General Electronic Torque Control Information

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 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.

General Electronic Torque Control Information
Pump outlet pressure is equal to the load sense pressure, which is limited with the PRV, plus the margin pressure setting of the pump.

LS Signal Line Orifice

S45 Electronic Torque Limiting Controls require the use of an LS signal line orifice. The LS signal line orifice is used to enhance system stability, as well as allow the limiting of torque throughout the full range of pump pressure and flow. The standard 0.8 mm orifice is best suited for use in a wide variety of applications. Please contact your Danfoss representative for further information on the availability of additional LS signal line orifice sizes.

Electronic Torque Limiting Control Characteristic

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 Figure 1 for pressure vs. current information.

System Considerations when Implementing ETL

When setting up an ETL system to function properly, you must account for LS signal line orificing and margin erosion.

Electronic Torque Limiting and Load Sense Signals

Danfoss PVG valves, as well as many competitor valves, are manufactured with LS signal line orifices installed in the pump inlet (PVP) module. These orifices enhance system stability by dampening the highest load pressure signal before it is relayed to the open circuit pump. They also help limit the amount of flow over the load sense relief valve inside the PVP.
It is important to ensure that when using these LS line orifices the highest resolved load sense pressure is communicated to the pump or loss of some flow sharing functionality may occur. If you experience symptoms of loss of flow sharing, some troubleshooting steps may include removing the LS line orifice in the valve stack, or ensuring that the LS pressure rails are connected to each other when using two or more different valve stacks. In this way, the highest load from the system is communicated to the pump.

Electronic Torque Limiting and Margin Erosion

A potential flow sharing problem may arise when several functions are actuated at the same time and require a high flow demand from the pump. This problem may include a loss of movement in the highest pressure function when many functions are actuated at the same time. This problem is margin erosion.
Margin erosion is caused when margin pressure is shifted from the operator-controlled valves to the LS signal line orifice in the S45 pump. When this margin shifts too much, the valve cannot flow share correctly. Danfoss PVG valve groups reduce this problem with compensator valves which remain open at a very low margin pressure. This allows more aggressive torque limiting, particularly at low engine idle speeds where torque limiting is most critical.
In addition to using valves with superior low pressure flow sharing characteristics, it is possible to use calculations to identify problem areas where margin erosion can become a concern. Please contact your Danfoss representative for more information on calculating and planning for margin erosion.

General Angle Sensor Information

PLUS+1 Compliance

The Electric Angle Sensor has met and passed the Danfoss PLUS+1 compliance standard testing, and as such, this Angle Sensor is PLUS+1 compliant. PLUS+1 compliance blocks are available on the Danfoss website, within the PLUS+1 Guide section.

Angle Sensor Principle

The Series 45 Angle Sensor option allows users to measure the angle of pump displacement. The angle sensor is an electronic sensor mounted to the housing of the pump, which reads the pump stroke angle based on the swashplate position. Interfacing with the angle sensor is achieved through a 4-pin Deutsch DTM04-4P receptacle attached to a flexible connection cable (for a mating connector, use Deutsch® plug DTM06-4S). The sensor is mounted to the pump within an aluminum housing to prevent magnetic interference.

Angle Sensor Characteristics

The angle sensor package incorporates two sensor signals (primary & secondary), within a single sensor housing. This allows for improved accuracy and troubleshooting. For the ‘Angle Sensor – Right’ order code in the K module, the sensor is positioned according to the following conventions.

General Angle Sensor Information

J & F-Frame (45-90cc) Angle Sensor Identification Convention:

When looking at the input shaft with the control on the ‘top’ side, the angle sensor will be viewed on the right hand side. This convention is true for both Clockwise and Counter-clockwise rotation J & F-Frames.
This sensor location yields a unique voltage versus swashplate angle characteristic curve which is the same for both Clockwise and Counter-clockwise rotation J & F-frames. Although each pair of curves will be unique for individual pumps, a general example of what to expect is provided below for J & F units with the ‘Right’ angle sensor position.

