Electrohydraulic Actuators PVE-EX

Functionality

PVE-EX functionality

The PVE-EX is an electro mechanical device, meaning that functionality is depending on mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and control conditions given by PVE, PVG, application and vehicle. The result of this is that implementing operation and safety conditions also must include vehicle specific considerations.

PVE hydraulic subsystems

The hydraulic subsystem is used for moving the spool and thereby open the valve for work flow.
Pilot oil diagram
The hydraulic subsystem moves the spool and thereby opens the valve for work flow. The heart in the hydraulic subsystem is the solenoid valve bridge which controls the Pilot Pressure (Pp) on spool ends. It consist of four poppet valves, the two upper are normally closed (NC) and the two lower are normally open (NO).
The Pp will work against the PVBS neutral spring when the spool is moved out of blocked (neutral) and together with the spring when going in blocked. This combined with a larger opening in the NO than in the NC will give a faster movement towards blocked than out of blocked.
When the PVE is powered the solenoids are all put in closed state. To move the PVBS to the right NC1 and NO4 are opened and NC3 and NO4 are kept closed.
The activation of the solenoid valves represents oil consumption and thereby also a pressure drop in the pilot oil gallery. By simultaneous use of multiple PVE the Pp can fall and result in performance problems.
The two check valves next to the NO are anti-cavitation valves. The orifice to tank reduces tank pressure spikes and can also be used for ramp function.
Warning
Obstacles for the Pilot oil pressure (Pp) can have direct influence on spool control. Reduced Pp will limit spool control. Too high Pp can harm the PVE.

PVE characteristic – control by voltage

PVE-EX ON/OFF activation

The PVEO has two independent powered sets of solenoids. By powering a set of pins the actuator is activated. By standard mounted PVE the A set gives full flow on A port and B gives on B port. Both directions activated at same time will keep the spool in neutral.

Warning
The PVEO is designed to have UDC=12 V or UDC=24 V. The solenoids might be activated by voltage down to 6 V.

PVE-EX: PVE hysteresis

The controllability of the PVE depends on the solenoid valve bridge and the electronic capacity of the module. Hysteresis is a measurement on spool position precision and repeatability. Hysteresis is not a description of position maintaining.

All types of control valves (incl. proportional valves) can fail, thus the necessary protection against the serious consequences of function failure should always be built into the system. For each application an assessment should be made for the consequences of pressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked movements. To determine the degree of protection that is required to be built into the application, system tools such an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) and Hazard and Risk Analysis can be used.
FMEA – IEC EN 61508
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) is a tool used for analyzing potential risks. This analytical technique is utilized to define, identify, and prioritize the elimination or reduction of known and/or potential failures from a given system before it is released for production. Please refer to the standard IEC FMEA 61508.
Hazard and risk analysis ISO 12100-1/14121
This analysis is a tool used in new applications as it will indicate whether there are special safety considerations to be met according to the machine directives EN 13849. Dependent on the determined levels conformity this analysis will detirmine if any extra requirements for the product design, development process, production process or maintenance, example the complete product life cycle.

Safety guidelines

Warning
All brands and all types of directional control or proportional valves, which are used in many different operation conditions and applications, can fail and cause serious damage. Analyze all aspects of the application. The machine builder/system integrator alone is responsible for making the final selection of the products and assuring that all performance, safety and warning requirements of the application are met. The process of choosing the control system and safety levels is governed by the machine directives EN 13849 (Safety related requirements for control systems).
When failure, damage or defect occurs, the PVE-EX has to be replaced.
A failing PVE-EX must under no circumstance be repaired.
No modifications, which could damage the explosion-safety and protection, are allowed to the PVE­EX, the cable gland, or on the cable.
Demounting a PVE-EX should be done in an atmosphere with no potenential for explosions.
The machine and system approval has to be issued before using the PVE-EX in explosive-areas.
The manufacturer has the application responsibility and is solely responsible for the safety of the system.
Deviations from recommended torque when mounting parts can harm performance and the PVE-EX.
Do not adjust, bend or damage the position transducer (LVDT) as this will influence the safety and performance.
When replacing the PVE-EX, the electrical and the hydraulic systems must be turned off and the oil pressure released.
Hydraulic oil can cause both environmental damage and personal injuries.
Module replacement can introduce contamination and errors to the system. It is important to keep the work area clean and components should be handled with care.

Safety and monitoring

PVE-EX fault monitoring and reaction

PVE-EX is available with fault monitoring and spool direction indication. The fault monitoring system is available in two versions:
Active fault monitoring provides a warning signal and deactivates the solenoid valves. A reboot of the
PVE is required to reactivate. Passive fault monitoring provides a warning signal only. A reboot is not required.
Both active and passive fault monitoring systems are triggered by the same three main events:

Control signal monitoring

Transducer supervision

Supervision of spool position

Control signal monitoring
The Control signal voltage (US) is continuously monitored. The permissible range is between 15% and 85% of the supply voltage. Outside this range the PVE-EX will switch into an error state.
Transducer supervision
The internal LVDT wires are monitored. If the signals are interrupted or short-circuited, the PVE-EX will switch into an error state.
Supervision of spool position
The actual position must always correspond to the demanded position (US). If the actual spool position is further out from neutral than the demanded spool position >12% or in
opposite direction, the PVE will switch into an error state. With neutral/blocked setpoint the tolerance is +- 0.5 mm relative the calibrated neutral position. Spool
position closer to neutral and in same direction will not cause an error.
Active fault reaction is activated when the failure has been active for 500 ms
The solenoid valve bridge is disabled and the PVBS is released to spring control
The error output pin goes high
The state is memorized and continues until PVE reboot
Passive fault reaction is activated when the failure has been active for 500 ms
The solenoid valve bridge is NOT disabled and the PVBS is NOT released
The error output pin goes high (for PVE with direction indication both DI pins goes low by fault)
The state is active for minimum 100 ms and is reset when error disappears
To avoid the electronics in undefined state a general supervision of power supply (UDC) an internal clock frequency is implemented. This function applies to PVEH and PVES independently of fault monitoring version and will not activate fault monitoring.
Warning
Error pins from more PVEs may not be interconnected. Not activated error pins are connected to ground and will disable any active signal. Error pins are signal pins and can only supply very limited power consumption.

The DI has two direction feeedback signals with output high (close to UDC) when the spool is in neutral position. If the spool moves out of neutral position, the direction signal switches to low (< 0.2 V). One of the signals goes low by spool ~0.8 mm out of neutral and high by spool within 0,4 mm out of neutral.
Both direction indication signals go low when the error indicator goes high.

As shown in the figure, both “DI-A” and “DI-B” signals are “High” when the spool is in neutral position. When the spool is moving in the A direction, the “DI-A” signal goes “Low” and the “DI-B” signal stays “High”. The reverse is true when the spool is moved in the B direction.

Warning
Not applying to the Operational Conditions can compromise safety.
A PVG with PVE-EX can only perform according to description if conditions in this Technical Information are met.
In particularly exposed applications, protection in the form of a shield is recommended.
When the PVE-EX is in fault mode the quality of performance and validity of feedback is limited depending on the fault type.
Error pins from more PVE-EX’s may not be connected. Inactive error pins are connected to ground and will disable any active signal. Error pins are signal pins and can only supply very limited power consumption.
After replacement of modules or cables wiring quality must be verified by a performance test.
By actuation at voltage below nominal PVG will have reduced performance.
The PVE-EX is not designed for use with voltage outside nominal.
Obstacles for the Pilot oil can have direct influence on spool control.
Reduced pilot oil pressure will limit spool control.
Too high pilot oil pressure can harm the PVE-EX.
