Functional description

Functional description

The control block SB23-EHS1 consists of: ▼▼ SB23-EHS1

▶▶ Subplate
▶▶ 1 to 5 directional valves (> 5 directional valves 8 9 1 2 1 2 3 4
on request)
–– Control valves SB23-EHS1
–– High-response valve EHR23-EM2
▶▶ 3 tie rods
▶▶ End plate

The SB23-EHS1 is a pilot operated, electro-hydraulically

actuated directional valve with 4 switching positions.
The control spool is controlled via a 4/3 pilot control valve
that pressurizes the actuating chambers to move the con-
trol spool. The movement of the control spool is returned 11 7 4 6 5 10
to the control electronics with a position transducer. The
electronics then control the control spool position via the ▼▼ SB23-EHS1 with 1 isolator valve
pilot control valve current, depending on the com-
mand value. 8 9 1 2 2 3
The mechanically controlled isolator valves in the two
actuator ports act as check valves in the supply.
Load compensation in the supply is carried out via the
individual pressure compensator.
The electronics are used for position control and communi-
cation with the CAN bus. They are equipped with a diagno-
sis function.

General information on the CAN control

The EHS valve can be easily actuated via the serial CAN
interface. Using a message, the operating modes "neutral",
"lifting", "lowering", "release" and the flow command value
can be set. Using a second message, characteristic curve
form, characteristic curve rise and ramp times may be set
separately for "lifting" and "lowering". At the same time, the
valve can report any errors in detail to the superior operat-
ing unit using the error code.
Furthermore, the valve can be permanently reprogrammed
using the parameterization messages (CAN baud rate and
identifier, battery voltage limits, valve number, etc.).

General CAN settings

Standard setting
Baud rate 250 kBaud, up to ≤ 1 MBaud is possible
Scanning Single scan
Scan time At ¾ of the bit length
Synchronization edges Only edges from recessive to dominant
Size of synchronization steps SJW = 1 BTL cycles

Notice
The maximum baud rate has to be always tested in the
vehicle and is determined by:
▶▶ Data traffic in the bus
▶▶ Efficiency of the internal hardware identifier filter
which is determined by e.g.
–– Assignment of CAN identifiers that do not concern
the valves
–– CAN identifier set, see TKU: Electrics interface
