PRECAUTIONS DURING WORK
13. Before starting work, remove the leads from the battery. ALWAYS remove the lead from
the negative (-) terminal first.
14. When raising heavy components, use a hoist or crane.
Check that the wire rope, chains and hooks are free from damage.
Always use lifting equipment which has ample capacity.
Install the lifting equipment at the correct places. Use a hoist or crane and operate slowly
to prevent the component from hitting any other part. Do not work with any part still
raised by the hoist or crane.
15. When removing covers which are under internal pressure or under pressure from a spring,
always leave two bolts in position on opposite sides. Slowly release the pressure, then
slowly loosen the bolts to remove.
16. When removing components, be careful not to break or damage the wiring, Damaged
wiring may cause electrical fires.
17. When removing piping, stop the fuel or oil from spilling out. If any fuel or oil drips on to
the floor, wipe it up immediately. Fuel or oil on the floor can cause you to slip, or can
even start fires.
18. As a general rule, do not use gasoline to wash parts.
19. Be sure to assemble all parts again in their original places. Replace any damaged part
with new parts.
When installing hoses and wires, be sure that they will not be damaged by contact
with other parts when the machine is being operated.
20. When installing high pressure hoses, make sure that they are not twisted. Damaged tubes
are dangerous, so be extremely careful when installing tubes for high pressure circuits.
Also check that connecting parts are correctly installed.
21. When assembling or installing parts, always use the specified tightening torques. When
installing protective parts such as guards, or parts which vibrate violently or rotate at high
speed, be particularly careful to check that they are installed correctly.
22. When aligning two holes, never insert your fingers or hand. Be careful not to get your
fingers caught in a hole.
23. When measuring hydraulic pressure, check that the measuring tool is correctly assembled
before taking any measurements.
24. Take care when removing or installing the tracks of track-type machines. When removing
the track, the track separates suddenly, so never let anyone stand at either end of the
track.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Environment NOTICE

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPERATION


AND MAINTENANCE OF HYDRAULIC MINING SHOVELS

OPERATION

Avoid engine idling over long periods. Long periods of idling, more than 10 minutes,
will not only waste fuel, but is also harmful to the engine.
Avoid operation against the main relief valves of the hydraulic system. Move control
lever to neutral position before the loader attachment stalls due to overload.
Position trucks in such a way, that loading operation can be carried out in a safe and
economic manner. Avoid swing angles over 90.

MAINTENANCE

Preserve our environment. To prevent environmental pollution, pay careful attention


to the method of disposing waste materials.
Always drain fluids from your machine into containers. Never drain fluids onto the
ground or dump it into the sewage system, rivers, the sea or lakes.
Dispose of harmful material, such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters and batteries in
accordance with environmental regulations and laws.

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
HOISTING
Heavy parts (25 kg or more) must be lifted with a hoist etc.

If a part cannot be smoothly removed from the machine by hoisting,


the following checks should be made:
1. Check for removal of all bolts fastening the part to the relative
parts.
2. Check for existence of another part causing interface with the part
to be removed.

WIRE ROPES
1. Use adequate ropes depending on the weight of parts to be hoisted, referring
to the table below:
Wire ropes
(Standard "Z" or "S" twist ropes without galvanizing)
Rope diameter
[mm]

10,0

11,2 12,5 14,0 16,0 18,0 20,0 22,4 30,0 40,0 50,0 60,0

Allowable
load [tons]

1,4

1,6

2,2

2,8

3,6

4,4

5,6

10,0 18,0 28,0 40,0

The allowable load value is estimated to be 1/6 or 1/7 of the breaking


strength of the rope used.

2. Sling wire ropes from the middle portion of the hook. Slinging near the edge
of the hook may cause the rope to slip off the hook during hoisting, and a
serious accident can result. Hooks have maximum strength at the middle
portion.

00-5

FOREWORD

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

WIRE ROPES
3. Do not sling a heavy load with one rope alone, but sling with two or more
ropes symmetrically wound on to the load.
Slinging with one rope may cause turning of the load during hoisting,
untwisting of the rope, or slipping of the rope from its original
winding position on the load, which can result in a dangerous
accident.
4. Do not sling a heavy load with ropes forming a wide hanging angle from the
hook. When hoisting a load with two or more ropes, the force subjected to
each rope will increase with the hanging angles. The table below shows the
variation of allowable load (kg) when hoisting is made with two ropes, each of
which is allowed to sling up to 1000 kg vertically, at various hanging angles.
When two ropes sling a load vertically, up to 2000 kg of total weight can be
suspended. This weight becomes 1000 kg when two ropes make a 120
hanging angle. On the other hand, two ropes are subject to an excessive force
as large as 4000 kg if they sling a 2000 kg load at a lifting angle of 150.

CONVERSION TABLE

CONVERSION TABLE
METHOD OF USING THE CONVERSION TABLE
The Conversion Table in this section is provided to enable simple conversion of
figures. For details of the method of using the Conversion Table, see the example
given below.
EXAMPLE
Method of using the Conversion Table to convert from millimeters to inches.
1. Convert 55 mm into inches.
(a) Locate the number 5 in the vertical column at the left side, take this as (A),
then draw a horizontal line from (A).
(b) Locate the number 5 in the row across the top, take this as (B), then draw a
perpendicular line down from (B).
(c) Take the point where the two lines cross as (C). This point (C) gives the
value
when
converting
from
millimeters
to
inches.
Therefore, 55 millimeters = 2.165 inches.
2. Convert 550 mm into inches.
(a) The number 550 does not appear in the table, so divide by 10 (move the
decimal one place to the left) to convert it to 55 mm.
(b) Carry out the same procedure as above to convert 55 mm to 2.165 inches.
(c) The original value (550 mm) was divided by 10, so multiply 2.165 inches
by 10 (move the decimal one place to the right) to return to the original
value. This gives 550 mm = 21.65 inches.

Design:
VULASTIC-L coupling type are provided with two flexible rubber
elements (5 + 8). The flexible ring connect the input drive hub (2) via input
drive flange (4) with the output drive hub (3) of the coupling.
Function:
The high flexible LULASTICL coupling transfers the torque without any
rotational gap. They are wear-resisting and maintenance free. Because of
symmetrical arrangement of the flexible rings, there are no returning forces
either by the torque transfer or the centrifugal forces.
VULASTIC-L couplings dampen rotating vibrations, reducing same by
partial storing of the shock energy and damp noises.
The coupling allows in an acceptable range axial, radial and angular
misalignment of the shafts.

Repair and replacement have to be carried out according to Parts &


Service News AH01523, last edition.

Description
The pump distribution gear (PTO gear) is of a spur gear design and driven by
an diesel engine.
The PTO gear runs in antifriction bearings and has been provided with a splash
lubrication system. The oil supply of the bearings and tooth contacts takes
place by an injection. The gearwheels are of case-hardened steel.
The hydraulic pumps are directly attached to the gearbox. O-rings included in
the supply enable the unit to be reliably sealed statically.
The gearbox housing is of one-piece design and made of grey cast iron.
Gearbox design allows a direct attachment to the engine via connection flange.
The gearbox has been provided with connections for a separate cooling system
resp. for heating rods. For more information refer to the REPAIR MANUAL
Description for the lubrication see next pages.

(M)
Configuration, main pump drives
(A)
Configuration, auxiliary pump drives
All drive shaft housings are filled with the same gear oil as the pump
distributor gear.
This is done for two reasons:
1. To lubricate the multi-spline connections, to prevent wear and corrosion.
2. It makes it easier to determine a sealring leak at one of the drive shaft
connections.
Function:
M
If the oil level increases the oil drops out of the breather pipe (1).
If this oil is gear oil it indicates a possible leak at the gearbox side.
If the oil is a mixture of gear oil and hydraulic oil it shows a possible
leak at the pump side.
If at an oil level check a loss of oil is found it may be due to worn or
defective radial seal rings.
Function:
A
The oil is filled in via the oil collector reservoir (2). All auxiliary drive
shaft housings are connected by pipes with the reservoir. The reservoir
is filled approx. one half with oil.
If the oil level in the reservoir increases due to leakage the oil drops out
from the breather filter (with oil level gauge) on top of the reservoir.
Now a check has to be done to find out which one of the drive shafts
seals is damaged.
It can be done by disconnecting temporary the pipe to the reservoir.
Disconnect the pipe at the drive shaft housing, plug the pipe and leave
the union open.
If now at operation the oil still comes out of the union, this drive shaft
seal is gone.
Otherwise check sequential all auxiliary drives.

Function:
Pump (8.2) forces the gear oil from the gear oil pan through filter (20) to
pressure relief valve (21). This pressure relief valve acts as a back pressure
valve causing that most of the oil passes through the gear oil coolers
(17.1+17.2).
The gear oil coolers are a small part of the hydraulic oil coolers, thus the gear
oil gets cooled by the same air stream as the hydraulic oil. From the coolers
the oil flows to the port (P) of the gear and internally via a system of pipes to
the several spray nozzles.
The spray nozzles in the gear case ensure proper and adequate distribution of the
lube oil.
The circuit is monitored by the pressure switches (B17-1). At too low lube oil
pressure (0.5 bar), a fault message will be displayed on the monitor at the dash
board.
The gear oil temperature is monitored by the sensor unit (B49-1). At too high oil
temperature a fault message will be displayed on the monitor at the dash board.

The hydraulic oil tank is a welded sheet-metal construction.
The capacity is about 3700 litres. The tank contains four return oil filters (3A) and one case drain filter (3-B).
The breather filter (92.1 + 92.2) cleans the air that streams into the tank.
The back pressure valve (55) and the pressure check point (M10) are located
at the collector tube (54) for return oil.
The connection to the suction tank can be closed with the shut- off valve (87)
to prevent oil flow during repairs on the hydraulic pumps. This unit is
controlled by the switch S31, it makes sure a motor start is not possible with a
closed shut-off valve. Fault message Start blocked because of main Shut-Off

Task:
The strainer is installed to prevent the hydraulic oil coolers from getting
clogged up in case of contamination in the main return circuit oil.
Excessive increase of the hydraulic oil temperature can be an indication for a
restricted strainer, i.e. bad cooling performance due to insufficient oil flow
through the coolers.
In case that main components such as cylinders or motors are internal
fragmentary damaged, the strainer should be inspected for metal chips.

Task:
The back pressure valve has to fulfill two functions in the hydraulic system:
1. To ensure a sufficient pressure within the return oil circuit, i.e. to supply
oil via the anticavitaton valves to the low pressure side of cylinders,
respectively motors.
2. To force the return oil through the coolers depending on the present
hydraulic oil temperature, controlled by solenoid valve Y101.
- Low temperature low volume through the coolers
- High temperature high volume through the coolers

Necessary for evacuation of the suction oil reservoir, when changing the
hydraulic oil. Prior servicing the main hydraulic pumps it is advisable to
empty the suction oil reservoir partially.
B - Transfusing oil from return oil collector tube and back-pressure valve
pipe into main oil reservoir. Necessary when changing the hydraulic oil
and prior to servicing the high pressure filters, the main control valves,
or hydraulic oil cooler (oil return system).

Function:
The returning oil flows into the filter chamber (A) of the hydraulic tank. (The
sketch shows one section only).
The chamber is split into two sections; one section with 4 filter elements for the
return oil (10 micron) and another section with one filter element for the leak oil
(3 micron). But the structure of the five filter assemblies is basically the same.
The hydraulic oil enters the filter at the top and passes then on its way to the
entire tank the filter-element (7). "Inside to outside filtration."
The filter element condition is monitored by a pressure switch (B25, 0.5 bar for
the leak oil filter) and (B26, 2 bar for the return oil filter).
As soon as the pressure inside the filter chamber reaches the set pressure of those
switches due to the restriction of the filter-element which is caused by foreign
matters, the fault message Return oil filter restricted" or Leak oil filter
restricted is displayed at the operator's dash board The filter elements must be
replaced. For safety pre-cautions the filter is equipped with a by-pass valve. As
the filter chamber pressure increases the by-pass valve opens at 2.3 bar and
protects the element from bursting.
But the oil flows not totally unfiltered into the tank because it must flow through
the strainer (8).

The switch point of the pressure switch for the leak oil has been
chosen so low with best intention to protect first of all the radial seal
rings of the hydraulic motors.

Design:
There are four hydraulic oil coolers in front of the hydraulic tank on the R.H.
side of the platform.
They are in pairs mounted in one frame, one above the other. The air stream
needed for the cooling is produced by hydraulic driven fans. The air flows
from inside to outside through the coolers.
For a better cleaning, the coolers can be moved to the side. ("Swing out
cooler")
The bearing group carrier is filled with oil to lubricate the bearings.

Function:
The returning oil from the system flows via the lines (L6 - L7) into the
collector tube (54). On the top of it is the Back Pressure Valve (55) installed.
The back pressure valve (55) causes a back pressure which forces most of the
relative hot oil through the lines (H) to the cooler (39.1 + 39.2).
On its flow through the cooler the hydraulic oil gets cooled and flows than
through the restrictors (32.1 - 32.4) and the lines (C) into the filter chamber of
the main oil reservoir (41).
The restrictors are acting like shock absorbers to prevent cooler cracking at
pressure peaks.
Besides the back pressure valve acts as an oil flow control valve as far as the
oil temperature has not reached its steady temperature.
During the warm up period (1/2 Qmax) the back pressure valve (55) is wide
open, because solenoid valve Y101 is energized, which results in less oil flow
through the cooler which causes that the oil gets its optimum operating
temperature quicker.
With increasing oil temperature the oil gets thinner, so that the main pumps
can be shifted to Qmax position and simultaneously solenoid valve Y101 will
be de-energized, so that the valve piston will be more closed by the force of
the spring thus that more oil passes the cooler.

Function:
From pump (5.1) flows the oil through the filter (34.1) to the fan motors (37.1 + 37.2)
and then back to the tank.
The check valve (38) act as an anti cavitation valve and is installed, because the fan
motor -driven by inertial force- is running for a short period after the oil flow is
inerrupted by solenoid valve (Y6a/b), or if the motor has been switched off.
The hydraulic circuit "Fan drive" is secured by the pilot controlled pressure relief
valves (31.1) and (124).
These valves are working together with the solenoid valve (Y6a/b), controlled by the
ECS system, depending on the hydraulic oil temperature:
With de-energized solenoids Y6a and Y6b the relief valve (31.1) is
functioning and the fans are running with max. adjusted speed (1250 RPM)
With solenoid Y6a energized the relief valve (31.1) is not functioning and the
fans are running with a very low speed caused by the flow resistance only.
With solenoid Y6b energized the relief valve (124) is controlling the relief
valve (31.1) and the fans are running with 1000 RPM only.

