Amplifier module for valve type DRE 4 K:
Amplifier with control characteristic curve 1 (see page 4) = 032
Amplifier with control characteristic curve 2 (see page 4) = 165
Function
The amplifier modules are to be snapped onto top hat rail that
are usually installed in control cabinets. The electrical connec-
tion is made via a terminal strip.
The amplifier modules include the electronics for controlling
two proportional solenoids. Depending on the command value
polarity, solenoid A or B is controlled. When valve “A” is cont-
rolled, LED “A” lights up and the status output for valve “A” is
activated; when valve “B” is controlled, LED “B” lights up and
the status output for valve “B” is activated.
The solenoid current is measured and compared with the com-
mand value provided externally. Any differences between the
actual and the command value, caused e.g. by changes in the
solenoid temperature or supply voltage, are corrected.
Output stage “A” or output stage “B” can be enabled or disab-
led via enable input “A” (UEA) or “B” (UEB).

(11 to 19: unchanged technical data and
pin assignment)
The two amplifier types differ from each other in the effect of
the command value attenuator. With type VT 11032 the attenu-
ation of the preselected command value increases with a rising
input voltage Ui2. With type VT 11165 the attenuation of the
preselected command value falls with an increasing input volta-
ge Ui2 (see control characteristic curve of the command value
attenuator, page 4).
The ramp time can be influenced by the intensity of the ramp
time control voltage Ui3 (see control characteristic curve of the
ramp time, page 4).
The following settings can be made for each solenoid separa-
tely from outside using a trimming potentiometer:
– Maximum current
– Jump height of the output current at a command
value of 10 %
– Nominal time for up and down ramp up to approx. 8 s

Note!
The control voltage of the ramp time (Ui3) is effectiv for all ramp times. The command value attenuator has an influence on the
command value of both. The diagrams only show a general trend of the effect of the individual control voltages, since their effect
also depends on the setting of command value potentiometers R1 to R4 and ramp time poteniometers R 11 R 14.

section max. 1.5 mm2

– Signals Ui1, Ui2, Ui3

→ Multi-wire cable, single shield

Engineering / maintenance notes / supplementary information

– The amplifier may only be wired when disconnected from the power supply!
– Do not lay cables near power cables!
– Do not use free-wheeling diodes in solenoid cables!
– The distance to aerial lines, radio sources and radar equipment must be at least 1 m!
– In the case of a strongly fluctuating operating voltage, it may become necessary to use an external
smoothing capacitor with a capacitance of 2200 µF!
Recommendation: Capacitor module type VT 11073 (see RE 29750); sufficient for up to 3 amplifier modules
Note! • When the differential input is used (command value as voltage signal)
both inputs must always be activated or deactivated simultaneously!
• When installing these amplifier modules, ensure a minimum distance of 2 cm to both sides,
if the ambient temperature can exceed 50 °C!
Note! Electrical signals (e.g. status signal) brought out via control electronics must nut be used
for switching safety-relevant machine functions!

components - hydraulics”, prEN 982.)
