Technical Information
General Description
The D3FX Series of proportional directional control
valves provide variable output flow in response to
voltage or current command signals. The valves are
fully integrated units with on-board electronics and a
spool position feedback device.
Operation
The D3FX spool shifts proportionally in either direction
in response to variable command signals; thus provid-
ing the desired output flow. Once the spool reaches
the desired position, the internal LVDT sends a feed-
back signal to the drive amplifier to maintain that
position. The closing of the inner con-trol loop in this
manner results in lower hysteresis and improved
repeatability of the valve. The drive amplifier gives this
valve a frequency response of greater than 20 Hz.
Installation note: Valve should be mounted horizon-
tally. (See Installation Information.)
Features
Integral Electronics — Eliminates the time consuming
and often costly electrical wiring between valve and
driver card. Provides a fully factory tested valve/driver
package.
LVDT — The spool position feedback is located between
the valve body and coil thus allowing access to the
manual overrides.
Electronic LVDT Null — Factory preset. No nulling
required.
Diagnostic Indicator — LEDs indicate the spool
position.
Rugged Construction — Integral electronics packaged
in a rugged die cast aluminum enclosure for protection
from the harsh environments typical in many industrial
applications.
Electrical Interface — Standard MS style connector for
interface to computers and PLC's.

Proportional Directional Control Valves
Series D3FX
d3fx.p65,dd,cm
Functional Description (Version BJ)
Configuration Definition
The D3FX is supplied in two basic configurations —
non-feedback and feedback. Non-feedback refers to
valves having only a command input with any feedback
loop closures made external to the valve. Feedback
refers to valves having input terminals for both com-
mand and feedback and electronics for proportional
loop closure. All the D3FX versions incorporate an
internal spool position feedback.
The non-feedback versions include the European
version (BJ), and the standard version (DJ).
The feedback version (CJ) provides for external
proportional feedback.
Detailed setup instructions can be found in the
Options
and Adjustments
section. Not all jumpers
and potentiometers are functional on every version.
Installation
Refer to the back of the manual for fluid recommenda-
tions, mounting restrictions, and other general installa-
tion instructions.
European Version BJ
The power supply requirement is +24 VDC. A separate
wire is added for chassis grounding. Pin G of the 7 pin
connector is connected internally to the valve body but
isolated from the electronics. An Enable signal is
required at Pin C or the solenoids will remain de-
energized.
The command input accepts either voltage or current
inputs and has differential input capability for noise
immunity and easy reversal of phasing. Output flow is
proportional to the spool position which follows the
adjusted command signal. The spool position may be
observed at TP1 or at Pin F. Reference voltages are
not available.
Deadband eliminators or minimum thresholds are
standard. Refer to the options section or the DJ
version for more detailed information.

External Closed Loop Feedback —
Version CJ
Special Note: The successful design and startup of
either a closed loop positioning or velocity control
system requires considerable forethought and a good
understanding of the dynamics of the system and the
load one is attempting to control. Closed loop feedback
control is a broad topic and far exceeds the scope of
this instruction set. It is the intention of the following
instruction sheet to provide the necessary information
to set-up the D3FX for use in typical closed loop
applications. It is the responsibility of the user to
understand the limitations, hazards, and implications of
closed loop feedback control systems,
as well as detailed tuning procedures required
by some control schemes.
The feedback version also requires a 24 VDC nominal
power supply. It has the option of either a voltage or
current command signal. The feedback signal must be
a voltage signal and can not exceed ±10 VDC. The
feedback signal may have the same or opposite
polarity to the command signal, but must be the same
magnitude as the command signal as there are no
scaling adjustments provided. Reference voltages are
available on pins A & F of the I/O connector for the
command or feedback potentiometer.
The outer loop has proportional feedback. There are
adjustable gains for both flow directions. Minimum
threshold adjustments are available to optimally tune
closed loop positioning systems.

