PWM output, proportional Valve
« on: April 17, 2024, 10:40:56 PM »
Hello I am new to Danfoss! THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP!!

I am trying to control a proportional valve with a PWM signal, the valve requires a 0 to 600mA.

What are the steps involve in this. as simple as possible?

1. Scaling. the valve is inversely proportional so 0mA= 3000PSI and 600mA=0PSI, I can use y=mx+b or scale function from library.
2. is there a function block needed to output a PWM? or can I send the scaled value to the Multifunctional Output?
3. how is the ping configuration done? Output mode option 3,4 or 5?

Thank you again !!

1. As a beginner yes I would use the scale Fb this is
2. Yes there is a PWM_Driver function block found in the outputs library, see attached
3. Ping config 3 is a good starting point, see attached
