Electrohydraulic operation
Hydraulic pilot spool with coil Proportional electrohydraulic control is usually generated by a controller or electronic actuator.
The controller or electronic actuator regulates the current supplied to the valve’s solenoid coil based on a reference signal from an input device.
The current produces a magnetic field that moves the armature, which in turn moves the hydraulic spool or spool of the pilot section, or in some cases acts directly on the spool.
The coils all have resistance, which usually varies with temperature. For good electro-hydraulic control, it is necessary to be able to regulate the current to accommodate temperature/resistance variations.
PWM
The proportional control of a valve depends on the use of a PWM signal. The frequency used is constant and usually depends on the design of the valve.
The percentage of time that the output is high or “on” during each frequency cycle is called the modulation ratio (MR).
If the output is “on” 50% of the time during each cycle, the modulation ratio is 50%.
The apparent voltage is approximately half of the system voltage, which drives a certain amount of current through the coil, resulting in hydraulic pressure and flow.
The system voltage and coil resistance affect the current through the coil. The higher the apparent voltage, the higher the current through the fixed resistance.
As the temperature of the coil increases, so does its resistance.
Since coil resistance varies with temperature, the current through the coil varies with temperature even if the voltage remains constant.
The EH valve has three key parameters:
Minimum Current – The current that passes through the coil when hydraulic fluid begins to flow. When the current is less than the minimum current, no oil will flow through the valve.
Valve.
Maximum Current – The current through the coil at which maximum flow of oil through the valve is achieved.
Deadband – The amount of change in the corresponding input before a flow command is sent to the output of the valve.
