ELECTRO-HYDRAULICS OVERVIEW AND APPLICATION
12.3 COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CIRCUIT
DIAGRAM
In comparison with purely hydraulic control systems, electro-hydraulic control
systems exhibit the following advantages:
Greater reliability
- Fewer moving components subject to wear required.
Reduced planning and commisioning complexity, in particular in the case of
complex control systems
- The control program is electronically formulated and therefore can be
easily corrected and adapted.
Reduced installation complexity
- Electrical signals can be easily transmitted over large distances via
cables.
- Mechanical signal transmission by means of rod linkage and cable pulls
or hydraulic signal transmission is far more complex.
The control system can be easily modified and adapted
- The program can be easily and flexibly adapted to varying process
sequences if the control program is electronically formulated.
Simpler exchange of information between several controllers
- Several PLCs can be networked via special communication interfaces if
the control programs are stored in a PLC. Exchange of information is
often effected via standardised, easy to use bus systems.
Easy to deploy in automatic production plants
- In automation technology, the entire signal processing function is usually
effected electrically or electronically. Therefore, electro-hydraulic systems
can be more easily deployed in automatic production plants.

12.4 DC POWER SUPPLY
12.4.1 Definitions of Direct current (DC).
Direct current (DC or continuous current) is the unidirectional flow of
electric charge. Direct current is produced by such sources as batteries,
thermocouples, solar cells and commutator-type electric machines of the
dynamo type. Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but
can also be through semiconductors, insulators or even through a
vacuum as in electron or ion beams. In direct current, the electric charges
flow in the same direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC).
A term formerly used for direct current was Galvanic current.
Direct current may obtained from an alternating current supply by use of a
current-switching arrangement called a rectifier, which contains electronic
elements (usually) or electromechanical elements (historically) that allow
current to flow only in one direction. Direct current may be into alternating
current with an inverter or motor generator set. (see figure 12.5)

When the control switch is closed, current I flows via the load. The
electrons move from the negative pole to the positive pole of the voltage
source. The direction of flow from quotes “positive” to “negative” was laid
down before electrons were discovered. This definition is still used in
practice today. It is called technical direction.

14.1 RAPID TRAVERSE FEED CIRCUIT
14.1 Description of the circuit
In this circuit, the rapid advance circuit is only active in the direction of
extending. The physical basis of this circuit is that in relation to a certain
cylinder position, different resistances are effective. First, the cylinder
extends at rapid speed due to the fact that the flow on the annulus side is
directly fed to the tank through an interconnected directional control valve
(low resistance). When a specific position is reached, a sensor in
conjunction with a relay actuated the interconnected directional control
valve. The directional valve closes the connection and the flow is directed
exclusively through a 2 way flow control valve which reduces the flow,
and thus the extending velocity, to the set value. The retracting
movement of the cylinder should not be affected by this.

14.2 ACCUMULATOR CIRCUIT, PRESSURE LESS BYPASS
14.2.1 Description of the circuit
Accumulators are used for storing energy, damping pulsations, holding a
pressure constant, compensating for leakage as well as for the
suspension on vehicles. The circuit refers to the function of the storing
energy. For this purpose, a diaphragm type accumulator can be a
diaphragm, a bladder or a piston. When smaller accumulators are
required, diaphragm type accumulators are preferred. The physical basic
principle of energy storage is the compressibility of a gas volume.

14.4 FLOW DIVIDING VALVE, PILOT CONTROL
14.4.1 Description of the circuit
Throttle check valves belong to the group of flow control valves. The task
of these is to limit or throttle the flow in one direction and allow almost
unrestricted flow in the reverse direction. The circuit is to shows that an
adjustable throttle check valve can be used to vary the running velocity of
a cylinder in one direction of movement. In other direction, the flow is only
slightly throttled. In this case, the hydraulic fluid flows through the open
passage of the check valve element of the throttle check valve. In
addition, the effects of a meter in and meter out throttle on the pressure
conditions on the cylinder are to be shown.
Throttle check valves are throttles which in contrast to a fine throttle
(orifice), are temperature and viscosity dependent.
Throttles are control elements, which allow a certain amount of fluid to
pass through the element in dependence upon the differential pressure.
Such valves are used especially in applications, where the influence on
the cylinder in only requested in one direction. A typical field of application
would be, for example a lifting platform.