Function:
Pressure in line A affects the main piston (7). At the same time there is pressure
via the jet bore (6) on the spring-loaded side of the main piston and via jet bore (5)
at the pilot poppet (9) of the relief valve cartridge (1).
If system pressure in line A exceeds the value set at the spring (2), pilot poppet (9)
opens. The signal for this comes from line A via the jet bores (6) and (5).
The oil on the spring-loaded side of the main piston (7) now flows via the jet bore
(5) and poppet (9) into the spring chamber (3).
From here it is fed internally by means of the control line (Y) to tank (port B).
Due to the state of equilibrium at the main piston (7), oil flows from line A to line
B, while the set operating pressure is maintained.
The pressure relief valve can be unloaded (Remote controlled) by means of the
port "X" and the function of the solenoid valve (126).( Function see next page)

Function:
With de-energized solenoids (Y6a and Y6b), the spool (3) keeps the "X"
connection of valve (31.1) and port B to port P closed. The pressure relief
valve (31.1) operates normal.
The energized solenoid Y6b, operate the spool (3) and a connection is made
between port P and port B and port "X" of valve (31.1)
The system pressure now opens the main piston (7) of valve (31.1), because via
solenoid Y6b (P to B) the oil from the rear side of piston (7) flows from the
"X"-port to the P connection of valve (124). The normal valve function is
now remote controlled by the pressure adjusted at valve (124).
The energized solenoid Y6a, operate the spool (3) and a connection is made
between port P and port A and port "X" of relief valve (31.1).
The system pressure now opens the main piston (7) of valve (31.1) because via
the "X"-port the oil from the rear side of piston (7) flows to tank. The normal
relief valve function is eliminated.

Description.
Pump type A7F0 is a variable displacement pump, designed to operate in open
circuits. It has an internal case drain return. The rotary group is a robust self
aspirating unit. External forces may be applied to the drive shaft.
Changing the swivel angle of the rotary group is achieved by sliding the
control lens along a cylindrical formed track by means of an adjusting screw.
With an increase in the swivel angel, the pump output increase together
with necessary drive torque.
With an decrease in the swivel angel, the pump output decreases together
with the necessary drive torque.

When increasing to maximum swivel angle, there is a danger of


cavitation and over-speeding the hydraulic motor!

Basic adjustment has to be carried out whenever one of the following


components has been replaced:
- pump
- relief valve
- hydraulic motor
Reduce the output flow of pump (5.1), by adjusting the minimum possible
swivel angle, to avoid over speeding the fan:
To do this, loosen both lock nuts (6.1 + 7.1) and turn out bolt (6)
and turn in bolt (7) the same length.
This is necessary to avoid a loose positioning pin (10), resulting in
oscillating of the cylinder barrel.
Tighten the lock nuts.
Remove protection cap (a) from relief valve (31.1), loosen lock nut (b) and
turn set screw (c) fully clockwise and then a half turn counter clockwise.
Isolate the function of solenoid valve (Y6a/b), by disconnecting both plug
connectors, to ensure that the full flow of pump 5.1 will be delivered to the
fan motor.
Connect a pressure gauge to check point (M6).
Start the motor.

Required fan speed: 1250 min-1

Be careful not to get caught in the fan or other rotating parts


7. Increase the output flow of pump (5.1), by adjusting the swivel angle,
until the fan speed will be 20 min-1 higher than required:
To do this, loosen both lock nuts (6.1 + 7.1) and turn in bolt (6)
and turn out bolt (7) the same length.
This is necessary to avoid a loose positioning pin (10), resulting in
oscillating of the cylinder barrel.
Tighten the lock nuts (6.1 + 7.1).

Do not exceed the maximum permissible operating pressure of 230bar.

Note down the lengths L1 and L2 as reference measurements.

8. Loosen lock nut (b) of the relief valve (31.1), and decrease the pressure
with set screw (c) until the correct fan speed is obtained.
9. Tighten lock nut (b) and fix protection cap (a).

Both fans have to be checked. A difference of approx. 50 rpm is


normal due to the higher resistance for the air stream for the lower
fan. If the speed difference between both fans is higher than 50 rpm, a
possible cause could be a worn hydraulic motor or defective bearings.

General
The controlling includes the pilot pressure system and the pump regulation
system.
The pump (8.1) forces the oil through the filter (33) to all involved valves.
The pressure accumulator ensures that under any circumstances enough pilot
pressure oil is available. The accumulator (85) is also functioning as a
hydraulic battery for a certain time when the motor was shut down or to
pressure relieve the system for repair works.
When the operator is using his controls an electrical signal causes energizing
of the selected solenoid valve of the remote control valves(14).
By the function of the remote control valves pilot pressure oil is send to the
relevant control block spools which in turn allows operating hydraulic oil to
the users.

Pilot Pressure Supply and Adjustments


Pilot Pressure Circuit
The pilot pressure oil is used for the following functions.
To move the control block spools, to supply the main pump regulation
system, to lubricate the main pump bearings, to release the travel- and swing
gear house brakes (spring loaded multi disk brakes), to drive the grease
pumps and to supply the hydraulic track tensioning system.

Function: Study together with the hydraulic circuit diagram


The pump (8.1) delivers the oil through filter (33) to port A of the pressure
relief valve (252.2) to limit the pump support pressure X4 (60bar).
The pressure reducing valve (252.1) maintains the adjusted pressure of 45 bar
(X2) for the pilot pressure system, the pump regulation system and the
supply for some auxiliary systems.
The pressure accumulator (85) holds an amount of oil under pressure to
provide sufficient pilot pressure during normal operation and to ensure a
limited number of lowering operations with the main drive motor at standstill.

Leak / return oil line from the remote control blocks

Function:
The pilot pressure oil flows via line (PX2) to port (P) of each remote control
block and is present via a gallery at all proportional and directional solenoid
valves.
These solenoid valves are energized by the function of the Electro
proportional controls (Joy sticks or pedals) and direct the pilot pressure oil to
the respective spools of the main control blocks with a variable pilot pressure
proportional to the deflection of the controls.

For the location and designation of the proportional and directional


solenoid valves of the remote control blocks refer to page 8 in this
section.

Since the X2 and the X4 pressure are influencing each other it is


always necessary to adjust both valves 252.1 + 252.2 alternately.
60 bar pressure X4, valve 252.2:
1.
Connect pressure gauge to check point (M1.1)
2.
Start the motor.
3.
Read pressure, required = 60-2 bar
If readjustment is required proceed as follow:
a) Loosen lock nut (1).
b) Set pressure with set screw (2).
c) Tighten lock nut (1).
45 bar pressure X2, valve 252.1:
1.
Connect pressure gauge to check point (M1.2)
2.
Start the motor.
3.
Read pressure, required = 45+3 bar
If readjustment is required proceed as follow:
a) Loosen lock nut (3).
b) Set pressure with set screw (4).
c) Tighten lock nut (3).
Checking of Accumulator Function
1.
Connect pressure gauge to check point (M2).
2.
Start the motor.
3.
After build-up of pressure stop the drive motor, but do not turn the
key switch to zero position.
4.
Watch pressure gauge. Pressure should remain constant for at
least 5 minutes.

If the pressure droops the system must be checked for leakages.


To check the accumulator charging pressure refer to PARTS &
SERVICE NEWS AH01531a latest edition.

Control lever (Potentiometer control)
Function:
The electric-hydraulic control system is used to control the direction and
volume of oil flow to the operating cylinders and motors via the control valve
blocks.
Hydraulically:
The oil volume of pump (1) flows through filter (2) into the pilot pressure
system. The pressure is limited by the pressure relief valve (3).
With the pressurized oil stored in accumulator (5), a limited number of spool
movements can be carried out with the main drive motor at standstill.
When a lever (or pedal) is actuated, proportional solenoid valve (8) and one
of the directional solenoid valves (either 6 or 7) are energized, and allows the
pilot pressure oil to flow to the spools of the control blocks.
Electrical
Whenever a lever or a pedal is moved out of its neutral position, an amplifier
will created a current between 0 and 1000 mA. (For detailed information refer
to page 10 in this section)
Depending on the lever direction, simultaneously one of the directional
solenoid valves (either 6 or 7) is energized.
The proportional solenoid valve alters the pilot pressure, proportional to the
lever deflection, this results a spool movement between neutral and full
stroke position.

General Function
Control lever (1) is supplied with 24 VDC battery voltage for the switch contacts
and with 24 VDC capacitor supported to create the signal voltage.
When moving lever (1) out of its neutral position, 24 VDC battery voltage arrives
at relay (5) and energizes the Proportional Amplifier (4) with capacitor
supported 24 VDC via terminal 1.
Depending on the function of the control lever, 1 to 4 Amplifiers can be involved
for the Y-axis (forward/ backwards direction) and 1 to 4 Amplifiers for the Xaxis (left/right direction.)
The polarity of the Output Signal from joystick (1), either positive or negative,
between 0 and 10 VDC indicates the direction of the lever movement and is
proportional to the lever deflection. This is the Input Signal to the ramp time
module (3) at terminal 5 which will arrive after the adjusted ramp time delay via
terminal 7 to the proportional amplifier (4) at terminal 5.
This Input Signal (between 0 and 10 VDC) is amplified to an Output Signal
between 0 to 1000 mA and is simultaneously send via terminal 7 (negative) or
terminal 8 (positive) to the Proportional Solenoid valve (6) and to the
Directional solenoid valve (7) via terminal 3 (negative) or terminal 9 (positive)
to the a or b-side.
The proportional Solenoid valve (6) alters the pilot pressure (X2) of 45 bar to a
value proportional to the Current Signal.
This pressure controls the movement of the control block spool (8) between
neutral and full stroke position.

* Alternative application
The non-contacting lever control (inductive linear transmitter) contains both
the electronic and mechanical components which converts the lever
movement into a proportional electrical voltage. The lever can be operate in
two axes:
Axis "Y", splitted into the half axis Y- and Y + (backward and forward)
Axis "X", splitted into the half axis X- and X + (left and right)
Of course the lever can be moved in any other direction (Joy stick function)
In order to be able to monitor the direction of the lever movement and the
neutral position, the electronics (8) sends a 24V signal as soon as the lever
gets moved out of its neutral position.
For one axis are used two inductive linear transmitter (3). The motion of the
coil core (9) connected to the push pin (6) causes a variation of the induction
in the coils (10). The electronics convert this inductive signal into a
proportional output signal of 10...0...+10 V for the amplifiers.
The electronic part of the lever is equipped with a internal fault detector. In
case of a internal electronic fault the electronic send a 24V signal to the test
output. The test input is used for a lever system check before motor start. The
inductive system is designed as a redundant system with two separate coils.

(C)
Travelling
The Potentiometer Control (inductive, linear travel transmitter) contains both
the electronic and mechanical components which converts the pedal movement
into a proportional electrical voltage.
In order to be able to electrically monitor the pedal (2) action a neutral position
switch is fitted.
This switch closes when the pedal is moved out of the rest position.
When using the double unit (B) (combined operation) only the signal output from
one unit is used for the Clam Operation.
Due to the cross lined connection via the connection cable (4) the signal is once
positive and once negative (inverted), depending on the Pedal used.
In order to be able to monitor the direction of the pedal movement and the neutral
position of travel unit (C), two switches (5 and 6) are fitted; which are actuated by
the actuator (4) as soon as the lever gets moved out of its neutral position.
For the Output Signal generation are used two coils (3.1), in series connected. The
push pin motion causes a variation of the induction and this in turn causes a signal
variation at the AC voltage bridge. The AC voltage gets rectified and becomes the
DC-Signal Voltage for the amplifiers.

The amplifier module contains the necessary electronics for the control of
two proportional solenoids. Depending on the input polarity, either solenoid
A or solenoid B is operated.
The solenoid current (solenoid A - solenoid B) is measured and compared
with the external input value. Differences between feed-back and input
values, for example caused by changes in solenoid temperature or supply
voltage, are compensated.
The module also generates a direction-dependent voltage signal (solenoid A solenoid B) as soon as the solenoid current reaches the lowest set value.
The lowest and highest values are set externally via the potentiometer R1 + R2.
The brightness of the LED's changes with the current.
This function should not be used for setting.

AS: Switched output AS active
- J2 for the highest current value
BX: Proportional output BX active (Pt) Set Potentiometer for the Ramp
BS: Switched output BS active
Time
Power: Internal supply voltage
Fault: Fault indication
The amplifier module contains the necessary electronics for the control of
two proportional solenoids and two directional solenoids. The amplifier
outputs for proportional solenoids Ax and Bx and the switched outputs As
and Bs are activated by connecting a minimum of approx. 10% signal voltage
at the amplifier input.
A positive signal voltage controls outputs A, a negative signal voltage
controls output B.
A signal voltage of approx. 10% with respect to +/- 10 V input voltage at the
amplifier, produces a stepped output voltage. The height of this 10% jump
may be set separately for proportional outputs Ax and Bx via external
potentiometer. As the signal voltage rises the solenoid current for the
proportional outputs increases linearly.
A further step in output current occurs at approx. 90% signal voltage.
The maximum current or the 90% jump may be set separately for outputs Ax
and Bx via external potentiometers and hence the gradient of the output curve
may be influenced.
LED`s indicate the current output to each proportional and switched output,
whereby the brightness is approx. proportional to the solenoid current in Ax
and Bx. This function should not be used for setting.
A Ramp Time function is included in the amplifier which may be externally
changed by a set potentiometer. The setting range for the ramp time is
approx. from 80ms to 1s. The time setting applies to both up and down ramps
and to both proportional solenoids.
A fault is indicated by the LED Fault.

General
The Ramp Time Module is snapped onto mounting rails inside the X2-box.
The electrical connection is done via screw terminals.
The module is operated with 24 VDC. A power supply provides the internally
required positive and negative supply voltages.
As soon as the power supply is in operation the green LED (power) lights up.
Internal command values
The internal command value signal is generated from the external command
value signal which is being applied to the differential input, a called-up signal
and an offset signal (zero point potentiometer "Z").
The external command value signal can, via potentiometer "G", changed from
0% to approx. 110%.
Command value call-ups
The call-up signals w1 to w4 also have an adjustment range of 0% to 110%.
No settings required. (factory set to 100%).
Ramp time call up
If the quadrant recognition is not activated, then each command value call-up
"w1" to "w4" is allocated its own ramp time "t1" to "t4".
As long as there is a signal change, the LED allocated to the actual ramp time
is alight.

Introduction:
The illustration shows simplified the route of the signal voltage from
Potentiometer Control (1) to Solenoid-Valve (5):
A.
With ramp time module,
i.e. Boom,- Stick,- Bucket (BHA),- Travel,- and Swing Function.
B.
Without ramp time module,
i.e. Bucket (FSA),- Clam,- and Swing Brake Function.
The ramp time modules (3) and the amplifiers (4) are adjustable.
Adjustments are required:
Ramp time modules
When commissioning the machine
When replacing a module

Amplifiers
When replacing a solenoid valve
When replacing an amplifier

For Checking and Setting the Signal Current at the Proportional-Amplifier (4),
both separating terminal (2) before and behind the Amplifier (4) must be opened.
For the setting procedure the signal voltage from the potentiometer control (1) can
be simulated with the potentiometer of Service-Module (6),which is installed on
the X2-panel.
Accessories required for the adjustments:
a) A multimeter, good readable for
values between 0 and 1000 mA.
b) More convenient is a second meter
for reading voltage simultaneously.
c) A simple wire, 1m length, or better
a prepared test lead same length
d) Four test leads, 1m length, with
banana type connectors on each
end.

