The DA control is an engine speed-dependent, or automotive,
type control system. The built-in DA regulating cartridge ge-
nerates a pilot pressure that is proportional to pump (engine)
drive speed. This pilot pressure is directed to the positioning
cylinder of the pump by a solenoid actuated 4/3 way direc-
tional valve. Pump displacement is infinitely variable in each
direction of flow, and is influenced by both pump drive speed
and discharge pressure. Flow direction (i.e. machine forward or
reverse) is controlled by energizing solenoid a or b.
Increasing pump drive speed generates a higher pilot pressure
from the DA cartridge, with a subsequent increase in pump
flow and/or pressure.
Dependent on the selected pump operating characteristics,
increasing system pressure (i.e. machine load) causes the
pump to swivel back towards a smaller displacement. Engine
overload (anti-stall) protection is achieved by the combination
of this pressure-related pump de-stroking, and the reduction of
pilot pressure as the engine speed drops.
Any additional power requirement, such as implement hy-
draulics, may result in further engine pull down. This causes a
further reduction in pilot pressure and therefore pump displace-
ment. Automatic power division and full utilization of available
power is thus achived for both the vehicle transmission and
the implement hydraulics, with priority given to the implement
hydraulics.
To provide controllable reduced vehicle speed operation when
high engine speeds are required for fast implement hydraulics,
various inching options are available.
The DA regulating cartridge can also be used in pumps with
conventional control devices, such as EP, HW or HD, to provi-
de an engine anti-stall function, or as a combination of automo-
tive and displacement control functions.
Application of the DA control is only appropriate on certain
types of vehicle drive systems, and requires a review of the
engine and vehicle parameters to ensure proper application
of the pump, and safe and efficient machine operation. All DA
applications must therefore be reviewed by a Rexroth Applica-
tion Engineer.
