GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
3. If welding repairs are needed, always have a trained, experienced welder carry out the
work. When carrying out welding work, always wear welding gloves, apron, glasses, cap
and other clothes suited for welding work.
4. When carrying out any operation with two or more workers, always agree on the
operating procedure before starting. Always inform your fellow workers before starting
any step of the operation. Before starting work, hang UNDER REPAIR signs on the
controls in the operator's compartment.
5. Keep all tools in good condition and learn the correct way to use them.
6. Decide a place in the repair workshop to keep tools and removed parts. Always keep the
tools and parts in their correct places. Always keep the work area clean and make sure
that there is no dirt or oil on the floor. Smoke only in the areas provided for smoking.
Never smoke while working.

PREPARATIONS FOR WORK
7. Before adding oil or making repairs, park the machine on hard, level ground, and block
the wheels or tracks to prevent the machine from moving.
8. Before starting work, lower bucket, hammer or any other work equipment to the ground.
If this is not possible, insert the safety pin or use blocks to prevent the work equipment
from falling. In addition, be sure to lock all the control levers and hang warning signs on
them.
9. When disassembling or assembling, support the machine with blocks, jacks or stands
before starting work.
10. Remove all mud and oil from the steps or other places used to get on and off the machine.
Always use the handrails, ladders or steps when getting on or off the machine. Never
jump on or off the machine. If it is impossible to use the handrails, ladders or steps, use a
stand to provide safe footing.

PRECAUTIONS DURING WORK
11. When removing the oil filler cap, drain plug or hydraulic pressure measuring plugs,
loosen them slowly to prevent the oil from spurting out.
Before disconnecting or removing components of the oil, water or air circuits, first
remove the pressure completely from the circuit.
12. The water and oil in the circuits are hot when the engine is stopped, so be careful not to
get burned.
Wait for the oil and water to cool before carrying out work on the oil or water circuits.

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.

FOREWORD HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
00-5
HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
HOISTING

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

If a part cannot be smoothly remove d from the machine by hoisting,
the following checks should be made:
1. Check for removal of all bolts fast ening 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]
1,0 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.

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, w hich 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.

FOREWORD CONVERSION TABLE
00-8
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.

2.1 Engine and PTO mounts
General
The flexible bearings are installed to take the vibrations and the torsion forces
and they carry the total weight of the engine, the pump distributor gear with
all hydraulic pumps.

Check mounting and security of Diesel engine and pump distributor gear,
illustration (Z 21601)

Check all flexible bearings (1) for engine and pump distributor gear.
Check the flexible bearings for damage and signs of fatigue. Make sure that there
is no contact between the upper and lower metal brackets of the flexible bearings
(1). Replace the bearings if necessary. Use new bolts and self locking nuts (2).
After new flexible bearings have been installed, check distance (B) on both torque
supports.

All flexible bearings (1) and all rubber-bounded metal bars (4) should
be replaced during engine overhaul.
Check distance (B) between torque support and stop bolt (8).
With setting of the flexible engine bearings (1) the distance (B) increases and
must be readjusted. To do this, loosen lock nut (9) and tighten stop bolt (8) until
the correct distance (B) is obtained. Tighten lock nut (9) and recheck distance (B).
If new flexible engine bearings (1) have been installed, replace also cup springs
(7) and adjust distance (B) to 29 mm.

Check tie bolts (3) on front and rear carrier units for looseness.
(four tie bolts)
Check to make sure that the self locking retainer nuts (5) are tight and that there is
no gap between nut and rubber-bounded metal bar (4). If necessary retighten
retainer nuts (5) snugly.
Check rubber-bounded metal bars (4) for signs of fatigue and damage.
Replace as necessary.

Check all bolt connections for correct tightening torque.
Check condition of engine carrier and brackets. If any damages, failures
or wrong condition are found, corrective action must be taken.

Task:
The coupling is the connecting link between the engine and the PTO

Function: "GEISLINGER COUPLING"
The combination of the high elasticity of its leaf springs with complimentary
viscous damping by oil displacement, ensures that the coupling reduces the
intensity of torsional vibrations effectively.
The widest engine speed range free of vibration periods and dangerous
resonances is thus obtained.
The springs (3) together with the inner driving and outer driven member form
chambers A and B which are filled with oil.
If the outer member is displaced in relation to the inner member, the
deflection of the leaf springs displaces oil from one chamber to the next, by
this action the relative movements of the two members of the coupling are
braked and the vibrations are dampened.
The spacers (8) limits the movement of the leaf springs.

With de-energized solenoids the fan turn with max. speed.
With activated solenoid (Y14A-1 / Y14A2) the fan is running with a very low speed,
caused by the flow resistance only.
With activated solenoid (Y14B-1 / Y14B2) the fan is running with middle setted

Basic Adjustment max fan speed
1. Reduce the output flow of the respective pump (P),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.
2. Remove protection cap (1) from relief valve (168.x), loosen lock nut (2)
and turn set screw (3) fully clockwise and then a half turn counter
clockwise.
3. Disconnect the plug connectors (Y14A-x and Y14B-x) of the 4/3
direction flow valve, to ensure that the full flow of pump P will be
delivered to the fan motor. The valve is in neutral position and all ports
are blocked.
4. Connect a pressure gauge to check point (M19-x).
5. Start the engine and let it run with max. speed.
6. Check the fan speed with a non-contact rev counter
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 P ,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.
Tighten the lock nuts (6.1 +7.1).

Description
The pump distribution gear (PTO gear) is a spur gear design and driven by an
diesel engine.
The PTO gear runs in anti friction 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 a 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.

(2) Oil collector reservoir for auxiliary pump drive shaft housing
(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 seal ring 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.

(B27-1)(B27-2) Maintenance switch, 5 bar
(B49-1) Temperature sensor

Function:
Pump (8.1)/(8.4) forces the gear oil from the gear oil pan through filter
(69.1)/(69.2)) to pressure relief valve (74.1/74.2). This pressure relief valve acts
as a back pressure valve causing that most of the oil passes through the gear oil
coolers (105.3+105.4)/(105.1+105.2).
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) (B49-2). At too
high oil temperature a fault message will be displayed on the monitor at the dash
board.
If the oil temperature is to low, solenoid valve (Y53-1) (Y53-2) energized and
opened port X of the pressure relive valve (74.1) (74.2). This reduced the relieve
valve pressure setting. The main gear oil flow direct back to the PTO to quick
warm up of the gear oil.

Task:
The strainer is installed to prevent the hydraulic oil coolers from getting

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.

3.4 Back pressure valve
(1) Back pressure valve assembly
(2) Solenoid valve (Y101)

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

Further information about the function principle and adjustments,
refer to Section 4.0 this Manual.

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 sections with 4 filters for the return oil
and one for the leak oil. But the five filters are all 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.
Because the filter is oversized for this purpose, the message Leak
oil filter restricted is displayed very seldom under normal
circumstances.

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.

