Description/
Theory of Operation

A proportional solenoid valve provides infinitely variable control of flow, pressure, or

direction in response to an electric input signal. The electric signal utilizes a current
control feature in the driver and a pulse width modulation (PWM) output. It is necessary
to utilize a current control driver because it outputs a constant current regardless of
changes in system voltage, line losses or temperature. Generally, the PWM is a square
wave from 80 to 500 Hz, however, a 100 to 200 Hz signal is recommended.

Coil is a winding of enamelled copper wire, able to withstand high temperatures and
then encapsulated in melted plastic or resin. There could be two wires that exit this
plastic covering so that they can be connected externally.
Tube is made up of a plunger and a fixed core. When electricity passes through the coil
it creates a magnetic field that causes them to attract.

Refer to Cartridge Valves Technical Information 520L0588 for all the other coil specifications. The valve
chosen will determine the coil specifications.

Verify the PWM Frequency is set correctly in the PLUS+1 controller. The default is set at
4000 Hz which will significantly reduce the proportional valve performance.

All coils are clearly marked to identify the connection arrangement. The figure shows
one method of identification. Another method identifies the connection arrangement
with the number one as positive and the number two as negative. If the coil uses lead
wires they will be color coded red as positive and black as negative. If both wires are
black then the connection arrangement does not matter.

All coils are not polarity sensitive unless they have an internal diode. When connecting a
coil without a diode there are two connections to make, a positive and negative. When
utilizing a diode the positive leg must be connected to pin 1. Pin 1 is identified by a 1 or
+ molded in the coil. If you are using lead wires they are generally red and black.
