Operation Manual

Prop. Directional Control Valve

Series D*FB / D*1FB

Use of the product

The product must only be used if it is perfect in
working order. Problems that may impair safety
must be corrected.

This product is a safety component that may
only be repaired by the manufacturer if it mal­functions. If the safety components are re­paired by the user, the manufacturer's war­ranty is invalidated because the
manufacturer is demonstrably unable to en­sure that the product is used as specified.

Limits of use

The product may only be operated within the spec­ified limits of use. The relevant details can be found
in „Technical data“.

Ambient conditions must be observed. Un­authorized temperatures, shocks, the effects
of aggressive chemicals, radiation, unauthor­ized electromagnetic emissions may result in
disruptions and failures. Observe the limits
of operation set out in „Technical data”.

Contaminations

Function and service life of the valve are heavi­ly dependent on the purity and quality of the pres­sure fluid and depend upon the operating condi­tions of the hydraulic components. Appropriate filters
must be used and regular inspections of the medi­um must be carried out to prevent contamination
of the pressure fluid. Permitted level of contamina­tion is set out in the „Technical data“.

Be aware of three important sources of con­tamination:

• Contaminations entering during installation

• Contaminations occurring during operation

• Dirt entering from the surroundings

Leaking plugs

Leaking plugs can cause a malfunction. That
is why the plugs must be checked for leaks
at the regular maintenance interval. Leaking
plugs may constitute a safety hazard, so the
valve must be returned to Parker for repair.

Lightning

If electronic components are exposed to elec­tromagnetic fields as a result of lightning, they
must be checked to ensure they are still work­ing perfectly. If there is a malfunction, the
product must be returned to Parker.

Temperature

The surface of our product may heat up in use.

The service temperatures may exceed the
temperature threshold for burn injury, 70 °C.
Above this threshold, even brief contact with
the surface may result in a burn. The only way
to consistently prevent burn injuries is to use
personal protective equipment and to remain
safety-conscious at all times.

If integrated electronics are exposed to a tem­perature above 80 °C, they may malfunction.

Power failure

In a power failure the valve piston returns to
the spring centred starting position. You must
check whether this creates potential hazards
when the system/machine is used.

Hydraulic

D*FB/D*1FB valves are tested and approved with
an even flow. If the flow becomes asymmetrical,
the safety function of the valve may be compro­mised. You should therefore carry out tests before
commissioning to verify that the valve is in good
working order.

Remaining risks

Allergic reactions

Hydraulic oil can cause allergic reactions on sus­ceptible skin. This can be prevented by taking the
precautions that are usual when handling miner­al oil products and by using personal protective
equipment.

D_FB-D_1FB_10-12 5715-669 UK.indd 25.06.19

If the valve piston has been under pressure and
stationary in the end position for an extended pe­riod, oil particles may cause the piston to seize. For
this reason the valve should be actuated regularly.

The backshell nut of the cable gland has to be tight­en with a suitable tool. The target value for the tight­ening torque is 4 Nm. Tighten the cap nut with a
torque of approx. 5 Nm after attaching the female
connector on the socket outlet.

Incomplete tightening of backshell nut resp.
cap nut may result in automatic release of the
connection as well as degradation of the wa­ter tightness.

Follow the “instructions for use“ for installa-

tion of female connectors made by other kind
of brands!

The cable connection to the female connec­tor has to take place by qualified personnel!
A short between individual conductors resp.
to the connector housing , bad soldering as
well as improper shield connection may re­sult in malfunction and breakdown of the
valve.

The mounting surface of the valve has to be
carefully tied to the earth grounded machine
frame. The earth ground wire from the valve
connecting cable as well as the cable shield
have to be tied to the protective earth termi­nal within the control unit. It is necessary to
use a low ohmic potential connection between
control unit and machine frame to prevent
earth loops (cross section AWG6 > 10 mm²).

For the workmanlike termination of the crimp
contacts the tool # 932 507-001 – supplier:
Hirschmann – is required.

Do not disconnect cable socket under ten­sion!

Operation Manual

Electrical interfacing

Supply voltage:

The supply voltage for the valve has to cover the
range of 18...30 V. The residual ripple may not ex­ceed 5 % eff.

The applied power supply must comply to the
relevant regulations (DIN EN 61558) and must
carry a CE-mark. The operating voltage for
the valve must be free of inductive surges.
Do not exceed the max. value of 30 V Non­observance of this rule may result in perma­nent damaging of the valve.

The increased inrush current of the valve
should be considered when selecting the pow­er supply. A stabilized power supply with over­current limiting feature should not be used.
Due to the inrush current of the valve the cur­rent limit circuit may respond prematurely and
create problems during energizing of the sup­ply voltage.

Wiring diagram of supply voltage
Code F0/M0/S0/G0 (6 + PE)

Prop. Directional Control Valve

Series D*FB / D*1FB

The operation of the valve is blocked if the

supply voltage polarity is interchanged.

Each valve requires a separate pre-fuse (rat-

ing: s. techn. data). Non-observance of this
instruction may create irreparable damage of
valve resp. incorporated system parts.