(Y101) Solenoid valve 4/2-directional control valve
(H) Lines to cooler (hot oil)
(C) Lines to tank (cold oil)

Function:
The returning oil from the system flows via the lines (L6 - L7) into the
collector tube (114). On the top of it is the Back Pressure Valve(115)
installed.
The back pressure valve (115) causes a back pressure which forces most of
the relative hot oil through the lines (H) to the cooler (106.1-106.4).
On its flow through the cooler the hydraulic oil gets cooled and flows than
through the restrictors (107.1-107.4) 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 Q
max
) the back pressure valve (115) is wide
open, because solenoid valve Y101 is energized, which results in less oil
flows through the cooler which causes that the oil gets quicker its optimum
With increasing oil temperature the oil gets thinner, so that the main pumps
can be shifted to Q
max
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 (10.x) flows the oil through the filter (68.x) to the fan motor (22.x) and
then back to the tank.
The check valve (103.x) 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
interrupted by solenoid valve (Y6A-x/Y6B-x) or if the engine has been switched off.
The hydraulic circuit "Fan drive" is secured by the pilot controlled pressure relief
valves (168.x) and (169.x).
These valves are working together with the solenoid valve (Y6A-x/Y6B-x),
controlled by the PLC, depending on the hydraulic oil temperature:
With de-energized solenoids Y6A-x and Y6B-x the relief valve (168.x) is
functioning and the fans are running with max. adjusted speed (1300 RPM)
With solenoid Y6A-x energized the relief valve (168.x) 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 (169.x) is controlling the relief
valve (168.x) 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 changed (Remote controlled) by means of the
port "X" and the function of the solenoid valve Y6A-x / Y6B-x and pressure

4.5 Pressure relief valves and solenoid valve, illustration (Z 21599c)

Function:
With de-energized solenoids (Y6A-x and Y6B-x), the spool (3) of the 4/3
direction flow valve 148.x keeps the "X" connection of valve (168.x) and port
B to port P closed. The pressure relief valve (168.x) operates normal with
the max. adjusted pressure. The fan turn with maximum speed.

The energized solenoid Y6B, operate the spool (3) of the 4/3 direction flow
valve 148.x and a connection is made between port P , port B and port "X"
of valve (168.x)
The system pressure now opens main piston (7) of valve (168.x), because via
solenoid Y6B (P to B) the oil from the rear side of piston (7) flows from the
"X"-port to the P port of valve (169.x). This valve (169.x) reduce now the
max. adjusted pressure of valve (168.x) to a lower value. The fan turn with
reduced speed.
The energized solenoid Y6A, operate the spool (3) of the 4/3 direction flow
valve (148.x) and a connection is made between port P and port A and port
"X" of relief valve (168.x).
The system pressure now opens the main piston (7) of valve (168.x) because
via the "X"-port the oil from the rear side of piston (7) flows to tank. The
normal relief valve function is eliminated. The fan turn with minimum speed,
nearly stand still.

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!

delivered to the fan motor. The valve is in neutral position and all
ports are blocked.
4. Connect a pressure gauge to check point (M5-x).
5. Start the respective engine and let it run in high idle.
6. Check the fan speed with a non-contact rev counter
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 P ,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.
Tighten the lock nuts (6.1 +7.1).

General
The controlling includes the pilot pressure system and the pump regulation
system.
The pumps (7.1 / 7.2) forcing the oil through the filter (68.1) 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 engine was shut down or to
pressure relive 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.

If readjustment is required *:
* Valve adjustment:
a Remove dust cap (1).
b. Loosen lock nut (2).
c. Set pressure with set screw (3).
d. Tighten lock nut (2) and re-fit dust cap (1).

Checking of Accumulator Function
1. Connect pressure gauge to check point (M40).
2. Start one engine and let it run with maximum speed.
3. After build-up of pressure stop the engine, 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.

(12) Control lever

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 engines 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.

(7) Directional solenoid valve
(8) Control block spool

General Function
Control lever (1) is supplied with 24 V
DC
battery voltage for the switch contacts
and for the internal electronics to create the signal voltage.
When moving lever (1) out of its neutral position, 24 V
DC
battery voltage arrives
at relay (5) and energizes the Proportional Amplifier (4) with capacitor
supported 24 V
DC
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 X-
axis (left/right direction.)
The polarity of the Output Signal from joystick (1), either positive or negative,
between 0 and 10 V
DC
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 V
DC
) 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 35 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.

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 (J oy 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 engine start.
The inductive system is designed as a redundant system with two separate
coils.

The Potentiometer Control (inductive linear transmitter) contains both the

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.

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.

Time

The amplifier module is snapped onto mounting rails inside the X2-box.
The amplifier module contains the necessary electronics for the control of
two proportional solenoids and two directional solenoids. The 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.
LEDs 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 80 ms 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 V
DC
. 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.

Procedure applicable for all amplifiers except the one for the swing
brake:
(Do not start the engines 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

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 electric circuit diagram (see page adjustments of amplifier and
time ramp modul) e.g. 330 mA. (The first step (10 %) value)
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (10%).
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. 570 mA. (The second step (90 %) value).
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (J2).

* 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.

10. Repeat settings of item 8 and 9 until both mA values are stabilized, because
the 10% and J 2 adjustment influence each other.
11. If the setting with either positive or negative potential was successful, turn
the potentiometer (P) of the service module into the opposite direction and
check the settings with the other polarity i.e. if the first setting was done with
positive potential then turn the pot into negative direction; otherwise ice
versa.
Attantion! The adjustment values can be different betwin the directions (poitiv A
or negative B) and the single amplifier. Use the respective electric diagram of

12. Repeat the setting as described under item 7 to 10.
13. Remove multimeter, test wire, close* the terminals and reconnect the wire to
terminal 5 of the amplifier module.

Adjusting the Ramp Time
In the amplifier module is a ramp time function integrated which is active
when there is no additional ramp time module in the respective control
circuit.
1. Turn potentiometer (time) 30 revolutions counter clockwise to guarantee the
correct start position at the complete left side.
2. Turn potentiometer (time) so many revolutions clockwise as shown in the
table below (part of the electrical circuit diagram).

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.

9. Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module further until the
multimeter shows 10 VDC; the multimeter for the current reading will show
a value which should correspond to the value giving in the circuit diagram
e.g. 500 mA. (100 % value).
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R2).

It is important that the pilot pressure for the pressure increasing valve
is 19 1 bar.
For more information refer to section 8.2 Swing Circuit

10. Repeat settings of item 8 and 9 until both mA values are stabilized, because
R1 and R2 influence each other.
11. Remove multimeter, test wire, close* the terminals and reconnect the wire
to terminal 5 of the amplifier module.

5.13 Adjusting the Ramp Time Module
(6) Service module
(P) Potentiometer

The following adjustments have to be done when commissioning the
machine and whenever the Ramp Time Module has been replaced.
Do not start the engines turn only the key switch in ON position.

Basic Adjustment:
1. Connect 0 VDC 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 Z" a value of 0 VDC measured at terminal 7.
Disconnect the test lead after the setting is done.
2. Connect +10 VDC 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.

Function:
Setting of the maximum permissible cylinder speed (flow B to A) is carried
out by spindle (1). Depending on the spindle setting, the radial holes (9.1) in
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.

pressure of the supply line S forces onto the valve cone.
The valve cone opens, whenever the pressure at the A and B side is lower
than the back pressure at return oil port S, to allow necessary oil supply into
the circuit.

6.1.7 Remote control valves

Remote control valves are part of the electric-hydraulic control system

(1) Pilot pressure supply port (marked with P)
(2) Pilot pressure return port to tank (marked with L)
(3) Pilot pressure output lines to the control block
(marked with A1/B1, A2/B2, . . . . )
(4) Directional solenoid valve, 3 position / 4 ports
(5) Proportional solenoid valve, (0 700 mA, 0 35 bar).

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 (5) and one
of the directional solenoid valves (3 either Ax or Bx) 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.

the start, stop and direction of an oil flow.

