BLOCK DIAGRAM - Standard and /Q option

E-RI-AES-EH are integral digital drivers 

with EtherCAT communication which supply
and control the current to the solenoid of
Atos proportional valves without transducer,
according to the electronic reference input
signal. The solenoid  proportionally transforms the current into a force, acting on the
valve spool or poppet, against a reacting
spring, thus providing the valves hydraulic
regulation.
E-RI-AES-EH can drive one single or one
double solenoid proportional valve.
The electronic main connector is fully interchangeable with the analog drivers one.
EtherCAT communications interface is available to command the valves directly from
the machine control unit, through connectors
 and .
The serial communication port  is always
present for configuration, monitoring and
firmware updating of the driver through Atos
PC software .

SIGNALS SPECIFICATIONS

Atos proportional valves are CE marked according to the applicable directives (e.g. Immunity/Emission EMC Directive).
Installation, wirings and start-up procedures must be performed according to the general prescriptions shown in table F003 and in the user manuals included in the E-SW programming software.
The electrical signals of the driver (e.g. monitor signals) must not be directly used to activate safety functions, like to switch-ON/OFF the machines safety
components, as prescribed by the European standards (Safety requirements of fluid technology systems and components-hydraulics, EN-982).
5.1

Power supply and wirings (V+ and V0)

The power supply must be appropriately stabilized or rectified and filtered: apply at least a 10000 F/40 V capacitance to single phase rectifiers or a
4700 F/40 V capacitance to three phase rectifiers.
A safety fuse is required in series to each driver power supply: 2,5 A fuse.
Note: pin 2 and 10 (zero Volt) are connected together inside the electronics.

5.2

Reference Input Signal (INPUT+ and INPUT-)

The driver controls in closed loop the current to the valve proportionally to the external reference input signal.
The driver is designed to receive one analog reference input (INPUT+,INPUT- differential mode input).
The input range and polarity are software selectable among voltage (10 VDC) and current (4 20 mA with cable break detection or 20 mA);
default settings are 0 10 VDC for two position and pressure single solenoid valves and 10 VDC for double solenoid valves and three position single solenoid valves (see valves tech. table). Other ranges can be set by software.
Drivers with EtherCAT fieldbus interface can be software set to receive reference value directly from the machine control unit (fieldbus master); in
this case the analog reference input signal can be used for start-up and maintenance operations.

Option /Z and Option /W

The reference input is available in common mode (INPUT+ referred to AGND) instead of the standard differential mode
5.3

Monitor Output Signals (MONITOR and MONITOR2 - only for /W option)

The driver generates an analog output signal (MONITOR) to monitor the actual valves coil current referred to AGND (pin C) for standard version or
to V0 (pin B) for /Q option; the monitor output signal can be software set to show other signals available in the driver (e.g. analog reference, fieldbus
reference).
The output maximum range is 5 VDC : default settings are 0 5 VDC for two position and pressure single solenoid valves and 5 VDC for double
solenoid valves and three position single solenoid valves (see valves tech. table).

Option /W
The driver generates a second analog output signal (MONITOR2) to monitor the actual system pressure referred to AGND (pin 5). The output maximum range is 5 VDC; default setting is 0 5 VDC
5.4

Logic power supply (VL+ and VL0 - for /Z and /W options)

Separate power supply for the solenoid (pin 1,2) and for the digital electronic circuits (pin 9,10).
Cutting solenoid power supply (pin 1,2) allows to interrupt the valve functioning but keeping energized the digital electronics thus avoiding fault conditions of the machine fieldbus controller. This condition allows to realize safety systems in compliance with European Norms EN13849-1 (ex
EN954-1).
A safety fuse is required in series to each driver power supply: 500 mA fast fuse.
Note: pin 2 and 10 (zero Volt) are connected together inside the electronics.

5.5

Enable Input Signal (ENABLE - for /Q, /Z and /W options)

To enable the driver, supply 24 VDC on pin 3 (pin C) referred to pin 2 (pin B): Enable input signal allows to enable/disable the current supply to the
solenoid, without removing the electrical power supply to the driver; it is used to active the communication and the other driver functions when the
valve must be disabled for safety reasons. This condition does not comply with European Norms EN13849-1 (ex EN954-1).

5.6

Fault Output Signal (FAULT - for /Z and /W options)

Fault output signal indicates fault conditions of the driver (solenoid short circuits/not connected, reference signal cable broken for 4 20 mA input, etc.).
Fault presence corresponds to 0 VDC, normal working corresponds to 24 VDC (pin 11 referred to pin 2).
Fault status is not affected by the Enable input signal.

5.7

Pressure Transducer Input signal (TR - only for /W options)

When hydraulic power limitation is active (for detailed function description see technical table G115), input signal TR must be connected to an external
pressure transducer installed on the hydraulic system. The inputs signals are software selectable as voltage or current (default 0 10 VDC). Voltage
selection: the maximum range of external pressure transducer signal is software selectable within 0 10 VDC. Current selection: the maximum range of
external pressure transducer signal is software selectable among 4 20 mA (default with cable break detection) or 0 20 mA.

MAIN SOFTWARE PARAMETER SETTINGS

For a brief description of the main settings and features of E-RI-AES-EH drivers, please refer to technical table G115.
For a detailed descriptions of available settings, wirings and installation procedures, please refer to the programming manual E-MAN-RI-AES included in the
E-SW-EH Dvd programming software (see section 7).

SOFTWARE TOOLS

The driver configuration and parameters can be easily set with the Atos E-SW-EH programming software (EtherCAT). The E-SW-EH software uses the serial
communication port to program the AES-EH integral driver. The double communications features allow to keep the driver connected to the central machine
unit via EtherCAT and modify the valve's parameterization through serial communication port by Atos software.
Programming software, must be ordered separately :
E-SW-EH
(mandatory - first supply) = Dvd including E-SW-EH software installer and operator manuals; it allows the registration to Atos digital service
E-SW-EH-N (optional - next supplies) = as above but not allowing the registration to Atos digital service
On first supply of the E-SW-EH software, it is required to apply for the registration in the Atos download area : www.download.atos.com .
Once the registration is completed, the password will be sent by email.
The software remains active for 10 days from the installation date and then it stops until the user inputs his password.
With the password you can also download, in your personal area, the latest releases of the Atos software, manuals, drivers and configuration files.
USB Adapters and Cables can be ordered separately (see section 8)

The Atos E-SW-EH programming software allows the driver configuration only through the serial communication port (RS232).