5.11 Adjusting the Amplifiers Type B, illustration (Z 21642)


Procedure applicable for all amplifiers except the one for the swing
brake:
(Do not start the motor, turn only the key switch in ON position.)
1.
Open* the respective separating terminal (T1) between the lever unit and
the amplifier module to be set.
2.
Open* the respective separating terminal (T2) between the amplifier module
to be set and the proportional solenoid valve.
3.
Disconnect the wire from terminal five.
4.
Connect the positive output of the service module with terminal five of the
amplifier module, using test lead (2).
5.
Attach a multimeter for voltage reading to the service module, using test
lead (3).
6.
Attach a multimeter (in series) for Amp reading to the terminal between
amplifier module and solenoid valve, using test leads (3).
7.
Move the lever of the Potentiometer Control into its final position; or
override manual the relay which allows 24 V operating voltage to the
amplifier module; thus the amplifier gets 24 V operating voltage. The
power LED and simultaneously LED A(+) or B(-) lights up, depending on
the polarity.
8.
Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module until the multimeter
shows 1 VDC (it may be either positive or negative); the multimeter for the
current reading will show a value which should correspond to the value
giving in the circuit diagram e.g. 330 mA. (The first step (10 %) value)
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R1).
9.
Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module further until the
multimeter shows 9 VDC; the multimeter for the current reading will show
a value which should correspond to the value giving in the circuit diagram
e.g. 660 mA. (The second step (90 %) value).
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R2).
10. Repeat settings of item 8 and 9 until both mA values are stabilized, because
R1 and R2 influence each other.

* How to open and close the terminal:


Push the yellow stud (1) down with a screw driver and turn it 90 to the left to
open or to the right to close the terminal. A spring pushes then the stud
outwards and the contacts are either open or closed.

The amplifiers for the crawler foot pedals are adjustable in the same way as
the amplifiers for the joy sticks.(refer to page 17 and 18 in this section)
The amplifier for the swing foot brake is similar.
Procedure for the swing foot brake:
1.
Open* the respective separating terminal (T1) between the pedal unit and
the amplifier module to be set.
2.
Open* the respective separating terminal (T2) between the amplifier module
to be set and the proportional solenoid valve.
3.
Disconnect the wire from terminal five.
4.
Connect the positive output of the service module with terminal five of the
amplifier module, using test lead (2).
5.
Attach a multimeter for voltage reading to the service module, using test
lead (3).
6.
Attach a multimeter (in series) for Amp reading to the terminal between
amplifier module and solenoid valve, using test lead (3).
7.
Press the pedal fully down ; or manual override the relay which allows 24 V
operating voltage to the amplifier module; thus the amplifier gets 24 V
operating voltage.
8.
Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module until the multimeter
shows 1 VDC ; the multimeter for the current reading will show a value
which should correspond to the value giving in the circuit diagram e.g. 10
mA. (10 % value)
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R1).

* How to open and close the terminal:

VDC measured at terminal 7. Disconnect the test lead after the setting is done.
Connect +10VDC with a test lead from the red positive terminal of the service
module (6) to terminal 5 of the Ramp Time Module (3) and adjust with "Pot G" a
value of 10 VDC measured at terminal 7. Check the negative voltage as well(- 10
VDC). Disconnect the test lead after the setting is done.

Repeat settings of item 1 and 2 until both values are stabilized, because
"Pot Z" and "Pot G" influence each other.
The factory setting of potentiometer "w1" to "w4" for the command
value call-ups must not be adjusted.

The additionally installed single control blocks (Y132, Y133,Y134 and Y135)
connect the piston side of the cylinders with the rod side and also with the tank:
Y132, Y133 and Y134 for the Stick cylinders
Y135 for the Boom cylinders
In normal operation mode (i.e. float position) the pilot pressure oil is directed via
de-energized solenoid valves to the single control blocks when lowering the
boom or stick.
If a pressurized lowering of the cylinders is required the pilot pressure oil is
directed via energized solenoid valves to the main control blocks.
The solenoid valves (4/2-directional control valves) are controlled by push
buttons located in the control levers (joysticks).

the valve poppet (9) will be partially opened to achieve the required throttling
of the oil flow.
The extra holes (fixed throttle 9.2) prevents the valve from becoming
completely closed.
For the lifting operation (flow A to B), the valve poppet (9), which is guided
by the spindle (1), is pressed against spring (7) so that the valve will be
completely open.

Function:
The electric-hydraulic control system is used to control the direction and
volume of oil flow to the operating cylinders and motors via the main control
valve blocks.
When a lever (or pedal) is actuated, a proportional solenoid valve (11) and
one of the directional solenoid valves (10 either a or b) are energized, and
allows the pilot pressure oil to flow to the spools of the main control blocks.
The proportional solenoid valve alters the pilot pressure, proportional to the
lever deflection, this results a spool movement between neutral and full
stroke position.

Function:
In un-operated condition the control spool (3) is held in the neutral or
starting position by the reset springs (4). Operation of the control spool is by
means of oil immersed solenoids (2).
The force of the solenoid (2) acts via the plunger (5) on the control spool (3)
and pushes its from its resting position into the required end position. This
results in the required free flow from P to A and B to T or from P to B and
A to T.
When the solenoid (2) is de-energised, the control spool (3) is returned to its
original position by the reset springs (4).

Pressure measuring spool


Connection plug
Return spring
Bleed screw

Function:
In unoperated condition the control spool (2) is held in the neutral or starting
position by reset springs.
The control spool (2) is directly operated by the proportional solenoid (1).
If the solenoid is energized, it produces a force to operate the control spool (2) via
the pressure measuring spool (4) and moves the spool to the left. Oil flows from P
to A. As pressure in A increases, it passes via the radial borings in the control
spool (2) to the inner end of the pressure measuring spool (2).
The force generated by the pressure now works against the solenoid force and
pushes the control spool (2) to the right (closing direction) until a balance is
achieved between the two forces. In order to achieve this, the pressure measuring
spool (2) moves to the left until it is supported by the pin (5).
When the force balance is achieved, the connection between P and A is
interrupted and the pressure in line A is held constant.
Any reduction in the solenoid force leads to the pressure force exceeding the
solenoid force on the control spool (2). The control spool is then moved to the
right causing a connection from A to T allowing the pressure to fall until a
balance is re-established at a lower level.
At rest, when the solenoid is de-energized, ports A and B are open to tank, whilst
port P is blocked from both ports A and B.

In order to achieve optimum functioning of the valve, it must be bleed


when commissioning:
- Supply pressure to the valve
- Remove plug 8
- When no more air bubbles appear screw in plug 8.

behind the pumps, are effectively protected from damage and undue wear.
Each filter is equipped with a differential pressure switch to monitor the filter
flow restriction. If the pressure reaches an unsafe difference of 8.5 bar, a
visual/acoustic warning appears on the display in the cab and the engines will
be shifted automatically to low idle.

Main relief valve (MRV)Control block housing


Load check valve
Anti cavitation valve (ACV)
Service line relief valve (SRV)

Explanation of the schematic drawing of the control block:


The hydraulic oil flows through the control block from port P to T, if all
spools are in neutral position ("pressure-less circuit" or Free circulation).
(A)

E.g. the spools moves down when pilot pressure is build up in the
control pipe line a1. (Imagine the upper symbol box moves to the
center position.)
Now pump oil flows through check valve (2) to the user port A1
because the free flow circulation to the hydraulic reservoir is closed.
The main relief valve (1) limits the maximum operation pressure in
this circuit. Via port B1 the return oil from the user is flowing back
to the hydraulic reservoir.
During down hill travelling motion and stopping procedure (e.g.
travel motors) the anti cavitation valves (3) prevents cavitation on
the hydraulic motors. Because during these short periods of time the
hydraulic motor needs a higher oil supply than the pump can deliver.

(B)

E.g. the spool #3 moves up when pilot pressure is build up in the


control pipe b3. Now the user port B3 is supplied with pump
pressure. Via port A3 the return oil from the user is flowing back to
the hydraulic reservoir. Service line relief valve (4) is additional
installed in this circuit to protect the circuit for extreme pressure.
The shortly extreme pressure closes also the check valve (2) which
secures the hydraulic pump from extreme pressure peaks.
The check valves (2) have also the function of load holding valves
because during the fine controlling period all lines are connected
together (negative over-lapping). The load pressure is for a moment
higher than the pump pressure.

Spool

Function:
Reset springs (1) moves the spool (3) in neutral position.
Fine control grooves (2) provide for sensitive controlling, because a motion is
started always while the pressure oil and the return oil first passes this fine
control grooves before spool (3) is inter connecting the entire groove to the
user channel.
In neutral position of spool (3) the pump oil is flowing back via port PU to the
tank.
Lower picture:
Example. The spool is moved to left position: Port PU is closed and the
connection through the check valve RP1 to the user (port A) is open. Also the
connection from the other user side (port B return)is connected to the port T
(return line to tank).
Return line of the pressure relief valve MRV is also connected to the port T.

MRVs and SRVs are pilot operated relief valves. The MRV limits the max.
Pump supply line pressure. The SRV limits the max. possible pressure peak in
the service-line.
The valves have an opening characteristic. That means, that in case of
contamination after the response procedure no further pressure increasing is
possible and damages are avoided.
Function:
The circuit pressure P forces with the force F1 on the piston surface A of the
main valve cone (15). Because there is via the jet bore (16) the same pressure on
the back side of the main cone, this results together with the spring (14) force in
a force F2 that keeps the main cone closed. Via the jet bore (13) the circuit
pressure is in front of the poppet (12). Exceeds the circuit pressure the setting
value of the spring (11), the poppet opens against the force of the spring (11).
This causes that the force F2 decreases and there is no more balance condition
between F1 and F2. Valve cone (15) is moved upwards by the greater force F1.
That means there is now a direct connection from port P to T (tank).
ACVs serve for compensation possible lack of feed when the SRV at the
opposite port is actuated (see circuit diagram) and for avoiding cavitation
damages. In addition, to supply a user in case it is continuously moved by
acceleration forces at zero position of the control spool.
Function:
The circuit pressure inside the spring chamber closes the valve cone (7).
The back pressure of the return line acts on the surface of the valve cone (7).
Whenever the pressure in the service-line is lower than the springs force the
valve cone opens by the force of the back pressure and hydraulic oil is additional
supplied.

Control Blocks II and IV (4 spool blocks)


The load holding valves are fitted into separate spaces of the control block
housing, one valve for each spool.
They have three tasks:
1.
When circuit pressure due to attachment weight is higher than pump
pressure these valves prevent dropping of the attachment, within their
sensitive (fine controlling) range.
2.
Due suddenly pressure peaks in the service lines the valves also protect
the pump.
3.
When two pumps flows are used for one user they ensure that at least
the flow of one pump reaches the user in case one MRV is defect or not
more correct adjusted.
That means: Up to the max. Pressure of the defective valve both load holding
valves are open allowing the flow of both pumps to the user, then one valve will
be closed by the higher pressure and the flow of one pump only flows to the
user.
Function:
The system pressure forces onto the front area of the valve cone (1). This force
moves the valve cone against the spring (2) and allows the oil to flow from the
pump to the spool.
In neutral position of the spool no further flow is possible. (see circuit diagram)
If the spool is not more in neutral the flow continues to the user.
If due to an external force the pressure directed to the pump overcomes the
pump line pressure, this pressure forces the valve onto its seat (closed position)

The load holding valves are directly fitted into the spools (one on each side).
They have three tasks:
1.
When circuit pressure due to attachment weight is higher than pump
pressure these valves prevent dropping of the attachment, within their
sensitive (fine controlling) range.
2.
Due suddenly pressure peaks in the service lines the valves also protect
the pump.
3.
When two pumps flows are used for one user they ensure that at least
the flow of one pump reaches the user in case one MRV is defect or not
more correct adjusted.
That means: Up to the max. Pressure of the defective valve both load holding
valves are open allowing the flow of both pumps to the user, then one valve will
be closed by the higher pressure and the flow of one pump only flows to the
user.
Function:
In neutral position (upper picture) of the spool (1) both valve cones (2) are
closed by the springs (3).
In a switched position (lower picture) forces the circuit pressure onto the
front area of the valve piston (2).
This force moves the piston against spring (3) and allows the oil to flow from
the pump supply (4) to the user port (A) and from port B via boring (5) to the
return oil passage.
If due to an external force the pressure directed to the pump overcomes the
pressure in the pump line; this pressure (force) closes the valve
(direction P to A).

6.1.13 Travel Brake Valve


Illustration Z 21695
Task:
Travel brake valves control the oil flow from the hydraulic motor to the tank
depending on operating pressure. This braking action prevents the motors from
overspeeding.
Function:
Spring force keeps the spool in the lowest flow position. with increasing
operating pressure the opening for the return oil flow becomes larger.
On its way to the hydraulic motor the oil flows from A to A1 respectively from
B to B1 depending on the selected travel motion.
Example:
Operating pressure at port A moves spool (1) against the force of the spring (2)
and opens the way for the return oil (B1 to B).
Check valve (3) prevents a direct oil flow from B1 to B.
If the operating pressure decreases to such an extend that the spring force
overcomes the pressure, the flow to the tank becomes restricted, resulting in
braking of the machine.

design, e.g. with a pressure relief function on the reduced pressure side.
At rest, the valve is normally open, and fluid can flow unhindered from port P
to A. Pressure in port A is also present on the end of the spool (2), via control
line (6), opposing the compression spring (3). When the pressure in port A
reaches the pressure level set at spring (3), spool (2) moves to the control
position and holds the pressure in port A constant.
Fluid to control the valve is taken from port A via the boring (6).
If the pressure in port A rises still further due to external forces, the spool (2)
is moved still further towards the compression spring (3).
This causes a flow path to be opened over control land (8) in the control spool (2)
to tank. Sufficient fluid then flows to tank to prevent any further rise in pressure.
An optional non return valve (5) is available to allow free flow from A to P.

Plunger
Dust cap with stem for manual operation

Function:
When there is no flow through the valve, control spool (3) is held in neutral
or output position by means of the return springs (4). The control spool (3) is
operated by means of oil immersed solenoid (2).
The force of the solenoid (2) effects control spool (3) by means of the plunger
(5) and pushes it from its resting position to the required end position.
This results in free flow from or P to B and A to T.
When solenoid (2) is de-energized, control spool (3) is moved back to its
resting position by means of return springs (4).
An optional hand emergency (6) allows movement of the control spool (3)
without energizing the solenoid.