(1) Housing
(2) Solenoids
(3) Control spool
(4) Reset springs
(5) Plunger
(6) End cover

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).

6.1.9 Proportional Solenoid Valve

This valves are responsible for the creation of a variable control
pressure proportional to the electrical signal output of an amplifier.
(1) Proportional solenoid (5) Pressure measuring spool
(2) Control piston (6) Connection plug
(3) Valve housing (7) Return spring
(4) Pressure measuring spool (8) Bleed screw

Function:
In un-operated 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.

W
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.

Function:
High-pressure in-line filters prevent contamination from entering the
hydraulic circuits. The high pressure filters are installed between the main
hydraulic pumps and main control blocks. All hydraulic components, 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.

Control blocks with "Open Center and Closed Ports".
Control blocks I, II and III are 4 spool blocks and IV is a 1 spool block.
See hydraulic circuit diagram for spool details.
Each spool is provided with "Fine Controlling Grooves" and ring grooves for
hydraulically centering of the spool.
Between 8 and 19 bar pilot pressure the spools are moved in their fine control
range.
Spool number 4 of block I, 2 of block II and 4 of block III are special designed,
to keep the pressure channel connected to the center channel during the floating
function is activated, so that pump flow is available for other functions. This
spools are marked in the hydraulic diagram with (#) symbol.
The Load Holding Valves are installed inside of the spool, for each port to the
cylinder or motor one valve. The hydraulic diagram shows only one.
The MRV is a pilot operated pressure relief valve.
Control block I, II and III are equipped with a spool spin look system (item 14,
15, 16) to prevent spool spinning because of high oil flow during lowering
function.

(1) Main relief valve (MRV)Control block housing
(2) Load holding valve
(3) Anti cavitation valve (ACV)
(4) 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) 4 valve block
E.g. the spools moves up when pilot pressure is build up in the control pipe
line a1. (Imagine the lower symbol box moves to the center position.)
Now pump oil flows through holding 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.

E.g. the spool (4) moves up when pilot pressure is build up in the control pipe
A4. Now the user port A4 is connected to the pump pressure line and the free
circulation to the tank. There is no high pressure build up only 8 bar from the
back pressure valve and line resistance. Via port B4 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 holding valve (2) which secures
the hydraulic pump from extreme pressure peaks.

The holding 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.

(1) Spool
(2) Reset springs

Function:
Reset springs (2) moves the spool (1) in neutral position.

Fine control grooves 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 (1) is inter connecting the entire groove to the
user channel.

In neutral position of spool (1) the pump oil is flowing back via port PU to the
tank.

Lower picture:
Example. The spool is moved by pilot pressure on the left spool side to right
position: Port PU is closed and the connection through the holding valve (3)
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).

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.

6.1.12 Load Holding Valve

(1) Spool
(2) Reset springs

Control Blocks I to IV (4 spool blocks and single spool block)
Two load holding valves are fitted into each spool of the control blocks, one
valve for each port (A and B).

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 and allows the oil to flow from the
pump through the spool centre to the port.
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)

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
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).
Holding 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.
For more information and adjustment see section 8.3.

6.1.14 Pressure Reducing Valve

Pressure reducing valves are installed to reduce the common 35 bar
pilot pressure to a lower pressure for other systems, e.g. the pump
regulation system.

(1) Set screw
(2) Spool
(3) Compression spring
(4) Threaded sleeve
(5) Non return valve
(6) Boring
(7) Spring chamber
(8) Control land

Function:
Pressure reducing valves type DR & DP are direct operated valves of 3 way
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.

6.1.15 Directional Solenoid Valves (2 positions / 4-ways)

This solenoid operated directional spool valves are installed to control
the start, stop or direction of an oil flow.

(1) Housing
(2) Solenoid
(3) Control spool
(4) Return spring
(5) Plunger
(6) 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 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.

(1) Pilot valve with valve seat
(2) Valve poppet
(4) Main valve with sleeve
(5) Main piston
(6) Closing spring
(7+8) Set screws
(9) Piston
(10) Pin
(11+12) J et bore
(13+14) Lock nut

Function:
The valve poppet (2) is connected via the jet bores (11) and (12) with the
pressure port (P).
If static pressure increase above the set pressure value, the valve poppet (2)
opens and allows oil to flow freely via port (T1) to tank. This out flowing oil
generates a pressure drop in the spring chamber of the main spool (5). The
closing force of the spring (6) is now lower as the oil pressure from the
pressure port (P) and the main piston (5) opens to release pressurized oil to the
tank via port (T2).
Damped opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change.
By applying external pressure of Pst max =35 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 maximal possible pressure (P) adjustment is 440 bar with max. control
pressure at port X.
The lower setting is fixed by means of the setting screw (7) and lock nut (13);
1 turn of setting screw reduce or increase the pressure about ~150 bar.

Pump regulation system
General
Controlled output flow of the main pumps is necessary:
To utilize the available engine power most efficiently in every operating
mode.
To limit the power consumption of the hydraulic pumps depending of the load
of the engine. (Electronic pump regulation with micro-controller MC7)
For additional functions, such as swing dependent or temperature-
dependent flow control.

Function:
X1 pump regulation pressure (0 25 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 (35 bar):
Constant pilot pressure to regulate the main pumps at special circumstances,
e.g. to fix pump 3 in Q-max position activated by the swing control (pump for
swinging controlled by Y48) .

X3 remote control pressure (0 / 16 / 35 bar):
Basic setting Q-min (0 bar), the flow rate increases with the
pilot pressure X3 at port Pst, up to Q-max (35 bar).
The hyperbolic power control is superimposed on the pilot pressure
signal and keeps the specified drive power constant. (px Vg = constant).
The flow rates are:
Q-min.: X3 = 0 bar
Q-max.: X3 = 16 bar
Q-max.: X3 = 35 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.

When are the pumps in Q-min position?
A: Engine at standstill
B: Engine running and the controls are not used for 20 sec. or longer
at normal operating temperature
C: Engine running and service switch S150 activated

Example C with the following conditions:
Engine running (high idle)
Pump pressure smaller than X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure)
X1 = 24 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 (S150 activated)
for pumps (1, 2,4, 5 and 6).
Pump #3 is not connected in the regulation circuit its port XLR is
permanent charged with X2-pressure
X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure)
Pump support pressure is present at valve (6), the slipper pad of
piston (13) and the small area side of the positioning piston (12).

Response of pump control mechanism:
Valve (6) moves to position "b" because the X4-pressure will overcome the
spring force, since the oil behind nozzle (7) flows through valve (5) (which is
in position "a", due to the missing remote control pressure X3) back to tank.

Pump support pressure X4 passes valve (6) position "b" and flows via power
control valve (8) position "a" to the large area side of positioning piston (12).
Because the large area side of positioning piston (12) 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

X4-pressure, since the oil flow back to tank is blocked at valve (5) (which is
in position "b", due to the 35 bar remote control pressure X3).

The operating pressure (with the value for start of de-stroking) at the slipper
pad of piston (13) moves the power control valve (8) 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 (12).

