If only one solenoid output is powered at a time, then there are no restrictions and the single solenoid current
may reach the maximum current according to the Electrical Specifications over the whole temperature range.

But the total solenoid current of simultaneously powered solenoids depends on the ambient temperature.
Exceeding this current limit will trip the overcurrent protection circuit, the SD6 falls into the failure state and
blocks all function.
Solenoids can be powered simultaneously, i.e.on the amplifier in operating mode 4, or with inverted solenoid
outputs.
If solenoids are powered with more voltage than their nominal voltage and are so over-energized, then at fast
switching-on, the overcurrent protection may trip and the SD6 may fall into failure state and block all function.
The following graphics shows the maximum allowed total solenoid current over ambient temperature when both
solenoids are powered at the same time.
·These operating instructions have to be carefully studied beforehand and the instructions are to be complied
with.
·Prior to the installation, all power supply voltages and any other energy sources have to be disconnected.
·The installation/assembly must only be carried out by specialist personnel with electrical knowledge.
·Take into account precautionary measures concerning components on the module, which are subject to
damage as a result of electrostatic discharge.
·Wrong manipulations by the personnel cannot be prevented by the SD6-Electronics.
·Before the switching on of the supply voltage, the fuse protection, the correct wiring and the conformity of the
power supply voltage with the permissible supply voltage range have to be verified.
·The SD6-Electronics monitors the working conditions within the electronics and
within the installation. Uncontrolled movements or force changes caused by
unforeseen errors of the SD6-Electronics cannot be prevented in any case.
·Danger for persons has to be avoided by installing an emergency stop device which
cuts off the power to the system.

4.1Introduction
·All inputs and outputs have to be contacted through the terminal screw block
·At the device front panel, there is a USB interface, through which the parameterisation and the diagnostics
can be made by using the PC-Parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6
·In the factory, the SD6-Electronics are adjusted with the default values. The adjustment to the valves being
used, has to performed by the user.
4.2Description of the Function
With the SD6-Electronics, it is possible to build different closed circuit controls. Apart from controls for pressure,
volume flow or position, also pQ- and alternating controls can be implemented. They can optionally be adjusted
in the form of a controller mode. In addition, an amplifier part is integrated, with which the connected valve resp.
its solenoid is directly driven.
The command value is conducted to the controller as an electric signal, a sensor records the feedback value,
this signal is also conducted to the controller. In correspondence with the control difference (command value feedback value), a control signal (solenoid current) is output to the valve.
By means of the scaling of the command value and feedback value, all further inputs can be made in the
required, resp., selectable physical unit (e.g., bar or mm, etc.). When the command value has been reached,
then the SD6 is capable of outputting a digital signal (optionally an „Error“- or „Target window reached “ - signal).
The SD6 - controller has a command value generator, with which the up - and down ramp of the internal
command value can be predefined. The controller is designed as a PID - controller. The control characteristics
as a result of this can be equalised and adapted to the control circuit. Furthermore, it is also possible to
switch-off the control system completely for testing - and adjusting purposes. The SD6 in this case operates in
correspondence with normal amplifier electronics.
Furthermore the controller module “SD6” comprises digital inputs for the enabling, for controlling the manual
operation and for the profile generator as well as digital outputs, which output the conditions „Error“ or „Target
window reached “.
Changed parameters can be saved in a non-volatile memory, so that following a renewed switching-on of the
control system they are still available once again.
The SD6 - electronics in addition have a signal recording function. By means of PASO, this makes possible a
recording of different system signals, such as, e.g., command value / feedback value, control difference,
solenoid currents, etc., which are able to be graphically displayed on a common time axis.
The manual operating mode makes available commands such as Forwards, Backwards, Rapid Speed and
Creep Speed. With this it is possible to put the connected hydraulics into operation without a super-ordinate
control system.
4.3Characteristic optimisation
The SD6 electronics are provided with a possibility to optimise the characteristic “Preset value input – solenoid
current output”. The user is able to create a characteristic (e.g. a linearised characteristic) which matches his
own application. The characteristic optimisation can be turned on or off (refer to “Parameters_Valves” on page
21). This setting is available only with a SD6-electronics with software version higher than 1.1.1.6 and PASO with

