SOFT SHIFT CONTROLLER - COIL MOUNT






Function:

The Soft Shift Controller introduces a current ramp permitting the soft start of proportional solenoid valves used for pressure or flow control in hydraulic circuits. When the unit is powered on, it ramps to full current output over the ramp on time period that is adjustable within a factory set range. When the power is switched off, output of the unit falls immediately to zero. It is available in an IP65 rated DIN 43650 coil mount version.

Features:

  • Cost effective alternative for soft start of proportional hydraulic circuits
  • Broad range of supply voltages (9 to 32 VDC)
  • Modern technology utilizing high frequency switching output (PWM)
  • Current output is 650 mA or 2 A (adjustable)
  • Current sensing circuit maintains output regardless of changes in input voltage or coil resistance
  • Ramp on time (adjustable)
  • Rugged construction to withstand harsh environments
  • IP65 protection class

Electrical Specifications:

Operating voltage

9 to 32 VDC nominal power supply range

Output current range (adjustable)

0.6 to 2.0 A (2A version)
200 to 650 mA (650 mA version)

Solenoid resistance

Rcoil < (Vpower supply - 1.5V)/Ioutput

Ramp on time

Increasing - 0.01 to 5 seconds or 5 to 10 seconds
or customer specified range

Dither amplitude

10 % of maximum rated current (fixed)

Dither frequency

250 Hz (fixed) +/- 10%

* Note 1: Match power supply voltage with rating of solenoid coil. Operating the controller with a supply voltage lower than the solenoid rated voltage may result in reduced current output. The current output of the controller should not exceed the current rating of the solenoid coil.
Note 2: The coil should have no polarity or protection diodes for proper operation of the device.

Adjustments:

trim pot locations

Use a small screwdriver to loosen the mounting screw and remove the transparent lid. The single turn trim pots are adjusted with a Phillips #0 sized screwdriver.

Mounting:

1. Ensure the lid, compression washer, o-ring and base gasket are correctly in place (necessary for IP65 protection).
2. Ensure that no damage or injury can occur on the machine when the valve is operated.
3. Attach the soft shift controller to the load and tighten the mounting screw.
4. Connect the cable to the power supply (red is power +, black is power -).
5. Switch on the power supply to the soft shift controller.
6. Adjust the current output and ramp on time to suit the application.
