Proportional Directional Control Valve, with Digital Onboard Electronics and Internal Feedback
Technical Features
The proportional valve PRM9 consists of a cast iron housing, a specially shaped control spool, two centering springs with support washers,
one or two proportional solenoids, a spool position sensor and digital on-board electronics.
The position sensor measurement system is based on the principle of a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). The sensor core is mechanically
connected to the coil.
The digital control electronics are housed in an aluminum housing mounted on the valve body.
While the sensor is connected to the electronics via a cable, the solenoids are connected directly, without the use of cables.
For the basic electrical connection, a MIL-C5015 connector (6 + PE) is used, which provides power supply, control signal input and signal output from
the spool position sensor. Other connector equipment is related to the selection of the valve type and function.
A 5-pole connector plug with M12x1 thread is used for connection to the CANopen bus.
The digital electronic unit uses a pulse width modulated signal (PWM) to control the proportional solenoids.
The electronics are equipped with internal current feedback, the output current can be modulated by a dynamic lubrication signal if necessary.
Dynamic lubrication significantly reduces the effects of adhesion forces.
Other functional parameters can be easily set using the PRM9 software after connecting the valve to a computer via the USB (PC) ⇔ USB-C (valve)
inputs. This allows you to easily set, for example, ramp functions, deadband, offset, coil current limit, feedback parameters, etc.
The software is freely downloadable from the ARGO-HYTOS website. The program does not require installation.
There are two access levels:
- after entering the password* 1234, entry into technician mode is possible
- without entering the password, entry into user mode is possible
*The password can be changed at will.
The PRM9 is available with following model options:
Models with standard OBE
E02S02 internal spool position feedback
Models with OBE and CANopen connectivity
E02S02-CA internal spool position feedback, CANopen connectivity
All models are equipped with an optical feedback (standard: 2 LEDs; with CANopen: 3 LEDs).
As a standard, the proportional valve is delivered with factory setting.

- For proportional valves with two solenoids, one solenoid must be de-energized before the other solenoid can be charged.
- Mounting bolts M6x40 DIN 912-10.9 or studs must be ordered separately. Tightening torque is 14+1 Nm (10.3+0.7 lbf.ft).
- Besides the shown, commonly used valve versions other special models are available.
- Contact our technical support for their identification, feasibility and operating limits.