4.6Analogue inputs
· The applied analogue signal is digitised in the 10Bit A/D converter at analogue inputs 1 and 2 resp. in the 16Bit
A/D converter at analogue inputs 3 or 4.
Attention:By the input range 4 ... 20mA, the resolution is < 10Bit resp. < 16Bit!
· Differential inputs
All analogue inputs are differential inputs. Differential inputs are used if the ground potential of the external
command value generator does not agree with the ground on the SD6-Electronics.
If the differential input is intended to use like an analogue input against ground, the - (minus) connection of the
differential input must be connected to the ground of the SD6-Electronics. In this case please attend that the
solenoid current can cause a voltage drop between the SD6-Electronics and the power supply. It is
recommended to connect the - (minus) connection as near as possible to the power supply.
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
4.7Cablebreak detection
The analogue inputs with input signal range of 4...20mA can be detected for a cablebreak. If a cablebreak is
present (input signal less than 3mA), the corresponding solenoid outputs will be blocked and the output "Error"
will be active. The following conditions had to be performed:
·The input signal must be a current value 4 ... 20mA
·The parameter "Cablebreak" must be on "On"
Attention: Until a cablebreak will be detected, a time delay of about 100ms will pass. During this time, the
cylinder can make unintentional movements or unintentional force changes.
4.8Digital inputs
·Digital input 1 " Enable control"
The digital input is active-high (refer to section "Electrical specifications").
If this input is set, the SD6-Electronics are enabled. Without this enable, no solenoid current will be output.
This digital input can be set also through the parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 (refer to section
"Configuration_Digital I/O").
65
·Digital input 2 "Automatic / Manual operation"
At manual operation (digital input low) the command value is being generated by digital inputs 3...5. For this
two velocities are available in both directions.
At automatic operation (digital input high) the command value is being generated by the profile generator or
read from an analog input, depending on the state of the digital inputs 3...8.
To switch between manual and automatic operation, the SD6 has to be disabled by deactivating digital input
1.
·Digital input 3 "Manual forward" or "Profile / Sequence"
Manual operation: When the digital input is activated the command value will be incremented. The velocity
depends on digital input 5 "Rapid speed / Creep speed".
Automatic operation: Choice between running through a complete profile (digital input high) or an individual
sequence (digital input low).
·Digital input 4 "Manual reverse" or "Start"
Manual operation: When the digital input is activated the command value will be decremented. The velocity
depends on digital input 5 "Rapid speed / Creep speed".
Automatic operation: Depending on digital input 3 "Profile / Sequence" the running through of the complete
profile or of the next sequence only is started.
·Digital input 5 "Rapid speed / Creep speed" or "Stop"
Manual operation: Changeover between rapid speed (digital input high) and creep speed (digital input low).
Automatic operation: As long as the digital input is high the axis can move. As soon as the digital input
becomes low the movement is stopped (set-point value = feedback value).
·Digital input 6...8 "Profile selection"
These digital inputs only take effect in automatic operation. Profiles can only be used in closed loop control
modes (an exception is the pQ-control mode, where no profiles can be used). How to select the profiles is
shown in the table below. If profile 0 is selected the command value will be read from one of the analogue
input. A detailed description of the profiles is located in the section "Profile-Menu"

4.9Input for digital sensor
This input makes it possible to connect digital sensors with SSI- or Start/Stop-Interface.
SSI-Interface
SSI-Interface according RS-422 standard with a baudrate of 300kHz.
Start/Stop-Interface
This Interface supports sensors with a Start/Stop-Interface as they are available e.g. from Balluff or MTS.
The max. 2 solenoid outputs have a current output with 1000 Hz Pulse-Width-Modulation with superimposed
dither.
·Analog output
The analog output can be assigned to the following signals via the PASO DSV/SD6 (depending on the control
mode, different signals are available):
- command value for the solenoid driver
- scaled command value
- scaled feedback value (only with closed loop control modes)
- scaled control deviation (only with closed loop control modes)
The signal at the analog output can be used for driving a valve with integrated electronics which has a voltage
interface. The output level can be adjusted (refer to section "Configuration_Analog output").
·Digital outputs
The following digital outputs are available:
- Digital outut 1 "Error"
- Digital outut 2 "Solenoid B active", "Inside target window / End of Seq"
- Digital outut 3 "Trailing error"
- Digital outut 4 "Profile End reached"
The digital output can be configured by the PASO DSV/SD6 Software (refer to section "Configuration_Digital
I/O").

4.11Controller Modes
The SD6-Electronics provide the following controller modes:
·Controller mode 3 "Pressure/flow valve open loop"
Control of a pressure relief-, pressure reducing- or flow control valve in open loop (without feedback signal).
The number of solenoids, which are activated, depends on the selected mode of operation (refer to section
"Mode of operation").
This mode of operation corresponds to the "Device Control Mode = 3" of the fieldbus device profile Fluid
Power Technology.
Control of a 1-solenoid pressure relief-, pressure reducing- or flow control valve in closed loop (with feedback
signal). It can only be activated one solenoid (correspond to solenoid driver 1).
In this controller mode, the parameter "Mode of operation" has no meaning (refer to section "Mode of
Operation").
52
This mode of operation corresponds to the "Device Control Mode = 4" of the fieldbus device profile Fluid
Power Technology.
Example Application:
Pressure Control: with one proportional pressure relief valve, the pressure p is held constant to the command
pressure value w.
Example Application: Flow Control: with one proportional throttle valve, the flow Q is held constant to the flow
command value w.
·Controller mode 6 "Position open loop"
Control of a spool valve in open loop (without feedback signal).
The number of solenoids, which are activated, depends on the selected mode of operation (refer to section
"Mode of operation").
52
This mode of operation corresponds to the "Device Control Mode = 6" of the fieldbus device profile Fluid
Power Technology.
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
·Controller mode 7 "Speed control closed loop (2-sol)"
Control of a 2-solenoid pressure relief-, pressure reducing- or flow control valve in closed loop (with feedback
signal). It can be activated two solenoids.
In this controller mode, the parameter "Mode of operation" has no meaning (refer to section "Mode of
Operation").
52
This mode of operation corresponds to the "Device Control Mode = 7" of the fieldbus device profile Fluid
Power Technology.
·Controller mode 9 "Position closed loop"
Control of a 2-solenoid spool valve in closed loop (with feedback signal). It can be activated two solenoids.
In this controller mode, the parameter "Mode of operation" has no meaning (refer to section "Mode of
Operation").
52
This mode of operation corresponds to the "Device Control Mode = 9" of the fieldbus device profile Fluid
Power Technology.
Example application: with a 4/3-proportional-spool valve, the axis position is held constant to the command
position value w..
·Controller mode –5 "Pressure control closed loop (2-sol)"
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
Control of two 1-solenoid throttle valves in closed loop (with feedback signal) as a pressure reducing system.
One throttel valve is the loading valve, the other throttel valve is the unloading valve. The loading valve
corresponds to solenoid driver 1, the unloading valve to the solenoid driver 2.
In this controller mode, the parameter "Mode of operation" has no meaning (refer to section "Mode of
Operation").
52
This controller mode is a WANDFLUH specific controller mode and does not correspond to the fieldbus
device profile Fluid Power Technology.
This setting is available only with a SD6-electronics with software version > 1.1.1.6 and PASO with software
version > 1.5.0.9!
·Controller mode –9 "pQ control (2-sol)"
Driving of a direction control valve in open loop control circuit (without feedback signal) with monitoring of a
predefined pressure (with feedback signal).
There is a Q and a p command value. With the Q command value, the cylinder can move in open loop in both
directions. The p command value defines the maximum allowed pressure. If this pressure is exceeded, the
controller reduces the output signal to the valve. In this case the preset pressure is not exceeded. A rear
dodge (cylinder moves backward) is possible. The p feedback value can be either an absolute signal (V or
mA) from a pressure or force sensor or can be built as a differential signal from two pressure or force sensors
(V or mA).
With this controller mode, the choice of the proportional valve has a high influence on the system behavior.
More details about it are available from factory.
Example application: with a 4/3-proportional-spool valve, the axis will move in open loop (without feedback
signal). Simultaneously the pressure is monitored (measured with the pressure sensor).
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
This setting is available only with a SD6-electronics with software version higher than 1.1.3.0 and PASO with
software version higher than 1.5.1.2!
·Controller mode –10 "Alternating control (2-sol)"
Driving of a direction control valve in closed loop control circuit (with feedback value return) with monitoring of
a predefined pressure (with feedback value return).
There is a pos and a p command value. With the pos command value, the cylinder can move in closed loop
in both directions. The p command value defines the maximum allowed pressure. If this pressure is
exceeded, the position controller is swichted off and the controller reduces the output signal to the valve. In
this case the preset pressure is not exceeded. If the actual pressure is smaller than the p command value,
the position controller is switched on. A rear dodge (cylinder moves backward) is possible. The p feedback
value can be either an absolute signal (V or mA) from a pressure or force sensor or can be built as a
differential signal from two pressure or force sensors (V or mA).
With this controller mode, the choice of the proportional valve has a high influence on the system behavior.
More details about it are available from factory.
Example application: with a 4/3-proportional-spool valve, the axis position is held constant to the command
position value w. Simultaneously the pressure is monitored (measured with the pressure sensor).

