Cable Specification
The connection of the valve electronic to a PC
requires a special cable. It may be ordered under
code 40982923. The cable has to be inserted
between an unused serial port COM1 or COM2 of
the PC and the 5pole socket connector of the valve
electronic (parametrizing connector).
Before connecting of the parametrizing cable
a cover plug has to be removed from the
electronic housing.
Attention! The valve electronic provides no
USB interface, but can only be parametrized
via an RS-232 - connection. Therefore the
usage of USB standard cables is permitted
and may result in damaging of valve resp. PC.

5. Operating Instructions
Basically the valve performs the task of converting a
command signal into a proportional spool stroke with
the highest possible dynamic. For these purposes
the input value will be electronically processed and
provides via a power amplifier stage the required
current for the valve solenoid.
