All types and brands of control valves, including proportional valves, can fail. Therefore, the necessary
protection against the serious consequences of a functional failure should always be built into the
system.
General safety considerations
For each application an assessment should be made for the consequences of the system in case of
pressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked movements.
Warning
Because the proportional valve is used in many different applications and under different operating
conditions, it is the sole responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that all performance, safety and
warning requirements of the application is met in his selection of products and complies with relevant
machine specific and generic standards.
Control system example
An example of a control system using an aerial lift is shown below:
Aerial lift
This example breaks down the control system into smaller bits explaining the architecture in depth. Even
though many Danfoss components are used in the PVG control system.
The function of the control system is to use the output from the PVE together other external sensors to
ensure the PLUS+1 main controllers correct function of the aerial lift.
It is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer that the control system incorporated in the
machine is declared as being in conformity with the relevant machine directives.
Caution
A mix of electrical actuation and hydraulic actuation on the same valve stack is not safe. PVE and PVH are
designed for different pilot pressure.
Cost-free repairs, as mentioned in Danfoss General Conditions of Sale, are carried out only at Danfoss or
at service shops authorized by Danfoss.
PVG is a hydraulic, load-sensing proportional valve, designed for optimal machine performance and
maximum design flexibility.
The PVG valve design is based on a modular concept that enables machine designers to specify a valve
solution suitable for multiple market segments across multiple applications.
The load independent proportional control valve and high performance actuator technology combined
with a low pressure drop design improves the machine performance and efficiency – increasing
productivity and reducing energy consumption.

Part numbers for PVHC Electro-Hydraulic Actuator types
The analog PVE Series 7 is an electro-hydraulic actuator used to control a single work section of a PVG
proportional valve group. The PVE Series 7 actuator program includes variants with different
performance levels and features for PVG 128/256.
The actuator positions the main spool in a PVG work section in order to control either the flow or the
pressure of the oil distributed to/from the work function. The control signal to the actuator is an analog
voltage signal, enabling the user to operate the work function remotely by means of a joystick, a
controller or the similar.
The electro-hydraulic solenoid valve bridge of the actuator is available in different designs utilizing
different regulation principles, depending on performance variant. The actuator positions the main spool
by distributing pilot oil pressure to either side of it, pressurizing one side by pilot pressure while relieving
the opposite side to tank and vice versa, as illustrated below. All proportional actuators feature a closedloop spool control and continuous fault monitoring.
The analog PVE Series 7 actuator program for PVG 128/256 features two different main hydraulic
principle variants (PVEO and PVEH). The different hydraulic principles combined with the different
solenoid valve regulation principles determine whether the actuator controls the spool proportionally
according to a demand signal or ON/OFF according to a voltage signal. The voltage control characteristic
of the PVE Series 7 actuators is shown in the figure below to the left.
The PVEO actuator is a non-proportional ON/OFF control actuator with open-loop spool control primarily
used to control simple ON/OFF work functions where a proportional control of speed or oil flow is not a
requirement
PVEO
PVEO functionality
The standard PVEO functionality includes the simplest electric circuit of the PVG 128/256 actuator
program, using a fixed 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc supply voltage or signal voltage and a simple LED circuit to
control the LED light indicating Power ON/OFF.
An energization of solenoid valve SV1 and a simultaneous de-energization of SV2 will cause the main
spool to move to the right direction and vice versa. If both SV1 and SV2 are energized or de-energized
simultaneously, the main spool stays locked in its neutral position.

The PVEH actuator is a proportional control actuator with closed-loop spool control primarily used to
control work functions with high performance requirements.
The PVEH functionality includes an electric circuit with a closed-loop logic. An embedded microcontroller
processes the signal voltage and the LVDT feedback signal and regulates the solenoid valves accordingly.
Features such as active or passive fault monitoring, LED indicating fault state, error output pin and Power
Save are all default PVEH features.
A continuous modulation of solenoid valves NC1 and NO4 together, with a simultaneous energization of
NO2 and de-energization of NC3, causes the main spool to move to the right direction and vice versa.
When the main spool is stroked to the far right, a simultaneous energization of both NO2 and NO4 and
de-energization of both NC1 and NC3 locks the main spool in its stroked position. An emergency stop
activated when the spool is stroked will cause all solenoid valves to de-energize causing the main spool
to move back to its neutral position by means of the main spool neutral spring and the hydraulic
principle.