5
·The limit values of the supply voltage and its residual ripple indispensably have to be complied with (refer to
section "Electrical specifications").
5
·The SD6-Electronics have to be protected with a slow acting fuse
23
6.1.2Digital inputs and outputs
·The digital inputs are active-high and not galvanically separated
·For activation, they have to be connected to a voltage between 6 ... 30VDC (e.g. power supply)
· The digital outputs are "Lowside Switch" outputs (open collector)
·Depending on the card type current and / or voltage inputs with 10-bit ore possibly with 16-bit resolution are

7.1Introduction
·The system- and parameter settings can be made via the RS232 interface with the PC-Parameterisation
software PASO DSV/SD6.
·For information about the operation via the PC-Parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 please refer to
section "PASO DSV/SD6 Installation and Operation".
·Depending on the connected SD6-Electronics, certain settings may be blocked.
7.2Tips for the first commissioning
·Connect the power supply, leave the SD6-Electronics still switched-off.
·Switch-off the hydraulic drive (hydraulics switched-off).
·Carefully check the connections.
·Switch-on the power supply.
·Establish communication with PASO (connect PC and axis controller with a standard USB cable and start
PASO).
·Configure the SD6-Electronics specific to the installation. In doing so, the following sequence should be
observed:
1. Make the corresponding settings in the menu "Configuration_Controller mode"
2. Select the corresponding mode of operation In the menu "Configuration_Mode of operation" (only witht
open loop controller modes)
3. make the corresponding settings in the menu "Configuration_Signal scaling"
·Switch-on the hydraulics.
·For the card to be enabled, the digital input "Enable Control" has to be set (refer to section "Digital Input
").
·Corresponding to the set-point value command, the axis should now run up to the required position.
If the axis only runs up to the mechanical stop in one direction, then the system control sense is probably
wrong (change it in the menu point "Configuration_Controller mode").
52
·The command value direction (e.g., potentiometer left/right) should correspond to the axis direction. If not,
either change the set-point value direction or the feedback value direction (change in the menu point "
Configuration_Signal scaling"). If the feedback value direction is reversed, then simultaneously the
53
connection of the solenoids 1 and 2 have to be switched.
·Set the drive currents of the valves in the menu "Parameter_Valves".
·Set the control parameters in the menu "Parameter_Controller".
·Make the settings in the menu "Parameter_Window”.
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
·The parameter 'Imin A' resp. 'Imin B' should be set in the way that the axis just slightly move
·The parameter 'Imax A' resp. 'Imax B' should be set in the way that the max. desired speed is reached at the
axis
·Adjust the desired value for the target window (control deviation < target window threshold = target
window reached)
·Adjust the desired value for the trailing error window (control deviation > trailing error window threshold =
trailing error)
·Adjust the desired value for the solenoid-off window (control deviation < solenoid off window threshold =
solenoids are switched off)
Please note therfore the following:
· The solenoid off function is only active, if the parameter 'Solenoid In position' in the menu 'Configuration -
Control mode' is set to 'off'. If it sets to 'on', the solenoid are never switched off
· If the value for the parameter 'Solenoid off threshold' is higher than the value for the parameter 'Target
window threshold', then the target window will never be reached (the solenoids are switched off before the
target position is reached)
·Using the parameters of the PID controller, the control behavior can be adjusted
·Because a position control is a dynamic control system, it can be waived to the I-term in many cases
·First, the P-term should be set
·Therefore increase gradually the parameter 'P-Ampl' until the desired response time is reached, without the
system oscillates
·If necessary, the running in the final position can be changed with the I-term
·With the parameter 'Velocity feed forward', the riding of the cylinder can be accelerated. The change of the
command value (the increase speed of the command value) is multiplied with this factor and added to the
correcting variable of the controller. If this factor is 0, no command value addition is added to the correcting
variable
·The parameter 'Command feed forward' should be set to 0 in this control mode
·Set all controller parameters (P-Ampl, I-Window, I-Time, D-Ampl and D-Time, at a time positive and
negative) to 0
·Set parameter 'Command feed forward' to 1.0
·Change the preset value from min to max. The actual value should follow with a difference
·Change the value from the parameter 'Command feed forward' in the case that the difference between preset
and actual value is as small as possible. The difference is not the same over the whole range. Select the
smalles difference in the range, where the system will work mostly
·Increase the value from the parameter 'P-Ampl'. As long as the system does not start to swing, this
parameter can be increased
·Find out the highest control deviation (with the Menu 'Analysis - Signal recording')
·The highest control deviation plus 10 bar will be the value for the parameter 'I-Window outside'
·Set parameter 'I-Window Inside' to 1 bar
·Set parameter 'I-Time' to 1 s. If the system is not fast enough, decrease the value from 'I-time'
7.3Start up help
The following description is intended as a guide for the setting of a control system. It is important that the default
order is maintained. The value of each parameter is always system dependent. Larger deviations in the setting
can occur quiteof different systems.
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
·First, set the parameter for the position controller analog to the start up position controller (set Setup mode
to 'Position')
·Afterwards, set the parameter for the pressure controller analog to the start up pressure controller (set Setup
mode to 'Pressure')
·Please note therfore the following:
· The Dithersignal must be active resp. set high enough (lower frequency / higher level)
Therefore the adjusted values for Imin A resp. Imin B are also corrrect for the pressure controller
· The smaller of the two control values is active. A "stronger" controller loses out to a "weaker" controller.
With a corresponding adjustment it is possible to prioritized the position or pressure controller (e.g.
performs a fast integral to a higher control value and loses against the 'weak regulator')
· Set parameter "I-term, if control deviation > I-Window outside" to "leave value"
· Set parameter "I-term, if controller is not active" to "leave value"
· Set parameter 'Command feed forward' to 0
· The feedback pressure signal should be read as a differential pressure with two sensors (there can be a
problem with starting the movement with one sensor)
·With a double acting cylinder, the pressure feedback value should read in as a differential pressure with two
pressure sensor
·With a single acting cylinder, the pressure feedback value can read in also with only one pressure sensor.
This should be installed on the working side (active side).
·Instead of a pressure sensor also a force sensor can be used
·A 4/3-way spool valve with central position A-B-T connected (valve type ...-ADB-...) is not suitable

