The directional valves are proportional valves according to The pressure compensator (3) regulates pressure changes

ers remains constant, including with varying loads.

Pressure compensator In the main spool central position there is no connection

from P to the consumer ports A and B. Pump pressure
▼▼ Main spool in central position shifts the compensator spool (1) to the left against the
A B spring (2) in this operating condition.
When the main spool (3) (= metering orifice) is actuated, the
LS pressure reaches the spring chamber (4) and shifts the
T T pressure compensator spool to the right into the control
X position. The flow is also kept constant in parallel operation
of consumers with different load pressures.
The pressure compensator S is equipped with load holding
P function. This function is not free of leakage oil.
LSP It is equipped with a disc (5) as standard. The number of
discs fitted depends on the required flow.

On-board electronics: Electronic pilot module (EPM)
▼▼ Electronic pilot module EPM2 Features

Time functions (ramp functions), characteristic curve form
and increase can be configured or changed directly via the
CAN bus during the working cycle. Various diagnostic func-
tions monitor the correct functioning of the pilot module.
The following are monitored in the basic version:
▶▶ The correct receipt of a valid setpoint signal
▶▶ Stability of the connection to the transmitter
▶▶ Compliance with the defined limits of the supply voltage
▶▶ Function of the pilot valves (short circuit, cable break)
Malfunctions are displayed externally via a visible light-emit-

ting diode (LED) (1) displayed in the form of an error code
1 (flashing code) on the housing.
The CAN bus version transfers the error code in the pilot
module status telegram to the open loop control, which can
evaluate it.
▶▶ Low wiring costs with CAN wiring as a result of the

M4 configurator
M4 configurator
The M4 configurator is available online. It helps to efficiently

utilize the flexibility and versatility of the valve right from the
design and engineering phase for new machines. This user-
friendly and intuitive program asks systematic questions
about the specific requirements for the system. It then
assembles the corresponding control block from individual
components. Technical data sheets, parts lists, schematics,
and both 2D and 3D information are instantly available and
speed up the development process for the machine.
The M4 configurator is linked to the Bosch Rexroth eShop.
The order of the configured control block can be placed
immediately.
