The electronic control card type REM-S has been designed to drive single solenoid proportional valves
REM-S Series Proportional Valve Amplifier without integral position transducer. The control card is enclosed in an "OCTAL" type housing, a typi-
cal (8 pin) relay mounting standard.
The output stage operates on the pulse width modulation principle (P.W.M.) and is provided with cur-
Electrical Circuit and Connections rent feedback in order to obtain a solenoid output current proportional to the reference input signal.
Sup (2-7) Power Supply Output short circuit and supply polarity inversion protection is provided.
Out (1-4) Output to external potentiometer Gain, minimum current and rise and fall ramp time adjustments are possible through the corresponding
Ref (3) Reference front panel trimming potentiometers, while the output current to the solenoid can be measured via the
SO (5-6) Output at solenoid Valve Current test points and the ramp operation can be excluded.

REM-S
For Single Solenoid Proportional Valve
Calibration procedure
Connect the card in the proper way following the previous page diagram but without powering it. Turn completely anticlockwise the 4 100 (%)
trimming potentiometers and position the reference potentiometer on zero. Before powering the card, ensure that any unforseen
hydraulic system movement cannot cause material damage or injury to people. Power now the card; the green LED should light up. 75
GAIN

Minimum current or polarization current adjustment 50

Turn slowly the minimum current trimming potentiometer clockwise(Imin) until an actuator movement can be visually detected. Turn
slowly anticlockwise the potentiometer: the minimum current setting will be adjusted correctly when the actuator movement stops. 25 . min.
For the REMD model with minimum initial threshold current, turn the reference potentiometer up to a Vref of 50mV
Ref.

Maximum current GAIN Adjustment +5 +10 (V)

Turn first the ramp time trimming potentiometers clockwise by at least 10 turns, if the system could be damaged by a too fast sole-
noid operation (evaluate the application carefully). The maximum actuator speed can now be adjusted.
Turn the (reference signal) potentiometer to its maximum setting and rotate slowly the GAIN trimming potentiometer (GAIN) until the
maximum required speed is obtained. The speed can now be varied by moving the potentiometer. The GAIN setting could change
the Imin current setting. For this reason it’s better to recheck the Imin after GAIN setting.
0. 05

Ramp time adjustment

The ramp time is the time taken to pass from the minimum to the maximum current valve, and vice versa. It’s adjustable from a minimum
of Os up to a maximum of 10seconds (to reach the maximum current value set). Turning clockwise the trimming potentiometer, the ramp time increases.

Notes:
- The ramp fall time affects the actuator stop position. Moving the reference potentiometer to zero Volt, the actuator goes on moving till the set ramp time is elapsed.
Therefor it’s necessary to adjust it properly.
- When the overload red LED lights up, it will be necessary to switch off the power to the card, switching it on again after having eliminated the cause of overload.

DIP switch table

Six miniature switches are mounted internally on one of the REM sides. The REM configuration to suit any particular application can be implemented by setting
these switches, which can be reached through the unit ventilating slots.
PWM frequency (100 to 330 Hz), minimum (continuous or step) current, reference voltage range and maximum current (Imax) can thus be adjusted.