7.5File-Menu
Contained in the File menu are the menu points, which concern the file handling and the printing of the
parameters. In the "On Line"-mode, some of these menu points are blocked.
7.5.1File_New
This menu point is active only in the "Off Line"-mode.
With this command, a new file can be opened. Near it, all parameters are set to default values. A question will be
displayed, if the current configuration will be retain or not.
If "Yes" will be selected, the current configuration will not be changed.
If "No" will be selected, a selection window will be displayed. In this window, the following configuration can be
selected.
The modified configuration only affects the "Off Line"-mode. By switching to "On Line"-mode the
configuration of the connected SD6-electronics will be read in.
7.5.2File_Open
This menu point is only active in the "Off Line"-mode.
With this command, an existing file from a storage medium is opened. First the file selection window appears. In
this window the required file can now be selected and opened with ”OK”. If the configuration of the selected file
does not correspond to the current configuration of the PASO DSV/SD6, a message will be displayed and the
current configuration from the PASO DSV/SD6 will change automatically over to the new configuration of the
selected file. The read parameter values will be checked in the case of a limiting value excess. If one or more
parameter values are outside the tolerance, a message will be displayed and the parameter value will be set to
the default value (refer to section "Limiting value error"). The parameter values can now be edited and
87
changed as required under the corresponding menu points.
7.5.3File_Save
With this command, the parameters are saved on a data storage medium. All parameter values of all input
windows are saved under the current file name. If no file name has been defined yet, then first the file selection
window appears (refer to section "File_Save as...").
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
Date, time
Date, time of saving.
File name:
The file name, under which the file has been saved.
Valve type:
The valve type of the connected SD6-Electronics at the moment of saving. If no SD6-Electronics
are connected, then this indication remains empty. In case of saving during ”On Line Operation”,
this indication is updated.
Operator:
The name of the originating person.
Remarks:
Possibility to enter remarks concerning the file.
7.5.4File_Save as
With this command, the parameters are saved on a data storage medium. All parameter values of all input
windows are saved under the file name entered.
First the file selection window appears. In this window the desired file name can now be entered. If the file name
is entered without an extension, then the extension ”.par” is automatically assigned to it. After actuating the key
”Save”, the file information window appears (refer to section "File-Info"). In this window the required entries
35
can now be made. With the key ”Save”, the file is then finally saved under the selected file name. With the key
”Cancel”, one changes back to the file window.
7.5.5File_Print
With this command, the current parameters are printed in ASCII text format. The File_Print window is opened. In
this window one can now select, whether the printing process is to be to a printer or to a file.
If the output is to be to a printer, then the Windows printer selection window is opened.. In this window, pleasedo not select ”Print to File”. If you do, a new program start might possibly be required and you could lose any
data not yet saved.
If the output is to be to a file, then the file selection window appears. In this window the desired file name can
now be entered. If the file name is entered without an extension, then automatically the extension ”.txt” is
assigned to it.
7.5.6File_Info
With this command, the file information of an existing file is displayed. The file information consists of the
following parts:
When the File_Info window appears during the execution of the command ”File_Save”, then the corresponding
entries can be made in the various fields (with the exception of ”Date”, ”Time”, ”File name” and ”Card type”,
which cannot be edited). When the File_Info window appears during the execution of the command
”File_File-Info”, then the various fields cannot be edited.
7.5.7File_Activate Off Line / Activate On Line
Off Line
With this command, the connection with the SD6-Electronics is interrupted. All menu points, which call for a
communication with the SD6-Electronics, are blocked. The PASO DSV/SD6 software now runs in the ”Off Line
mode”. The loading, saving and the editing of parameter files is possible in this mode.
On Line
With this command, the connection with the SD6-Electronics is established. The communication with the
SD6-Electronics is briefly tested. If the connection works, then the user has the option of taking over the
parameters from the SD6-Electronics or of transfering the parameters to the SD6-Electronics. During the
transfer of the parameters, the user has the possibility of aborting the operation.
Before parameters are transferred to the SD6-Electronics, a verification is carried out as to whether the
configuration of the SD6-Electronics supports the parameter values. The configuration corresponds here to the
number of the solenoids. If the configuration of the connected SD6-Electronics do not match with the current
configuration of the PASO DSV/SD6, a message will be displayed and the current configuration from the PASO
DSV/SD6 will change automatically over to the new configuration.
If the parameters have been taken over by the SD6-Electronics, then they will be checked in the case of a
limiting value excess. If one or more parameter values are outside the tolerance, a message will be displayed
and the parameter value will be set to the default value (refer to section "Limiting value error"). The PASO
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
DSV/SD6 will stay in the "Off Line"-mode. For going On Line in this case, the parameter must be transferred to