Functional Description (Version DJ)
Standard Driver — Versions DJ and DK
The standard D3FX valve may not, depending on the
load, be electrically symmetrical about the no-flow
condition. Occasionally, (such as when using a PLC
generated signal) it is desirable to equalize the signal
needed for similar flow from P to A and P to B.
Deadband or minimum threshold adjustments are
designed to make the D3FX electrically symmetrical
about the no-flow condition.This is a means of more
easily hydraulically nulling and reducing the no-flow
deadband at the same time.
Should this valve be used in a closed loop positioning
system, deadband adjustments are an effective
method of achieving higher repeatability and accuracy
with a relatively low position loop gain.
This valve requires a 24 VDC nominal power supply. It
has the option of either voltage or current command
signal. Reference voltages are available on the MS
connector for the command or feedback potentiometer.

Spool Position Monitoring
The spool position relative to its zero starting point can
be observed at TP1.
The spool voltage follows the command input after all
adjustments have been made.
LVDT Null
The D3FX valves are hydraulically nulled to a double
rod cylinder. The null should not need adjustment. Try
Min adjustments.
If it appears necessary to null the valve :
Loop port A to port B.
Adjust Min A and Min B fully CCW.
On the C version Max A and Max B should be adjusted
approx halfway with the fdbk input disconnected.
With supply pressure at 500 psi, set command input to
approximately 0 volts.
Slowly increase the command until flow just begins.
Record this setting (+Cmd).
Slowly decrease the command until flow just begins with
a negative input (-Cmd).
Add the magnitude of the two values and then divide by
2. This is the value at which flow should start in either
direction (Start).
If the magnitude of -Cmd was less than +Cmd,
set the input to -Start. Otherwise set the input
to +Start.
Slowly adjust R3 (NULL) until flow just begins.
Options & Adjustments
Reference Voltages (CJ and DJ)
Reference voltages are available for wiring to potenti-
ometers for Cmd or Fdbk inputs. Up to 10 mA current
is available but a 10 K ohm pot is recommended. The
potentiometer can be wired for either a ± voltage or for
a single polarity as shown below. Check wiring before
applying power. Incorrect wiring can result in damage
to the electronics.
Manual Overrides
Manual overrides are a design feature which allow the
user to shift the valve in a system without electrical
power. In the center of each coil there is a brass pin.
Pushing on one of these pins with an allen wrench will
result in flow.
Min Adjustments (All Versions)
Min A and Min B can be adjusted to reduce the
mechanical deadband in the valve.

Options & Adjustments
Min Adjustments (cont.)
To adjust:
Remove Cmd and Fdbk inputs. Bias should be set for
0V.
Apply low hydraulic pressure
Move the switch down to A
Adjust Min A CW until flow just begins
Turn back CCW until flow ceases
Move the switch up to B and repeat with Min B
Move switch to center for Run
Max Flow Adjustments (BJ, DJ)
Max A and Max B can be used to limit or scale flow on
the open loop versions. Potentiometers fully CW results
in maximum spool travel. Fully CCW reduces spool
travel by 30% with JP3 gain and 10% with JP2 gain.
Set the Cmd for maximum input
Adjust the Max pot for the desired flow
Repeat for the opposite flow direction
Adjust Min A and Min B before Max A and Max B.
Max Gain Adjustments (CJ)
The CJ version provides for proportional feedback with
adjustable gains for the A and B solenoids.
Adjust Max A and Max B to approx center.
Connect the inputs. Apply low pressure and verify
phasing is correct.
Disconnect the inputs. Add the Min thresholds.
Once the basic system is operational, the gain
can be adjusted for optimum performance. When the
error signal at TP2 is positive (green LED), adjust Max B
(R101). When the error signal is negative (red LED),
adjust Max A (R102).
Bias (All versions)
The command bias is factory set to 0 VDC. It can
be used with a current input or PLC to provide
bidirectional flow.
To reset the bias to zero:
Disconnect any inputs.
Adjust Max A and Max B about midpoint.
Adjust bias (R1) until TP2 reads zero volts.
Current or PLC Command (All versions)
All versions have a 499 ohm current resistor which
converts 0 to 20 mA 0 to 10 V signal.
(4 to 20 mA 2 to 10 V)
JP1 must be inserted.
4-20 mA or 0-10V inputs can be biased and amplified
for full range on non-feedback versions.
Adjust Max A and B fully CW. Connect Cmd required for
no flow (5 volts for 0-10V input, 12 mA for 4-20 mA
input). Refer to diagram below.
Adjust bias pot R1 until TP2 equals 0 V.
For a gain of X2.5 insert jumper JP2
0-10 V ±12.5V
4-20 mA ±10V
Warning: Adding bias will result in flow when the
command signal is removed. Use the Enable to
remove the drive signal.