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 (12) are
balanced

7.2.1 Electronic load limiting control - general, illustration (Z 22448)

The drive train of the excavator consists of two diesel engine, 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
diesel engine.
Illustration Z22448 shows the principle of the electronic load limiting control.
The MC7 (E32) processes the following input signals:
Diesel engine speed (Pin 52, 53 and 54) from magnetic pick-up (B64-1
and B64-2), adjustment see at the end of this section.
Switch signal (Pin 35) from engine control (3E14-1), 24V if n > 300 min
-1

The MC7 (E32) processes the following output signals:
Signal value to control the proportional solenoid valve Y61-1 (Pin 28)
and Y61-2 (Pin 30).
Switch signals (Pin 32 and 33), diagnostic of the MC7 (E32-1)

The diesel engine drives three variable displacement pumps by means of a
PTO-gearbox.
Each pump is equipped with a hydraulic power controller (HPC).
This controller limits the input torque of the pump to an adjusted command
value (X1-pressure, for start of de-stroking).
The command value (X1-pressure) is present via proportional solenoid valve
Y61-1 and Y61-2 at the hydraulic power controllers of each pump.
The actual speed of the engine is measured with a speed sensor at the flywheel.

The auxiliary hydraulic pumps and other consumers can be operated
without being directly affected by the load limiting control.
The control algorithm of the load limiting control always compares the actual
engine speed with the rated load speed.
With increasing load the engine torque will rise and the engine speed will
drop.
For this reason the electronic load limiting control will be initiated when the
load speed falls below 1800 min
-1
, i.e. the torque of the main pumps will be
lowered (by reducing the X1-pressure) until the rated speed of 1800 min
-1
is
attained again.

7.2.2 Micro controller MC7, illustration (Z 21716)
The MC7 micro controller 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 over voltage 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.

7.2.3 Checks and adjustments Micro controller MC7,
illustration (Z 21717a)

Method A - X1-pressure with 24V supply to separating terminals at the X2-
switch board
Pre-conditions: Normal operating temperature, correct pilot pressure setting
and the system must be free of air.

1. Make sure the change over valves is in position Electronic Pump Regulation
2. Connect a pressure gauge to the respective check point (M20-1 or M20-2), 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 127 and 128 for 10 seconds, using two
test leads and disconnect the voltage thereafter.
4. Selection of the required proportional solenoid valve:
With the main key switch still in on position, select the applying terminal (X2-
board) for proportional solenoid valve Y61-1 (engine1) or Y61-2 (engine2) as
follows:
Y 61-1 No connections at selecting terminals required.
Y 61-2 Connect 24V, to terminal 126, using one test lead.
5. Adjusting the X1-pressure:
Start the engine, let it run with maximum speed.
Read the pressure, required = 24 0,5 bar
If necessary increase the X1-pressure as follows:
Connect 24V temporarily to terminal 127.

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 1 bar.

6. To decrease the X1-pressure connect 24V to terminal 128 and proceed as
described under item 5, keeping voltage supply for two seconds , will
decrease the X1-pressure of approximately 1 bar.
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.

7.3.1. General
The pilot pressure pump (7.1 and 7.2) delivers the oil through the pressure
filter (68.1) to port A of the pressure relief valve (70.1) for limiting the pilot
pressure (X2). The 35 bar limited pilot pressure oil flows through the solenoid
manifold to the pressure reducing valve (81.2), which reduces the X2 pressure
to the necessary constant X1 pressure, to prevent the engine 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

Legend for illustration (Z 22360a)
1. Speed sensor (pick up)
2. Fly wheel housing
3. Fly wheel
4. Look nut
5. RPM-module (RPM-relay)
General:
The engine speed sensor (pick up) together with the RPM-Module use the fly
wheel teeth to count the engine RPM. With engine running create each tooth
a inductive tension in the pick up coil. That cause a alternative tension at the
pick up coil wire. With engine stand still there is no tension at the pick up
wire. The frequency of this alternative tension increase or decrease
proportional to the engine RPM. The RPM-module convert the frequency in
to a proportional voltage signal. This signal is used for different components
e.g. pump regulation, display, ECS.

7.5.1. Engine speed sensor (pick up) adjustment
1. Stop engine.
2. Disconnect plug at the pick-up wire.
3. Loosen look nut
4. Turn out the pick-up completely ccw.
5. Check front end of the pick up and clean it from magnetic chips and dirt.
6. Turn the pick-up completely in ( cw ) until it touch the fly wheel Fig. A.
7. Turn the pick-up turn out ( ccw ) Fig. B.
8. Secure the pick up with look nut Fig. C.
9. Connect the plug.
Final Check
10. Start engine and let them run in high idle
11. Check the tension (AC Voltage) of the pick-up. Use the terminals 1
and 2 of the RPM-module (RPM-relay) or respective terminals at the
X2 panel.
E.g.: Pick up B64-1 is connected to terminal X2M 7 and X2M 8 and
further to RPM-module (RPM-relay) K55-1 terminal 1 and 2.
(excavator S/N 15017).
12. The tension should be 1+ 0,5 Volt AC

Avoid pick-up contact with the fly wheel while engine running..
The inductive AC voltage must be measured with connected pick up to
the RPM-module (RPM-relay).

(7) High pressure filters
(8) Main control blocks
(10) Attachment cylinders
(11) Swing motors
(12) Rotary joint

General information
The control blocks, the piping to the distributor manifold and the connecting
hoses to the attachment are in some points 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:
F
Study together with the circuit diagram.
The following numbering refers to the hydraulic circuit diagram.
Each main pump (1 to 6) delivers oil trough the high pressure filter (44.1,
44.2, 46.1 and 46.2) to port P of the main control blocks (FSA 14, 15, 16
and 13) (BHA - 175, 15,176 and 13). The single valve block IV (13) is in line
to valve block II (15) connected.
This results in three main circuits.
If all spools of the control blocks (1 to 6) are in neutral position, the oil leaves
the block at port T and returns via return oil pipes, return oil collector
manifold (35), return oil pipes (L6 and L7), return oil collector tube (114),
back pressure valve (115) and the return oil filters (117.1-117.4) into the tank
(41).
The function of back pressure valve (115) ensures:
- sufficient oil supply for all anti-cavitation 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:
8.0.1 Floating function of boom and stick cylinders FSA:
illustration (Z 22568):
The Excavator (only front shovel attachment) 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:
There are different main valve spools in the three main valve blocks (14, 15 and
16) for boom and stick installed. Only by lowering of the boom or retracting of the
stick is the floating function active if the button on the lever is not pushed. The
piston and rod side of the respective cylinders are in floating position direct
connect to the return line (tank). The pressure free pump circulation is still active
there is no pump pressure to the respective cylinders. By external force the
cylinder can move up or down with negligible hydraulically resistance.
In floating position of the boom only valve spool 4 of main valve block I and 2 of
block III active.
In floating position of the stick only valve spool 2 of Main valve block I and 4 of
block III active.
To push down the boom or retract the stick by hydraulically force the respective
button on the lever must by activated.
S98 for the Stick cylinders
S95 for the Boom cylinders
In normal operation mode (i.e. float position) the piston side, the rod side and the
tank are connected together when lowering the boom or retracting the stick.
If a pressurised lowering of the boom or retracting of the stick cylinders is
required the connection of piston side, rod side and tank must be disconnected and
the rod side must be connected to the pump pressure. This is done by
disconnecting the respective special floating valve spool and activating the
respective standard valve spool. Now pressurised pump oil can flow to the
cylinder rod side.

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 M12.1 - M12.4.
2. Start both motors.
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

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.

When using the single function bucket fill, (gray shadow), all MRV
can be adjusted, because all four pump circuits are engaged.
Adjusting:
1. Remove protective cap (a).
2. Loosen lock nut (b).
3. Turn set screw (c) -clockwise to increase pressure, Counter-clock
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.