6.1.16 Pressure Increasing Valve

The pressure increasing valve is a remote controlled pressure relief


valve, actuated by hydraulic pressure. The individual pressure is in
such a way determined by the pilot pressure.

Main valve with sleeve
Main piston
Closing spring
Set screws
Piston
Pin
Jet bore
Lock nut

Function:
The valve poppet (2) is connected via the jet bores (11) and (12) with the P
port.
If static pressure increase above the set pressure value, the valve poppet (2)
opens and allows oil to flow freely to tank (T1). This oil generates a pressure
drop in the spring chamber of the main spool, the closing force of the spring
(6) is cancelled, and the main piston (5) opens to allow the pump flow to flow
to tank (T2).
Damped opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change.
By applying external pressure of Pst max = 45 bar to the main spool (9) via
port X, the pre-tensioning of the pressure spring (3) is increased by the amount
of the piston stroke "S" and system pressure is increased correspondingly.
The possible pressure increase p is 440 bar max. or 440 bar minus the basic
setting.
The setting is fixed by means of the setting screw (7) and lock nut (13); 1 turn
of the screw = 150 bar.

Main hydraulic pumps and pump regulation system


Pump regulation system general, illustration (Z 21547b)
General
Controlled output flow of the main pumps is necessary:
To utilize the available motor power most efficiently in every operating
mode.
To limit the power consumption of the hydraulic pumps depending on the
load of the motor. (Electronic pump regulation with micro-controller MC7)
For additional functions, such as rotating dependent or temperaturedependent flow reduction.
Function:
X1 pump regulation pressure (0 34 bar):
The power controller of the main pumps can be remotely controlled by
applying an external pilot pressure (X1 ) at port X LR to the spring chamber of
the power control valve. The start of destroking can be varied in proportion to
the applied X1 - pressure.
X2 pilot pressure (45 bar):
Constant pilot pressure to regulate the main pumps at special circumstances,
e.g. to fix the pumps in Q-max position while servicing the machine.
X3 remote control pressure (0 / 15 / 45bar):
Basic setting Q-min (0 bar), the flow rate increases with the
pilot pressure X3 at port Pst, up to Q-max (45 bar).
The hyperbolic power control is superimposed on the pilot pressure
signal and keeps the specified drive power constant. (p x Vg = constant).
The flow rates are:
Q-min.:
X3 = 0 bar
Q-max.: X3 = 15 bar
Q-max.:
X3 = 45 bar
X4 pump support pressure (60 bar):
Constant pilot pressure to support the regulation function at low operating
pressure and to lubricate the main pump bearings.

A: Motor at standstill
B: Motor running and the controls are not used for 20 sec. or longer

C: Motor running and service switch S155 activated (Qmin-position)
Example C with the following conditions:
Motor running
Pump pressure smaller than X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure)
X1 = 34 bar (pump regulation pressure), this pressure will not influence
the Q-min position under these conditions.
X3 = 0 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 de-energized (S155 Qmin activated)
for pumps #2, #3 and #4.
For pump #1, Y17 and Y126 de-energized.
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure)
Pump support pressure is present at valve #7, the slipper pad of
piston #14 and the small area side of the positioning piston #13
Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve #7 moves to position "b" because the X4-pressure will overcome the
spring force, since the oil behind nozzle (8) flows through valve #6 (which is
in position "a", due to the missing remote control pressure X3) back to tank.
Pump support pressure X4 passes valve #7 position "b" and flows via power
control valve #9 position "a" to the large area side of positioning piston #13
Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three
times larger as the small area side, the pump support pressure X4 of 60 bar
present on both sides, resulting in stronger force at the large area side, keeps
the pump in Q-min position.
The pump remains in Q-min position

For pump #1, Y17 energized and Y126 de-energized
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.
Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve #7 moves to position "a" because the spring force is supported by the
X4-pressure, since the oil flow back to tank is blocked at valve #6 (which is
in position "b", due to the 45 bar remote control pressure X3).
The large area side of positioning piston #13 is connected, via power control
valve (9) position "a" and pressure balance valve (7) position "a", to the
return oil line.
The pump moves into Q-max position, because the pump pressure acts only
at the small area side of positioning piston #13.

for pumps #2, #3 and #4.
For pump #1, Y17 energized and Y126 de-energized
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.
Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve #7 moves to an intermediate position (in-between "a" and "b"), since a
certain amount of oil behind nozzle (8) flows through valve #6 (which is also
in an intermediate position, due to the 15 bar remote control pressure X3)
back to tank.
The large area side of positioning piston #13 is connected, via power control
valve (9) position "a" and pressure balance valve (7), to the return oil line.
The pump moves into Q-max position, because the return oil flow through

or
With pump pressure above 180 bar (Hydraulic constant regulation)
(Constant X1-pressure of approximately 13 bar)
Example with the following conditions:
Motor running
Pump pressure 180 bar adjustable at main relief valves, present at the
slipper pad of piston #14 and the small area side of the positioning piston
#13
X1 = 13 bar (constant regulation pressure adjustable at pressure reducing
valves 253.2) Change over valve (253.1) switched to hydraulic mode.
X3 = 45 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 energized and Y17a energized
for pumps #2, #3 and #4.
For pump #1, Y17 energized and Y126 de-energized
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.
Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve #7 moves to position "a" because the spring force is supported by the
X4-pressure, since the oil flow back to tank is blocked at valve #6 (which is
in position "b", due to the 45 bar remote control pressure X3).
The operating pressure (with the value for start of de-stroking) at the slipper
pad of piston #14 moves the power control valve (9) into position "b" (against
the spring force supported by the X1-pressure).
This in turn connects the operating pressure to the large area side of
positioning piston #13.
Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three
times larger as the small area side, the operating pressure present on both sides,
resulting in stronger force at the large area side, moving the pump in Q-min
direction.
The pump de-strokes until the forces at positioning piston #13 are
balanced

Response of pump control mechanism:
Independent of the position of power control valve #9 the pressure cut-off
valve #11 causes the pump to de-stroke to the pre-adjusted Q-min position.
The operating pressure moves the pressure cut-off valve #11 (at set pressure)
into position "b" and flows to the large area side of positioning piston #13.
Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three
times larger as the small area side, the operating pressure present on both

7.2.1 Electronic load limiting control - general, illustration (Z 22407b)


The drive train of the excavator consists of an electric motor, several hydraulic
pumps, which supply cylinders and hydraulic motors.
The load limiting control ensures optimum use of the power required for the excavator
under varying operating conditions and avoiding overload of the motors.
Illustration Z22407b shows the principle of the electronic load limiting control.
The MC7 (E32) processes the following input signals:
Voltage (Pin 47) from electronic signal rectifier (A32)
Current motor 1 (Pin 45) from electronic signal rectifier (A33)
The MC7 (E32) processes the following output signals:
Signal value to control the proportional solenoid valve Y61-1 (Pin 28) Motor 1
Switch signals (Pin 32 and 33), diagnostic of the MC7 (E32)
The electric motor drives four variable displacement pumps by means of a PTOgearbox. Each pump is equipped with a hydraulic power controller (HPC).
This controller limits the input torque of the pump to an adjusted command value (X1pressure, for start of destroking).
The command value (X1-pressure) is present via proportional solenoid valves Y61-1 at
the hydraulic power controllers of each pump.

The auxiliary hydraulic pumps and other consumers can be operated


without being directly affected by the load limiting control.

Function:
The ESR-Module (A32) transforms an AC Voltage, which is proportional to the net
voltage, into a proportional DC Voltage and transfers it into the MC7 (E32).
The ESR-Module (A33) transforms an AC Voltage, which is proportional to the motor
current, into a proportional DC Voltage and transfers it also into the MC7 (E32).
These input signals are the information about the actual load to the motor and serves the
MC7 (E32)
The control algorithm of the load limiting control (MC7) always compares the actual
required power with the rated power.
With increasing load the motor torque will rise and in turn the required power.
For this reason the electronic load limiting control will be initiated when the required
power is higher than the rated power, i.e. the torque of the main pumps will be lowered
(by reducing the X1-pressure) until the rated power is attained again.

7.2.2 Electronic Power Module EPM Module , illustration (Z 22624b)


The EPM Module transforms the 24 VDC battery voltage into
positive/negative 15 VDC and positive 5 VDC which is the supply voltage for
the ESR Modules. The LEDs besides the terminals are indicating the function.

Testing the EPM-Module, A31a +A31b


Function check:
Measure the supply voltage. (24 VDC; GND = 0 V).
If the supply voltage is not there, check the supply cable and the circuit
breaker. If the circuit breaker always trips there may be a short within the
cables to the EPM Module or a short in the unit itself.
If the supply voltage is ok. the Output Voltages have to be checked. Check
pos. 15 VDC, neg. 15 VDC, 5 VDC to GND.
If the supply voltages are not ok. the short circuit monitoring system of the
EPM might be activated, therefore disconnect the cables at the terminals (+15
VDC, -15 VDC and +5 VDC) and repeat the voltage check.
If now (with disconnected cables) the voltages are as they should be there
is either a short within the cables or in the other modules itself. To determine
the fault connect the entire modules in sequence.
If the voltage is not ok., even when the cables are disconnected from the
EPM, the EPM-Module is defect.

Function:
The ESR-Module transforms an AC signal-voltage, which is proportional to the
network voltage respectively the motor current, into a proportional DC Voltage and
transfers it into the MC7.
Testing the ESR-Module, A32 + A33
Testing the ESR input/output voltage
For a transformer function test the AC-Input Voltage and the
DC-Output Voltage must be tested.

The potentiometer settings are under no circumstances


allowed to be altered, because the setting is possible only with a HFGenerator and an Oscilloscope.
If the potentiometer set-positions have been altered, a new Module,
with sealed potentiometers, must be ordered.
Procedure: Same procedure for all three Modules
1.

Disconnect the wire from terminal 23 of the ESR Module.

2.

Start the motor and let it run without an extra load on it.

3.

Measure the AC-Voltage between the terminals 21 and 41 and record it.

4.

Measure the DC-Voltage between the terminals 23 and 11 and record it.

5.

The measured DC-Voltage must be 1/4 of the AC-Voltage.


Example:

2.5 VDC
----------- = 0,25 (1 % plus/minus is ok)
10 VAC

Small variations are based on amplitude variations of the AC-Input voltage


while measuring the DC-Output voltage.
Greater variations denotes a faulty ESR Module.

The MC7 microcontroller is used for the programmable control of a maximum of four
proportional solenoids and two additional switching functions.
As input signals, the microprocessor processes analog voltages in the 0V to 5V range and
switching information. All inputs are protected against overvoltage and electrical interference.
As output signals, the output stages of the MC7 deliver closed loop controlled currents for the
connection of proportional solenoids.
The analog voltage output is suitable for the simple forwarding of analog information to other
electronic circuits.
Characteristics
Closed loop control of solenoid currents, i.e. independent of voltage and temperature.
Pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid currents for minimal hysteresis.
Internal buzzer for programmable monitoring of functions or errors.
Setting and Display Facilities
All calibration operations and the display of functions, faults and system variables are
connected via the serial interface to the BB-3 control panel or to a PC running the BODEM
software.

Method A - X1-pressure adjustment with 24V supply to separating
terminals at the X2-panel.
Pre-conditions: Normal operating temperature, correct pilot pressure setting
and the system must be free of air.
1. Make sure the change over valve (253.1) is in position Electronic Pump
Regulation
2. Connect a pressure gauge to check point (M5.1), using a long pressure gauge
hose to be able reading the pressure in front of the X2-panel.
3. Selection of adjusting mode:
Turn the main key switch in on position and activate the adjusting mode as
follows:
Connect 24V, simultaneously to terminal 54 and 55 for 10 seconds, using two
test leads and disconnect the voltage thereafter.
4. Selection of the motor and in turn the required
proportional solenoid valve :
With the main key switch still in on position, select the output terminal of
proportional solenoid valve Y61-1 is directly selected.
Since there is only one motor with one proportional solenoid valve installed,
a 24V connection is not required.
5. Adjusting the X1-pressure:
Start the motor.
Read the pressure, required = 34 0,5 bar
If necessary increase the X1-pressure as follows:
Connect 24V to terminal 54.
As long as voltage is supplied, the X1-pressure drops to zero.
After interrupting the voltage supply, the gauge pointer will move
slowly to the new present X1-pressure.
Example: Keeping voltage supply for two seconds , will increase the
X1-pressure of approximately 1bar.
The adjusted value will be saved immediately and will be available
after power off.
6. To decrease the X1-pressure connect 24V to terminal 55 and proceed as
described under item 5, keeping voltage supply for two seconds , will
decrease the X1-pressure of approximately 1bar.
7. After the adjustment is finished, remove the test leads and pressure gauge and
turn the main key switch in OFF position to deactivate the adjusting mode.

Pre-conditions: Normal operating temperature, correct pilot pressure setting and
the system must be free of air.
1. Connect pressure gauges to check points M11, M12, M13 and M14 at the high
pressure filters.
2. Connect pressure a gauge to the X1 pressure check point M5.1.
3. Unplug solenoid valves Y6a and Y6b to ensure that the hydraulic oil cooler fans
are running with maximum speed.
4. Start the motor.
5. Set the MRV individually to approx. 120 bar *, to prevent the motor from
overloading during the adjustment.
6. Shift the three way cock valves (253.1) to position Hydraulic (constant)
Regulation Mode.
7. Set the X1-pressure at pressure reducing valves (253.2) > 34 bar **, to ensure that
the pumps remain in Q-max. flow position during the adjustment.
8. Apply max. load to all pumps (e.g. extend the bucket cylinders to the stop position
until the hydraulic system stalls), and increase the pressure at all 4 MRVs *
equally until the motor draw 128 Ampere. (reading of text display)
Expected system pressure at 128 Ampere = 4 times 172 bar (peak point).
Record this pressure for other tests.

If the operating pressure is higher respectively the motor current is


lower than required there is probably not the full volume available.
*Altering the MRV-Setting:
Remove dust cap (a).
Loosen lock nut (b).
Turning the set screw (c) cw the pressure will increase.
Turning the set screw

Cont'd:
Method A - PID - Factor adjustment to obtain the most efficient pump
regulation characteristic.
Pre-conditions: Normal operating temperature, correct pilot pressure setting and
the system must be free of air.
With the PID-Factor adjustment (proportional, integral and
differential factors) it is possible to influence the regulation dynamics.
The PID-Factor adjustment range is between 80% and 120%
The voltage at the analogue output (terminal 60) represents the actual
adjusted value. (80% = 0VDC / 100% = 2,5VDC / 120%= 5VDC)
This factor is multiplied with all PID parameters.

)
1.

