PVG 120 with PVP Open Center
When the pump is started and the main spools (1) in the individual basic modules are in neutral position,
oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across the pressure adjustment spool (2) to tank.
The oil flow led across the pressure adjustment spool determines the pump pressure (stand-by pressure).
If a reduced stand-by pressure is required, an extra relief valve PVPH or PVPE can be used in PVP.
When the main spools are actuated the highest load pressure is distributed across the shuttle valve
circuit (3) to the spring chamber behind the pressure adjustment spool (2) and completely or partly
closes the connection to tank.
The pump pressure is applied to the right-hand side of the pressure adjustment spool (2). The pressure
relief valve (4) opens when the load pressure exceeds the set value, allowing pump flow to be diverted
back to tank.
In the basic module the compensator (5) maintains a constant pressure drop across the main spool –
both when the load changes and when a module with a higher load pressure is activated.
Shock and suction valves with a fixed setting (7) and the suction valves (8) on ports A and B are used to
protect individual working functions against overload.
In the basic module it is possible to build in an adjustable LS pressure relief valve (6) to limit the pressure
from each working function.
The LS pressure limiting valve saves energy:
Without LS pressure limiting valve all the oil flow to the working function will be led across the
combined shock and suction valves to tank if the pressure exceeds the fixed setting of the valves.
With LS pressure limiting valve an oil flow of only about 2 l/min [0.5 US gal/min] will be led across the
LS pressure limiting valve to tank if the pressure exceeds the valve setting.
PVG 120 with PVP Closed Center
In the closed center version an orifice (9) has been fitted instead of the plug. This means that the pressure
adjustment spool (2) will only open to tank when the pressure in channel P exceeds the pressure relief
valve setting (4).
In load sensing systems the load pressure is led to the pump regulator via the LS connection (10), so the
orifices (11) have been removed, and a plug (12) has been fitted instead of one of the orifices.
In neutral position the pump regulator will set the displacement so that leakage in the system is just
compensated for.
When a main spool is activated, the pump regulator will adjust the displacement so that the set
differential pressure between P and LS is maintained.
The pressure relief valve (4) in PVP is set for a pressure of about 30 bar [435 psi] above maximum system
pressure (set at the pump or an external pressure relief valve).
If the system or the pump regulation has a pressure relief valve, it is possible to use a PVPV pump side
module, without integrated pressure adjustment spool and pressure relief valve.

All types of control valves (incl. proportional valves) can fail, thus the necessary protection against the
serious consequences of function failure should always be built into the system. For each application an
assessment should be made for the consequences of pressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked
movements. To determine the degree of protection that is required to be built into the application,
system tools such an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) and Hazard and Risk Analysis can be used.
FMEA – IEC EN 61508
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) is a tool used for analyzing potential risks. This analytical
technique is utilized to define, identify, and prioritize the elimination or reduction of known and/or
potential failures from a given system before it is released for production. Please refer to the standard IEC
FMEA 61508.
Hazard and risk analysis ISO 12100-1/14121
This analysis is a tool used in new applications as it will indicate whether there are special safety
considerations to be met according to the machine directives EN 13849. Dependent on the determined
levels conformity this analysis will detirmine if any extra requirements for the product design,
development process, production process or maintenance, example the complete product life cycle.
W
Warning
All brands and all types of directional control or proportional valves, which are used in many different
operation conditions and applications, can fail and cause serious damage.
Analyze all aspects of the application. The machine builder/system integrator alone is responsible for
making the final selection of the products and assuring that all performance, safety and warning
requirements of the application are met. The process of choosing the control system and safety levels is
governed by the machine directives EN 13849 (Safety related requirements for control systems).

PVEH, proportional high
PVEH adjusts the main spool position so that it corresponds to an electrical control signal – for example
from a remote control unit.
The control signal (set-point signal) is converted into a hydraulic pressure which moves the main spool.
The position of the main spool is converted in the positional transducer (C) to an electric signal (feed-
back signal). This signal is registered by the electronics.
The variation between the set-point signal and feed-back signal actuates the solenoid valves, thus the
hydraulic pressure moves the main spool into the correct position.

PVEH, Inductive Transducer (LVDT – Linear Variable Differential Transformer)
When the main spool is moved a voltage is induced proportional to the spool position. The use of LVDT
gives contact-free (proximity) registration of the main spool position. This means an extra-long working
life and no limitation as regards the type of hydraulic fluid used. In addition, LVDT gives a precise position
signal of high resolution.