Prop. Directional Control Valve

Operation Manual

Command signal input:
The command signal for the valve will be connect­ed to the difference signal input of the electronic
driver. The solenoid current behaves proportional to
the command signal amplitude. Different versions of
command signal processing are available, depend­ing on the valve type. These are described below:
For the function description is assumed as signal
reference (0V):
Code F0/M0/S0/G0: pin E, Code W5: pin 5

Details are shown from the technical specifi-

cations.

The command input signal needs to be filte-

red as well as free of inductive surges and
modulations. Due to the sensitivity of the val­ve a high signal quality is recommended, this
will prevent malfunction.

Incorrect signal amplitude levels may disturb

the functionality and can damage the valve.

The option 4...20 mA uses the “0 mA“ condi-

tion as breakdown-information. This means
the presence of an evaluable failure informa­tion if the input signal line is interrupted. In
this case the actuator drive will be switched
off. The drive will switch on when the input si­gnal reaches a value of 3.8 mA, it switches
off when the command falls below 3.6 mA.
This determination follows the NAMUR-spe­cification NE43.

NAMUR is an association of users of process

control technology.

Recall channels for internal command preset

Up to six corresponding inputs are provided for
channel recall of internal command presets. The
conjunction

options of the internal command channels may be
selectable via the parameter E21. The following op­tions are

provided:

• priority dependent

• additive

At priority dependent channel recall the channel
with the lowest numerical designation has priority
against other

simultaneously adressed preset channels.

Example: Channels S1, S2, S3 are adressed.

Channel S1 has priority, the corre­sponding internal command will be
assessed as input signal.

The preset channels have priority against the an­alog signal input for the external command.

At additive channel recall the internal signal presets
of the recall channels as well as a possible signal
at the external signal input will be added. The sum
of the signal values is limited at 100%.

Examp le 1: Channel S1 = +50%, channel S2 = +20%,

external input signal = +5V (= +50%). The
sum is +120%, in this case +100% input
signal will be assessed.

Examp le 2: Channel S1 = +50%, channel S2 = +20%,

external input signal = -5V (= -50%). The
sum is +20%, in this case +20% input
signal will be assessed.

The preset channels are switched through during
the signal trigger at the dedicated inputs.

More details are shown from the technical

data.

The channel recall signals needs to be filte-

red as well as free of inductive surges and
modulations. To prevent malfunctions a high
signal quality is recommended.

ProPxD parametrizing software

The ProPxD software allows quick and easy setting
of the digital valve electronics. Individual parame­ters as well as complete settings can be viewed,
changed and saved via the comfortable user inter­face. Parameter sets saved in the non-volatile mem­ory can be loaded to other valves of the same type
or printed out for documentation purposes.

See www.parker.com/isde section “Support” or di­rectly at www.parker.com/propxd for free software

Hardware requirements

• PC with operating system from Windows® XP
upwards

• Interface RS232C

• display resolution min. 800 x 600

• connection cable between PC and electron­ic module

• storage requirement approx. 40 MB

Cable specification

The cable which is required for the connection of
the valve electronic to a PC may be ordered un­der code 40982923. The cable has to be inserted
between an unused serial port of the PC and the
5pole socket connector of the valve electronic (pa­rametrizing connector).

Attention! The valve electronic provides no

USB interface, but can only be parametrized
via an RS232 - connection. Therefore the us­age of USB standard cables is permitted and
may result in damaging of valve resp. PC.

Parametrizing cable

Ordering code: 40982923

Parametering interface

If your PC has no serial interface according

to RS232 standard, you require in addition
an USB-RS232 adapter for connection to the
USB interface.

D_FB-D_1FB_10-12 5715-669 UK.indd 25.06.19

The cover plug has to be re-installed after

completion of the parametrizing work.

Operation Manual

Program installation

Please check before installation if the above hard­ware requirements are met. If your PC has already
stored an older version of the “ProPxD” program, it
has to be deinstalled by using the Windows® sys­tem control feature.

Program installation sequence:

• terminate the execution of other programs

• execute the file “setup.exe”

• follow the instructions on the screen

Answer the question, if an older version should be
overwritten, with “ok”. During the installation you may
change destination drive resp. installation path, if
needed. Please answer “ok” if at the end of the in­stallation the program reports any system informa­tion. After successful installation the desktop display
shows the ProPxD icon for starting the program.

Software operating

Brief instruction for first startup:

•

Connect the valve electronic to the supply voltage.

• Connect the valve electronic to a PC via the pa­rametrizing cable.

• Start the operating program.

•

After displaying the program resp. data base ver­sion a program window opens and the connect­ed valve will be automatically identified (possibly
a manual identification via the button “Receive
all” is necessary).

• Select the desired version via the menu “Op­tions/Optionen” with the menu item “Language/
Sprache”.

•

The valve specific default parameters are already
available within the parameter table.

•

Individual parameters may be selected via
mouse or the arrow buttons at the center of the
program screen.

• Parameter changes are possible via mouse or
the arrow buttons on the bottom left within the
program screen, also the parameter values may
be edited via the keyboard.