Symptom Cause Solution
Instability
Power supply?
Select a power supply not current limited below 4.0 Amps. Use a
separate power supply for each valve. The power supply should be
chassis grounded.
Noise on inputs?
To verify, disconnect input signals to D3FX. Jumper Cmd and Fdbk
terminals to common. For best results use a separate ground wire
for signal inputs and power supply.
Actuator
Min adjustments?
Min adjustments can be adjusted such that the spool cannot stop
Drifting flow and there will be no stable operating point. Remove the Min
adjustments and start over.
System variations?
The valve was hydraulically nulled for a double rod cylinder. In a
closed loop system drift may occur with no inputs connected.
Connect the feedback and make external loop gain adjustment.
Low Flow
Flow limited?
Adjust Max CW for more flow on versions B and D. Correct gain
jumper inserted (JP2 or JP3)? Verify that the command input is
correct.
Floating input?
Both inputs must be connected on B versions.
System pressure?
Verify that the system pressure is set as required and there are no
other flow paths.
No Flow
Power?
Verify there is power to the board and it is wired with the correct
polarity. Verify that the ENABLE signal is present on Version B.
Verify that the connections to the valve subplate are correct. Verify
the hydraulic pump is on.
No Proportional
Phasing?
If Version B or D is connected to an external feedback system,
Control verify open loop operation of valve with a potentiometer. If Version
C, make sure proper feedback jumper (JP4 or JP5) is installed.
Improper system phasing would result in maximum flow output.

Installation Information
FOR MAXIMUM VALVE RELIABILITY,
ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Fluid Recommendations
Premium quality mineral based hydraulic oil with a
viscosity range between 150-250 SSU (32-54 cst.) at
38°C (100°F) is recommended. The absolute operation
viscosity range is from 75-600 SSU (15-130 cst.). Oil
should have maximum anti-wear properties and rust
and oxidation treatment.
Filtration
For maximum valve and system component life, the
system should be protected from contamination at a
level not to exceed 125 particles greater than 10
microns per milliliter of fluid. (SAE Class 4 or better /
ISO Code 16/13).
Silting
Silting can cause any sliding spool valve to stick, and
not spring return, if held shifted under pressure for
long periods of time. The valve should be cycled
periodically to prevent sticking.
Special Installations
Consult your Parker representative for any application
requiring the following :
Pressure above rated.
Fluid other than those specified.
Synthetic or fire-resistant fluids.
Oil temperature above 71.1°C (160°F).
Flow path other than normal.
Non-standard power supply grounding.
Torque Specifications
The recommended torque values are for the bolts
which mount the valve to the manifold or subplate are
as follows:
NFPA Bolt Thread Size
Size Metric English Torque
D05 M6 1/4 - 20 16.1 Nm
(12 ft.-lbs.)
Mounting Restriction
In order to ensure proper operation, the D3FX must be
mounted horizontally. If the valve is mounted vertically,
a check valve with a minimum rating of
1.4 Bar (20 PSI) should be placed in the tank line to
maintain back pressure to the valve.
Tank Line Surges
If several valves are piped with a common tank line,
flow surges in the line may cause an unexpected spool
shift. Separate tank lines should be used when line
surges are expected.
