Contains commands for reading, writing and modifying parameters. Takes you directly to the help for the current topic, or to the contents page of the BODAC windows help. NOTES: Note that set external command values are added to the internal command values of the profiles. If the external command value is turned off, only the parameterized internal set point always remains as the input for the controller. The analog inputs are all differential inputs. Note: If the differential inputs are used both connections of the differential input have to be switched ON or OFF simultaneously. Contacts used for this have to be suitable for currents< 1mA. Voltage (b14/b16) Here the range for the external setpoint (Voltage input b14/b16) is defined. RE 30126-01-B/08.07 | Manual Hydraulics | Bosch Rexroth AG 19/76 Application: Valve control for the 4WRE6 / 4WRE10 3 Type By using the mouse to click on the „Type“ field a pull-down menu will open from which the following options can be selected: n +/-10 V The input signal has a range of (–10 V) to (+10 V). n 0~10 V The input signal range is from (0 V) to (+10 V). Further adjustment to the input signals is explained in greater detail in the section “Configure Analog I/O - Inputs“. Current (b22/b24) Type The range for the external setpoint using the Current input (b22/b24) is configured for 4-20 mA and can not be changed. Further adjustment to the input signals is explained in greater detail in the section “Configure Analog I/O - Inputs“. Ramp+ (b6/b8) This value determines the external ramp used to ramp the command signal when the setpoint is a rising edge in positive (Solenoid A) or negative (Solenoid B) direction. Type Clicking on the „TYPE“ entry field opens a pulldown menu containing the following: n 0~10 V An input signal of (0 V) to (+10 V) is expected. n 4~20 mA The current value of the input signal ranges from (4 mA) to (20 mA). For additional configuration of the Ramp+ please refer to Section “Configure Profile” Ramp- (b18/b20) This value determines the external ramp used to ramp the command s ignal when the setpoint is a falling edge in positive (Solenoid A) or negative (Solenoid B) direction. Type Clicking on the „TYPE“ entry field opens a pulldown menu containing the following: n 0~10 V An input signal of (0 V) to (+10 V) is expected. n 4~20 mA The current value of the input signal ranges from (4 mA) to (20 mA). For additional configuration of the Ramp- please refer to Section “Configure Profile” RE 30126-01-B/08.07 | Manual Hydraulics | Bosch Rexroth AG 20/76 Application: Valve control for the 4WRE6 / 4WRE10 3 Configure Analog I/O - Inputs The following parameters can be used to configure the Analog I/O – Inputs: Range Min The value range of the signal in [%] is set in the „Range“ column. If the selection +/10V is made in the „Type“ column a signal of (-10V) corresponds to a signal of (100%) when the range setting is +/-100%. The „Min“ value sets the minimum fort he input signal. Depending on the setting of „Type“ and „Range“ this value is translated to the minimum value of the „Range“ setting. If for example you enter -5V , with Type = +/-10V and Range = +/- 100%, a signal of 5V is interpreted as -100%. Max The „Max“ setting is the opposite of the „Min“. If +9V is entered a signal of +9V is interpreted as 100%. min Fault If the value falls below the entered value, BODAC uses the „Status“ window and the „Status bar“ to indicate that a fault has occurred. Specifying the error response is done in the “Faults” window. max Fault If the value exceeds the entered value, BODAC uses the „Status“ window and the „Status bar“ to indicate that a fault has occured. Specifying the error response is done in the “Faults ” window. max Unit The „max Unit“ specifies the conversion from Range [%] to Units [Unit]. Fields that can not be modified are grayed-out.

We can use either a parameter called „Gamma“ (Type 1) or linearization table (Type 2). Fig. 12 shows the window if 2 is selected from the pull down menu „Type“. Fig. 11 „Command Adjustment“ window with Cureve correction Type 2 Curve correction – Type 1 The Curve correction entry field Type 1 („Gamma“) is used to correct a non linear curve of the valve. The values for “Gamma” lie between 0 and 100, whereby a setting of 100 does not affect the variable and 0 represents the maximum adjustment. In the following example („Plot Gamma“), 3 curves are shown. The blue curve “LO1” represents a Gamma entered value of 100, the brown curve „OUT2“ is set to the Gamma entered value 90, and the red curve “OUT1” has a Gamma value of 50.

