DefinitionThe Model 506.62/.72 Hydraulic Power Supply (HPS) uses a variable-
volume (pressure compensated) main pump, with a pressurized
(supercharged) hydraulic fluid inlet, to provide pressure to systems
with various flow requirements. The HPS is designed to be used with
servo-controlled, electro-hydraulic systems.
1.1Functional Description
Front panel controls
and indicators
Pressure output
Front panel controls on the HPS include local operating controls for the
main pump and supercharge pump. Front panel indicators show running
time, power on, low fluid level, fluid over-temperature, and dirty filter
conditions.
Pressure output is controlled by an adjustment on the main pump and is
monitored by the output pressure gage. An adjustable back-up relief
valve limits output pressure by porting fluid back to the reservoir when
the output pressure rises above the relief valve setting. High/low
pressure operation is controlled by the high/low solenoid valves.
These valves control the main pressure control (pressure compensator)
vent ports and the backup relief valve vent port.

Introduction 1-1
Page 6
Pressure accumulationThe pump-outlet pressure accumulator smooths the HPS output and
provides additional hydraulic pressure for high instantaneous flow
demands. It is precharged with dry nitrogen to a pressure proportional
to HPS output pressure. The optional slow turn-on accumulator slows
the rate at which the backup relief valve shifts from low to high
pressure.
Temperature controlA temperature gage indicates hydraulic fluid temperature. An
oil-to-water heat exchanger controls the fluid temperature. When the
temperature exceeds a preset limit, a temperature sensitive switch
turns off the HPS and lights the front panel Fluid Over-Temperature
indicator.
Fluid level indicationA transparent gage indicates the level of hydraulic fluid in the HPS
reservoir. A low-level switch automatically turns off the HPS and
lights the front panel Low Fluid Level indicator if hydraulic fluid
drops below a preset level.
Programmable logic
controller
The PLC (programmable logic controller) located in the starter
assembly performs logic functions. The I/O (input/output) section of the
PLC provides an interface for various signals received from or sent to
external devices.
The required water pressure between the input and the output of the
heat exchanger is 30 to 45 psi (0.2 to 0.3 MPa). The maximum allowable
pressure is 120 psi (0.8 MPa). The flow rate (±20%) at a given
temperature is shown in the table below.

3.1.2Hydraulic Fluid
Regular maintenance of hydraulic fluid maximizes the service life of
the system and its components.
Daily fluid checksCheck the fluid-level in the transparent gage. A low level can indicate
a leak. A high level can indicate water contamination from the heat
exchanger. If the fluid appears to have changed significantly, obtain a
sample from the HPS reservoir and check it for the following qualities:
•Considerable darkness, burnt odor, or an opaque quality of the
fluid indicates chemical breakdown. It may also indicate that the
fluid temperature was too high. Replace the fluid.
•During operation, a milky appearance indicates water is present in
the fluid. If the system is not in operation, water separates from
the hydraulic fluid and settles at the bottom of the reservoir. If
water contamination is present, correct the source of the water
leakage and replace the hydraulic fluid.
Monthly fluid checksPerform these checks monthly or every 150 operating hours (whichever
comes first).
•Keep records of the maximum reservoir temperature. High
operating temperatures can cause the fluid to break down.
Yearly (every 500
operating hours) fluid
checks
•Check for contamination and fluid breakdown. Take a fluid sample
and test the pH level using a pH kit (available from chemical
stores). Also, check the sample for color and odor.
•Take a fluid sample and let it stand overnight. Sediment at the
bottom of the fluid indicates collapsed, ruptured or clogged filters.
Obtain a sample of the fluid and have it analyzed. The fluid tests
should include chemical analysis, particle count, and viscosity checks.
Record the results and replace the fluid if necessary.

7.Replace the high-pressure filter element. See Subsection 3.1.1.1.
8.Replace the low-pressure filter element. See Subsection 3.1.1.2.
To avoid damage to the hydraulic system, follow these precautions:
Do not mix different brands of hydraulic fluid. This can create
contaminants. Ensure that the replacement hydraulic fluid is the same
brand and type as the fluid which was removed. Generally, an MTS
Hydraulic Power Supply contains Mobil DTE 25 hydraulic fluid.
Consult MTS before you use alternate fluids.
Use a transfer pump that provides 10-micron or better filtration. Most
commercial hydraulic fluids exceed the maximum amount of
contamination allowable in MTS hydraulic systems.
9.Use the transfer pump to fill the reservoir with fresh hydraulic
fluid.
10.To flush out the pipe line, connect a hose from the pressure line to
the return line of the last station, and operate the HPS at low
pressure for 2 - 4 hours.
11. Replace the high-pressure filter element if necessary (Subsection
3.1.1.1).

