PVED-CC4 Series 7 — Electro-Hydraulic Actuators
PVE Electrical Actuator
PVED-CC4 Series 7 Electro-hydraulic Actuator
The digital PVED-CC4 Series 7 will replace the existing Series 4 PVED-CC. The actuator is an electrohydraulic actuator used to control a single work section of a PVG proportional valve group.
The actuator positions the main spool in a PVG work section in order to control either the flow or thepressure of the oil distributed to/from the work function. The CAN bus communication protocols areaccording to ISObus/J1939, enabling the user to operate the work function remotely by means of ajoystick, a controller or similar.
The actuator positions the main spool by distributing pilot oil pressure to either side of it, pressurizing
one side by pilot pressure while relieving the opposite side to tank and vice versa, as illustrated below. All
proportional actuators feature a closed-loop spool control.

PVED-CC Cable kit
The cabling is one of the great advantages for CAN systems. It reduces the number of cables and gives asimpler system overview.
All units (ECU e.g. PVED) are connected by the CAN bus, a CAN high and a CAN low wire which areterminated at the ends. Power and ground wires can with respect to maximum current consumption
follow the bus wires.
The bus can either be made as a daisy chain, where the stub from bus to ECU is inside the PVED

Both solutions have advantages and disadvantages. Danfoss supports the daisy chain solution withcables but the PVED-CC4 could easily be used with this solution.

Technical Information
PVED-CC4 Series 7 — Electro-Hydraulic Actuators
PVED-CC4 Series 7 Functionality
The PVED-CC4 Series 7 is a proportional control actuator with closed-loop spool control primarily used tocontrol work functions with very high-performance requirements.
The PVED-CC4 Series 7 functionality includes an electric circuit with a closed-loop logic. An embedded
micro-controller processes the CAN set points and the LVDT feedback signal and regulates the solenoidvalves accordingly.

PVED-CC4 Series 7 Functionality

The heart of the hydraulic sub-system is the solenoid valve bridge. It consists of four poppet valves, thetwo upper ones are normally closed (NC-S) with a small bleed, the two lower ones are normally open(NO).
A continuous modulation of solenoid valves NC1 and NO4 together with a simultaneous energization ofNO2 and de-energization of NC3 causes the main spool to move to the right direction and vice versa.
When the main spool is stroked to the far right, a simultaneous energization of both NO2 and NO4 andde-energization of both NC1 and NC3 balances the main spool in its stroked position. An emergency stop
activated when the spool is stroked will cause all solenoid valves to de-energize causing the main spool
to move back to its neutral position by means of the main spool neutral spring and the hydraulicprinciple.