Jerky movements while lifting and swinging at the same time:


a) Activate the adjusting mode:
Connect 24V, simultaneously to terminal 54 and 55 for 10 seconds, using two
test leads and disconnect the voltage thereafter.
b) Select the PID-factor adjusting mode:
Connect 24V, to terminal 50 permanent, using a test lead.
c) Connect a multi-meter to terminal 60 (reading DC-voltage) and note down the
value (represents the actual adjusted value)
d) Reduce the voltage in steps of 250mV until the system works smoothly, by
connecting 24V to terminal 55. (As close as possible to the boarder line)

2.

No Jerky movements:
a) Activate the adjusting mode:
Connect 24V, simultaneously to terminal 54 and 55 for 10 seconds, using two
test leads and disconnect the voltage thereafter.
b) Select the PID-factor adjusting mode:
Connect 24V, to terminal 50 permanent, using a test lead.
c) Connect a multi-meter to terminal 60 (reading DC-voltage) and note down the
value (represents the actual adjusted value)
e) Increase the voltage in steps of 250 mV until the system jerks, by connecting
24V to terminal 54. (As close as possible to the boarder line)
f) Now reduce the voltage in steps of 250mV until the system works smoothly
again, as described under item 1d.

3.

After the adjustments are finished, remove the test leads and multi-meter, stop the
motors and turn the main key switch in OFF position to deactivate the adjusting
mode.

to port A of the pressure relief valve (252.2) for limiting the pump support
pressure X4 to 60 bar. By the function of pressure reducing valve (252.1), the
X4 pressure of 60 bar is reduced to the pilot pressure X2 of 45 bar. The
common X2 pressure will be reduced by the function of pressure reducing
valves (253.2) to the necessary constant X1 pressure, to prevent the motor from
overloading.

For testing purposes the pump regulation system can be changed to


the hydraulic operation mode. In case of a failure in the electronic
regulation system the hydraulic operation mode can also be used for
emergency operation.
The standard operation mode of the pump regulation system is the
Electronic Operation Mode.

General information
The control blocks, the piping to the distributor manifold and the connecting
hoses to the attachment are different between the Backhoe Attachment (BHA)
and the Front Shovel Attachment (FSA). If a conversion is required, contact
the service department for further information.
Function:

Study together with the circuit diagram.


The following numbering refers to the hydraulic circuit diagram.

Each main pump (1 to 4) delivers oil trough the high pressure filter (13.1 to
13.4) to port P of the main control blocks (I to IV).
This results in four main circuits.
If all spools of the control blocks (I to IV) are in neutral position, the oil
leaves the block at port T and returns via return oil pipes, return oil collector
manifold (107), return oil pipes (L6 and L7), return oil collector tube (54),
back pressure valve (55) and the return oil filters (49.1 - 49.4) into the tank.
The function of back pressure valve (55) ensures:
- sufficient oil supply for all anticavitation valves
- and that sufficient oil is forced through the oil coolers.
If a control lever or pedal is actuated, pilot pressure oil moves the spools of the
control blocks, directing the oil flow from the main pumps to one side of the
user (either cylinders or motors). From the opposite side of the user the oil
returns to the control block and from there via the return oil circuit back into
the tank.
Each circuit is provided with one MRV (also called primary valve, at least one
SRV (also called secondary valve) and at least one flow restrictor.

Cont'd:
Floating function of boom and stick cylinders FSA:
illustration (Z 22005):
The Excavator operates automatically with the float position for boom and stick
activated.
That means the lowering movement of boom and stick is always done in the float
position.
For deactivation of the float position, two push buttons are installed:
a) S95 in the right joy stick (E19) for the Boom function
b) S95a in the left joy stick (E20) for the Stick function
Press the respective button and keep it depressed as long as the float position shall
be deactivated.
When releasing the button the float position is activated again.
Function:
The additionally installed single control blocks (Y132, Y133,Y134 and Y135)
connect the piston side of the cylinders with the rod side and also with the tank:
Y132, Y133 and Y134 for the Stick cylinders
Y135 for the Boom cylinders
In normal operation mode (i.e. float position) the pilot pressure oil is directed via
Y132a, Y133a and Y135a to the single control blocks when lowering the boom
or stick.
If a pressurised lowering of the cylinders is required the pilot pressure oil is
directed via Y132a, Y133a and Y135a to the main control blocks.
The solenoid valves Y132a, Y133a and Y135a (4/2-directional control valves) are
controlled by push button S95 and S95a.
Boom: S95 ON Y135a ON

Float position deactivated


S95 OFF Y135a OFF

Float position activated


S95a ON Y132a + Y133a ON
S95a OFF Y132a + Y133a OFF

Stick:

Float position deactivated


Float position activated

Due to the two different operation modes for lowering, the lowering
speed of boom and stick cylinder must be adjusted twice:
A. Float position deactivated
B. Float position activated

Each Pump circuit can be checked or adjusted individually by selecting one


function of the required pump circuit.
Checking:
1.
Connect the gauge to the required check point M11 - M14.
2.
Start engine and let it run with max. speed.
3.
Extend or retract the cylinder to the stop position for the valve being
tested until the hydraulic system stalls.
4.
Read the pressure. Required: 310 + 5 bar
If the pressure is not correct, carry out a comparative measurement with an
other function, in order to avoid wrong measuring results caused by
wrongly adjusted SRV or other defects in the system.
Adjusting:
1.
Remove protective cap (a).
2.
Loosen lock nut (b).
3.
Turn set screw (c) -clockwise to increase pressure, Counterclock wise to decrease pressure.
4.
Tighten lock nut (b) and install cap (a).

It is important that the valve body of MRV-valve and the SRV-valve


are firmly tightened (with 300 Nm).
Otherwise, the internal sealing is not properly which results in loud
flow noises and wrong adjustments.

Boom cylinder Piston side FSA + BHA
There are six service line relief valves (secondary valves) installed, four at
the distributor manifold (42), one in main control block II and one in block
IV, to limit the maximum possible pressure peaks in the service line.
Since the opening pressure of the SRVs is higher than the setting of the Main
Relief Valves (MRVs) it is necessary to increase the main relief pressure for
testing and adjusting purposes.

Start engine and let it run with max. speed.
Extend the boom cylinder to the stop position until the hydraulic
system stalls.
Increase slowly the pump supply line pressure, by turning in set screws (3)
of both MRVs in control block II and IV, while observing the
pressure gauges. Stop as soon the pressure does not raise any further.
The gauge pointers should remain at 350 bar + 5 bar.
Since the piston side of the boom cylinders are protected by several
SRVs, the pressure gauges show the pressure of that valve with the
lowest setting.
Even when the gauges show the required pressure it is possible that
one or more valves have a higher setting.
To ensure that only the SRVs open during checks and adjustments
it is necessary to further increase the setting of both MRVs.

as follows:
Remove protective cap (1).
Loosen lock nut (2).
Turn set screw (3) -clockwise to increase pressure, Counter-clock

It is important that the valve body of MRV-valve and the SRV-valve
are firmly tightened (with 300 Nm).
Otherwise, the internal sealing is not properly which results in loud
flow noises and wrong adjustments.

Checks and adjustments of the lowering speed,


illustration (Z 22033):
General
On excavators equipped with Face Shovel Attachment (FSA) there are two
different operation modes for lowering the boom and stick:
I.

Float position activated the lowering speed has to be adjusted by


altering the stroke limiters (4) of the single control blocks (3).

II.

Float position deactivated the lowering speed has to be adjusted by


altering the flow restrictors (throttle valves) at the distributor
manifold (42).

On excavators equipped with Backhoe Attachment (BHA) the lowering


speed has to be adjusted at the flow restrictors only.

Purpose of the Flow Restrictors:


To avoid an interruption of the pump delivery.
To provide an uniform and smooth cylinder travel.
To limit the return oil flow through the control block to the maximum
permissible volume.
Checks and Adjustments:
Activate service switch S151 (located in the cab base) during the checks and
adjustments, to ensure that the main pumps are in Qmax position.

Standard test method is measuring the total cylinder running time by using a
stop watch.
If it is impossible to move the cylinder over the whole way, mark a distance of
one meter with permanent pen P/N 621 566 40 on the piston rod and measure
the time for only one meter movement.
Adjust the Restrictor as follows:
- For easy turning of set screw (2) lower the attachment to ground, stop motor
and allow pressure equalising by moving the joy sticks several times.
- Loosen the lock nut (1) and turn the bolt (2) cw for more restriction and ccw
for less restricton. If more than one restrictor is used for one movement
make sure all set screws are equally adjusted.
During commissioning, a throttle adjustment has to be carried out on all
machines. For safety reasons, the throttle valves are completely screwed in
before each machine is leaving the factory.

2. Raise the fully extended attachment with empty bucket to the maximum height
position (A).
3. Shift the engine to high idle speed.
4. Rapidly move the control lever (E19) to the front end position (start the stop
watch) and hold it until the final position (B) is reached.(stop the stop watch).

Lower the boom so, that the bucket stops just above the ground.

5. If the lowering speed is too high, i.e. the measured time is less than the
permissible time, the speed must be reduced by altering the stroke limiter of
the single control block (Y135).
Adjust as follows:
To decrease the lowering speed loosen the lock nut (1) and turn the bolt (2) cw.
To increase the lowering speed loosen the lock nut (1) and turn the bolt (2) ccw.
6. Check lowering speed again and repeat the adjustment if necessary.
7. If the adjustment is finished tighten lock nut (1).

Brief description (Service circuits)


The machine is equipped with a two speed swing system.
(Study together with the for the machine valid hydraulic and electric circuit
diagram).
The swing motors (60.1 + 60.2) are driven by the pumps (1 + 3).
The oil flows from the pumps through high pressure filters to the control
block (9/III) and (10/I).
With the spools in neutral position oil flows via the return oil line into the
collector tube (107) and further via the return oil lines (L6 + L7) into the
collector tube (54) and further to the tank.
On its way to tank the oil must flow through the back pressure valve (55) and
the return oil filter (59.1 - 59.4). (Back pressure valve function see section 4.)
When operating the control lever for "Swinging" the pump line is connected
in the control blocks (9/III and 10/I) with the corresponding service line (A1
or B1) to the swing motors (60.1 + 60.2).
The oil flows from the control block through each one of the swing brake
valves (61.1 + 61.2; description see page 8 and 9) and the swing motors (60.1
+ 60.2).
Each swing gear includes one spring loaded multi disk brake (House brake)
for locking the superstructure.
The leak oil (case drain) flows through the line (L18 + L19) and the leak oil
filter (53) back to tank.

Brief description (Control circuits)


When the lever (E19) is moved out of its neutral position, proportional solenoid
valve Y65 and solenoid valve Y131 (pump #3 fixed in Qmax position) are
energized. Simultaneously the directional solenoid valves Y24 (R.H.-swing) or
Y25 (L.H.-swing) are energized.
At the same time, by the function of proportional
solenoid valve Y127, pilot pressure is present at
port X of each brake valve block thus a
pressure built up in the service lines is possible.
i.e. Swing speed low = Only oil flow of pump #3

If swing speed switch S154 is activated, also


proportional solenoid valve Y66 and depending
on the swing direction directional solenoid valves
Y26 (R.H.-swing) or Y27 (L.H.-swing) are
energized. Simultaneously solenoid valves Y130
and Y126 (pump #1 fixed in Qmax position) are
energized, so that only a reduced of oil flow from
pump #1 will be added to increase the swing.
i.e. Swing speed fast = oil flow of pump #3 + reduced oil flow of pump #1

8.2.2 Swing Motor


Axial piston motor A2FLM (with SL-bearing)
The axial piston units of product group A2FM with fixed displacement can
operate as a hydraulic motor only.
The drive speed is proportional to the consumption capacity.
The output torque increases with the pressure drop between high and low
pressure side.
The motor converts hydrostatic energy into mechanical energy.

Description of the SL-bearing (SL = slipper bearing)


The main part of the axial forces is supported by the slipper pads (13) which
are installed on the driving circular side of the drive shaft.
Each piston is allocated to one slipper pad.
These slipper pads are located in the cylinder chamber and get pressurized via
piston borings (5). The slipper pads support themselves on the thrust washer
(14) and discharge axially the tapered roller bearing (11).
Without pressure the slipper pads are kept on the thrust washer by means of
spring (12).

8.2.2 Swing Motor, illustration (Z 21936)
Axial piston motor A2FLM (with SL-bearing)
Function:
The pressure oil inlet (A or B) and consequent oil outlet (B or A) determine
the output drive direction of the drive shaft (1).
Direction of rotation:
"Clockwise"
= Direction of flow A to B
"Counter-Clockwise" = Direction of flow B to A
with view onto drive shaft!
Via the control lens (8) the oil is directed to the cylinder bores.
The piston (5) is moved from the lower (6b) to the up- per dead point (6a) by
means of the force acting on it and causes the drive shaft to rotate. On further
rotation of the drive shaft (additional pistons are pressurized) this piston is
moved towards the lower dead point again and oil of the cylinder chamber is
forced out through the kidney formed openings of the control lens. This oil is
fed back to the tank via the return line.
If the supply and return line is changed it changes the output drive direction
of the drive shaft.
By means of the angled arrangement of the cylinder (7) (bent axis design), a
certain piston stroke is produced which results in a fixed displacement per
revolution of the drive shaft. According to the size of the applied flow this
produces a specific output speed.
The output torque at the drive shaft is dependent on the size of the motor and
the required operating pressure.

The swing gear is of compact design with a two stage planetary gear including a
multi disk house brake.
The gear is bolted to the superstructure and fits firmly due to the machined
diameter (A) and the bolt torque.
The torque loaded on the hydraulic motor is transmitted by drive shafts (2)
and sun gear shaft (3) to the first planetary stage (17).
The sun shaft (17) of the first planetary stage transmits the torque into the
second planetary stage (19). By the planetary gears the output drive shaft is
rotated and transmits the torque to the pinion (21).
The drive housing, and the gearbox are filled with gear oil.
Aeration is done by breather filters.
To lubricate the pinion bearing port (22) is connected to the central
lubrication system.

Function:
Brake applied:
The outer disks (4) engaged to the housing by serration and the inner disks (3) in
serrated connection with drive shaft (12) are pressed together by the springs (9).
This results in a fixed connection between housing and drive shaft.
Brake released:
Oil pressure via port (13) reaches the bottom of the piston (6) and forces the
piston upwards against the thrust washer (10).
This function eliminates the spring force onto the disks so that the sinus
(spacing) rings can keep the outer disks (4) apart, thus the brake is released.
The releasing pressure is 19 - 20 bar, the maximum permissible pressure
60 bar.
This is a so named "Wet Brake" because the brake housing is splash lubricated
by gear oil.