8.1.11 Checks and adjustments of the Service Line Relief Valves (SRV),
Boom cylinder piston side FSA + BHA
There are three service line relief valves (secondary valves) installed, all three
at the distributor manifold, 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.

1. Connect gauges to all above listed check points (min. 400 bar).
3. Extend the boom cylinder to the stop position until the hydraulic
system stalls.
4. Increase slowly the pump supply line pressure, by turning in set screws (3)
of the MRVs in control block I, II, III 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.

5. Remove protective cap (1) of MRV.
6. Loosen lock nut (2).
7. Turn set screw (3) of the MRVs turn further in, the gauge
pointers will remain at the value shown at item #4 (350 bar

10. Reduce the pressure, at SRV- 141.1 to a value below the required value,
and then increase up to the required pressure (350 bar), while
observing all gauges.

Now all gauges will show the same value of 350 bar,
but only SRV-143.1 has the correct setting.
11. Proceed with the other valves in the same manner in the following
sequence:

There is one service line relief valve (secondary valve) installed at the distributor
manifold section E, to limit the maximum possible pressure peaks in the service line.
Since the opening pressure of the SRV 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.

Clam cylinder Piston side (clam closing) FSA
There are three service line relief valves (secondary valves) installed, two at
distributor manifold section K and one at main control block II section 1, to
limit the maximum possible pressure in the service line when closing the
bucket.
To avoid damages at the clam shell, due to wrong operation, the SRVs
should be adjusted in a way that the pressure is just sufficient to close the
clam with horizontal back wall.

Adjust the SRVs as follows:
Turn set screw (3) -clockwise to increase pressure,
Counter-clock wise to decrease pressure while
depressed pedal clam closing.
Adjust all three SRVs equally, until the gauges show a pressure of 220 bar.
Now reduce the pressure at one SRV in steps of 5 bar until the bucket opens
by gravity (check with released pedal).
Now read the pressure and adjust 10% plus the reading to compensate the
weight of material stuck at the clam shell.

Since the piston side of the clam cylinders are protected by several
lowest setting.
Because of different wear packages the pressure can be between 150
bar and more as 200 bar.

8.1.12 Checks and adjustments of the lowering speed,
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
theflow restrictors (throttle valves) at the distributor manifold section B,
throttle valve 141.1 and section N, throttle valve 141.3.

II. Float position deactivated the lowering speed has to be adjusted by
altering theflow restrictor (throttle valve) at thedistributor manifold
section N, throttle valve 141.2.

On excavators equipped with Backhoe Attachment (BHA) the lowering speed has
to be adjusted at all flow restrictors on distributor manifold section B and N,
throttle valves 141.1, 141.2 and 141.3.

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 engines
and allow pressure equalizing by moving the lever several times.
Loosen the lock nut (1) and turn the bolt (2) cw for more restriction and ccw
for less restriction. 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.

Boom cylinder FSA
Due to the two different operation modes for lowering the boom, the lowering
speed must be adjusted twice:
I. Float position activated
II. Float position deactivated
Maximum permissible lowering speed for both operation modes:

Cylinder retracting time/meter (s /m) Total time(s)
Boom FSA 1,4 4,3

Adjustments / Checks:

I. Float position activated:
1. Use a stop watch to measure the cylinder running time.
2. Raise the fully extended attachment with empty bucket to the maximum
height position (A).
3. Shift both engines 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 throttle valves
141.1 (section B) and 141.3 (section N, pointing to the attachment).
Adjust as follows:
To decrease the lowering speed loosen lock nut (1) and turn the bolt (2) cw.
To increase the lowering speed loosen lock nut (1) and turn the bolt (2) ccw.
Since there are several valves throttling the return oil flow the valves
must be set synchronously. The adjusting screws have to be turned in
by the same amount of revolutions.

O.K.

6. Check lowering speed again and repeat the adjustment if necessary.
7. If the adjustment is finished tighten lock nut (1).

General:
For harmonic attachment motion and well working floating function the valve
spools must be activated with different priorities. The whole valve control logic is
a arrangement of electric relay controlling and the main hydraulic control valve
sequence.
The correct function of the valve control logic can be checked by pressure gauges
(0 -50bar) connected to the pressure test ports at the control valve cabs.

Checks:
a) Connect the pressure gauges (0-50 bar) to all test ports at the pilot control
cabs (26 gauges necessary *) and (0-400 bar) to the high pressure filter
test ports M44.1, 44.2, 46.1, 46.2
b) Mark the control cab with the respective function and port designation.
c) Use the Check list for the Valve Logic in the appendix in this binder.
d) Unplug solenoid valve Y16 (travel parking brake closed) and activate the
swing brake with the switch at the dash board. The ladder and the
refilling arm are in high position (working position) the operator sits on
the operators seat. Make sure that the machine can move hazardless all
functions
e) Start one motor.
f) The operator activate carefully step for step the respective lever or pedal
as shown in the check list. Compare each step with the pressure condition
of the control cabs and main pressure to the check list.
If there is a wrong result, check the respective electric circuit and hydraulic
pilot circuit.

Brief description (Control circuits)

When the lever (E20) is moved out of its neutral position, proportional
solenoid valves Y32 are energized. Simultaneously the directional solenoid
valves Y32a (R.H.-swing) or Y32b (L.H.-swing) are energized.

By the function of the remote control valve (43) pilot pressure oil is sent to
one side of the control block (13/IV) when operating the control lever for
"Swinging". At the same time by the function of the proportional valve
(Y127) pilot pressure (proportional to the lever deflection) is present at port
X pressure increasing valve (PIV)of each brake valve block (49.1+49.2)
thus a internal pressure built up (higher as 150 bar) in the service lines is
possible.

Brief description (Service circuits)
(Study together with the for the machine valid hydraulic and electric circuit
diagram).
The swing motors (20.1 +20.2) are feed by the main pump (III). This pump is
at port XLR permanent with 35 bar X2- pressure fix adjusted to Qmax.
The oil flows from the pumps through check valve (47.3) and filter (153.3) to
the single control block (13 / IV).
In neutral position of the spool oil flows via port C into control block II for
additional oil volume from pump 3 to valve circuit II. If no function of
control block II is activated the oil flow via port T in to the collector tube (35)
and further via the return oil lines (L6 +L7) into the tank.

On its way to tank the oil must flow through the back pressure valve (115)
and the return oil filter (117.2 - 117.5). (Back pressure valve function see
chapt. 4.)
When operating the control lever for "Swinging" the pump line is connected
in the control block (33/IV) with the corresponding service line (A1 or B1) to
the swing motors (20.1 +20.2).
The oil flows from the control block through each one of the swing brake
valves (49.1 +49.2; description see page 6 and 7) and the swing motors (20.1
+20.2).
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 (L11 +L12) and the leak oil
filter (108) back to tank.

General:
A6VM355 HD1D is a variabledisplacement motor with an axial piston rotary
group of bent axis design for hydrostatic drives.
Its control range allows the variable displacement motor to meet both, high speed
and torque requirements. The output speed is proportional to its displacement.
The output speed increases with decreased displacement trough lower
operating pressure.
The output torque increases with increased displacement trough higher
operating pressure.

With pilot pressure at port X (35 bar) the displacement is variable from

With a swing speed of 0 up to 120 impulses per minute (measured by a proximity
switch located at the swing gear) the motors are in maximum displacement position,
i.e. min. speed and max. torque available.
With a swing speed of more as 120 imp./min. pilot pressure is directed via a solenoid
valve to port X at the motors, to actuate governor valve (3). Now the output speed is
variable depending on the operating pressure, controlled by the function of control
valve (8).
As a result of decreasing operating pressure the motors are reducing their
displacement so that the swing speed will increase.
If the operating pressure rises as a result of load torque, to the setting of the constant
pressure control valve (280 bar), the motors are swiveled out to a greater angel (higher
displacement) and the swing speed will decrease.