PVEH, Pulse Width Modulation (Integrated)
Positioning of the main spool in PVEH is based on the pulse width modulation principle. As soon as the
main spool reaches the required position, modulation stops and the spool is locked in position.
PVEH fault monitoring
A fault monitoring system is provided in all PVEA, PVEH and PVES modules.
The system is available in two versions:
The active fault monitoring type, which provides a warning signal, deactivates the solenoid valves
and drives the spool in neutral.
The passive fault monitoring type, which provides a warning signal only.
Both active and passive fault monitoring systems are triggered by three main events:
1. Input signal monitoring – The input signal voltage is continuously monitored. The permissible
range is between 15% and 85% of the supply voltage. Outside this range the section will switch into
an active error state.
2. Transducer supervision – If one of the wires to the LVDT sensor is broken or short-circuited, the
section will switch into an active error state.
3. Supervision of the closed loop – The actual position must always correspond to the demanded
position (input signal). If the actual spool position is further than the demanded spool position
(>12%, PVEA: >25%), the system detects an error and will switch into an active error state. On the
other hand, a situation where the actual position is closer to neutral than that demanded will not
cause an error state. This situation is considered “in control”.When an active error state occurs, the
fault monitoring logic will be triggered.
Active fault monitoring:
A delay of 500 ms (PVEA: 750 ms) before anything happens.
The solenoid valve bridge will be disabled and all solenoid valves will be released.
An alarm signal is sent out through the appropriate pin connection.
This state is memorized and continues until the system is actively reset (by turning off the supply
voltage).
Passive fault monitoring:
A delay of 250 ms (PVEA: 750 ms) before anything happens.
The solenoid valve bridge will not be disabled but still control the main spool position.
An alarm signal is sent out through the appropriate pin connection.
This state is not memorized. When the erroneous state disappears, the alarm signal will turn to
passive again. However, the signal will always be active for a minimum of 100 ms when triggered.
To prevent the electronics from going into an undefined state, a general supervision of the power supply
and the internal clock frequency is made. This function applies to PVEH - and will not activate fault
monitoring:
1. High supply voltage – The solenoid valves are disabled when the supply voltage exceeds 36 V, and
the main spool will return/stay in neutral.
2. Low supply voltage – The solenoid valves are disabled when the supply voltage falls below 8.5 V,
and the main spool will return/stay in neutral.
3. Internal clock – The solenoid valves are disabled when the internal clock frequency fails, and the
main spool will return/stay in neutral.
The fault monitoring does not work if the supply voltage to PVEH is cut off - for example by a neutral
position switch. When using PVEH with passive fault monitoring it is up to the customer to decide on
the degree of safety required for the system (See Safety in Application for more information about
different degrees of safety).

Hydraulic fluids for PVG
Oils
The main duty of the oil in a hydraulic system is to transfer energy; but it must also lubricate the moving
parts in hydraulic components, protect them against corrosion, and transport dirt particles and heat out
of the system. It is therefore important to choose the correct oil with the correct additives. This gives
problem-free operation and long working life.
Mineral oils
Danfoss Power Solutions recommends for systems with PVG 120 valves to use mineral-based hydraulic
oils containing additives: Type H-LP (DIN 51524) or HM (ISO 6743/4).
Non-flammable fluids
Phosphate-esters (HFDR fluids) can be used without special precautions. However, dynamic seals must be
replaced with FPM (Viton) seals. Please contact the Danfoss Power Solutions Sales Organisation if the PVG
120 valve is to be used with phosphate-esters.
The following fluids should only be used according to agreement with the Danfoss Power Solutions Sales
Organisation:
Water-glycol mixtures (HFC fluids)
Water-oil emulsions (HFB fluids)
Oil-water emulsions (HFAE fluids)
Biodegradable fluids
PVG 120 valves can be used in systems using rape-seed oil. The use of rape-seed oil is conditional on:
it complying with the demands on viscosity, temperature and filtration, etc.
the operating conditions being adapted to the recommendations of the oil supplier.
Before using other biodegradable fluids, please consult the Danfoss Power Solutions Sales Organisation.
Particle Content, Degree of Contamination
Oil filtration must prevent the particle content from exceeding an acceptable level, i.e. an acceptable
degree of contamination.
Maximum contamination for PVG 120 is 23/19/16 (see ISO 4406).
Calibration in accordance with the ACFTD method.
In our experience a degree of contamination of 23/19/16 can be maintained by using a filter fineness as
described in the next section.
Filtering
Effective filtration is the most important precondition in ensuring that a hydraulic system performs
reliably and has a long working life. Filter manufacturers issue instructions and recommendations. It is
advisable to follow them.
System filters
Where demands for safety and reliability are very high a pressure filter with bypass and indicator is
recommended. Experience shows that a 10 µm nominal filter (or finer) or a 20 µm absolute filter (or finer)
is suitable.
It is our experience that a return filter is adequate in a purely mechanically operated valve system.
The fineness of a pressure filter must be selected as described by the filter manufacturer so that a particle
level of 23/19/16 is not exceeded. See Particle content, degree of contamination for more information.

Danfoss | March 2017 520L0356 | BC00000040en_US1002
The filter must be fitted with pressure gauge or dirt indicator to make it possible to check the condition of
the filter.
In systems with differential cylinders or accumulators the return filter must be sized to suit the max.
return oil flow. Pressure filters must be fitted to suit max. pump oil flow.
Internal filters
The filters built into PVG 120 are not intended to filter the system but to protect important components
against large particles.
Such particles can appear in the system as a result of pump damage, hose fracture, use of quick-
couplings, filter damage, starting up, contamination, etc.
The filter that protects the pilot supply in the tank side module has a mesh of 125 µm. It is obtainable as a
spare part and is easy to replace.
The filter protecting the essential PVE parts has a mesh of 125 µm.
