Functional description

Electrohydraulic directional control valves (4)
The additional valves (directional valves) to be used are
from the SBxx-EHSx family (e.g. SB23-EHS1). The valves
and CAN are controlled by the SRC14‑10 controller.
The valves are electrohydraulic pilot operated, proportional
4-way valves (lift, lower, free movement, neutral) with
integrated control electronics and path measurement. The
valves have a slice design and are combined to form control
blocks.
In the case of the pilot oil supply being integrated in the
control block, the supply must be activated by current feed
to the solenoid-operated pressure reducing valve in the
end plate. This is carried out by the electronic controller
(24). This function is specified by default. In the case of
an external pilot oil supply or for control blocks without a
solenoid-operated pressure reducing valve, this function
does not apply (after consultation).
Please contact us for the case of the tractor control valve
TVC being used in a constant current circuit (gear pump).

Functional description

Joystick (3)
An electronic, two-axis joystick type 4EJ SW‑E10 is used for Valve 1 axis
the tractor control valve TVC. 20˚ 20˚
The TVC software assigns valves 1 and 2 to the 4EJ
32
Joystick by default. Upon request, each of the valves 1
and 2 can be operated by a single-axis joystick (“Fingertip”,
16) (Caution: for this version only five Fingertips can be
connected to the controller and consequently only five EHS
valves can be controlled.).
The EJ Joystick moves the relevant valve proportionally and
steplessly in the “lift” and “lower” directions. The joystick can
control two valves (valve 1 and 2) proportionally at the same

118
time (e.g. for front loader tasks).
When the “Float position” button (14) is pressed, the
respective controlled valve is brought into the float position.

51
To achieve this, the joystick must be moved at least 50%
in the required axis and the float position must be activated
by twice pressing the “Float position” button (e.g. integrated
in the joystick handle). The joystick can then be returned to
the neutral position, the float position remains active. The

38
3
float position is ended by again moving the joystick briefly in
the same axis, the valve returns to neutral. The LEDs (18)
indicate the activated float positions for each valve.
70
The joystick is locked at system startup. To release the
joystick, the “Joystick on” button (15) must be pressed 102
for at least two seconds. When the joystick is not used,
it must again be locked with the button (15) so that any
Valve 2 axis
inadvertent joystick movement does not cause control of
the EHS valves. The current status is indicated by the LEDs 20˚ 20˚
(22). Various handle models with switches, buttons and
rollers exist for the EJ Joystick. They do not affect the basic
function of the joystick (movement in both axes) and they
have their own cable outlet. These controls can be used for
other different functions. However, the buttons and switches
can also be used for software functions. For example, it is
advisable to integrate the button for activation of the float
position in the handle. The wiring for this must be ensured.

Functional description
Single-axis joystick (Fingertip) (16)
The “Fingertips” are small, single-axis joysticks for setpoint
specification for valves number 3 up to a maximum 6.
The Fingertips have a proportional range in both directions
(lift, lower) and detents at both limit stops. If the Fingertip
is in detent A, this is interpreted as being a permanent
consumer. Detent B is interpreted as being the float position.
The function is ended by releasing the lever from the detent.
In the proportional range the corresponding valve is moved
steplessly in the “lift” and “lower” directions.
The “Oil flow limit valve x” potentiometers can limit the
maximum oil flow of the respective valve. This increases
the sensitivity in proportional range and permits application-
­specific adjustment of the oil quantity in constant operation.
Additionally, the “Time setpoint value valve x” potentiometers
can set a time-limited oil flow in detent A. The time is
preselectable between 1 s and 60 s, in the potentiometer
end range the position is “Continuous operation”. The time
function is activated when the Fingertip is in engaged in
end position A. The Fingertip must be disengaged and
reengaged to reactivate the time function. If the Fingertip
is disengaged when the time function is active, the time
function is ended and the corresponding oil flow specified
by the Fingertip is set.
After consultation, the system can also be controlled by
Fingertips that only have one or even no detent.

Electronic controller (24)
The TVC software is loaded onto an electronic controller
type SRC14-10 in the factory. The controller with TVC
software accepts the input signals from the controls and the
then controls the corresponding valve slices. Diagnostics
are integrated.
The controller is designed for use in tractor cabs.
Valves, controls, potentiometers, buttons, switches and
LEDs are connected to the controller.
Potentiometers (V1…V6; t3…t6)
The potentiometers have the function of either oil flow limit
or time control for each single valve. Valves 1 and 2 only
have the capability of oil flow adjustment, the following
valves 3 and up for adjustment of the oil flow as well as the
time.
The oil flow limit (V1….V6) can be preselected between 10%
and 100% of the maximum oil flow. This can achieve higher
joysticks sensitivity.
The time control (t3…t6) can preselect the valve actuated
time for between 1 second and 60 seconds as well as
“unlimited” (“Continuous on”).
Commercially available potentiometers with 5 kOhm ±10%
are to be used.
“Enable control block” button (13)
The entire TVC system is activated or deactivated with the
“Enable control block” button.
For instance, the pilot oil supply in the end plate of the
control block is controlled.
We recommend the system is switched off when not in
use to prevent possible overheating and unnecessary
energy consumption, as well as to ensure there are not any
malfunctions, e.g. during transportation.
A LED (19) indicates the status.
“Enable joystick” button(15)
The EJ Joystick is activated or deactivated with the “Enable
joystick” button.
We recommend the joystick is switched off when not in use
to ensure there are not any malfunctions.
A LED (22) indicates the status.