the SD6-Electronics. If the transfer was successful and the limiting value check was also successful, then the
software subsequently runs in the "On Line"-mode. The loading of parameter files is not possible in this mode.
The current mode will be displayed in the status line.
7.5.8File_SD6 datarecord info
This menu point is only active in the "On Line"-mode.
Under this menu the current data set information of the connected SD6-Electronics appears. The data
correspond to the last change to the SD6-Electronics data carried out.
7.5.9File_Exit
With this command, the PASO DSV/SD6 is terminated. If parameter data have been changed and have not yet
been saved, then the question appears, as to whether these data should be saved. This is referring only to the
save in file. On the SD6-Electronics, the parameter will be saved automatically by clicking on the button "OK" in
the corresponding windows (refer to section "Store parameter").

the actual value.
7.6Profile-Menu
The SD6-Electronics is in a position to save - and to run through complete travel profiles, which have been
predefined by the operator beforehand. A travel profile is a sequence of individual profiles (sequences), which
define a course of movement.
7.6.1Sequence
A sequence consists of the travel command data and the stop time (dwell time after reaching the target position)
A sequence is defined by the operator with the help of the travel command data entered through the keyboard.
The travel command data contain:
With the controller mode "Alternating control (2-sol)" it is possible to adjust for each sequence a command
pressure. This command pressure is not part of the travel command data, but defines the maximum allowable
pressure. If the actual pressure will exceed the adjusted command pressure during run the sequence, the
pressure controller will be activated.
The travel command data of the sequences are saved in the EEPROM.
With the parameter "Sequence output" the selection can be made, if the state of the sequence should be
displayed on the digital output 2 or not.
Which state is displayed can be selected with the parameter "Digital output 2" (refer to section "
Configuration_Digital I/O")

From the travel command data, the theoretical course of the sequence is calculated. The calculated course of

sequence) and it can significantly differ from the travel command data entered. Command positions and
possible stop times, however, are complied with in all cases.
The limit parameters are:

Adaptation of the Acceleration or Deceleration to the Limit Parameters
In order for the target speed vtarget to be reached, the entered values for the acceleration as or deceleration ds
are adapted if necessary (e.g. reverse digit sign, i.e. acceleration becomes deceleration or vice versa, or if so
required change the value of the acceleration or deceleration). In conjunction with the other limit parameters, this
results in the calculated course of the sequence. The adapted values in contrast to the entered ones are not
saved in the EEPROM. They are only expressed in the graphic representation of the profile.
As a consequence of the physical limits of the axis control system, the calculated sequence course is possibly
not implementable. This is not verified by the Paso software.
7.6.2Travel Profile
A travel profile as a minimum consists of one sequence and, as a maximum, of the maximum programmable
number of sequences. The sequences are consecutively numbered per travel profile (1..Maximum-Index). The
sequence number 1 serves to run up to the profile starting position. Because the starting position of this
sequence is not always known, this sequence is uniformly displayed in the graphic window with two blue arrows.
The travel profile ends either upon reaching the last sequence or else when reaching a sequence, which has
been programmed with the speed 0 (artificial profile end). Thereafter the following sequences are not carried out.
Per SD6-Electronics, a maximum of 50 sequences can be defined, which can be split-up in any manner required
over the maximum 7 profiles.
A movement profile can either be run through completely or else step-by-step (sequence by sequence). The
profile to be run through is selected through 3 digital inputs (= 7 profiles) (refer to section "Digital inputs").
13
The selection of the profiles is done by driving the digital inputs 6 - 8. It applies the following relationship:
With controller mode "Alternating control (2-soll)", note the following:
·in addition, the parameter "Command value position Signal type" must be set to "Profile" (refer to section
"Configuration_Signal scaling").
·if also the adjusted command pressure should be used, the parameter "Command value pressure Signal
type" must be set to "Profile" (refer to section "Configuration_Signal scaling").
·if the profile 0 is selected,
·wird das Fahrprofil 0 angewählt, no movement is performed (the external command value is not active)
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
With the help of the digital input digital input 4, the profile movement is started.
For every execution of a positioning, a start signal has to be applied. If the operating mode "Run through
individual sequence” has been selected (digital input 3 on "Low”), each sequence has to be started individually. If
in doing so, a stop time = 0 has been programmed, the corresponding sequences are combined into one
movement without any stopping time (sequence group).
In the operating mode "Run through complete profile” (digital input 3 to "High”), after the start signal the complete
profile is run through.
If a profile end is detected, then with the next start signal the processing starts again with the sequence 1. The
completion announcement of every completed travel profile is effected with the setting of the output signal
"Profile end”. The state of each sequence is effected with the digital output 2 (depends on the parameter
"Sequence output", refer to section "Profile Generator-Window");
41
Any and all positioning operations can be stopped, if the digital input 5 "Stop” is activated (low active).