Explanation of the function by the symbol:
When ever a swing motion is carried out or the foot brake is used, pilot
pressure arrives the pressure increasing valve (1) at port "X".
The pilot pressure pre-loads these valves.
The oil for the hydraulic motor from the control block arrives the service line
port A or B, depending if a R.H. or a L.H. swing motion is carried out.
The ports A and B are internally connected to the ports A1 and B1 and these
ports in turn with the hydraulic motor.
The operating pressure, at either port A or B closes the anti-cavitation valves
(4 or 5) and opens the check valves (2 or 3).
That means by the check valves (2 or 3) the service lines are connected to the
pressure increasing valve.
When ever the pressure is higher than the setting of the pressure increasing
valve, this valves opens and dumps the oil into the return line (T) to tank.
The pressure can be checked at the check points MA or MB.

8.2.5 Swing Brake Valve, illustration (Z 21935)
If after a swing motion the joy stick is put into neutral position without
using the foot brake, the superstructure is turned by inertial force and the
hydraulic motor acts as a pump because it is driven by the swing gear.
In this period the pressure in the service line is lower than the pressure in
the return line, because there is a back pressure valve at the tank, and oil is
forced through the anti-cavitation valves into the service line.
Function of the pressure increasing valve.
When ever a swing motion is carried out or the foot brake is used, pilot
pressure arrives the pressure increasing valve (1) at port "X". The pilot
pressure pre-loads these valves.
By applying pilot pressure via the external port X to piston (12), the pretensioning of the pressure spring (10) is increased by the amount of the piston
stroke "S", which results in the actual valve setting.
The system pressure is in front of the main piston (13) and via the jet bore (6)
also in the chamber of the spring (7) and via the jet bore (8) at the pressure
relief valve poppet (9).
Due to the force balance the piston (13) is kept in its position supported by
the spring (7).
Overcomes the system pressure the setting of the valve (9), this valve opens a
channel to the dump line port (Y). Due to the drop of force the piston (13) is
moved to the right.
The pressure line gets connected with the return line (T).
Damped opening and closing are obtained by the throttled volumetric change
that is caused by the jet bores.

8.2.8 Checks and adjustments for the swing circuit, illu. (Z 21948b)

It is important that the complete MRV-valve and the Pressure


Increasing Valve is firmly (with 300 Nm) tightened.
Otherwise, internal leaks could occur which result in:
problems of correct adjustment, loud flow noises and high
temperatures.
Whenever pressure checks are carried out, they must be carried out
for both, R.H. and L.H. Swing, to make sure the double check valves in
the control lines and the check valves in the brake valve blocks are in
good condition.
Because the Swing motors are working hydraulically in combined
operation, the pressure gauge shows the pressure of the pressure
increasing valve with the lowest setting.
Even when the gauge shows the required pressure it is possible that
one valve has a higher setting.
Therefore lower the pressure on one valve below the required pressure
and then increase up to required pressure.
Proceed with next valve in the same manner.

High pressure check / adjustment


1. Connect gauges to check point M11 and M14 at the high pressure filter units.
2. Disconnect the pilot pressure lines from the T-unions and close the lines with a
suitable plug (P).
3. Loosen lock nut (3) of both pressure increasing valves (PIV) and screw in set
screw (4) until piston (5) comes to stop.
4. Start the engine and let it run with max. speed.
5. Lower attachment to ground and apply house brake with switch S29.
6. Adjust the MRV-pressure to ~350 bar.
7. Actuate either L.H. or R.H. rotation (S154 ON) until the hydraulic system stalls.
Read the pressure, required = 330 5 bar.
8. If the gauge shows a smaller or greater value the pressure increasing valve must
be adjusted:
a) Loosen lock nut (1) of the first pressure increasing valve PIV.
b) Adjust pressure with set screw (2) to ~340 bar.
If the pressure wont increase, turn set crew (2) of the second PIV a turn
further in (c.w.).
c) Secure by tightening lock nut (1).
d) Loosen lock nut (1) of the second PIV.
e) Reduce the pressure with set screw (2) to a value of about 320 bar, and then
increase up to the required pressure of 330 bar.
f) Secure adjusted set screw (2) by tightening lock nut (1)
g) Reduce the pressure with set screw (2) of the first to a value of about 320 bar,
and then increase up to the required pressure of 330 bar.
h) Secure adjusted set screw (2) by tightening lock nut (1)

(with still disconnected pilot pressure line )
9.

Actuate either L.H. or R.H. rotation (S154 ON) until the hydraulic system stalls.
a) Loosen lock nut (3) of both (PIVs) and reduce the pressure equally with set
screws (4) to a value of about 130 bar, secure setting with lock nut (3)
b) Loosen lock nut (3) of the first PIV.
c) Reduce the pressure with set screw (4) of the first PIV to a value of about 110
bar, and then increase up to the required pressure of 120 bar.
d) Secure adjusted set screw (4) by tightening lock nut (3)
e) Loosen lock nut (3) of the second PIV.
f) Reduce the pressure with set screw (4) of the second PIV to a value of about
110 bar, and then increase up to the required pressure of 120 bar.
g) Secure adjusted set screw (4) by tightening lock nut (3)
10. Re-connect the pilot pressure line.
11. Re-set MRV-pressure and remove the gauges after the check / adjustment is
finished

Strong pulsation of the return line hoses, indicates deviation in


opening pressure of PIVs and must be avoided.
Repeat the adjusting procedure until the oil returns well-balanced
via all three pressure increasing valves.

Brake pilot pressure - check / adjustment


1.
Connect the gauge to the check point M27.
2.
Start engine and let it run with max. speed.
3.
Depress fully the foot brake pedal (E22) and read the pressure.
The pressure must be 24 +1 bar.
If adjustment is required:
Alter the position of the potentiometer R2 of the amplifier A16 until the
pressure is 24 +1 bar.
Basic adjustment for A16 see section 5

8.3.1 Travel Circuit
Illustration (Z 22506a):
Brief description (Service circuits)
(Study together with the hydraulic and electric circuit diagram).
The travel motors (21.1 + 21.2) are driven by the pumps (2 + 4).
The oil flows from the pumps through the high pressure filters to the control
blocks (II + IV).
In neutral position of the spools the oil flows via the return oil lines into the
collector tube (107) and further via the return oil lines (L6 + L7) into the tank
collector tube (54) and further to the tank.
On its way to tank the oil must flow through the back pressure valve (55) and
the return oil filter (59.1 - 59.4). (Back pressure valve function see section 4.)
When operating the foot pedal for "Travelling" the pump line of each control
block is connected with the corresponding service line (A1 or B1) via the
rotary distributor (19) and travel brake valves (56.1 + 56.2) to the travel
motors (21.1 + 21.2).
The travel brake valve acts as a flow control valve in order to avoid the travel
motors picking up speed when travelling downhill.
Each travel gear includes a spring loaded multi disk brakes (House brakes 57.1 57.2). They are used as parking brakes, automatically applied by the function of
Y16 whenever the engine is switched OFF.
The brake release pressure is monitored by the pressure switch (B48).
The leak oil (case drain) flows through the line (L9) and the leak oil filter (53)
back to tank.

8.3.2 Travel Motor


Axial piston motor A2FLM
The axial piston units of product group A2FM with fixed displacement can
operate as a hydraulic motor only.
The drive speed is proportional to the consumption capacity.
The output torque increases with the pressure drop between high and low
pressure side.
The motor converts hydrostatic energy into mechanical energy.

Function:
The pressure oil inlet (A or B) and consequent oil outlet (B or A) determine
the output drive direction of the drive shaft (1).
Direction of rotation:
"Clockwise"
= Direction of flow A to B
"Counter-Clockwise" = Direction of flow B to A
with view onto drive shaft!
Via the control lens (8) the oil is directed to the cylinder bores.
The piston (5) is moved from the lower (6b) to the upper dead point (6a) by
means of the force acting on it and causes the drive shaft to rotate. On further
rotation of the drive shaft (additional pistons are pressurized) this piston is
moved towards the lower dead point again and oil of the cylinder chamber is
forced out through the kidney formed openings of the control lens. This oil is
fed back to the tank via the return line.
If the supply and return line is changed it changes the output drive direction
of the drive shaft.
By means of the angled arrangement of the cylinder (7) (bent axis design), a
certain piston stroke is produced which results in a fixed displacement per
revolution of the drive shaft. According to the size of the applied flow this
produces a specific output speed.
The output torque at the drive shaft is dependent on the size of the motor and
the required operating pressure.

8.3.3 Rotary Distributor


Task:
The rotary distributor (joint) permits a hydraulic connection between the
superstructure and the under- carriage, that means between the rotating and the
stationary part.

The letters punch marked, beside the ports are marked as they are used in the
hydraulic diagram.

Function:
During operation superstructure and under carriage constantly rotate towards
each other. Nevertheless, the travel oil motors must be supplied with
hydraulic oil in every position in which the superstructure is moved in regard
to the undercarriage. Oil is directed by the control blocks to the ports (A-D)
of the housing (2).
The oil flows to the outlet ports (A-D), of the rotor (1), via ring grooves as
well as longitudinal and cross holes. The rotor is bolted to the under carriage.
The sealing of the ring grooves among one another is done by sealing
elements (5).
The hydraulic connection for case drain, house brake and the track tensioning
cylinders is done via the ports (L), (St), (K1) and (K2).
The entering of dirt gets blocked by the seal ring (6) and the collar of the
cover (3). The rotor (1) is at the top and bottom section guided in the housing
by the guide rings (7).

Function:
Brake applied:
The outer disks (14) engaged to the housing by serration and the
inner disks (15) in serration connection with the disk carrier, are pressed
together by the springs (3). This results in a fixed connection between
housing and inner disk carrier (23).
Brake released:
Oil pressure via port (9) forces the piston (5) against the springs (3) towards
the retainer (2).
This function eliminates the spring force onto the disks thus the brake is
released.
The minimum releasing pressure is 21 - 23 bar, the maximum permissible
pressure 100 bar.
This is a so named "Wet Brake" because the brake housing is filled with oil.

For more information refer to the OPERATION AND

8.3.6 Travel Brake Valve


Illustration Z 21695
Task:
Travel brake valves control the oil flow from the hydraulic motor to the tank
depending on operating pressure. This braking action prevents the motors from
over speeding.
Function:
Spring force keeps the spool in the lowest flow position. with increasing
operating pressure the opening for the return oil flow becomes larger.
On its way to the hydraulic motor the oil flows from A to A1 respectively from
B to B1 depending on the selected travel motion.
Example:
Operating pressure at port A moves spool (1) against the force of the spring (2)
and opens the way for the return oil (B1 to B).
Check valve (3) prevents a direct oil flow from B1 to B.
If the operating pressure decreases to such an extend that the spring force
overcomes the pressure, the flow to the tank becomes restricted, resulting in
braking of the machine.

1. Connect pressure gauge to the required check points :
L.H. track

R.H. track

M12 = Operating pressure for the L.H.-motor M13 = Operating pressure for the R.H.-motor
M28.1 = SRV- pressure L.H.-travel forward
M28.3 = SRV- pressure R.H.-travel forward
M28.2 = SRV- pressure L.H.-travel backward M28.4 = SRV- pressure R.H.-travel backward

2. Unplug solenoid valve Y16 (located at the control and filter panel) to keep
the parking brake applied.
3. Start engine and let it run with max. speed
4. Engage carefully the desired travel motion and keep the pedal in final
position to built up max. pressure.
5. Increase slowly the MRV-pressure while observing the pressure gauge.
Gauge value must remain at 310bar + 5bar.
If the gauge shows a smaller or greater value the SRV must be adjusted

A faulty Anti-cavitation Valve (68.3 + 68.4, 68.6 + 68.7) or a leaking


seal of the rotary joint (19) can influence the SRV pressure reading /
setting. Repair or replace faulty parts if necessary

Adjusting the SRVs :


+
1. Set MRVs to 320 bar 10 bar (using an attachment cylinders)
2. Engage carefully the desired travel motion and keep the pedal in final position
to built up max. pressure.
3. Lower the pressure at the required SRV to 290 bar and then increase up to the
required pressure of 310bar. Proceed with next valves in the same manner.
+
4. Re-set MRVs to 310 bar 5 bar (using an attachment cylinders) and replug the solenoid valve Y16.
How to adjust MRVs and SRVs:
a) Remove protective cap (1) and loosen lock nut (2).
b) Adjust pressure with set screw (3).
c) Secure adjustment by tightening lock nut (2) and replace cap (1).
d) Re-check pressure setting.

It is important that the complete MRV-valve and SRV-valve is firmly


(with 300 Nm) tightened.
Otherwise, internal leaks could occur which result in:
problems of correct adjustment, loud flow noises and high temperatures.

The hydraulic track tensioning system ensures automatically the correct track
tension.
The pilot pressure pumps (9.1 and 9.3) will supply oil to all four tensioning
cylinders (124.1 124.4).
The maximum pressure is limited by pressure increasing valves (141).
The pressure in the tensioning cylinders transmits the required force to move
the guide wheels to the front, until the correct track tension is obtained.
External forces acting at the guide wheels will be absorbed through the
pressure accumulators (119.1 + 119.2, first stage) and (120.1 120.4, second
stage).

For information about the preventative track inspection, refer to the


Operation and Maintenance Manual.

Functional description:
Illustration Z 22756 and Z 22757 (on next page):

Under normal operating condition shut-off cock (118.4) located on the


valve block (140) in the car body is closed. The shut-off cock (118.1)
located on the valve block (140) in the car body and (118.2 and 118.3)
located inside the side frames are open.

The oil flow of the pilot pressure pumps (9.1 + 9.3), filtered by pressure filters
(68.1 + 68.7) enters port "P" of solenoid valve Y16, via the common pilot
pressure supply line (45 bar) of the central control and filter panel (36).
If solenoid valve Y16 is actuated (i.e. pressure at sensor B48), the oil for the
travel parking brake (reduced to 35 bar by the function of valve 147), flows via
rotary joint (59), shut-off cock (118.1), the orifice, the two check valves (121.1 +
121.2) and the shut-off cocks (118.2 + 118.3) the into the tensioning cylinders
(124.1 124.4).
The resulting force moves the guide wheels toward the front, until the correct
track tension is obtained.
Simultaneously the system is via check valves (125.1 + 125.2) connected to the
pressure increasing valve (141).
External forces acting at the guide wheels will be absorbed through the pressure
accumulators (119.1 + 119.2, first stage) and (120.1 120.4, second stage).
Purpose of the pressure increasing valve
The two system pressures

35 bar with engine stopped


310 bar with engine running
are controlled by the pressure increasing valve as follows.
With stopped motor and switched off ignition there is no pilot pressure (L39) at
pressure increasing valve (141) and only the lowest adjusted pressure of 35 bar
remains in the system.
As soon as the motor has been started, the pilot pressure acts on the pressure
increasing valve. As a result the system pressure can rise to the adjusted pressure
of 310 bar.

Illustration (Z 22757):
Cushioning Function
When the tensioning cylinders (124.1 124.4) are moved in by external
forces, the none return valves (121.1 + 121.2) will be closed.
A certain amount from the displaced oil of the tensioning cylinders is taken
up by the pressure accumulators.
First stage:

at a pressure higher than 31 bar, oil is taken up by the side frame


accumulators (119.1 + 119.2).