Cont'd:

A Flow from A to B without X-pressure (slow swing speed) :
The operating pressure opens check valve (1) and closes the opposite valve (2). The
same pressure is present at the control port of pressure control valve (8) and inside
the small area side of the positioning piston (4). The large area side is connected via
the governor valve (3) to tank (port T2).
The motor remains in V
gmax
position. = max. torque by low speed.

B Flow from A to B, with X-pressure (higher swing speed),
operating pressure 0 280 bar:
Operating pressure opens check valve (1) and closes the opposite valve (2). The
same pressure is present at the control port of pressure control valve (8) and inside
the small area side of the positioning piston (4).
Because of the X pressure at the control port of governor valve (3) a connection
is made from the operating pressure to the large area side of positioning piston (4).
Same pressure on both sides but different areas causes a greater force at the piston
side moving the motor into the V
gmin
position.
The motor is in regulation mode due to 35 bar X-pressure
Motor displacement to V
gmin
position (<280bar).

C Flow from A to B, with X-pressure (higher swing speed),
operating pressure 280-310 bar:
Depending on the system pressure (more as 280 bar), valve (8) connect the large
area side of the positioning piston (4) with the pressure less return line (T2). Low
pressure at the large side cause a greater force at the pressurized small area side of
the positioning piston (4) moving the motor into the V
gmax
position.
The motor is in regulation mode due to high operating pressure (>280bar) :
Motor displacement to V
gmax
position (>280bar).

As a result of decreasing operating pressure the motors are reducing their
displacement so that the swing speed will increase.
If the operating pressure rises as a result of load torque, to the setting of the constant
pressure control valve (280 bar), the motors are swiveled out to a greater angel (higher
displacement) and the swing speed will decrease.

8.2.2 Checks and Adjustments, illustration Z22432
Preconditions before starting checks and adjustments:
1. Main pump 3 must be in full flow position (X1-pressure =35 bar), no action
required because stabilized X1 pressure is automatic activated during swinging
2. MRVs and SRVs (pressure increasing valves) correctly adjusted.

Checking the Q-max. and Q-min. stop bolt setting.
Q-max : The average outer length of 25.1 mm must not be altered because the
max. possible swivel angle is used.
Q-min : The Qmin. adjustment depends on the max. permissible swing speed (with
reduced swivel angle). The average outer length is 36.1 mm

It is important that the adjustment is equal on both motors!
How to check the Q-min. adjustment.
1. Lift the extended attachment to horizontal position.
2. Measure the time for 5 revolutions after swinging one turn as an approach swing.
The time should be t5rev =90+5 sec .
3. If a adjustment is required:
Turn off box nut (1) and loosen lock nut (3)
Turn bolt (2) further in for less speed or further out for higher speed.
One turn of the Qmin bolt (2) cause a change of approx. t5rev = 4.6 sec.
4. Re-check speed and tighten lock nut and re-fit box nut (1) after setting is finished.

How to check / adjust the start of regulation.
1. Activate manually relay K153 to energize Y48 to pressurized swing motor port
X with X2-pressur.
2. Connect a pressure gauge (0-400 bar) to check point M12.2 at high pressure
filter of single control block IV.
3. Measure and note outer length (L) of Qmax stop bolt (2) (for resetting later on)
Loosen lock nut (3) approx. turn without turning the stop bolt..
4. Start engine 1 and let it run in high idle.
5. Apply the swing parking brake.
6. Operate carefully the control lever for swing in one direction and keep it in end
position. The resulting operating pressure should be 320 bar.
7. Loosen look nut of MRV at single control block IV.
8. Decrease / increase alternately the operating pressure between 300 bar and 260 bar
at MRV set screw. Check by turning the Qmax stop bolt (2) by hand, if the motor
control lens touches the Qmax stop bolt:
The lens must touch the stop bolt with a pressure higher than 280 bar.
The lens must not touch the stop bolt with a pressure lower than 280 bar
9. Correct the start of regulation with valve (8) if necessary.
10. Reset MRV. Stop engine and deactivate K153

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.
A grease nipple is via a hose connected to the bearing lubrication port (22).

Function:
Brake applied:
The outer disks (3) engaged to the housing by serration and the inner disks (4) in
serrated connection with drive shaft are pressed together by the springs (8). This
results in a fixed connection between housing and drive shaft.
Brake released:
Oil pressure via port (12) reaches the bottom of the piston (5) and forces the
piston upwards against the thrust washer (2).
This function eliminates the spring force to the disc (3) and (4) thus the brake is
released.
The releasing pressure is 12 - 20 bar, the maximum permissible pressure
60 bar.

This is a so named "Wet Brake" because the brake housing is filled with 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
If after a swing motion the joy stick is released 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.
Both service lines (pump line and tank line) are blocked at the control
valve block. In this period the service line (previously pump line) acts now
as suction line and the return line (previously return line) acts now as
output line. Because of the closed service ports at the control block all oil
from the swing motor must pass the brake valve block. The pressure
increasing valve in the brake valve block acts now as a back pressure
valve. This variable back pressure is the brake force.

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 pre-
tensioning 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.

During the swing down phases the swing motors (6) are working as pumps.
It means that the pressure side change to a suction side and the suction side
change to a pressure side. To prevent cavitation in the swing motors during
this change there are two back pressure valves (4) fitted. The valves (4)
together with the gear pumps (3) increase the main back pressure up to 15
bar. Port B is direct connected to the tank port (return line) of the swing brake
valve block (5).

8.2.8 Swing Monitoring System, illustration (Z 21947a)
There are two reasons why the swing monitoring system is installed:
a) To prevent adverse effects of a counter action.
b) To increase the swing speed, by reducing the swivel angel of the
swing motor (lowering the required oil volume per motor rotation)

Function of the swing monitoring system:
The two sensors B98 and B99, (Proximity switches mounted into a housing
near the ring-gear) sensing the direction of rotation.
How?
Because the distance from sensor to sensor (B) is less than the distance of two
teeth (A), one of the sensors recognizes first a swing action.
The signals of both sensors are used as input signals for the module (E42)
which monitors the swing direction.
The same signals from sensor B99 are send to the module E43 for sensing the
swing speed.
Proximity switch B99 together with module E43 monitors the swing speed to
control via relay K154 and K153 solenoid valve (Y48).
Activated solenoid valve Y48 allows full X2 pressure to swing motors
(20.1 +20.2) port X =if the working pressure is less then 280 bar
increasing of swing speed is possible.
De activated solenoid valve Y48 causes no X2 pressure to swing motor
(20.1 +20.2) port X =the motors are fixed in maximum swivel angel
(max. volume =max. torque and min. speed)
Acceleration
During the first acceleration phase the maximum torque by minimum speed is
required, the motors must be in maximum swivel angel (x-port 0 bar). E43
detect the swing speed, if the speed is below 120 Imp./min. relays K154 and
K153 are still de energized and further solenoid valve Y48 de-energized (x-
port =0 bar =max. motor swivel angel =max torque). After this first
acceleration the required torque and hydraulic pressure droops and the swing
speed increase. E43 detect more as 120 Imp./min and energize relay K154. If
the lever direction and the swing direction is the same K153 energized and
further D153 energized solenoid valve Y48 (x-port =35 bar =variable motor
swivel angel is possible).
Braking with counter position of the lever
If the operator release the lever or move the lever to counter position relay
K153 opened contact 5 / 9 it de energize time relay D153. After the time is
elapsed (one second) solenoid valve Y48 de energize and change over in
neutral position so that pilot line L18 release the pressure to the tank (port X =
0 bar). The swing motors move to maximum swivel angel. Now a maximum
breaking torque is available.