Characteristic optimisation:
This setting is available only with a SD6-electronics with software version higher than 1.1.1.6 and PASO with
software version higher than 1.5.0.9!
This menu enables the optimisation of the solenoid current adjustment of SD6-Electronics. A graphic is shown
which represents the characteristic “Preset value (X-axis) – Solenoid current (Y-axis)”. The graphic consists of
11 points, the first and the last point (100%) are preset.
The other graphic points can be adjusted either by tracking with the mouse or by entering the value at the
numeric inputs. The resolution of the X-values is in %, those of the Y-values in 0.1 %. The X-values cannot be
falling.
At shipping ex work (default settings) the preset value is transmitted proportionally to the solenoid current

The same behaviour occurs at any time when the characteristic optimisation is turned off.
By modifying the default linear characteristic “Preset value (X-axis) – Solenoid current (Y-axis)” e.g. a progressiv
valve characteristic “Current - Flow/Pressure” can be compensated in such a way that a linear relation between
preset value and Flow / Pressure is realised. The characteristic “Preset value (X-axis) – Solenoid current
(Y-axis)” in this case should be adjusted in the “opposite progressive” direction (refer to the example
characteristic below).
Additionally the characteristic optimisation must be turned on. This will be shown in the PASO-Status line (refer
to section "Starting of PASO DSV/SD6").

In controller mode 4, 7 and 9 the scaling is not set by means of gain and offset, but defined with two points.
These points in the following are called scaling points. A scaling point consists of a reference value and an
interface value.
Reference corresponds to the measuring value. In the following examples, the measuring value is a length.
Interface corresponds to the analogue signal.
It is advisable to select the two scaling points as far apart from one another as possible. Attention has to be paid,
that Min. Reference always has to be smaller than Max. Reference
Command value scaling:
In case of the command value normally the interface range and the reference range are known. From this two
scaling points can be decided on without any measuring.
1st Example:
An external control system presets the command value in the form of a voltage signal (0 ... 10V). At 0V the
position 0mm, and at 10V the position 100mm shall be run-up to.

Start / Stop
Start
A new recording is started. As soon as the trigger is actuated, the recording runs
(apparent by the blinking of the field "Recording") and the measuring data are
transmitted.
If there are already measuring data in the memory, then the recording continues as
from this point.
Once the maximum number of measuring values has been read-in, the possible
remaining recording data are transmitted (the curves continue to be updated).
During the transmission, it is already possible to analyse the curves ("Signal display",
"Auto-scaling").
Stop
Stops the transmission and the recording. As from this point it is possible to record
once again by a renewed actuation of Start.
Once the maximum number of measuring values has been read-in, or in the case of
"Off-Line operation", the Start key is dimmed.
Export
By the actuation of this key the recorded data are saved on the hard-disk.
The format used is a text format with tabulators as separators, so that it is easily
possible to import the values into a different program (e.g. Excel).
The decimal marker of the numbers can be selected: Decimal point or comma.
7.12.2Analysis_Signal Recording
In the menu "Analysis_Signal recording", various signals of the connected SD6-Electronics can be recorded and
analysed.
The selection of the data to be recorded takes place in the menu "Signal assignment", which is selected through
the key "Signal assignment". In the "Off - mode" it is not possible to record signals, it is possible, however, to
process the recording parameters (menu "Signal assignment").
As a standard, it is possible to record up to 250 measuring values per measuring channel (maximum 4
channels). The maximum recording duration of the recording can be derived from the scanning rate set
multiplied with the number of the measuring values. The scanning rate as a minimum amounts to 4ms. Because
the first measured value is recorded at the point in time zero (start), the last measurement is situated one
scanning step before the end of the measuring duration.
The recording parameters (signal type, scanning rate, etc.) together with the parameters are saved on the card
and when saving to a file they are saved on the hard-disk.
The recorded measuring values are not saved with the parameters. However, there is the possibility of exporting
the recorded measuring values (key "Export").
With the help of the time cursor, the measuring values are displayed for every point in time.
When changing the mode "On-Line / Off-Line" and when terminating the PASO, the recorded measuring values

Auto-scaling
With this key, the curves are displayed in the graphics in an optimum manner. The
optimisation is only carried out for the inserted curves. The values “Scaling/Div” and
“Offset” of the corresponding channels ("Signal assignment"), are adapted for this
purpose. The auto-scaling is also operative during a recording.
Closing
With this key, one leaves the signal recording menu. Any recording data are kept and
these are displayed once more by a renewed selection of the menu.
HINT:
The signal "Solenoid current A/B" is averaged over one dither-period (even when setting the
dither-amplitude to 0). This causes a "staircase effect" in the signal recording at low
dither-frequencies. The real solenoid current does not showing this effect!

