    1) Digital hydraulic valves have advantages over analog valves like reduced wiring costs, greater functionality, increased flexibility, and simplified setup. 2) Moog's Digital Interface Valve (DIV) uses a 32-bit microprocessor to close control loops and provide extensive monitoring, fault detection, and communication capabilities. 3) The DIV supports decentralized and centralized system architectures. Decentralized architectures reduce installation costs and improve flexibility.

    cus on the application. The DIV fits well into both centralized and decentralized systems. One benefit of decentralized architecture is that serial wiring to each component replaces parallel wiring. Serial wiring reduces installation and connection costs. It also enhances flexibility because systems can be changed or extended easily. Tasks of subsystems are assigned to local devices, reducing the complexity and required processing power of the main controller. The DIVs embedded digital microprocessor is the foundation for enhanced functionality and flexibility (as compared with its analog counterparts). Configurable valve functions enable users to define the valves dynamic behavior and adapt its characteristics to particular application requirements. Field-programmable functions include four-quadrant demand ramp conditioning, dead band compensation, demand limits, direction dependent gains, and access to valve tuning parameters. Detailed diagnostic status information, available over the digital bus, improves safety and reliability and simplifies maintenance. This information includes programmable control deviation monitoring, vendor name, model numbers and the like. Elimination of external analog demand conditioning boards and simplified P/Q valve setup save cost.
