Functionality Tree
The tree below illustrates the availability of the PVED for steering by joystick, mini wheel with speed
output or by potentiometer-like steering devices. The manufacturing default functionality is found by
following the red line. Following the instructions in this chapter can of course modify the default. The
switches in the tree are used to select the functionality required. In case different functionalities are
required, the EHPS software provides 5 programs from which the driver can select when the system is
fully operative.

Select the Control Principle
The PVED-CL provides open loop control for steering devices with spring return or for steering devices
with a speed output,. This control principle keeps a fixed or variable relation between steering input and
cylinder speed. The control loop provides several parameters to transform positional information to port
flow.
Cp is used to select open loop control for joystick steering by setting parameter index 4y02 equal to 0.
Parameter selection values: Y selects the program and ranges from 0 and 9.
