this. However, a wrong installation, for example, could still
present problems.
Electronic controls are no substitute for normal, good engineering
practice.
Danfoss will not be responsible for any goods, or plant
components, damaged as a result of the above defects. It is the
installer’s responsibility to check the installation thoroughly, and
to fit the necessary safety devices.
Special reference is made to the necessity of signals to the
controller when the compressor is stopped and to the need of
liquid receivers before the compressors. Your local Danfoss agent
will be pleased to assist with further advice, etc.