(Study together with the valid hydraulic and electric circuit diagram for the
machine)
Adjustments - Measurements -Settings
a) Distance between Swing ring teeth and the switches B98 and B99
The sensors B98 and B99 are inductive switches with own electronic.
Sensor B98 switches 24V via cable Sig to terminal 4 of E42 and
Sensor B99 switches 24V via cable Sig to terminal 11 of E42 if a
tooth comes close to the sensor head.
Simultaneously these signal arrives at E43 terminal 4.
Adjust the distance C of the sensors B98 and B99 to 51 mm.

b) E42 for monitoring the slew direction
E42 is an programmable module which is factory programmed with the
parameters are shown in the electric diagram. Therefore no adjustments
or settings are required.
The indication light (In1 from B98 / In2 from B99) lights/pulses if a
input signal comes up. The indication light (Out1 for swing left / Out2
for swing right) lights if the module indicates a swing direction.

c) E43 for monitoring the slew direction
E43 is an programmable module which is factory programmed with the
parameters are shown in the electric diagram below.

Settings:
E43 (speed monitor) counter prevention
No Function nominal setting
1 Setting the start up delay Not used set to 0
2 Fine setting of the preset value (pulses / min.) 12 imp/min (i.e.120)
3 Setting the hysteresis Not used set to 0

5 Setting the switching function Set to III
6 Coarse setting of the preset value (pulses / min) X x 10 imp/min

8.2.9 Checks and adjustments for the swing circuit

It is important that the complete MRV-valve and the Pressure
Increasing Valve is firmly (with 300 Nm) tightened.
Otherwise, the internal sealing sealed not properly which results in:
difficulty setting, loud flow noises and abnormal temperatures.
Whenever pressure checks are carried out, they must be carried out
for both, r.h. and l.h. swing, to make sure the check valves in the brake
valve are in good shape.
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 the gauge (0-400 bar) to check point M12.2 at the high
pressure filter units (153.3) of single control block IV.
2. Release the pilot pressure by several movements of the lever with
motor / engine stand still. The key switch S1 must be on the ladder and
service arm must be in up position. Disconnect carefully the pilot
pressure lines from the pressure increasing valves and close the lines
with a suitable plug.
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 engine and let it run with max. speed.
5. Lower attachment to ground and apply house brake (swing parking
brake).
6. Actuate either l.h. or r.h. rotation until the hydraulic system stalls and
increase slowly the MRV-pressure while observing the pressure gauge.
Gauge value must remain at 330 -5 bar. Increase MRV setting
additional 1/8 turn cw..
7. If the gauge shows a lower or higher value the pressure increasing
valves must be adjusted.

a) loosen lock nut (3) at the first PIV and turn out set screw (4)
until 150 +5 bar is reached.
b) Tighten lock nut (3).
c) Loosen lock nut (3) at the second PIV and turn out set screw
(4) until the gauge start lowering the pressure.
d) Re-check pressure setting.
9. Re-connect the pilot pressure line. Proceed like item 2.

For later one pressure checks the steps 2 + 3 must not be done.
The Swinging down path may be extended, means the low pressure
may be decreased a little; e.g. for greater operating radius such as at
strip Mining. But a little only otherwise disturbance due Swinging will
occur.
The Swinging down path may be shortened, means the low pressure
may be increased approx. 20 bar; but not more because that means
greater shocks in the systems which will shorten the life time of the
components.

In neutral position of the spools the oil flows via the return oil lines into the col-
lector tube (35, not shown). From the collector tube (35) flows the oil via the re-
turn oil lines (L6 +L7, not shown) into the collector tube (114) and further to
the tank. On its way to tank the oil must flow through the back pressure valve
(115) or the oil coolers (106.1 106.4) and the return oil filter (117.1 - 117.4).
(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 (34) and the valve blocks (175 +176) to the travel motors (21.1 -
21.4).
The oil flows from the travel motors via the rotary distributor back to the control
blocks and further to tank.
Each travel gear includes two spring loaded multi disk brakes (House brakes)
(52.1 - 52.4). They are used as parking brakes, automatically applied (by the
function of Y16) whenever both motors stoped. The brake release pressure is
monitored by the pressure switch (B48).
The leak oil (case drain) flows through the line (L) and the leak oil filter (108)
back to tank.

Function (Z 22522):
During operation superstructure and under carriage rotate towards each other.
The travel oil motors must be supplied with hydraulic oil in every position in
which the superstructure is turned in regard to the undercarriage. Oil is di-
rected 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
and the housing (stator) is fixed by the upper structure. The sealing of the ring
grooves among one another is done by seal rings (8) and o-rings (9).
The hydraulic connection for the travel motor case drain and the travel motor
house brake is done via the ports (L) and (St).
The rotor (1) is at the top and bottom section guided in the housing by the
guide rings (12).

8.3.4 Travel Gear and Parking Brake

Function principle ( illustration Z22524a):
The spur gear stage (B) is driven by two hydraulic motors via two drive
shafts (A). This in turn causes that by the shaft (C) the first planetary stage
(D) is driven; opposite the input drive direction.
The planetary gears of the second planetary stage are connected to the hollow
shaft (G).
The drive sprocket is mounted to the hollow shaft (G).

Function:
Brake applied:
The outer disks (7) engaged to the housing by serration and the inner disks (6) in
serration connection with the coupler, are pressed together by the springs (8 +
9). This results in a fixed connection between housing and coupler.

Brake released:
Oil pressure via port (16) reaches the left side of the piston (2) and forces the
piston towards the back-up ring (4), as shown.
This function eliminates the spring force onto the disks thus the brake is re-
leased.
The releasing pressure is 18 bar, the maximum permissible pressure 60 bar.
This brake named "Wet Brake" because the brake housing is filled with gear oil.

Electric / Hydraulic Flow Charts


On the following pages are shown the electric / hydraulic flow charts for the
travel circuit.

The electrical signal created by the foot pedals (E21a and E21b) reach first
of all the ramp modules (E51 and E52) and further the amplifier modules
(A12 and A13). It is a voltage signal from 10 up to +10 Volt dependent to
the pedal deflection and direction. The amplifier modules changes this signal
in a current signal from 0 to 1000 mA and a directional signal (0 or 24 V).
The current signal activate the proportional valve and the directional signal
the directional solenoid valve of the remote control block (45.1 and 45.3).
The valves in case activate the pilot pressure to the main control valve blocks.
This hydraulic signal (pilot pressure) from the remote control valves flow to
the main control blocks (175 and 176) to the pilot pressure ports a1 or b1
which in case push the main control valve spool to control the main hydraulic
oil flow from the main pump.
The main hydraulic oil flows now from the main control blocks via the ro-
tary distributor (34) to the hydraulic motors (21.1 - 21.4).

Adjustments / Checks

It is important that the complete MRV-valve is firmly (with 300 Nm)
tightened.
Otherwise, the internal sealing sealed not properly which results in:
difficulty setting, loud flow noises and abnormal temperatures.