Second stage: at a pressure higher than 150 bar, oil is taken up by the center
section accumulators (120.1 120.4).
The system pressure can rise up to 310 bar pressure increasing valve (141)
setting.
With reduction of external forces, the oil is pushed back by the accumulator
pressure into the tensioning cylinders.
If the displaced oil volume was higher than the accumulators could take up,
oil is added from the pilot pressure circuit, as soon as the pressure in the lines
to the tensioning cylinder is lower than 35 bar.
To avoid serious damages to the pilot pressure system in case of a faulty
check valve, pressure relief valve (257.1) with a 55 bar setting is installed.

For information about the preventative track inspection, refer to the


Operation and Maintenance Manual.
To check the accumulator charging pressure refer to PARTS &
SERVICE NEWS AH01531a latest edition.

Lock nut

Function:
The valve poppet (2) is connected via the jet bores (11) and (12) with the P
port.
If static pressure increases above the set pressure value, the valve poppet (2)
opens and allows oil to flow freely to tank (T1). This oil generates a pressure
drop in the spring chamber of the main spool, the closing force of the spring
(6) is cancelled, and the main piston (5) opens to allow the pump flow to flow
to tank (T2).
Damped opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change.
By applying external pressure of Pst max = 60 bar to the main spool (9) via
port X, the pre-tensioning of the pressure spring (3) is increased by the amount
of the piston stroke "S" and system pressure is increased correspondingly.
The setting is fixed by means of the setting screw (7) and lock nut (13); 1 turn
of the screw ~ 150 bar.

sensor (S91) prevents unintended movement of the ladder.

The access ladder is hydraulically operated by the hydraulic cylinder (Z) with
the pilot pressure X2 of 45 bar. The movement of the ladder is controlled by
the function of switch:
S84:
=> Lowering the ladder
S84B
=> Lifting the ladder
Lifting the ladder is only possible with the motor running. The lowering
movement is possible by hydraulic force with the motor running or by the
force of gravity with the motor at stand sill.

If the ladder is not in the final upper position the pilot control is
switched off and solenoid valve Y120 activates the hydraulic swing
brake. The display in the operators cab shows a message.

Study together with illustration Z22814a and the electric diagram on the next
page.
The pump (8.1) delivers the oil through filter (33) to port A of pressure relief
valve (252.2).
The pressure relief valve (252.2) maintains the adjusted pressure of 60 bar, called
X4-pressure.
By the function of pressure reducing valve (252.1) the X4-pressure will be
reduced to 45 bar (called X2-pressure) and is present at port P of solenoid
valve Y123A/B. If solenoid valve Y123 A or B is energized the oil flows to the
cylinder and the ladder will move up or down. By the function of shuttle valve
(258.4) both service lines are connected to safety valve (258.3), which limits the
pressure to 70 bar.
Return oil from cylinder (115) flows back via solenoid valve Y123A/B to
solenoid valve Y125.
Y125 = ON => Maximum cylinder speed, return oil flow not restricted when
both proximity switches S22 and S91 are not activated (ladder
between top and bottom end position)
Y125 = OFF => Reduced cylinder speed, return oil flow is restricted by orifice
(258.7) when one of the proximity switches S22 (ladder up) or
S91 (ladder down) is activated i.e. cushioning function just
before the final upper or lower end position is reached.
If the ladder is in the top position the activated sensor S22 de-energizes Y125
and energizes Y123A, with the result that the cylinder of the ladder is always
charged with pressure in this position.
If switch S84 is in neutral position and the ladder in bottom position sensor
S91 de-energise all solenoids (Y125; Y123 A+B) and the ladder is blocked.

10.1 Function of hydraulically operated access ladder


Cont'd:
Prime drive is not running and the ladder is in the final upper position
With switch S84 activated in position 2 (ladder down) solenoid valve Y123B
and relay K132 are active. Y123B connects the piston side of the cylinder to
the return line and K132 activates Y125, so that the oil can return without
resistance to the tank. Now the ladder can move down only by its own mass
(due to the force of gravity). The operator has to push the ladder slightly until
it starts moving down by its own weight.
The rod site of the cylinder receives oil via anti-cavitation valve (258.5).
It is not necessary to activate the key switch, because the involved
components are directly battery supplied via fuse F17.
There is an additional pull switch S84A below the ladder support. With this
switch activated the ladder can moved down from the ground.
Make sure that there are no obstacles in the moving range of the
ladder. Stop raising the ladder by releasing the control switch (S84) if
there are any obstacles in the moving range.
Mount the ladder only in completely lowered position.
Do not lift persons or objects (tools) with the hydraulic access ladder.
Serious injury or death could occur.

Task:
The cable drum, driven by a brake motor with slip ring rotor, is installed to
wind up or unwind the power supply cable automatically.
1. To considerably improve the mobility of the excavator.
2. To make the operation safer (Material and personnel) i.e. less risk to
damage the cable when travelling backwards and less danger of injury
because the cable must not manual moved.
3. To increase the lifetime of the cable, because the cable is not dragging on
the ground.
For the optimal use of the cable drum it is necessary that the operator
understands the system very well.
Regular maintenance is essential

The resistor 5R1 serves as a series resistor for a three- phase motor with a slip ring
rotor (stand still, sliding rotor-brake motor)
It is a resistor with one or more taps (as a function of drum design), to make a selection
of different star bridges possible. The taps serve to regulate the motor and brake torque
during winding up and unwinding.
With service switch 5S1 is it possible to control the cable drum manually in both
directions (windup, unwind, stop and automatic)
The terminal box X8 contains the terminal rails , the relays 5K7, 5K8, 5K10, 5K11,
circuit breakers 5F13 + 5F14 and motor temperature control unit F79.
Direction of rotation monitoring switch 5S3 opens its contact and de-energizes 5K10
and 5K11 while unwinding (traveling forward) and eliminates the resistor which
controls the star bridge. (Lowest tensioning force)
Gear type cam switch 5S4* reduces the tensioning as soon as half of the cable is
unwinded (contact 21/22 opens and de-energizes 5K11) or stops reverse travelling as
soon as the max. length of the cable is winded up (contact 31/32 opens and deenergizes K178) or stops forward travelling as soon as the safety cable length on the
drum gets unwinded (contact 11/12 opens and de-energizes relay K177).
The proximity switch 5S8 stops L.H. crawler reverse travelling at too much deflection
of the power supply cable to the left (contact br/sw opens and de-energizes K179).
The proximity switch 5S9 stops R.H. crawler reverse travelling at too much deflection
of the power supply cable to the right (contact br/sw opens and de-energizes K180).
The proximity switch 5S10 and 5S11 stops reverse travelling with ground contact.
Pendulum control cam switch 5S6* stops forward travelling at too tight power supply
cable (contact 11/12 opens and de-energizes K177) or reverse travelling at too much
slack of power supply cable (contact 21/22 opens and de-energizes K178).
The motor temperature control unit F79 interrupts all travel motions as soon as drive
motor 5M6 reaches a critical temperature (monitored by sensor 5B79).

11.2.1 Controlling of the drive motor
General:
In the automatic mode of control switch 5S1, the power supply to drive motor
5M6 is controlled by the function of the travel control system, which controls
relay 5K7, i.e. while traveling the contacts of 5K7 are closed and kept closed for
further 10 seconds after stopping the travelling motion (controlled by time relay
D53), before the power supply will be interrupted and the motor brake is active.
The torque of drive motor 5M6 is controlled by the function of the relay 5K10 and
5K11; which changes the resistance at the star bridge (5R1). Both relay are
simultaneously controlled by switch 5S3 (Direction of rotation monitoring
switch), to ensure the lowest tensioning force while unwinding (i.e. traveling
forward)
Winding up (automatic mode of control switch 5S1):
While winding up the NC-contact of switch 5S3 remains closed which allows
voltage to the relay 5K10 and (if the contact 21/22 of switch 5S4 is closed) also to
5K11.
Example travelling reverse:
Cable length on drum: Max. Max. => 5K10 ON + 5K11 ON => max. torque
Cable length on drum: Min. Max. => 5K10 ON + 5K11 OFF => reduced torque
Unwinding (automatic mode of control switch 5S1):
The NC-contact of switch 5S3 opens while traveling forward and de-energizes
simultaneously 5K10 and 5K11, with the result that there is just enough torque to
hold the cable tight.

The cam discs (3), arranged in pairs on the centering discs, can be adjusted
individually and continuously by means of a adjusting spanner (4) The centering
discs can be reversed and are fixed to the square shaft without clearance.
Adjustment can be performed in any position without having to turn the control
shaft. The cam discs, separated from each other by the guard plate, slide past each
other without touching during adjustment. The cam ring next to the cam ring to be
adjusted will not shift and remains in the set position.
Hollow-type rivets prevent accidental shifting of the cam discs.
By selecting the appropriate contact - either make or brake - any angle between 0
and 350 can be set without changing the cam rings.
When the cam hits the actuator (2), the latter will operate the micro switch (1).
Adjustment of the switch mechanism.
1. Loosen the tensioning nut (6) with the handle of the adjusting spanner (4).
2. Bring the adjusting spanner (4) in the position shown on illustration Z22837.
3. Set the cam discs (3) to the required position.
4. Adjust all other cam discs, following this procedure.
5. When all cam discs have been adjusted, tighten the tensioning nut.

When diodes are fitted to a relay, they are fitted to allow a current flow in one
direction only. An LED* (Light Emitting Diode) indicates a current flow if it
lights up.
When diodes ** are fitted anti-parallel to a relay coil, they absorb the high
induced voltage caused by making and breaking the current flow through the
coil.
This occurs each time we operate a switch supplying current to the coil. The
diode effect allows the induced current to circulate within the coil windings and
decay when the energy to the coil is cut.

Coding Types and Number Systems
ASCII

American Standard Code for Information Interchange: A standardized


information processing code developed in the USA based on
7 bits = 0 127 (7-bit code), (extended ASCII-code of 8-bit = 0 - 255)

Digital

(Eng. Digit) is the representation of a continuos value or a physical


quantity (e.g. voltage) in several levels as a numeric value.
With regard to automation devices one also refers to word processing
in which case a word is a number (e.g. 573).

Analogue

is the representation of a continuos physical quantity (e.g. current or


voltage) which corresponds to the value of a proportional condition
(e.g. rotational speed, routing, temperature, etc.)
For an automation device this physical value converted into 1024 levels,
for example (10-bit analogues-digital conversion). The digitalized value
thus acts within a defined range (e.g. 0 0 volts to 1024 10 volts) in
proportion to a certain input quantity (e.g. voltage). Conversely, by using
a digital-analog conversion, a digitalized value can be converted into a
continuous output signal (current, voltage).

Numeral

A value expressed in one digit: from 0 to 9 in the decimal system and 0-F
in the hexadecimal system.

Number

Value consisting of one or more numeric characters.

Baud

Unit used in serial transmission of data: bits per second (bit/s).

Baud Rate

Modulation rate or transmission speed of serial transmission of binary


numbers. The DIGSY plus uses a baud rate of 2400 baud for
communication and down-loading.

Binary

Numbers, data and information which are exclusively expressed using


the two values 0 and 1 are bivalent = binary dates and information,
exclusive with the use of digits 0 and 1 (e.g. 1 = current 0 = no current).

Dual(Binary) Number (Dual = 2) is the simplest binary numeric expression. Each


position is arranged according to increasing powers of 2.
Example: 13463dec. = 0011 0100 1001 0111dual

How to Proceed due Maintenance and Installation

Contd.:
Serious damage may happen at irrelevant opening and improper repair.
Open always the resp. circuit breaker before opening a unit.
I/O cables may only be connect or disconnect in a powerless state.
A BIM module will be damaged while supplying an external power
of 24VDC to the inputs and/ or outputs. If it is necessary for
faultfinding or external unit checks the connection to the PLC has to be
interrupted.
Without power interruption the interface cable are only allowed to be
disconnect or connect when following preconditions are given:
1. The cable must be shielded and the shield must be connected to the
cover of the plug-in connector.
2. A potential balance must be made by connecting the GND
potential parts of the plug connector parts before connecting
the cables.
Replace the fuses only by fuses which matches the values given in the
technical dates

Do not through batteries into open flame and do not solder at their cell
body, explosion can occur (max. Temperature 100 C). Do not open and
do not recharge batteries that contain lithium or mercury. Replace
them by same type only!
Dispose batteries and accumulators as special waste.

Attention: The complete shield of the analogous cable must be connected to the
ground (GND) bolt of the PLC housing. This bolt must be connected to the
X2 frame / machine ground by a cable (as short as possible) with 2,5 mm2
cross section.
When using plug connectors with metal boxes and connected shield the
additional complete shielding of the analogous cable with the ground bolt
is not necessary. But attention must be played that the metal box is
connected by screws with the PLC housing.
The twisted signal lines are pair wise shielded and already via the 50-pol
female part of the connector connected to ground. The single shielding at
the free end of the cable must not be connected with earth.

Safety Precautions for Faultfinding, Illust. Z21427

As already mentioned no external 24 V supply is allowed to the


outputs of the BIM modules of the PLC.
If it is necessary while tracing faults, the cable to the PLC must be
disconnected subsequent to a component check, thus as relays,
solenoids or others by the PLC controlled components.
Procedure: Study together with the relevant circuit diagram
1.
Find the terminal between the component and the PLC.
2.
Example terminal 8X2-280 for the solenoid valve 8Y6.1.
3.
Disconnect the wire on one side of the terminal.
4.
Now supply 24 V to the solenoid and check function of it.
5.
Finally re-connect the wire to the terminal
Binary Outputs A
2A-Short circuit proof
Each single Output of the Output group can withstand a load of 2A, but the
total load must not exceed 10 A. The Output group will be switched OFF if
one of the Output becomes overloaded (> 2 A), the short circuit marker will
be set and the MK- LED comes ON.

General

Signal Status
Voltage level:
1 = 24 V* between E (Input) and GND
0 =

0 V** between E (Input) and GND

* 13 V up to actual supply voltage


** 0V up to 5 V

The left half of the picture shows so named PULL-DOWN resistors and the
right half PULL-UP resistors. The resistors are installed to get a low ohmical
input. A system with contacts only leads to a (high ohmical) input if dust or
moisture bridges the contacts.
PULL-DOWN resistors are installed with a normal NC contact (means with a
de-energized relay or normal closed switch contact) thus the ECS recognize a
fault after switching ON the system.
PULL-UP resistors are installed with a normal NO contact (means with a deenergized relay or normal open switch contact) thus the ECS recognize a fault
after switching ON the system.

