Proportional flow valves type QVHZO-A*, QVKZOR-A*

pressure compensated, direct operated, without position transducer, ISO 4401 size 06 and 10

QVHZO and QVKZOR are 2 or 3 flow pro-

portional valves, direct operated without
position transducer, which provide com-
pensated flow control according to the
electronic reference signal.
They operate in association with electronic
drivers, see section 쪨 which supply the
proportional valves with correct current
signal to align valve regulation to the refe-
rence signal supplied to the electronic driver.
They are available in different executions:
• -A, without position transducer;
8 • -AE, -AES, as -A plus analogue (AE) or
digital (AES) integral electronics;
The flow is controlled by a throttle ,
directly operated by the proportional sole-
noid . The mechanical pressure com-
 Valve body pensator  keeps a constant Δp across

4 GENERAL NOTES

QVHZO and QVKZOR proportional valves are CE marked according to the applicable Directives (e.g. Immunity/Emission EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive).
Installation, wirings and start-up procedures must be performed according to the general prescriptions shown in table F003 and in the installation notes
supplied with relevant components.
The electrical signals of the valve (e.g. monitor signals) must not be directly used to activate safety functions, like to switch-ON/OFF the machine’s safety
components, as prescribed by the European standards (Safety requirements of fluid technology systems and components-hydraulics, EN-982).

5 OPTIONS FOR -A EXECUTION

5.1 Option /6 6 VDC coil instead of standard 12 VDC, to be used in case of power supply 12 VDC
5.2 Option /18 18 VDC coil instead of standard 12 VDC, to be used with electronic drivers not supplied by Atos
5.3 Option /D This option provides a quick venting of the user line when the valve is closed or de-energized.
The following options allow to operate the valve in absence of electrical power supply by means of a micrometric screw replacing the standard solenoid
manual override, see table K500
5.4 Option /N manual micrometric adjustment
5.5 Option /NV as N plus handwheel and graduated scale

7 ANALOG INTEGRAL DRIVERS -AE - OPTIONS

Standard driver execution provides on the 7 pin main connector:

Power supply - 24VDC must be appropriately stabilized or rectified and filtered; a 2,5 A safety fuse is required in series to the driver power supply.
Apply at least a 10000 μF/40 V capacitance to single phase rectifiers or a 4700 μF/40 V capacitance to three phase rectifiers
Reference input signal - analog differential input with 0÷+10VDC nominal range (pin D,E), proportional to desired coil current
Monitor output signal - analog output signal proportional to the actual valve’s coil current (1V monitor = 1A coil current)
Following options are available to adapt standard execution to special application requirements:
7.1 Option /I
It provides the 4÷20 mA current reference signal instead of the standard 0÷+10 VDC. Monitor output signal is still the standard 0÷+10VDC.
It is normally used in case of long distance between the machine control unit and the valve or where the reference signal can be affected by electrical
noise; the valve functioning is disabled in case of reference signal cable breakage.
7.2 Option /Q
It provides the possibility to enable or disable the valve functioning without cutting the power supply (the valve functioning is disabled but the driver cur-
rent output stage is still active). To enable the driver supply a 24VDC on the enable input signal.
7.3 Possible combined option: /IQ

to operate. During this time the current to the valve coils is switched to zero

9 DIGITAL INTEGRAL DRIVERS -AES - OPTIONS

Standard driver execution provides on the 7 pin main connector:
Power supply - 24VDC must be appropriately stabilized or rectified and filtered; a 2,5 A safety fuse is required in series to each driver power supply
Apply at least a 10000 μF/40 V capacitance to single phase rectifiers or a 4700 μF/40 V capacitance to three phase rectifiers.
Reference input signal - analog differential input with 0÷+10 VDC nominal range (pin D, E), proportional to desired coil current (4÷20 mA with
cable break detection, ±10 mA, ±20 mA or 0÷20 mA software selectable)
Monitor output signal - analog output signal proportional to the actual valve’s coil current (1V monitor = 1A coil current)
Following options are available to adapt standard execution to special application requirements:
9.1 Option /Q
To enable the driver, supply 24Vdc on pin C referred to pin B: when the enable signal is set to zero the valve status is software selectable, by factory
default the valve functioning is disabled (zero current to the solenoid) but the driver current output stage is still active. For the complete list of selectable
status, see tab. G115.
9.2 Option /Z
It provides, on the 12 pin main connector, the following additional features:
Logic power supply
Separated power supply for the solenoid (pin 1, 2) and for the digital electronic circuits (pin 9, 10).
Cutting solenoid power supply allows to interrupt the valve functioning but keeping energized the digital electronics thus avoiding fault conditions of the
machine fieldbus controller. This condition allows to realize safety systems in compliance with European Norms EN13849-1 (ex EN954-1).
Enable Input Signal
To enable the driver, supply 24Vdc on pin 3 referred to pin 2: when the enable signal is set to zero the valve status is software selectable, by factory
default the valve functioning is disabled (zero current to the solenoid) but the driver current output stage is still active. For the complete list of selectable
status, see tab. G115.
Fault Output Signal
Fault output signal indicates fault conditions of the driver (solenoid short circuits/not connected, reference signal cable broken for 4÷20mA input, etc.).
Fault presence corresponds to 0 VDC, normal working corresponds to 24VDC (pin 11 referred to pin 2): Fault status is not affected by the Enable input signal.
9.3 Option /W
It provides, on the 12 pin main connector, the above option /Z features plus the hydraulic power limitation function.
The driver receives the flow reference signal by the analog external input INPUT+ and a pressure transducer remotely installed in the hydraulic system,
has to be connected to the driver’s analog input TR.
When the actual requested hydraulic power pxQ (TR x INPUT+) reaches the max power limit (p1xQ1), internally set by software, the driver automatically
reduces the flow regulation of the valve. The higher is the pressure feedback the lower is the valve’s regulated flow:
PowerLimit [sw setting]
Flow regulation = Min ( ; Flow Reference [INPUT+] )
Transducer Pressure [TR]
For detailed information on hydraulic power limitation, see tab. G115

11 SOFTWARE TOOLS
The driver configuration and parameters can be easily set with the Atos E-SW programming software, available in three different versions according to the
driver’s communication execution: E-SW-PS (Serial), E-SW-BC (CANopen) and E-SW-BP (PROFIBUS DP). Programming software E-SW-BC and E-SW-
BP, for BC and BP drivers, can be also used to modify the valve’s parameterization through the serial communication interface, without disconnecting the
valve from the machine’s bus line.
For a more detailed description of software interface, PC requirements, adapters, cables and terminators, please refer to technical table G500.
Programming software, must be ordered separately:
E-SW-* (mandatory - first supply) = Dvd including E-SW-* software installer and operator manuals; it allows the registration to Atos digital service
E-SW-*-N (optional - next supplies) = as above but not allowing the registration to Atos digital service
On first supply of the E-SW-* software, it is required to apply for the registration in the Atos download area: www.download.atos.com.
Once the registration is completed, the password will be sent by email.
The software remains active for 10 days from the installation date and then it stops until the user inputs his password.
With the password you can also download, in your personal area, the latest releases of the Atos software, manuals, drivers and configuration files.