• Modified parameters will be stored via the “En­ter” key or via the button “Update list”.

•

Parameters have to be nonvolatile stored on the
valve via the button "save parameter".

Prop. Directional Control Valve

Series D*FB / D*1FB

•

The chosen parameters may be optionally stored
on the PC via the “File”-menu with the menu
item “Save as”, data retrieving is always possi­ble via the function “Load file”

Extended functions

The user software is shared into 2 parameter ranges:

• basic mode

• expert mode

For normal startup the basic mode is absolutely suf­ficient. It permits the setting of all application spe­cific parameters to match the valve function with
the task setting. In case of special applications the
valve parameters may be adapted via the expert
mode. The operating mode may be selected from
the “Options”- menu and remains after terminating
and re-start of the program.

Changing of expert parameters is only per-

mitted for qualified personnel. Incorrect set­tings may lead to malfunction! In case of pa­rameter changes shut the drive down!

The expert mode is protected by a pass word re­quest. The name is “parker”. The button “Send param­eter” appears in the “Expert”-operating mode. This
button transmits only the setting of one single pa­rameter to the connected valve. Thus a quick tuning
of single parameters is permitted during the setup.

A horizontal bar graph readout between the

communication buttons shows the data trans­fer state.

Because the ProPxD program has also offline

(i.e. without connection to the valve) function­ality, a manual pre-selection of the parame­ters is possible. After selection of the valve
type via the menu “Options” the parameters
may be set and stored for later transmission.
Note the design series while selection of the
valve!

The “File” menu provides the functions “Printer set­up”, “Print preview” and “Print”. The print preview
includes the option for parameter set storage as
text file (format.txt) prior to further processing. The
“Options” menu provides also the selection of the
RS232C interface port via the menu item “Port”. Via
the menu item “Load file” previously stored param­eter sets may be loaded.

Operation

If any of the safety features of the product are
not operational, the system/machine must be
shut down immediately.

Do not carry out any activities that might jeop­ardize safety.

Note also the information in sections “Warranty and
liability”, “Use of operating instructions)”, “Compli­ance with other rules and instructions”, “Personnel
requirements”, “Remaining risks”.

Modification

We define modification as the replacement of a de­fective valve with a new valve of the same series.
In particular, it is not permitted to open the valve.

Make sure that the hydraulic system/machine
is unpressurised before the product is in­stalled/removed.

Service/maintenance

Service work may only be carried out by qual­ified personnel. Detailed knowledge of the
machine functions concerning switching on
and off as well as of the required safety rel­evant technical tasks is required!

Periodical maintenance is essential for the longevity
of the system and guarantees reliability and avail­ability. The following properties of the system has
to be checked in continuous short time intervals:

• oil level in the tank

• max. working temperature

• condition of the pressure fluid (visual inspec­tion, color and smell of hydraulic fluid)

• working pressure levels

• gas pre-load pressure on the pressure accu­mulator

• leakage on all system components

• condition of filter elements

• condition of hose lines

• cleanliness of components

After a certain operating duration a change of the
hydraulic fluid is required. The frequency of change
depends from the following circumstances:

• kind resp. grade of the pressure fluid

• filtering

• operating temperature and environmental con­ditions

Air bleeding of hydraulic system

During initial startup, after an oil change as well
as after the opening of lines or valves the hydrau­lic system must be air bleeded.

Filter

The function and lifetime of the valve are strongly
affected by the cleanliness of the fluid.
Purity level class of 18/16/13 acc. ISO 4406 is re­quired.

Flushing

It is recommended to flush the pipelines by short
circuiting the pressure and return lines. This pre­vents the installation dirt from entering the valve.

Decommissioning

Make sure that the hydraulic system/machine is un­pressurised before the product is removed. Note
also the information in sections “Warranty and li­ability”, “Use of operating instructions”, “Compli­ance with other rules and instructions”, “Person­nel requirements”, “Remaining risks”.

Disposal

At the end of the service life of this product

• all escaping pressure fluids must be removed
and disposed of properly

• any significant fluids remaining in the prod­uct must be removed and disposed of properly

• all materials must be segregated for recycling
when they are removed and taken to a suitable
recycling center.

Please segregate the packaging material proper­ly (e.g. paper, plastic). None of the components of
the product contain hazardous materials.

The normal local environmental protection
laws must always be met when disposing the
product.

Note also the information in sections “Warranty and
liability”, “Basic information on using the manual”,

Trouble shooting

Basis of troubleshooting is always a systematic
approach. At first the following questions have to
be checked:

•

Are there practical experiences with similar
failures?

• Have system adjustments been changed?

Afterwards starting of troubleshooting by means of
a priority list of the most likely reasons.

For suspect of a sluggish spool the valve may
be flushed with clean pressure fluid.

Troubleshooting in a hydraulic system requires

in either case a systematic approach. The
work may exclusively be performed by qual­ified personnel, as it requires detailed knowl­edge about function and construction of the
system. Reversals or disassemblies may not
be taken imprudently! Prior to the works it
has to be clarified, if the system has been op­erated properly until the failure occured.