General Angle Sensor Information

E-Frame (100-147cc) Angle Sensor Identification Convention:

The location convention for the E-Frame angle sensor is different from that of the J & F-Frame due to a difference in design of the endcap and servo systems. When looking at the input shaft, the angle sensor will be positioned on the same side as the outlet port of the endcap. The outlet port of the endcap is always the smaller of the inlet and outlet ports, indicated below. This is the ‘right side’ order code location, even though it appears on the left hand side from a frontal view.
Clockwise rotation E-frames appear with the control on the top side in this view. Counter-clockwise rotation E-Frames appear with the control on the bottom side in this view.
This sensor location yields a unique voltage versus swashplate angle characteristic curve which is different for Clockwise and Counter-clockwise rotation E-frames. Although each pair of curves will be unique for individual pumps, a general example of what to expect is provided below for both Clockwise and Counter-clockwise rotation units with the Right angle sensor position.

Potentiometers, Pressure Transducers, and the PumpTorqCalc Function Block

Potentiometer
It is possible to use a potentiometer to control the torque limiting signal for ETL setup purposes. Use a 1k­ohm potentiometer with a 120-ohm resistor on the +V and –V ends.
Pressure transducer
Using a pressure transducer allows the ETL service tool to report actual torque and power consumed by the S45 pump via the PumpTorqCalc Funcion Block. The PumpTorqCalc function block is an optional part of the ETL system, and it allows the user to report real-time data on a graphical display terminal to help equipment operators understand and improve operating efficiencies or share data between subsystems to coordinate power sharing.
For more detailed information on the PumpTorqCalc Function Block, see Work Function Control Blocks Library (L1313265).
Danfoss recommends using the MBS1250 Heavy Duty Pressure Transducer with a measuring range of 0 to 400 bar [5800 psi]. For information on this transducer, see MBS1250 Heavy Duty Pressure Transmitter Product Electrical Installation (11062087).

ETL Service Tool Setup

This section describes the ETL functions that are required for the ETL system to operate, including how to set up each ETL function.
To set up each ETL function, you will make changes to each function's respective ETL Service Tool screen, similar to the screen shown in Typical ETL Service Tool Screen.
The following steps are required in order for the ETL system to operate.
1. Calibrate Angle Sensor a. Establish the Minimum Pump Displacement on page 20 b. Establish the Maximum Pump Displacement with Engine Off on page 21
or
Establish the Maximum Pump Displacement with Engine Running on page 21
2. Define Pump Displacement on page 23
3. Perform RPM Input Setup on page 24
4. Calibrate Torque Potentiometer on page 25
5. Select Pressure Sensor Setup on page 26
6. Establish Torque Limit Profile
Establish Torque Limit Profile with Torque Curve on page 28
or
Establish Torque Limit Profile without Torque Curve on page 28

Angle Sensor Calibration

A fundamental step in setting up ETL is to calibrate your angle sensor. The calibration will ensure accurate angle sensor voltage readings based on maximum and minimum pump displacements (swashplate angles).
Calibration does not inform the software what the physical maximum displacement of the pump is in terms of engineering units. This is done in the Pump Setup Parameters screen, and the correct calibration of the angle sensor is independent of the Max Pump Displacement input.
It is possible when calibrating the angle sensor that the Minimum Displacement Voltage is greater than the Maximum Displacement Voltage. This is due to the different relationships between swashplate angle and voltage for J and F-frames versus E-frame pumps. For more information, see the Angle Sensor
Characteristics on page 10.

Establish the Minimum Pump Displacement

To establish the minimum displacement of the pump, you must operate the pump at either the Low Pressure Standby Condition (LPSB) or the High Pressure Standby Condition (HPSB).
For the best results, calibrate and compare using both LPSB and HPSB to achieve the lowest (or highest, for CW E-frame units) captured voltages.