‒
Passive and active fault monitoring refers to whether or not the actuator is reacting on the error when it
is detected.
Active fault monitoring
No matter what kind of error is detected, the solenoid valves will be disabled and the operation that the
valves/spool controls will stop immediately and spool will go to neutral position. Active fault monitoring
keeps a “memory” of the error, even if it is no longer registered. The active fault monitoring does not have
Auto Recovery because of this “memory” and a reboot/restart will therefore be required to reactivate the
solenoid valves.
With an active fault monitoring the following scenarios will take place when an error is detected/occurs:
•
The LED light will switch from green to red and the error pin output will go high
•
The solenoid valves will be disabled and the operation that the valves/spool controls will stop
immediately
•
The active fault monitoring does not have Auto Recovery, so when the error is fixed/no longer is
registered a reboot/restart of the PVE is required to reactivate it.
Generic Fault Reaction
Passive fault monitoring
Passive fault monitoring does not disable the solenoid valves when an error is detected. It will continue
to operate despite that an error was detected. When the error no longer is registered the passive fault
monitoring will “forget” the error and continue as if the error was never there.
With a passive fault monitoring the following conditions will happen when an error is detected/occurs:
The LED light will switch from green to red and the error pin output will go high
•
The solenoid valves will continue operating at the set point given at the time of the error
•
Only exception is if the error is caused by the supply voltage (UDC) being either above or below
‒
the allowed range or if the temperature measured on the internal electronics board is higher than
allowed. In these cases, the solenoid valves will be disabled.
All PVE actuators with fault monitoring are triggered by the following main events:
Control Signal Monitoring
Transducer/LVDT Supervision
Supervision of Spool Position
The Control signal voltage (US) is continuously monitored.
The permissible range is between 15% and 85% of the supply voltage (UDC).
Outside this range the PVE will switch into an error state. A disconnected U
pin (floating) is recognized as a neutral set point.
The internal LVDT wires are monitored. If the signals are interrupted or short-
circuited, the PVE will switch into an error state.
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 or in opposite direction, the PVE will switch into an error state.
Spool position closer to neutral and in same direction will not cause an error
Float position must be entered or left within a time limit.
A too high delay on the 1x6 pin float PVE will cause an error state – this is
relevant for the 1x6 pin PVEH-F actuators only.
Temperature Monitoring
When the temperature is too high the PVE LED will light constant red and
solenoid valves will be disabled.
All standard proportional actuator variants PVEH can be controlled by an analog signal voltage (Us) or a
PWM controlled signal voltage (Us) proportional to the supply voltage (Udc).

PWM Voltage Control
The PVEH actuator variants can be controlled by a PWM controlled signal voltage (Us) proportional to the
supply voltage (Udc).
The V1 and V2 must be symmetrical around Udc/2 and V1 must be equal to or less than Udc.
The Float A-Port functionality enables the proportional PVEH-FLA actuator variants to enter the main
spool into a float position. The PVE actuators with Float A-Port functionality is compatible with the
dedicated main spools with electronic float in A-port.

PVE Power Save
All proportional actuator variants feature a Power Save mode, de-energizing the solenoid valve bridge.
The Power Save mode is entered when the signal voltage (Us) and the LVDT spool position has been in
neutral for 750 ms. As soon as the signal voltage (Us) or the LVDT spool position is out of neutral the PVE
will leave its Power Save mode and re-energize the solenoid valve bridge as usual.
The Power Save mode results in increased power efficiency by reducing the current consumption of the
PVE actuators in neutral position. The Power Save mode has no effect on the performance of the PVE
actuator.

Dedicated Float Pin (UF)
The Dedicated Float Pin (UF) feature is related to the PVEH-FLA actuator variant enabling the user to
move the main spool into its float position by power. The PVEH-FLA uses 1x6 pin AMP orDEUTSCH
connectors.

Disable Mode
The PVEH-U actuator variants controlled by a fixed 0-10 VDC signal voltage (US), feature the ability to enter
a disable mode. This causes the counteracting force on the main spool created by the solenoid valve
bridge to deactivate, when using Manual OverRide (MOR).
The disable mode is entered by sending a signal voltage (Us) of 16.2% of 10 VDC when in Power Save.