Functional description

Emergency-off switch (17)
The emergency-off function is implement with an
emergency-stop switch.
Pressing the emergency-stop switch switches off all valve
controls including the pilot oil supply. After actuation of
the “emergency stop” the emergency-stop switch must be
disengaged mechanically (manually) to restore operational
readiness to the system. Before this is done, the danger
situation must be made safe and the measures required for
danger prevention must be initiated.
After the emergency-stop switch has been disengaged
all joysticks must be moved into the neutral position. The
system is again ready for operation after activation of the
pressure reducing valve for the pilot oil supply.
Diagnostics LEDs (20)
Distinction is drawn between TVC diagnostics and
diagnostics of the directional control valves (EHS).
TVC diagnostics:
TVC diagnostics is indicated by means of a blink code of the
LEDs (20). Detailed error codes can be found in the TVC
instruction manual.
EHS diagnostics:
The diagnostics LEDs for the SB23-EHS are located directly
on the valve connector. Detailed error codes can be found in
the EHS instruction manual.
Detailed diagnostics valves with CAN bus is also possible as
an option (after consultation).
When a serious malfunction occurs, the valve reports this
and causes the TVC software to initiate an emergency
switch-off of the corresponding valve.
LEDs (18,19, 20, 21, 22)
Commercially available LEDs are used for various status
displays.
The customer chooses the color.
TVC software
TVC software is delivered exclusively together with the
controller.
Further software
After consultation, further software modules can be
implemented in the controller as required. These can be:
electronic hitch control, PTO shaft control etc. (including
dependent upon the electronic controller capabilities).
However, these are not part of the TVC and must be agreed
with Rexroth beforehand in each case.

Safety instructions
General
•• The suggested circuits do not imply any technical liability
for the system on the part of Rexroth.
•• Incorrect programming of the SRC14 -10 may create
potential sources of danger while the machine is in
operation.
•• It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to
determine hazards of this type in a danger analysis and
to bring them to the attention of the end user. Rexroth
assumes no liability for dangers of this type.
•• In order to preserve the warranty, installation or
replacement of the TVC software must be performed by
Rexroth or an appropriate contractual partner.
•• To switch off the system in emergencies, the power supply
to the electronics must be disconnected with a safety
switch. The safety switch must be installed in an easily
accessible position for the operator. The system must be
designed in such a way that actuating the safety switch
ensures safe braking.
•• System developments, installation and commissioning of
electronic systems for controlling hydraulic drives must
only be carried out by trained and experienced specialists
who are sufficiently familiar with the components used and
with the complete system.
•• During commissioning of the SRC14-10, unexpected
dangers may be present at the machine. Before
commissioning the system, you must therefore ensure
that the vehicle and the hydraulic system are in a safe
condition.
•• Make sure that nobody is in the machine’s danger zone.
•• No defective or incorrectly functioning components may
be used. If the components should fail or demonstrate
faulty operation, repairs must be performed immediately.
Notes on the installation point and position
•• Radio equipment and mobile telephones must not be used
in the driver’s cab without a suitable antenna or near the
control electronics.
•• A sufficiently large distance to radio systems must be
maintained.
•• When carrying out electrical welding or painting, all the
connectors are to be disconnected from the electronics.
•• Cables/wires must be sealed individually to prevent water
from entering the device.
Notes on wiring and cable routing
•• The electronics and the power outputs of a controller must
be fed from the same power source.
•• When wiring the output stages, the maximum cumulative
output current for each output stage group should be
noted. The cumulative output current means a permanent,
simultaneous actuation of the output stages.
•• The product may only be wired when it is deenergized.
•• Cables to the electronics must not be routed close to other
power-conducting lines in the machine or vehicle.
•• The wiring harness is to be mechanically secured in the
vicinity of the attachment location (distance < 150 mm)
of the SRC14-10. The wiring harness is to secured such
a way that in-phase excitation with the SRC14-10 takes
place (e.g., at the attachment location of the SRC14-10).
•• Lines should be installed inside the vehicle if possible.
Should the lines be installed outside the vehicle, make
sure they are securely attached.
•• Lines must not be kinked or twisted, not rub on edges and
not be moved without protection through sharp-edged
passages.
•• Lines are to be installed at a safe distance from hot or
moving vehicle parts.
Notes on proportional solenoids and switching
solenoids and other switched inductive consumers
•• The proportional solenoids must not be wired with spark-
suppression diodes.
•• Switching solenoids at the controller outputs need not be
connected to spark-suppression diodes.
•• The electronics may only be tested with the proportional
solenoids connected.
•• Other inductive loads that are in the system but not
connected to the controller RC must be connected to
spark suppression diodes.