User Manual
ETL Service Tool Setup
It is important to compare the minimum displacement voltage readings at both LPSB and HPSB. Generally, the swashplate angle is lower at LPSB because there are lower leakages at lower pressures, so lower displacements are required to make up the leakages. This is not true when some flow is allowed past the main valve block at LPSB. Then, HPSB conditions become preferred. Although the leakages are higher at higher pressures, the increase in flow due to leakages is lower than the flow allowed by the main valve.
1. Set the engine at full operating speed.
The engine must be operated at full speed to prevent an inaccurate displacement reading.
2. If the ETL is not disabled in the System Overview screen, toggle ETL Control to Disabled. The control current should approximate 0 mA.
3. Operate the pump at one or both of the following conditions.

Use when the machine’s main valve block completely shuts off flow to any downstream components (zero flow needed by machine functions/valves from pump)
Use when the machine’s main valve block does not completely shut off flow to all downstream components (some small flow needed by machine functions/valves from pump at all times, even with no operator command)
a) If using LPSB, let the machine stand at full engine speed without operating any functions.
This allows the pump to de-stroke naturally because no flow is commanded from the pump, and system pressures will be only slightly higher than the pump’s LS setting.
b) If using HPSB, operate a machine function over a hard-stop and reach full pressure compensator
(PC) setting with system pressure. This allows the pump to de-stroke by porting high pressure oil to servo.
From the Angle Sensor Calibration screen while maintaining either LPSB or HPSB:
4. Click Minimum Pump Displacement > Capture Voltage.

Establish the Maximum Pump Displacement with Engine Off

1. Turn off the machine.
2. Momentarily jog the starter to turn the pump shaft a few revolutions, without actually running the
engine. This allows the pump’s swashplate to return to its naturally spring biased full-stroke position by
overcoming residual pressure and friction in the swashplate and servo system.
From the Angle Sensor Calibration screen:
3. Click Maximum Pump Displacement > Capture Voltage.

Establish the Maximum Pump Displacement with Engine Running

The engine must be operated at full speed to prevent an inaccurate displacement reading.
1. Operate the pump in a full displacement, full flow, and low load machine condition.
a) Operate engine at full operating speed.
b) Command a single high flow function or multiple machine functions simultaneously while
remaining below the pump’s pressure compensator setting (low system pressure).
Do not reach or exceed the pressure compensator setting or the pump will begin to de-stroke and reduce its displacement and render a bad maximum displacement reading.

From the Pressure Sensor Setup screen:
2. Toggle Pressure Sensor Enable to Enabled.
The Torque Limit Profile is the heart of an ETL system. It is what defines how a machine reacts to torque loads, and it has an infinite number of tuning possibilities. It allows you to define how the system limits torque consumed by the open circuit hydraulic system.
The most basic torque profile will reference a graph of engine torque available vs. engine speed from the engine manufacturer. However, this basic profile may not always be the best profile, and such detailed engine information might be difficult to obtain.
It is important to realize that the user can tune the reactivity of the ETL system by how closely the 7 input points match the actual torque available from the engine. Torque values which exactly match the available torque from the engine may yield a system which allows for noticeable engine speed reactions (engine bog or droop) as torque limiting takes over. This generally occurs because the pump’s input torque requirements may increase much more rapidly than the engine’s torque output.
However, torque values which are set slightly lower than the actual available engine torque provide some margin between the limited torque and the actual torque. This combats any reactivity from the engine at all, and gives the operator the setup with the lowest potential for noticeable engine speed changes.
The desired amount of engine reaction is subjective and can vary for different applications. You can create a Torque Limit Profile with or without a torque curve. A torque curve is highly
recommended for best optimization, but it is not necessary.