pressure every four weeks or 200 operating hours.
Precharge pressure of the slow turn-on accumulator must be checked at
regular intervals. To establish an interval time, follow this procedure:
1.Initially, check the precharge pressure after 2 weeks or 100operating hours.
2.If there is a pressure-level change of more than 50%, check the
precharge pressure every week or 50 operating hours.
If there is a pressure-level change of less than 50%, check the
precharge pressure every four weeks or 200 operating hours.
3.1.3.2 Precharging the Accumulators
If the pressure accumulator has a pressure-level change of ±200 psi
between checks, recharge it. If the slow turn-on accumulator has a
pressure-level change of ±50% between checks, recharge it.
The pressure and slow turn-on accumulators are typically precharged to
1000 psi (7 MPa) and 800 psi (5.5 MPa), respectively. These are the
recommended levels for an HPS output pressure of 3000 psi (21 MPa).
3.1.3.3 Changing the Accumulator Seals
When you have established a regular interval for checking the
precharge pressure, note the amount of pressure loss that occurs each
time the precharge pressure is checked. If an increase in pressure loss
occurs during the period between checks, the seals may require
replacement.

The HPS is operated from a three-phase electrical power source. The
operating voltage is labeled on the outside of the starter assembly and
on the pump motor.
Before you begin
Install a fused power disconnect switch (customer supplied). This
switch removes electrical power to the HPS. Local codes dictate the
type of switch to be used. Electrical connections must be made by
qualified personnel and conform to local codes and regulations.
When the electrical connections have been made, high voltage is
present in the starter assembly when power is on. Do not open the
starter box door with power applied to the HPS.
Touching components with high voltage can cause death.
Remove electrical power at the power disconnect switch before you open
the front starter box door.