Analogous Inputs:
EW 14.1 for pressure sensor B87A (0 up to 500 bar)
Measuring channel: 0......10 V
Function:
- Voltage supply for the pressure sensor: 24 V
- Output voltages Ua (OUT+, pin 2) of the pressure sensors:
Sensor 0 0,4 bar
K= 25 V / bar
Sensor 0 60 bar
K= 0,1667 V / bar
Sensor 0 500 bar
K= 0,02 V / bar
(Pressure sensors with +1 V Offset)
Possible voltage checks:
24 V Supply between supply line 15 (start at circuit breaker) and GND.
Output voltage OUT (pin 2) of the sensor
between GND. Use respective circuit diagram for terminal numbers.
* How to calculate the Output voltage Ua:
Ua = output voltage proportional to the pressure input.
P = input pressure
K = calculation factor for the respective pressure sensor.
Ua = (P x K) + 1 V
Example for 200 bar and a 0 500 bar sensor:
Ua = (200 x 0,02) + 1 V = 5 V

14.5.3 Temperature Measuring and trouble shooting Illustration Z22803a


General:
(study with the respective circuit diagram)
The signal of the PT100 temperature probe cant connect direct to the ANM
Module (Analog input of the PLC). A temperature transducer module change
the PT100 signal (Ohm) into a suitable current (mA) signal for the ANM
Module. The temperature probe is connected with a four wire technique to
compensate the line resistance of the long wire between the X2 switch board
and the temperature probe.
Analogous Inputs (eg.: Hydraulic oil temperature sensor B15)
The temperature probe B15 is with 4-wire technology (distorting compensation)
connected to the transducer U15 terminal 1, 4, 2, and 3 (measuring range: -50
C......+150 C). The output terminal 5 and 6 of the transducer is connected to the
ECS analogues input EW 2.1 (input range 4 20 mA). The transducer need 24
V power supply via terminal 7 and 8 (+24V, ground).
Function:
The temperature transducer convert the
measured values from the PT100 temperature
probe into electrically standardized analog
signals. With the four wire technique the length
and the cross section of the wires are not
important; because the electrical resistance of the
two current lines gets compensated. The sensor
is supplied with a low electrical current from the
temperature transducer (I+ and I-). Additional to
the temperature probe (PT100) resistance the
line resistance influence the current flow what
falsified the PT100 measurement. To
compensate the line resistance there are two
additional lines (U+ and U-) close to the PT100
connected. Via this lines the transducer measure
exact a tension drop between in- and output of
the PT100 probe witch is only created by the
PT100 resistance. Because there is no current flow through this lines witch
are influenced by the line resistance (compared to hydraulic system- its like
a test hose with a pressure gauge). The module convert this tension drop into
a current signal (4-20mA) which is proportional to the temperature.
In the interest of proper function must the line resistance not exceed 50 .
Additional the lines must be shielded according to the standards. The picture
shows the wiring of a PT100 probe to a temperature transducer in four wire
technique.

Contd.:
Possible measurements PT100:
Disconnect the wires at the resistor and measure the resistance across the
resistor.
Compare the measured resistance with the values given in the table on next
page.
If the value correspond to the temperature measured with an other temperature
gauge the PT100 resistor is OK.; otherwise replace resistor.
Wiring:
Disconnect the wires at the resistor and inside X2-box at the temperature
transducer terminal 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Measure the line resistance to the ground.
All single wire resistance must be the same.
Transducer:
Connect a Ampere-meter in line between terminal 5 of the transducer and the
disconnected wire to the ECS. Select mA range and check the current. The value
must compare to the PT100 resistance with the following calculation:
I = [( 50 + t ) x 0,08 ] + 4
t = temperature [C]
(Check temperature via PT100 resistance and temperature chart next page)
I = current [mA] to the ECS

14.6 Hints for reading the functional flow charts


14.6.1

General

Probably the best aid for trouble shooting is the confidence of knowing
the system and how to use the ECS. Every component has a purpose in
the system. The construction and operating characteristics of each one
should be understood.
Use always the electric/hydraulic circuit diagram the flowchart and
the operation manual for the specific machine.

1. Select on page 1 of the flow chart, (which contains the table of contents
and the main program) the respective subprogram, for example the
Power-Master lube system.
2. Components in the flow chart, have the same identification code as in the
electric/hydraulic circuit diagram, as shown in cross reference list (page 2-4).
For example: Relay K50 = ?
On page 2 (cross reference list) you find out that relay K50 is shown on
page 43 of the flowchart.
3. On each page of the respective subprogram you will find the functional
description in plain text.
In case of problems concerning reading the program loops, you may find
answers in the frequently asked questions list on page 6 and 7 of the flow
chart.

Diagram position (a):
A 24 VDC signal from the PLC activate solenoid valve (2) that opens and activate
the lubrication pump. (*). As solenoid valve (2) opens hydraulic oil flows through
the pressure reducing valve (4), it lowers the hydraulically pilot oil pressure to the
operating range of the hydraulic driven lube pump. The reduced pilot oil pressure
operates now the grease pump. The oil cylinder shuttles the grease cylinder at 18
20 double strokes per minute and delivering 612 680 cm (37.3 41.5 in) of

Oscillation Cylinder and Control Block, illustration Z 21174

Description:
Oscillation cylinder (6) is auto directional controlled, non pressure related. This
differential cylinder is connected to the pilot pressure suppliy line (P) and a tank
line (T). The speed is contolled by a flow contol valve (3) and the maximum
working pressure is controlled by a pressure reducing valve (2).

Function:
The Oscillatin cylinder (6) starts as soon pilot pressure is send via the connection
(P) to the control block (1). Design related the cylinder (6) retract always first
after start or from any position the piston has stopped before. When the cylinder
reaches the fully retracted position the flow will be redirected automatically and
the cylinders moves in the extending position. If the cylinder comes to an stop in
between the end positions weather the oil supply get stopped or the cylinder is
hold back by a higher work resistance than the supply pressure, the cylinder
changes direction and retracts.

(illustration Z21175b):

Stroke speed
For a sufficient lube pump operation 18 20 double strokes / min for the pump
drive cylinder are required. Therefore the flow reducing valve (3) has to be
adjusted accordingly.
Procedure:
1. Remove electrical plug connection form the discharge valve (7), so no
pressure built up will take place during the following test.
2. Start motor.
3. Switch ON the lube system annually and count strokes per minute, visible
on the moving up and down of pipe (1).
If adjustment is required:
a. Loosen lock nut (3.1)
b. Turn adjustment (3) until the right number of strokes is achieved.
turn set screw ccw for more speed and cw to reduce the speed
c. Tighten lock nut (3.1).
Working pressure
The pressure reducing valve (2) mounted in the oscillation control block reduce
the supply pressure internally to maximal allowed 45 bar.
The pressure ration is 6,55 to 1, that means 45 bar supply pressure result in 295 bar
maximum lubricant pressure.
At the end of line pressure switch the pressure should be 180 0,5 bar. With the
lubricant line resistance and different lubricant viscosity the pressure at the
lubricant pump output must be higher as 180 bar. For standard condition adjust the
maximum pump pressure to 220 bar 250 bar, depend on lubricant line resistance
and different lubricant viscosity.
Procedure:
1. Disconnect quick coupling (8), so the pump will be blocked when started.
2. Start motor.
3. Switch ON the lube system manually, the gauge should show 220-250 bar.
If adjustment is required:
a. Loosen lock nut (2.1)
d. Turn adjustment (2) until the right pressure is shown at the gauge.
turn set screw ccw for lower pressure and cw to increase the pressure
b. Tighten lock nut (2.1).
c. Reconnect quick coupling (8).

If the required pressure cant be adjusted, check adjustment of the 60


bar pilot pressure valve (X-4 pressure) at the filter and control panel in
the machinery house.

Function:
As soon as the adj. "Pause-Time" is finished the solenoid valves
(2) and (7) are energized. The lubricant pump (1) start to pump lubricant in
the lubricant supply line.
By the function of the solenoid valve (7) the port to the vent line (15) (return
line to the lubricant container) is closed, thus a pressure built up is possible.
The high-pressure barrel pump (1) supplies lubricant into the supply line (8). It
continuos through the lubricant filter (12) to the injectors (metering valves) (18).

The picture shows an example only. The hole system includes much
more injectors which are connected via pipes or hoses to the supply
line (8).

In the Injectors the lubricant forced with full pump pressure via the feed lines
(19) to the lube points.
The actual operating pressure can be monitored at the pressure gauge (14)
and checked at the pressure check point (17).

When all injectors pistons have reached there final position no more lubricant
is accepted from the supply line which causes a pressure increase in the
supply line (8).
As soon as the pressure reaches the adjusted value of the end-of-line switch
(16) the solenoid valves (2) de-energized and the lubricant pump switched
Off. Depend on different factory settings vent valve (7) de energize together
with solenoid valve (2) or after a fix adjusted time of max. 5 minutes.
With de-energized solenoid valve (7) the port to vent line (15) ( return line to
the lubricant container ) opened and release the lubricant and lubricant

With the diminishing pressure in the main line the pistons of the injector (18)
are forced by spring force in their initial position and the discharge chambers
are filled with grease for the following lubrication cycle.
The system is now prepared for a new lubrication cycle. The operation is reinitiated after the next "Pause Time" is elapsed.
The proper build-up of the pressure in the supply line (8) is monitored by the

It follows an exemplary explanation for a central lubrication system


for machines equipped with PLC System. For details see the circuit
diagram of the respective machine. The Lubrication Systems are
PLC controlled. No relay adjustment necessary.
Central lubrication system controlling :
The PLC from the ECS System controls the whole lubrication systems.
The solenoid valves (Y7, Y7A or Y9, Y9A) on top of the lubrication stations are
direct connected to digital output ports of the PLC.
On a few machines there are additional relays between PLC outputs and the
solenoid valves.
Depend on a PLC input from the end-of-line pressure switch (B43 or B46) and a
PLC internal time counter the grease system start a lubrication cycle.
The lubrication cycle starts.
If the pause time elapsed the PLC energize both solenoid valves (Y7, Y7A or
Y9, Y9A) of the respective lubrication system. The motor must run. The pilot
pump pressure activate now the lubrication pump and the lubrication pressure to
the injectors increase.
If the lubricant pressure reach the adjusted pressure of the end-of-line pressure
switch (B43 or B46) its contact change and the PLC input signal change.
The PLC de energize the respective lubrication pump supply valve (Y7 or Y9) to
stop the pump. For the next 5 min the respective pressure releasing valve (Y7A
or Y9A) are continued energized to keep the lubricant pressure still on a high
level to be able all injectors inject the hole adjusted amount of lubricant.
After the 5 min. pressure holding time the PLC de energize the respective
pressure releasing valve (Y7A or5 Y9A) The lubricant pressure drops and the
injectors move by spring load back in its initial position. A PLC internal counter
is still counting a additional decreasing time to monitor the end-of-line pressure
switch (B43 or B46) position. The PLC internal time counter is still counting up
to the next lubrication cycle.
The lubrication cycle is finished.

the end of line pressure switch (B43) contact is closed.

Monitoring:
The orderly built-up of the pressure in the lubricant supply line is monitored by
the end-of-line switch (B43 or B46).
If the pressure adjusted at the end-of-line switch is not reached within the adjusted
maximal increasing time the PLC switch off both solenoid (Y7 and Y7A or Y9

Capacitive analog sensor for lubricant level monitoring,


Illustration Z 21179f
Task:
A lubricant (L) maximum filling level monitoring is necessary to prevent an
overfilling of the grease barrel (C) via the refilling system (only systems with
refilling arm). The PLC use the analog level signal from the sensor to activate a
lamp at the refilling arm just in the moment when the lubricant container is full.
The sensor (S) is mounted on top of the lubricant container and reaches into the
lubricant.
The refilling level activate only a message at the text display to inform that the
lubricant level must be filled up. The message comes up if the lubricant level
reach 5% (910 mm from the cover plate).
The minimum level stop the respective lubrication pump and release the
lubricant pressure until the lubricant level reach the 0% mark (950 mm from the
cover plate). It is necessary to stop the lubrication system with empty lubricant
container to prevent the lubrication pump from running dry. With empty
lubricant container the bucket motion will be switched off after four hours.
Function:
The capacitively level sensor (S) check continuous the lubricant level (L) and
convert the capacitive signal into a current signal between 4 and 20mA. The
current signal increase with increasing lubricant level.
Use the specific electric circuit diagram and program flow charts.

The capacitively proximity switch used in our machines are


programmed by the supplier and therefor no adjustment or settings
required.

Principle of operation:
By the lubricant pump, the lubricant is supplied to the centered bore hole (B) of the
lubrication type pinion (R). Bore hole (B) must be perfectly aligned to the center of
the lubrication type pinion (A) to be greased, so that lubricant leaves the tooth flank
always when the gear tooth is in contact. The grease outlet (D) of the lubricating type
pinion is arranged at a different angle for each tooth, so that the lubricant is distributed
in a uniform and perfect manners on the tooth flank of the drive pinion to be
lubricated.
Function:
As soon as the adjusted "Pause-Time" elapse the solenoid valves (2 + 7). energized
and the lubricant pump (1) start to pump lubricant.
By the function of the solenoid valve (8) the port to the vent line (15) (return line to
the lubricant container) closed, thus a pressure built up is possible.
The high-pressure lubricant pump (1) supplies lubricant into the supply line (8). It
continuos through the lubricant filter (12) to the injectors (metering valves) (18).

The picture shows an example with one pinion only. There are also
machines which have more lubrication type pinion (dummy wheel).
By the injectors the lubricant is forced with full pump pressure via the feed line
(19) to the centered bore hole (B) of the lubricating type pinion (R).

Pos. 1

The injector piston (2) is in its normal or rest position. The discharge
chamber (9) is filled with lubricant from the previous cycle.
Under the pressure of incoming lubricant the slide valve (4) is about
to open the passage (5) leading to the piston.

Pos. 2

When the slide valve (4) uncovers the passage lubricant is admitted to
the top of piston (2) forcing the piston down. The piston force
lubricant from the discharge chamber (9) through the outlet port (10)
to the bearing or progressive distributor.
The lubricant pressure at the bearing or the progressive distributor is
always the same as the pump pressure.

Pos. 3

As the piston completes its stroke, it pushes the slide valve (4) past the
passage, cutting off further admission of lubricant to the passage.
Piston and slide valve remain in this position until lubricant pressure
in the supply line is vented (relieved) at the pump.
This is indicated by the injector stem (8). (fully in)

Pos. 4

After pressure is relieved the compressed spring (3) moves the slide
valve (4) to closed position.
This opens the port from the measuring chamber and permits the
lubricant to be transferred from the top of the piston to the discharge
chamber.
This is also indicated by the injector stem (8) (fully out)

Function:
The solenoid gets energized. When the lubrication starts.
The connection from A to B gets closed, thus a pressure build-up is possible.
The solenoid gets de-energized, as soon as the lubrication cycle is finished.
This causes opening of the connection A to B, thus the supply line to the
lubricant barrel is open. The lubricant flows from A to B or vice versa
along the main valve cone (5).
