OPERATING PRINCIPLE

EDM- The EDM-M* card is a digital amplifier for open

loop proportional valves control by a PWM stage.
The card supplies the current to the solenoid
according to the reference signal and
independently of temperature variations or load
impedance.
The card is available in versions for the control of
a single solenoid valve (M1), a double solenoid
valve (M2) and two single solenoid valves (M3) by
two independent channels.
Each version is available with different maximum
current settings and switching frequencies
(PWM), optimized according to the relevant valve.
Card setup via software only, through the
on-board micro USB  port.

On EDM-M*/40*-B the pin 12 duplicates the power supply signal

9 ÷ 32 V from pin 1 so it operates as an auxiliary power supply.
The enable is internal. This is a non-editable and backward-
compatible setting with outdated cards EDM-M series 20.

Controller functions
Power amplifier with current controlled by analogue input signal for
three different applications:
M1: control of 1 single solenoid proportional valve
(e.g. throttle, pressure, directional.)
M2: control of 1 dual solenoid proportional valve
(e.g. directional)
M3: control of 2 single solenoid proportional valves, via 2
independent channels.
▪ The current to solenoid is closed loop controlled, so is
independent from supply and solenoid resistance.
▪ Parameters programmable via software: ramps, PWM frequency,
dither.

Adaptation of the valve characteristic curve

▪ Deadband compensation

4 - EDM-M, DUPLOMATIC VALVES AND DEFAULT SETTINGS
EDM-M card is pre-set at factory. The following table shows the default settings of EDM-M standard versions and the current Duplomatic
valves to be coupled with. Different settings are available upon request.
Curve adaption parameters (point 8.3) permit to scale the current up to 120% of the nominal CURRENT value set.
Cards are tuned by the manufacturer to optimize the performance in accordance with the reference coil selected. Working conditions far from
nominal settings could require advanced tuning. Apply for them at our technical dept.