Main and supercharge
pumps
FiltersHydraulic fluid from the low-pressure filter is routed to the main
High/low solenoid valveHigh/low pressure operation is controlled by the high/low solenoid
The HPS uses a variable-volume pressure compensated main pump,
with a pressurized (supercharged) hydraulic fluid inlet to provide
fluid flow. The supercharge pump draws hydraulic fluid from the
reservoir and forces it through a heat exchanger and a low-pressure
filter. Fluid not required by the main pump returns to the reservoir
through check valves in the low-pressure filter manifold.
pump. A low-inlet pressure switch monitors the inlet pressure
(supercharge output pressure) to the main pump.
Fluid from the main pump outlet passes through a check valve and a
10-micron high-pressure filter. The output pressure is controlled by the
pressure compensator adjustment on the main pump and is monitored by
the output pressure gage. Output volume varies automatically with
external circuit demand.
fluid back to the reservoir. When the pump compensator is operating
normally, the relief valve does not open.
valve. This valve controls the backup relief valve vent port.
With the high/low solenoid valve de-energized, the back-up relief
valve vent port is open and output volume is ported to the reservoir,
limiting output pressure to approximately 150 psi (1.03 MPa). This
low-pressure condition occurs during supply turn-on for low pressure
start-up and during power-up of the HPS.
With the high/low solenoid valve energized, the vent port is blocked
and system pressure can rise to the preset operating pressure, typically
3000 psi (21 MPa).
Fluid temperatureHydraulic fluid temperature is maintained at a recommended
operating level by a fluid-to-water heat exchanger which passes the
fluid over water-filled tubes. Water flow through the tubes is
automatically regulated by a solenoid valve which is controlled by a
programmable logic controller (PLC). If fluid temperature exceeds a
preset limit (typically 140°F), a temperature-sensitive switch turns the
HPS off.
The fluid level and temperature gage on the HPS is used for reference
only. Use a laboratory grade thermometer to set the temperature.
5-2 Theory of Operation
Page 37
Pump protectionPump protection is provided for the main pump by the main pump
low-inlet pressure switch that turns the supply off if supercharge
pressure drops below the recommended operating pressure. The
supercharge pump and main pump are protected by a fluid-level
switch, which turns the supply off if the level of hydraulic fluid in the
reservoir drops below a preset level.
Pressure accumulationThe pump-outlet pressure accumulator smooths the HPS output and
provides additional hydraulic pressure for high instantaneous flow
demands. It is precharged with dry nitrogen to a pressure proportional
to HPS output pressure. The optional slow turn-on accumulator slows
the rate at which the backup relief valve shifts from low to high
pressure. The precharge must be adjusted proportionally to the HPS
output pressure. If it is above or below the recommended level, the
effect of the accumulator is reduced.
5.2Electrical Operation
This section provides the HPS electrical theory of the operation.
Figure 5-2 is a typical electrical schematic for the 506.62/.72 HPS.
HPS operation is controlled by a PLC (programmable logic controller).
It is designed so that a desired circuit in relay ladder logic can be
programmed. The PLC provides logic functions previously
accomplished by relays, timers and sequencers. It contains an I/O
section that receives input data from various switches and contacts that
are hardwired to the input terminals. The PLC sends output commands
to motors, motor starters, solenoid valves and indicator lights that are
hardwired to the output terminals. The PLC operating program is
retained by an EPROM memory module. A back-up battery is not
required.
5.2.1Control
When the disconnect switch is closed, the HPS control panel Power On
indicator lights to show that electrical power to the HPS is on.
Inlet pressureWhen the High/Low/Start switch is positioned to Start, relay 1M at
PLC output 111 energizes to start the supercharge motor. Contacts 1M
provide the supercharge motor status to PLC input 013. The
supercharge motor provides inlet pressure for the main pump. When
the inlet pressure is reached (typically 15 psi), pressure switch 1PS
(connected from the outlet of the supercharge pump to PLC input 012)
closes to start the pump motor.
Start controlThe start signal is sent to input 002 of the PLC. If various conditions
(such as interlocks) are satisfied, the start signal is routed to output 104
of the PLC to energize the main pump motor start control relay (1CR).
Theory of Operation 5-3
Page 38
Pump motorWhen 1CR contacts close, the main pump motor starts, using a
Wye-delta start. First relay 1S energizes to close 1S contacts and
energize relay 2M (1M contacts close). Relays 2M and 1S provide a wye
connection (this reduces inrush current) to start the main pump motor.
After a timing delay that the PLC provides, output 105 energizes relay
2CR. The state of all 2CR contacts change to de-energize 1S and
energize 3M. Relays 2M and 3M connect the motor windings in a delta
configuration to provide full current to the motor. A set of 3M contacts
provides the motor status to the PLC at input 014.
High pressureWhen the HPS High/Low/Start switch is positioned to High, high
pressure is selected by energizing high-pressure solenoid 1 SOL for the
main pump.
Stop controlWhen stop switch 1PB at PLC input 003 is pressed, the main pump
motor is turned off. The supercharge pump motor, however, continues to
run for approximately 10 seconds.
Emergency stop controlPressing Emergency Stop turns off the HPS by de-energizing relay CRM.
CRM contacts open to cut off power to the motor starter. The
supercharge pump may continue to run briefly while the main pump
winds down.
24 Vdc operationThe HPS includes a 24 Vdc electrical power supply for operating
solenoid valves, relays and the PLC. Current available for external use
is listed in the specifications table. All solenoid valves connected to
this supply must be rated at 24 Vdc. If the 115 Vac control voltage
option is required, all solenoid valves connected to the supply must also
be rated at 115 Vac.
5-4 Theory of Operation
Page 39
5.2.2Interlocks
The HPS contains interlock circuitry to shut down the HPS when
various conditions occur—such as low level hydraulic fluid, overtemperature, low pressure, dirty filters and motor overload.
ResetWhen the interlock condition has been corrected and the HPS is
restarted, Reset switch 2PB at PLC input 006 must be pressed to reset
the interlock circuitry.
Low-level hydraulic fluidLow fluid level switch 1FS protects the HPS if there is an appreciable
loss of hydraulic fluid. Whenever the level of hydraulic fluid in the
HPS reservoir drops below a preset limit, switch 1FS (at PLC input 007)
opens to turn off the pump motor, and disable the supercharge pump if it
is in the Start/Run mode. PLC output 100 generates the interlock. PLC
output 108 lights the Low Fluid Level indicator on the HPS front panel.

Whenever the temperature of the hydraulic fluid in the HPS reservoir
exceeds a preset limit, switch 1TAS (at PLC input 008) opens to turn off

below the minimum level required by the main pumps. Switch 1PS (at
PLC input 012) closes whenever low-inlet pressure drops below a preset
limit (typically 50 psi). Closing 1PS while the pump motor is
operating, turns off the HPS. The supercharge pump, however, can be
operated in the Start/Run mode.
Whenever the temperature of the hydraulic fluid exceeds a preset
limit, switch 2TAS (at PLC input 000) opens to energize water-inlet
solenoid 2SOL (at PLC output 107). This solenoid controls the water
valve allowing water into the heat exchanger to cool the hydraulic
fluid.
input 001). When a dirty filter creates excessive differential pressure
across the filter, switch 2PS opens. PLC output 102 generates the
interlock. PLC output 110 lights the Dirty Filter indicator on the HPS
front panel. If the indicator is active when the HPS shutdowns, Reset
must be pressed (after the filter is replaced) to restart the HPS.
Motor overloadThermal overload sensors detect excessive current and open the
normally closed contacts connected to the motor starter coil. Motor
overload relay contacts 1OL and 2OL at PLC input 009 open to turn off
the HPS off if the supercharge or main pump motor draws excessive
current. When an overload condition occurs, the reset button on the
motor overload relay must be pressed (see Subsection 3.3.1).
