3.General Terms
3.1.Purpose of use
The Control Unit Delta CU4 Direct Connect has been
developed for the control of process valves used in the food
industry and related industries.
The CU4 control unit operates as interface between
process control and process valve and controls the electric and
pneumatic signals.
The pneumatic control of APV valves is undertaken via the
solenoid valves. The control unit controls the valve positions,
open and closed, via integrated and external sensors. The
electronic module undertakes the task to process the switching
signal from the control and to control the corresponding
solenoid valves. The electronic module also provides
potential-free contacts.
The corresponding light signals in the control unit provide for an
external indiciation of the valve positions.
3.2.Design of CU4 Direct Connect (fig. 3.2.)
The Control Units CU4 Direct Connect mainly consists
of the following components:
1.The Control Unit base with integrated air channels and electric
and pneumatic connections as well as viewing windows with
type label.
2.1 or 3 solenoid valves for the control of the valve actuators and
for the seat lifting of double seat valves.
-1 solenoid valve with 1 logic NOT element for the control of the
valve actuators.
3.Sensor module with 2 integrated Hall sensors or 2 external
proximity switches to detect the valve position.
4.electronic module for the electric supply, communication with
control, evaluation of feedback signals and control of solenoid
valves as well as valve position indication through LED.
5.clamp ring to fasten the CU4 on the adapter.
6.cover with LED optics.
The cable/s by means of which the solenoid valves are connected
with the electronic module must be guided through the ear at the
rear side of the electronic module (fig. 3.2.1).

3.General Terms
3.3.Function of the individual components
The installation of the control unit is undertaken by special
adapters which are available for the different valves types,
see chapter 5. Adapter. The snap connectors for supply air and
pneumatic air to the individual cylinders at the valves are located
at the outside of the control unit. At the control units for valves
with turning actuator, the pneumatic air is transferred internally to
the actuator. The air supply of the control unit is equipped with an
exchangeable air filter. Observance of the required compressed air
quality is imperative. Please also see chapter 4.5.
The number of the solenoid valves installed in the CU4 depends
on the valve actuators to be controlled. Single seat and butterfly
valves and double seat valves without seat lift function require 1
solenoid valve. Control units for double seat valves equipped
with 3 solenoid valves. For the manual actuation, the solenoid
valves are provided with a safe handle which is easy to operate.
The electronic module installed in the control unit fulfils the task
to process the electric signals from the control, to control the
solenoid valves and to evaluate the feedback signals from the
feedback unit. Moreover, the signalling and indication of the valve
positions as well as additional diagnostic functions are undertaken
via the electronic module.
The electronic module is the interface between control actuators or
sensors. Depending on the control type, different modules are
available, e.g. Direct Connect, AS-Interface, Profibus and
DeviceNet. The CU4 Direct Connect module described
here provides for the direct parallel wiring of the control.
A feedback unit is required to detect the valve position.
The CU4 Direct Connect is equipped with 2 adjustable Hall
effect sensors.
These are activated by a valve control rod installed on the
operating cam. In this way, the open and closed valve position
can be detected.
The 2 Hall effect sensors are continuously adjustable over an
additional range. Thus, feedback messages for different valves
with different stroke lengths can be adjusted properly. As an
alternative, external proximity switches can be connected instead
of the integrated Hall effect sensors when the valve position
indication is undertaken direct at the process valve.

3.3.Function of the individual components
The luminous diodes are located on the front side of the
electronic module. Their signals are visibly indicated to the
outside by an optical window in the cover the control unit. Beside
the open and closed valve position, the existence of the operating
voltage as well as different diagnostic information are indicated.
Chapter 6.4. LED indicators provide more details.
The complete control unit has been designed on the building
block principle. By exchange of the electronic module, the control
type can be changed, e.g. from direct control (Direct Connect) to
communication with AS-Interface.
(Attention: wiring needs also be changed.)

4.7.Throttling function
The operating speed of the valve actuator can be varied or
reduced. This may be necessary to slacken the actuation of the
valve in order to prevent pressure hammers in the piping
installation. For this purpose, the supply and exhaust air of the
first solenoid valve can be adjusted via the throttling screws
respectively allocated in the interface of the solenoid valve.
By turning the screws in anticlockwise direction, the inlet or
outlet air is throttled.
4.8.NOT element
The closing force of the valve actuator can be increased by
additional compressed air.
Through the installation of the logic NOT element, compressed
air is guided via a pressure reducing valve on the spring side of
the valve actuator.
The NOT element is also used for air/air actuators.

6.1.Function / Block diagram
The electronic module CU4 Direct Connect operates as
interface between superordinated control (PLC) and is connected
direct by parallel wiring, i.e. every individual signal is on a
separate line. The large input voltage range from 15 to 48VDC
provides for versatile connections. All operating ranges within
the electronic module such as the control of the solenoid valves,
position feedback and LED indication are separated galvanically
and can, thus, be operated with different voltages. Control of the
solenoid valves is effected in energy-saving manner via
pwm-signals.

7.Feedback unit
7.1.General terms
For the internal registration of the valve position indication,
the feedback unit with 2 Hall effect sensors is applied. It is used
when single seat and butterfly valves are installed.
The control of these sensors is effected by magnets assembled
on the valve shaft rod. The Hall effect sensors are installed on a
movable threaded rod. By means of this assembly, the sensors
can be adjusted via a large range, in accordance with the valve
stroke.
7.2.Sensors
Hall effect sensors, APV type H 320385
UB 4,75-5,25 VDC
operating distance according to APV specification
7.3.Adjustment of valve position feedback
By turning of the adjustment screws on which the Hall effect
sensors are installed, the sensors can be moved into the
respectively required position to detect the valve position.
The o-rings on the adjusting srews prevent unintended
ccidental displacement of these positions. After the installation
of the control unit, check the correct adjustment of the position
of the Hall sensor.
7.4.Use of external sensors
Instead of the internal Hall effect sensors, also 2 external proximity
switches can be connected to the CU4 DC, e.g. for the
valve position indication at double seat valves.
