Functional description
Amplifier card Model VT 5036 converts an input voltage signal
proportionally into output current to power a proportional solenoid. Dependent on the amount of current to the solenoid, the
force is proportionally transmitted to the pumps proportional flow
control valve. These electronic amplifiers control pumps Model
AA10VSO with controls type FE with swashplate positional feedback for excellent accuracy and repeatability.
The input voltage from the power supply on pins 6ac and 10ac
powers the card and is also fed through a voltage regulator (8)
which filters, suppresses and smooths the voltage and divides its
18 V output over pins 14ac and 16ac with reference potential to
“measured zero” on pin 18ac. From pin 16ac the +9 volts may be
manipulated externally via a simple potentiometer (see above),
reed switches, dry circuit relays etc., and then used as command
input signal to the amplifier at pin 26c.
The card will also accept a differential analog input via pins 22a
and 24c. The differential signal is compared in the differential
amplifier (11) and then the differential voltage is output. Pin 22a
must have a 0–10 volt potential with respect to pin 24c and the
signal to both pins must be made or broken simultaneously. An
optional external +6 V input command may be used at pin 24a.
The ramp generator (1) distributes a stepped input signal into a
slowly increasing output signal over an adjustable period of time.
The time or “slope” of the output signal curve may be adjusted for
both “up” and “down” ramps. These potentiometers are adjustable from the cards face plate and allow signal vs. time ramping
of up to 5 seconds. A clockwise rotation of trim pot will increase
the ramp time. In addition, a face plate mounted switch, or internal
contact relay “d1” allows the ramps to be switched “off” or “on”
when desired.
After the inputs and outputs are connected, the input voltage at pin
26c is passed to the ramp generator (1); the output signal of the
ramp generator (1) then travels to the PD loop (2). The oscillator
(4) converts a DC signal into AC voltage (frequency 2.5 kHz) which
is used at the inductive positional transducer [LVDT (9)]. The
output voltage from the LVDT is varied depending on the position
of the pumps swashplate, then the resulting output is feedback to
the demodulator (5) where the AC voltage is converted back to DC
voltage. The matching amplifier (6) amplifies the feedback voltage
from demodulator (5) and limits its maximum value to –6 V, then
inputs this value (actual value) to the PD loop (2) where it is
compared with the output signal (signal value) from the ramp
generator (1). A resulting signal is produced from the differential
between the signal value and the actual value. The cable break
detector (7) continuously monitors the cable connection of the
feedback. In the case of a cable break, the LED (10), located on
the face plate, provides visual indication that the feedback wires
have been disconnected.
A combined signal is then transmitted to the power amplifier (3a).
Through modulation of the PMW oscillator (3b), a pulse width is
generated, which in turn is used to switch the output stage (3c).
The output signal travels through the output stage (3c) supplying
a current of up to 700 mA to the proportional solenoid. Two test
points, BU1 and BU2, are located on the face plate of the card. The
input voltage (signal value) 0 to +6 V may be measured across test
points BU2 to ensure the input is correct. Likewise, the feedback
voltage (actual value) may be easily checked using test points
BU1.
An optional external potentiometer may be connected to allow
external adjustment (see above). P1 and P2 potentiometers with
an external adjustment act as limiters. Note, the maximum ramp
time of 5 seconds can only be achieved over a full voltage range,
if a lower command signal < +9 V is selected then the ramp time
will be correspondingly reduced.

Additional information
– Turn off power before connecting or disconnecting the amplifier card.
– Measurements to be made with a high impedence meter!
– Signal common or, measured zero (M0) is regulated above 9 V with respect to 0 V power supply, therefore, “M0” may not be
connected to “0 V” of power supply voltage, or externally grounded!
– Radio transmitters or similar devices should not be used within 3 ft (1 m) of this card!
– Switches used for input signals must handle currents under 1 mA (dry circuit contacts, reed switches).
– Shield all control voltage and feedback wires, connect the card end of shield to panel ground on the enclosure and leave one
end of the shield open.
– Do not run the solenoid wires in the vicinity of power wires!
– Input and output terminals which are labeled with the suffix “ac” are internally connected, therefore connections may be made
to either terminals “a” or “c”.
– When using K1, terminal 8ac may be used as the voltage supply line. However, a 24 V DC output may also be used.
– If during start-up the valve shifts “fully over” and there is no control, the feedback connections are probably reversed.
– If instability occurs, bleed the air from the solenoids with electronics deactivated!