Overlap compensation is used for linearizing of valves with a positive overlap. This will correct the control value (valve setpoint). The value in the entryfield Step +/Step – is added to the control value. The step can be specified differently depending on the sign of the control value. If this control value lies within the „Deadband“ a value is output which closes the overlapped valve in defined fashion if Step +/Step – has been correctly selected.

The “Range” column is where you enter the signal value range in [%]. A signal of (10V) for a range setting of ±100% corresponds to a signal of (-100%). The relationship is shown in the graphic below Min Max The “Min” setting is used to limit the minimum input signal to a value you determine within the type range (±10 V). For example, a value of (-5 V) means the signal (-5 V) is interpreted as (-100%) range (see Fig. 41 Analog I/O - Input adjustments). The “Max” setting is the opposite of “Min”. For example, a value of (+9 V) means the signal (+9 V) is interpreted as (+100%) range (see Fig. 41 Analog I/O - Input adjus tments). Min fault The setting for the value “Min Error” is used to specify the minimum error. When the signal falls below this entered value, BODAC uses the “Status” window to indicate that a fault has occurred if the fault is activated in the “Faults” window. Max fault The setting for the value „Max Error” is used to specify the maximum error.

Modem Port With the “Modeml Port“ entry field the user specifies which serial port of the PC is used to communicate with the controller card using a modem connection. Timeout The “Timeout“ field is the delay for “Cable break” detection by BODAC. This value should be at least 1500 ms. Phone Number to Dial The “Phone Number to Dial” field is used to enter the phone number of the remote modem. Modem Initialization Commands AT commands are stringssent to the modem connected to the PC to configure it before dialing. There is a basic command set, the Hayes Command Set, that most modems have implemented (For more information refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes_command_set ). For specific information regarding commands that are used in your modem please refer to the modem manufacturer documentation. At a minimum the modem codes should be set to numeric(ATV0) and the results codes should be set to 0(ATX0). Opens a file with previously saved Modem Initialization Commands Saves the Modem Initialization Commands listed in the window. Fig. 33 Modem configuration Configuration of the modems In order to communicate successfully both the local and remote modems need to be configurated. The VRPD communicates at a defined baud rate; therefore the modem connected to the VRPD must be configured to communicate at the VRPD baud rate.Setting of the baud rate that matches the VT- VRPD baud rate can be achieved using dipswitches or AT commands depending on the modem being used (For details regarding setting of the modem baud rate please refer to the modem documentation) Local Modem connection: With an external modem a standard serial cable is used. The local modem must be set to return numeric results (Hayes Command ATV0) and basic results codes (Hayes Command ATX0). Depending on the modem used this can either be accomplished through dip switches on the modem or through the use of Hayes Commands. RE 30126-01-B/08.07 | Manual Hydraulics | Bosch Rexroth AG 55/76 BODAC – Menu Description 5 Remote Modem connection: The external remote modem must be able to answer incoming calls.The connection between the remote m odem and the VT-VRPD card must be a NULL modem cable. The remote modem must be configured to auto answer an incoming call (Hayes Command ATS0=1 => sets auto answer to 1 ring). The remote modem DTR (Date Terminal Ready) should be set to override (Hayes Command AT&D0), because otherwise the modem will not answer since the VT-VRPD does not control the DTR line. NULL modem cable Signal Name DB-9 Pin DB-9 pIN Signal Name TD (Transmit Data) 3 - 2 RD RD (Receive Data) 2 - 3 TD SG (Signal Ground) 5 - 5 SG It is recommended that a Winview recording is used when monitoring actual signals. The communication speed due to the modem connection is not fast enough to get the required resolution. Establishing the connection using this method will take some. After the connection is established BODAC can be used as if there were a direct serial connection to the card although the communication rate is significantly lower.