High pressure check / adjustment (illustration Z 22528)
1. Connect the gauge (0-400 bar) to the check points M12.1. and M12.4
at the double high pressure filters.
2. Unplug solenoid valve Y16 (Z 22529, filter and valve panel motor 2) to
keep the parking brake applied.
4. Engage carefully desired travel motion and hold foot pedal in final po-
sition to built up max. pressure.
5. Increase * slowly the MRV-pressure while observing the pressure
gauge. Gauge value must remain at 310

The hydraulic track tensioning system ensures automatically the correct track
tension.
The pilot pressure pumps (7.1+7.2, see hydraulic diagram page 02) will supply
oil to all four tensioning cylinders (62.1-62.4).
The maximum pressure is limited by the pressure increasing valve (182), one
for both sides.
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 (60.1 + 60.2, first stage) and (59.1 + 59.2, second stage).
For information about the preventative track inspection, refer to the

Operation and Maintenance Manual.

Illustration Z 22454:
Under normal operating condition the shut-off cock (54.1) located on

the valve block (181) in the car body are closed. The shut-off cock
(184) located on the valve block (181) in the car body and (54.2 and
54.3) located inside the side frames are open.
The oil flow of the pilot pressure pumps (7.1 + 7.2), filtered by pressure filter
(68.1) enters port "P" of the solenoid valves Y16 via hydraulic line L3 and
the rotary joint to the track tensioning valve block (181) in the car body.
If solenoid valves Y16 is actuated (i.e. pressure at sensor B48), the oil flows
(X2-pressure with 35 bar) via the pressure relive valve (83), rotary joint (34), the
shut-off cock (184) and check valves (180.1+180.2) into the tensioning cylinders
(62.1 - 62.4).
The resulting force moves the guide wheels toward the front, until the correct
track tension is obtained.
Simultaneously the system is connected to the pressure increasing valve (182).
External forces acting at the guide wheels will be absorbed through the pressure
accumulators (60.1 + 60.2, first stage) and (59.1 + 59.2, second stage).
Purpose of the pressure increasing valve
The two system pressures
35 bar with engine stopped
315 bar with engine running
are controlled by the pressure increasing valve as follows.
With stopped engine and switched off ignition there is no pilot pressure (X2) at
the pressure increasing valve (182) and only the lowest adjusted pressure of 35
bar remains in the system.
As soon as the engine has been started, the pilot pressure (X2) of 35 bar act
on the pressure increasing valve. As a result the system pressure can rise to
the adjusted pressure of 315 bar.

Cushioning Function
When the tensioning cylinders (62.1 - 62.4) are moved in by external forces,
the none return valves (179.1 + 179.2) 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, is taken up by the side frame
accumulators (60.1.1 + 60.2).
Second stage: at a pressure higher than 150 bar, is taken up by the center section
accumulators (59.1 + 59.2).
The system pressure can rise up to 315 bar pressure increasing valve (182)
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 (X2), as soon as the pressure in the
lines to the tensioning cylinder is lower than 35 bar.

9.2 Pressure Increasing Valve

The pressure increasing valve is a remote controlled pressure relief
valve.
(1) Pilot valve with valve seat
(2) Valve poppet
(4) Main valve with sleeve
(5) Main piston
(6) Closing spring
(7) Set screw - low pressure 35 bar
(8) Set screw - high pressure 310bar
(9) Piston
(10) Pin
(11+12) Jet bore
(13+14) 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.

Function:
The engine is running
In addition to the hydraulic diagram Z 22495 also the electric diagram 897 899 40
on next page.
The pumps (7.1) and (7.2) are delivering oil through filter (68.1) to port P of the
solenoid valve Y123A/B (3 way- 4 port valve), and to the pressure relief valve
(70.1) port A. The pressure relief valve (70.1) maintains the adjusted pressure of
60 bar.
With solenoid valve Y123A/B in neutral position ports A, B, P and T are blocked.
If one of the solenoids is energised the valve directs pump oil to the cylinder.
Depending on the activated solenoid the cylinder gets pump oil to the piston or
rod side and the ladder move up or down.
The pressure relief valve (171) limits the pressure of the ladder cylinder to
maximal 70 bar.
With activated solenoid valve Y123A/B the return oil from the cylinder must pass
solenoid valve Y125. With de-energised solenoid valve Y125 the return oil flow
is restricted through orifice (172) resulting in a reduced speed of ladder
movement. More over, the combined function of sensors S22 / S91 and solenoid
valve Y125 provides smooth and cushioned approach of the ladder to the upper
and lower final stops. In the main movement range R2 the ladder speed is faster
because the energised solenoid valve Y125 allows unrestricted oil flow back to
the tank.

Cont'd:
Y125 is energised when both proximity switches S22 and S91 are not activated
(ladder in R2.range)
If the ladder is in position B the activated sensor S22 de-energised Y125 and
energised Y123A, now unrestricted pump pressure is connected to the cylinder
piston side to keep the ladder pressurerized in the upper final stop position B.
If switch S84 is in neutral position and the ladder moves out of the R3 range all
solenoids (Y125; Y123 A+B) are de-energised and the ladder stops.
Engine off and the ladder in position C
With activated switch S84 in position 2 (ladder down) solenoid valve Y123B
and relay K132 are energised. Y123B connects the cylinder piston side via
solenoid valve Y125 to the tank. K132 activate Y125 so that the oil can flow
without resistance to the tank. Now, the ladder can move down only by its
own weight. The operator have to push the ladder slightly until it starts
moving.
The rod side of the cylinder receives oil via anti-cavitation valve (162.3).
The ladder controlling is independent to the main electric key switch S1 and
the battery master switch. The ladder circuit is directly supplied by the
battery via circuit breaker F17.
There is an additional pull switch S84A below the ladder support.
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 can be the result.

The excavator is equipped with a central refilling system for easy service and
maintenance. One part of this system is the movable refilling arm. This arm is
hydraulic driven by the hydraulic cylinder (C) and mounted below the power
frame.
The refilling arm can moved up or down by pull switch S23. For correct
operation of the refilling arm see OPERATION MANUAL:
If the refilling arm swing out of the upper position the pilot control will
stop all working functions and activate the swing brake. The text

The pumps (7.1) and (7.2) are delivering oil through filter (68.1) to port P of the
solenoid valve Y124A/B and the pressure relief valve (70.1) port A. The pressure
relief valve (70.1) maintains the adjusted pressure of maximum 60 bar.
If the solenoid valves Y124A together with solenoid valve Y124C is energised
pressurised oil flows to the arm cylinder piston side and the refilling arm will
move up. If the solenoid valves Y124B together with solenoid valve Y124C is
energised pressurised oil flows to the arm cylinder rod side and the refilling arm
will move down.
Solenoid valve Y124C act as a security lock to prevent a uncontrolled down
moving of the refilling arm. This valve is a special 100% leek oil free valve.
All solenoid valves Y124A/B and C are PLC controlled. Control switch B (S87)
is connected to the PLC and act as a remote control. The refilling arm can only
moved down or up with activated key contact (key switch S1 in the cabin). Only
down moving is possible by gravity with engines stand still.

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.
* LED between A1 and coil
** Diode between A1 and A2.

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: 13463

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

m
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 mm

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.

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.

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 de-
energized relay or normal open switch contact) thus the ECS recognize a fault
after switching ON the system.

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

14.6.1 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.

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.

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 engine and run at high idle.
3. Switch ON the lube system manually, the gauge should show 220-250 bar.
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.

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).

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 engine must run in high idle.
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 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

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.