Establish Torque Limit Profile with Torque Curve

The following steps establish a torque limit profile if a known engine torque curve is available. From the Torque Limit Profile Setup screen:
1. Set the engine Speed Inputs (Speed 1–7) at which you wish to limit torque. For example, set the lowest engine idle speed, highest engine idle speed, and five equally spaced points between the two.
2. Set the Torque Inputs (Torque 1–7). To do this, normalize the engine's torque values to reflect the pump's maximum consumable torque.
That is, divide the available engine torque by the pump’s maximum consumable torque to get a Pump Torque Setpoint percentage.
For example, if your engine’s available torque at 950 rpm is 196 N-m, and a 75cc J-frame pump operating at a pressure limit of 240 bar will consume 302 N-m of torque, then 196 / 302 = 65%. This is the Pump Torque Setpoint required at 950 rpm. Continue using this method for all 7 torque setpoints.
After establishing a torque limit profile, the torque setpoints may still require adjustment to achieve the desired engine/machine reactivity. See Adjust Torque Setpoints on page 29.

Establish Torque Limit Profile without Torque Curve

The following steps establish a torque limit profile if an engine torque curve is not available. It uses a guess-and-check method.
From the Torque Limit Profile Setup screen:
1. Set the engine Speed Inputs (Speed 1–7) at speeds which you wish to limit torque. For example, set the lowest engine idle speed, highest engine idle speed, and five equally spaced points between the two.
2. Set the Torque Inputs (Torque 1–7) . The following steps are one suggestion.
a) Pick the lowest engine speed and set the machine at this condition.
b) Operate the machine through various high-torque consumption cycles.
c) Adjust the torque limit setpoint to achieve the desired level of torque limiting (some, or virtually
none, engine reaction/bog). The reactiveness is affected by how close the pump’s allowed torque is relative to the engine’s
available torque.
After establishing a torque limit profile, the torque setpoints may still require adjustment to achieve the desired engine/machine reactivity. See Adjust Torque Setpoints on page 29.

Adjust Torque Setpoints

After establishing a torque limit profile, the torque setpoints may still require adjustment to achieve the desired engine/machine reactivity.
Adjust the torque setpoints using one of the following options.
Option Steps
Torque Inputs
Torque Setpoint Curve
Torque Potentiometer
The torque potentiometer has been shown to greatly reduce the process time to adjust torque setpoints and fine tune the torque profile.

Considerations for Establishing the Torque Limit Profile

The amount of torque limiting required may be objective or subjective
Objective examples
Killing the machine vs. not killing the machine Not allowing the engine to droop more than ‘XXXX’ rpm below desired idle speed Not allowing the engine to droop to a certain sound criteria Allowing the engine to droop to a certain sound criteria Not allowing the pump to drop below a certain flow requirement based on a pressure criteria
(necessary function speed under no load)
Subjective examples
Operator must be able to experience some engine reactivity to perceive machine work Operator skill allows for smaller margin between available engine torque and pump torque
consumed Operator does not want machine to slow down too much
The amount of torque consumed by the open circuit pump system does not account for the torque consumed by the closed circuit pump system
Propel vs. work functions
A specific machine function may require more or less torque depending on environmental conditions
Cold weather vs. hot weather oil viscosity

Boost Mode

Boost Setup Screen
The features in this section are not required for an ETL system to function. These features enhance or adjust system performance and functionality.
Boost mode, or ETL override, allows the user to configure an operator interface to enable or disable ETL. One example is a momentary switch incorporated into an interface such as a joystick.
The pre-keyed MC012 does not allow both the torque potentiometer and the boost mode functionality to be used at the same time. To use boost mode, the potentiometer functionality must be disabled, and vice versa. The engine will not be protected from stalling while boost mode is enabled.
One benefit of boost mode includes artificially creating a pressure setting that is lower than the pump’s physical pressure compensator setting. As a result, you can achieve extra pressure capability on command by enabling or disabling ETL and creating an extra power level.

Command Filter Setup

The Command Filter Setup screen allows for possible filtering of control current signals if there are pressure oscillations. The ETL system, by default, sets the command control filter to zero, which means it is disabled.
If the command control filter is used, the filter values can be increased until the unwanted oscillations reach an acceptable level.
Command filter setup is only necessary if unwanted instability or oscillations occur when ETL is active. The time constant sets the cutoff frequency for a first order low pass exponential filter.
Determining the frequency of oscillations can help give you a starting point for the time constant: fc = 1/ (2*pi*t).