9PASO DSV/SD6 Installation and Operation
The parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 serves for the parameterising and diagnosing of all Electronic
cards SD6 of the WANDFLUH AG company. The software provides a user interface, through which by means of
a keyboard or a mouse all adjustments and settings can easily be carried out. The communication with the digital
card takes place through a USB-interface.
The parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 can only be utilised in connection with a SD6-Electronics
of the WANDFLUH AG company.
9.1System presupposition
A description of the different PASO versions is located in the file "history.pdf". This file is located in the directory
where the PASO will be installed.
In order to be able to correctly utilise the PASO, an IBM-compatible PC with the following requirements has to be
available:
·Processor 486 or higher, min. 33MHz, min. 8MB RAM
Recommended: 80586 66MHz or higher, 16 MB RAM or more
·Free harddisk storage space of minimum 4MB, plus storage space for program files
·Operating system Windows 2000 or Windows XP (Windows Vista on request)
·Standard VGA or higher graphics card, recommended resolution 800x600
·At least one USB interface (USB 1.1 or USB 2.0)
·USB cable type A => B, male/male
9.2Installation
The PASO software can be downloaded via the Internet free of charge (www.wandfluh.com/Download => PASO
DSV/SD6 => Download Program files) or on request delivered on an installation-CD.
The installation of the PASO is then carried out by executing the file "setupPasoDSVvxxxx.exe", where "xxxx"
means the current version (e.g. setupPasoDSVv1000.exe, see also version index). An installation program takes
over the complete installation of PASO. To them, the Windows Installer must be installed. This is normally a part
of the Windows Environment. If not, please download it from the Microsoft Website.
If there is already a version of the PASO software installed on the PC, one can select if the existing version
should be overwritten or removed.
The helpfiles are included in the setup and are installed automatically.
9.3Connection to the Wandfluh card
The connection between the PC, on which the parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 is installed, and the
SD6-Electronics takes place through the USB interface. To do this, a USB cable type A => B, male/male has to
be connected with the desired USB port on the PC and with the USB socket on the SD6-Electronics.
During the installation of the parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6, the used USB driver for the
SD6-Electronics will be installed automatically. A new installation of this driver is possible. In the directory, where
the parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 is installed, there is a sub directory "USB_Driver". In this sub
directory, there is a file "PreInstaller.exe". With executing this file, the installation of the USB driver is possible.
If the USB driver for the SD6-Electronics is installed correctly, it must be shown in the Windows Devicemanager
in the "USB-Controller" as "Wandfluh AG - SD6" while a SD6-Electronics is connected to the PC.
Hint:The USB driver is not Windows certificated. Therefore a Windows warning message appears during
installation with Windows XP. Please click "install" to continue installation. The PC will not be
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
damaged. The same warning messege apears by connecting a SD6-Electronics to the PC the first time. In this
case please click "install". Both warning messages appear only with Windows XP. They do not appear
with Windows 2000.
9.4Mode "Off Line" and "On Line"
The parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 runs in one of two modes:
·In the "Off Line"-mode, the processing of the parameter files is possible. This has no influence in a possible
connected Wandfluh-Electronics. The communication with the Wandfluh-Electronics is not active. A
connection is allowed, but not necessary.
All menu points and keys, which involve an action in connection with the communication, are then blocked.
·In the "On Line"-mode, there is active communication with the Wandfluh-Electronics. Every change
becomes immediately effective in the Wandfluh-Electronics. In this mode, the loading and processing of files
is not possible. Only the saving of the currently active parameters to a file is possible.
There is permanent communication between the PASO DSV/SD6 and the connected Wandfluh-Electronics.
Because of that, it is not allowed to disconnect the connection to the Wandfluh-Electronics or to
switch off the Wandfluh-Electronics in the "On Line"-mode.
The change between the two modes takes place through the menu point ”File_Activate On Line / Activate Off
Line”. Near it, it's possible to select if the data should take over from the Wandfluh-Electronics (data flow
Wandfluh-Electronics => PASO) or if the Wandfluh-Electronics should be reprogramed with the new actual data
(data flow PASO => Wandfluh-Electronics).
In case of an interference in the communication, the controlling of the Wandfluh-Electronics is not assured
anymore. An error message follows and the PASO DSV/SD6 software automatically changes over to the "Off
Line"-mode (refer to section "Communication interruption").
83
9.5Communication start up
When the parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 is started up, a check takes place, as to whether a
communication with the Wandfluh-Electronics is possible. If no communication can be established, an error
message appears (refer to section "Communication interruption"). If a communication with the connected
card is possible, a check will be made, whether the current configuration of the PASO DSV/SD6 corresponds to
the configuration of the connected Wandfluh-Electronics. If yes, the parameters will be transferred from the
Wandfluh-Electronics to the PASO DSV/SD6. If no, a message will be displayed and the current configuration
from the PASO DSV/SD6 will change automatically over to the new configuration and the parameters will be
transferred from the Wandfluh-Electronics to the PASO DSV/SD6.
If several Wandfluh-Electronic devices are connected via the USB-Interface, the following window appears:
83
Here, the desired device for the communication start up can be selected.
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
9.6Communication interruption
If no communication is possible during the start up or the interruption of the communication occurs during the
operation of the parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6, then an error message appears and the PASO
DSV/SD6 software is set to the "Off Line"-mode. All menu points and keys, which involve an action in connection
with the communication, are now blocked. In order to re-establish a communication, the menu point
”File_Activate On Line” has to be selected.
Possible reasons for no communication is possible during the start up are:
·Wrong Device type
The device type must be SD6. The picture in the PASO must be as follows:
If there is another picture, go trough the following steps:
- Menu "File - New" (only possible in the OFF-Line mode)
34
- "Would you like to retain the current configuration?" say "No"
- Select device type "SD6" => "OK"
- Select the desired function => "OK"
- Select the desired number of solenoid => "OK"

You can see these items also in the OFF-Line mode and without power supply on the SD6 card. If these
items are not visible, there is a problem with the USB driver or with the USB connection. To check the USB
driver, go through the following steps:
- Select in the Windows "Start - System - Hardware - Device Manager"
- In the item "USB-Controller" the entry "Wandfluh AG - SD6" must be written
- If this entry is missing, no USB connection to the SD6 card is available => check the USB cable
- If the entry "Wandfluh AG - SD6" is marked with a yellow mark, double click on it and reinstall the driver
- If you have to look for a driver, the directory is "location\PasoDSVSD6v....\USB_Driver" (the location is the
directory where the PASO is installed)
To check the USB connection, go through the following steps:
- take out the USB cable
- wait 10s
- reconnect the USB cable
·SD6 card not supplied
If step 1 and 2 are ok, but there is still no communication possible, be sure that the SD6 card is supplied with

Following the successful installation, the parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 can be started by
double-clicking on the PASO DSV/SD6 - icon. Certain settings of the PASO DSV/SD6 software, e.g., the
selected interface port, are saved in the file ”konfig.kon”. When PASO DSV/SD6 is started for the first time, the
configuration values in this file are set to standard values. During the course of running the program, these
values can be corrected.
After the start-up, the Start window appears:
During the start-up, the parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 checks, whether a Wandfluh-Electronics
device is connected. If no communication can be established, an error message appears (refer to section
"Communication interruption") and the "Off Line"-mode will become active. All menu points and keys, which
83
involve an action in connection with the communication, are then blocked. All other functions of the
parameterisation software PASO DSV/SD6 can be utilised without any limitation.
If the communication works without any interference, the software PASO DSV/SD6 checks, whether the current
configuration of the PASO DSV/SD6 corresponds with the configuration of the connected digital controller card. If
no, a message will be displayed and the current configuration from the PASO DSV/SD6 will change
automatically over to the new configuration
Subsequently the parameters are loaded from the card and subsequently a verification of the
Wandfluh-Electronics values takes place. If one or several parameters are outside the corresponding tolerance,
they are replaced with standard values and a message is issued (refer so section "Limiting value error"). The
87
changed parameters can be either sent directly to the connected Wandfluh-Electronics or the communication
start-up can be terminated (the "Off-Line"-mode will become active). In the latter case the user has the possibility
to correct the parameters in "Off-Line"-mode. The communication is resumed again via the menu point
”File_Activate On Line”. Subsequently the user has to select the option ”Reprogram the Wandfluh-Electronics”,
in order for the corrected values to be made active on the Wandfluh-Electronics.
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
In the header line of the window, the name of the current file is always displayed. If no existing file has been
loaded or if the data have not been saved to a file, then this line reads ”noname”.
The following states will be displayed in the status line:
PASO state:
·1st field:Selected interface ("USB")
·2nd field:Current mode ("On Line" or "Off Line", refer to section "Mode "Off Line" and "On Line""
82
Device state:
·1nd field:Operating mode ("Remote PASO" or "Local", refer to section "Mode of operation")
·2nd field:Characteristic optimisation ("KL-Optimierung", refer to section "Characteristic optimisation")
·3th field:Mode of operation ("Remote PASO" or "Local", refer to section "Mode of operation")
·4th fieldSetup mode ("Setup mode", refer to section "Setup mode")
·5th field:SD6 state ("Disabled" or "Active", refer to section "SD6 State machine")
·6th field:Error state (Ready or Error, refer to section "Analysis_Diagnostic")

9.9Store parameter
Each new input value is immediately transferred to the connected Wandfluh-Electronics after the completion of
the input field (either by pushing the key ENTER or by activating another input field).
If the window is closed with the key "OK", the values are stored in the Wandfluh-Electronics so that they are
available after the Wandfluh-Electronics are switched on again (non-volatile memory).
If the window is closed with the key "Cancel", the previous current values are active again. All inputs made in the
current window are cancelled.
9.10Limiting value error
Each incoming parameter (either transferred via the serial interface or loaded from a file) is checked against the
limiting value. If a parameter is smaller or bigger than its limiting value (= limiting value error), it is set
automatically to the default value and the following window appears:
Operating instructions to Enhanced Controller module SD6
Parameter:
Name of the parameter with the limiting value error
Current value:
Current value of the parameter
Min. value:
Minimum allowed value of the parameter
Max. value:
Maximum allowed value of the parameter
Default value:
Default value of the parameter
· loading a file, in which parameter values have been changed from outside
· reading parameter values from a Wandfluh-Electronics device with another configuration than the current
configuration in the PASO (only if the Wandfluh-Electronics were changed while in the "On Line"-mode)
· if the transmission of the parameter values is wrong
After pressing the key "OK", the current value is overwritten by the default value.
Normally, a limiting value error does not happen. However, in the following cases it can happen:
