3 Overview of the pilot-controlled proportional pressure

reducing valves (Z)3DRE(E,A)
3.1 General information
The valves of this valve family are electrically pilot-controlled 3-way pressure reducing valves with
pressure limitation of the actuator. They are used for reducing a system pressure. The valves are
parameterized in accordance with the ordering codes ex works and delivered fully functional. For
optimum adaptation to the hydraulic use of the valve, the "easy2connect" smartphone app, which is
available free of charge, can be used to optimize the parameter setting of the valve (e.g. setting the
pressure control).
The more precise hydraulic functionality of the valve can be taken from the "data sheet
29283".
3.2 Valve types

The following valve types are differentiated in the valve family of pilot-controlled proportional pressure
reducing valves:
• (Z)3DREE
• (Z)3DREA with external pressure sensor
• (Z)3DREA with integrated pressure sensor
3.2.1 (Z)3DREE

Solenoid
Fig. 1: Overview_(Z)3DREE
On the proportional solenoid, there is the digital on-board electronics (OBED). This is equipped with
one of the following electrical interfaces, via which the command and actual values are exchanged
digitally or analogously with a higher-level control:
• Digital interface L1, IO-Link (connector XH5)
• Analog interface (connector XH1)
– Interface "A1", (command value and actual value 0 ... 10 V)
– Interface "F1", (command value and actual value 4 ... 20 mA)
The pressure command value obtained from the higher-level control is converted in the on-board
electronics into a current command value corresponding to the pressure. This current command value
is preset and regulated as a control value for the proportional solenoid. The predetermined pressure
command value is thus set as the actual pressure value.
3.2.2 (Z)3DREA with external pressure sensor

Over the two coordinates x1, y1 (lower limit: signal range, value range) and x2, y2 (upper limit: signal
range, value range) a straight equation is defined. The voltage or current signal currently present at the
analog command value input is converted into the corresponding pressure command value in bar via
this straight equation.

Maximum adjustable signal range

As a result of the electronics of the pressure valve, the maximum adjustable signal range of the analog
command value input (lower and upper limit) is limited to certain values which can be taken from the
following table.
Command value input configured Maximum adjustable signal range
as Lower limit Upper limit
Voltage (A1) -0.5 V 10.5 V
Current (F1) 3.2 mA 20.8 mA

Edition 01
28 / 112 3DRE(E)(A), Z3DRE(E)(A)
Signal monitoring of the command value input (version F1)

In the case of valves which are delivered ex works in version F1, the current signal read in by the
command value input is automatically checked for cable break (-> undercurrent), signal overflow (->
over-current) and overload.
If a cable break or overload has been detected, the pressure command value is set to the value 0 bar
as error reaction and the corresponding error bit is set. When a signal is exceeded, only the associated
error bit is set, the pressure command value is not affected.
Once the error case has been fixed, the pressure command value is restored to normal. This does not
require manual intervention, such as acknowledging the error.
Signal thresholds for cable break, signal exceedance and overload:
The following table shows from which signal threshold a cable break, a signal exceedance or an
overload is detected and automatically acknowledged.
Command Cable break Signal exceedance Overload
value input Identification Acknowledg- Identification Acknowledg- Identification Acknowledg-
configured as ment ment ment
Current (F1) < 3.3 mA ³ 3.6 mA > 20.3 mA £ 20.3 mA > 30 mA 0 mA
The monitoring for cable break, signal exceedance and overload is only active if the signal
range of the command value input (lower and upper limit) is set according to the following
table.
Command value input configured Maximum adjustable signal range
as Lower limit Upper limit
Current (F1) ³ 3.6 mA £ 20.3 mA

5.2 Backup/Restore
IO-Link has a data storage function that makes it easy to swap a device. In this case, certain objects
of the device are linked to the data storage mechanism and these are stored within the IO-Link master
used.
Up to 2048 bytes of object data can be stored per device in the IO-Link master. A checksum is formed
over all objects in order to be able to detect changes in the device. In the event of a change, all data
storage objects can be automatically reloaded into the device during the IO-Link start-up depending on
the configuration in the IO-Link master.
If objects in the device are modified manually, for example, via a Bluetooth connection, a command for
updating the data storage objects can be sent to the IO-Link master (data storage upload request). If
the master receives this command, the master can read and save again all objects linked to the data
storage mechanism, if configured appropriately.
If the user wants to trigger a data storage backup themselves, the command can also be trig-
gered by the IO-Link master (system command "ParamDownloadStore"). The command parameter
"P-0-1910.0.3, Data storage upload request" can be used to start the command via the Bluetooth
connection. If this value is set to "0x3", a data storage backup is requested in the IO-Link device.
As soon as the master has performed the data storage backup, the command parameter is reset to
the value "0". The list of objects associated with the data storage mechanism can be read from the
IO-Link master during the start-up via "Index 0x0003, Subindex 0x05, Index_List" in the device. The
checksum of the data storage objects can be read from the device via "Index 0x0003, Subindex 0x04,
Parameter_Checksum".
6 Pressure sensor / Actual pressure value detection

6.1 Overview
In the case of the pressure valves under closed-loop pressure control, the actual pressure value is
detected depending on the valve type via an internal pressure sensor which is permanently installed in
the valve ex works or via an external pressure sensor which is connected to the valve on the customer
side via the interface XN2.
6.2 Internal pressure sensor

For pressure valves with internal pressure sensor, a pressure sensor is installed permanently ex works
to match the nominal pressure of the valve. The pressure sensor installed in the valve supplies a voltage
signal in the range of 0.1 to 10 V.

6.3 External pressure sensor – interface X2N

In the case of pressure valves with the connection possibility of an external pressure sensor, this can be
effected via the interface X2N. A sensor can be used as an external pressure sensor, where the actual
pressure value is given as a voltage signal (0 ... 10 V) or as a current signal (4 ...20 mA).

The exact electrical specification of the pressure sensor interface X2N can be found in the
corresponding "data sheet".
6.4 Actual pressure value detection

The actual pressure value is detected as a voltage signal in valves with an internal pressure sensor, since
a corresponding sensor is permanently installed ex works. In the case of valves with the connection
possibility of an external pressure sensor, the actual pressure value is read in as a voltage or current
signal depending on the sensor type used by the customer. In the OBED, the read-in voltage or the
read-in current is converted into a corresponding actual pressure value. This progress of the actual
pressure value detection is shown in the following figure.

The conversion of the voltage or current signal of the analog actual pressure value into V or mA into the
corresponding actual pressure value in bar is activated via the activation bit.
Conversion of the analog actual pressure value (V or mA) into an actual pressure value (bar)
In the following, it is shown in detail how the conversion of the voltage or current signal of the analog
actual pressure value into V or mA into the corresponding actual pressure value into bar takes place in
principle.

Over the two points x1, y1 (lower limit: signal range, value range) and x2, y2 (upper limit: signal range,

Maximum adjustable signal range:
As a result of the electronics of the pressure valve, the maximum adjustable signal range of the pressure
sensor (lower and upper limit) is limited to certain values which can be taken from the following table.
Pressure sensor interface Maximum adjustable signal range
Lower limit Upper limit
Voltage -0.5 V 10.5 V
Current 3.2 mA 20.8 mA
Pressure sensor signal monitoring

Ex works, the voltage or current signal read in by the pressure sensor is automatically monitored for
cable break (-> undervoltage or current) or signal overrun (-> overvoltage or current). The current
signal is additionally tested for overload.

3DRE(E)(A), Z3DRE(E)(A) 47 / 112
If a cable break or overload has been detected, as an error reaction, the actual pressure value is set
to the value 0 bar and the pressure controller is switched off. Thus, the valve automatically changes
to open-loop pressure control mode. Furthermore, the error bit is set in accordance with the detected
signal error. As soon as the error case is no longer active, the actual pressure value is automatically

regenerated and the closed-loop pressure control activated.
In the event of a signal exceedance, no error reaction takes place; only a corresponding error bit is set.
Signal thresholds for cable break, signal exceedance and overload:
The following table shows from which signal threshold a cable break, a signal exceedance or an
overload is detected and automatically acknowledged.

"data sheet" are achieved during the closed-loop pressure control.
7 Controller structure (Z)3DREE

7.1 Overview
There is no pressure sensor in the pressure valve type (Z)3DREE. Thus, in this valve type closed-loop
pressure control is not possible but only open-loop pressure control. The rough controller structure for
this valve type is shown below.

The pressure command value is cyclically preset to the valve. Depending on the valve type, this takes
place either digitally via the process data (PDout) of the IO-Link interface or as an analog voltage or
current signal via the A1 or F1 interface.

The settings of the pressure command value preparation (ramps and filters) are parameter set
dependent. This means that the settings (ramps and filters) are adjusted depending on the currently
active parameter set.
Detailed information about the command value preparation can be found in ⮫ Chapter 7.2 “Pressure
command value preparation” on page 51.
Solenoid current actual value filtration

The filtration of the actual current value measured internally in the pressure valve is currently fixed and
cannot be changed.
Solenoid current controller

The solenoid current controller is realized as a PI controller with feedforward control. The solenoid
current controller calculates the associated control value for the solenoid of the pressure valve from the
effective pressure command value predetermined by the command value preparation and the current
solenoid current actual value.
Detailed information on the solenoid current controller can be found in ⮫ Chapter 7.3 “Solenoid
current controller” on page 53.

Parameter set
The pressure valve is supplied with 4 parameter sets, so that the settings for the command value

0 Small dead volume
1 Large dead volume
2 User-defined 1 (with small dead volume pre-parameterized ex works)
3 User-defined 2 (with large dead volume pre-parameterized ex works)
In the case of the pressure valve with digital IO-Link interface, the active parameter set is preset
cyclically via the process data (PDout).
In the case of the pressure valve with an analog A1 or F1 interface, the parameter set 1 "Large dead
volume" is set ex works. This can be reconfigured via the "easy2connect" smartphone app.
For application-specific adaptation, it is intended to use parameter sets 2 and 3 first.
Valve on
The output of the control value of the solenoid current controller on the solenoid is only effected when
the "valve on" bit is set. By setting this bit, the output stage of the valve is activated, via which the
solenoid is actuated with the corresponding control value.
In the case of the pressure valve with digital IO-Link interface, the "valve on" bit is cyclically predeter-
mined via the process data (PDout). This means that the bit must be set via IO-Link in order to activate
the output of the control value of the solenoid current controller on the magnet.
In the case of the pressure valve with an analog A1 or F1 interface, the "valve on" bit is set ex works,
so that after the pressure valve is switched on, the output of the control value of the solenoid current
controller to the solenoid takes place immediately.

In the "easy2connect" smartphone app, the settings for the pressure command value preparation and
for the solenoid current controller can be adjusted in the "Controller" screen.

The predetermined pressure command value can be smoothened via a PT1 filter whose filter frequency
can be adjusted. The filter frequency is also parameter set dependent.

Pressure command value for solenoid current controller

If closed-loop pressure control is activated, the solenoid current controller receives the control value of
the pressure controller as a command value. In the other case, the pressure command value which is
predetermined by the command value preparation acts directly.
With a pressure valve without a pressure sensor, closed-loop pressure control is not possible.
In this case, the solenoid current controller always receives the command value directly from
the command value preparation.
Pressure/current curve
The pressure command value transferred to the solenoid current controller is converted into the
corresponding solenoid current command value via the pressure/current characteristic.
Solenoid current command value correction

The valve is set ex works over the complete pressure range (→ 0 bar to the nominal pressure of the
valve) for the volume flow specified in the valve data sheet. An optimum adaptation to the actual volume
flow and compensation of the aging of the pressure valve can be effected via the command value
correction by means of a factor and offset.
Solenoid current controller (PI controller with feedforward control)

The actual solenoid current controller is realized as a PI controller with feedforward control. The
solenoid current controller is set for the valve ex works, meaning that the customer is not required to
make any settings.
Dither frequency factor

The control value of the solenoid current controller is output at a superimposed dither frequency to the
magnet of the pressure valve. The dither frequency for the pressure valve is set ex works so that the two
following conditions are optimally met:

3DRE(E)(A), Z3DRE(E)(A) 55 / 112
• The dither has as little influence as possible on the amplitude of the actual pressure value.
• A corresponding dynamic of the valve is achieved.
The dither frequency can be adjusted via the factor in such a way that the pressure valve is optimized in
response to one of the conditions:
• Increasing the dynamics of the valve by a smaller dither frequency (→ factor < 1), which results in
a higher pressure amplitude.
• Reduction of the actual pressure value amplitude (→ factor > 1), which results in a worse dynamic

of the valve.
Ex works, the factor is set to 1.
A change to the dither frequency should only be made after consultation with the Bosch
Rexroth service department.

Pressure controller
The pressure controller is realized as a PI controller with active damping and feedforward control. The
pressure controller can be easily set by using a slider.
The pressure controller calculates the corresponding control value from the effective pressure com-
mand value predetermined by the command value preparation and the actual pressure value currently
detected. When the closed-loop pressure control is activated, this control value is supplied to the
solenoid current controller. The settings of the pressure controller are parameter set dependent. This
means that the settings are used depending on the active parameter set.
Detailed information about the pressure controller can be found in ⮫ Chapter 8.4 “Closed-loop

Solenoid current actual value filtration

The filtration of the actual current value measured internally in the pressure valve is currently fixed and

The solenoid current controller is realized as a PI controller with feedforward control. The solenoid
current controller receives the control value of the pressure controller as the command value when the
closed-loop pressure control is activated. In the other case, the command value which is predetermined

In the case of the pressure valve with an analog A1 or F1 interface, the parameter set 1 "Small dead

For application-specific adaptation, it is intended to use parameter sets 2 and 3 first.
Closed-loop pressure control on

The pressure controller of the valve is only active if the "closed-loop pressure control on" bit is also set.

Otherwise, the valve is in "open-loop pressure control" mode. In the case of the pressure valve with
digital IO-Link interface, the "closed-loop pressure control on" bit is cyclically predetermined via the
process data (PDout).
This means that the bit must be set via IO-Link for the pressure controller to be active. In the case of
the pressure valve with an analog A1 or F1 interface, the "closed-loop pressure control on" bit is set ex
works, so that the pressure controller is activated immediately after the pressure valve is switched on.
Valve on
The output of the control value of the solenoid current controller on the solenoid is only effected when
the "valve on" bit is set. By setting this bit, the output stage of the valve is activated, via which the
solenoid is actuated with the corresponding control value.
In the case of the pressure valve with digital IO-Link interface, the "valve on" bit is cyclically predeter-

Pressure sensor cable break

If a cable break of the pressure sensor is detected, the switch-over into open-loop pressure control
takes place if closed-loop pressure control is currently active. As soon as the cable break is no longer
present, the closed-loop pressure control is again automatically activated.

In the "easy2connect" smartphone app, the settings for the pressure command value preparation,

Filtration
The actual pressure value detected via the internal or external pressure sensor is smoothened via a

between 10 Hz and 200 Hz.
By increasing the filter frequency, better dynamics in the closed-loop pressure control can be achieved
if the hydraulic conditions for this are fulfilled (e.g. small dead volume).
From the factory, the filter frequency is set as a compromise for the various applications of the
pressure valve (e.g. small dead volume, large dead volume).

• Limitation
Feedforward control
With feedforward control (command value feedforward), the current pressure command value flows
into closed-loop control as a percentage. In this way, the pressure control deviation is minimized.

3DRE(E)(A), Z3DRE(E)(A) 65 / 112
Feedforward control of the pressure controller is optimally set ex works for the pressure reducing valve
according to the nominal pressure. A customer setting is therefore not currently provided.
PI controller with switching integrator

With the PI controller, the P and I-gains can be set.
The PI controller integrator is automatically switched off if the following condition is met:
(output pressure controller-filtered actual pressure value) > Switch-off threshold Integrator * Nominal

pressure dependent switch-off threshold
Nominal value of pressure valve Nominal pressure dependent switch-off threshold
50 bar 10 bar
100 bar 10 bar
200 bar 14 bar
315 bar 22 bar
The integrator of the PI controller is automatically activated again if the above condition is no longer
fulfilled.
Whether the I-term of the control value of the pressure controller is to be frozen or deleted
during the switching off of the integrator is set via the control word of the pressure controller.
Active damping
In the pressure controller, within the framework of active damping, the change in the actual pressure
value (→ velocity) is fed back to closed-loop control with a scaling factor in order to achieve a better
controller behavior. The gain of the active damping and of the I-term can be parameterized.
Slider
With the aid of the slider, the controller behavior of the pressure controller can be easily set between
moderate, balanced and aggressive. When the slider is pressed, the corresponding values for the
following 4 parameters of the pressure controller are calculated at the same time:
• PI controller P-gain
• PI controller I-gain
• Active damping gain
• Active damping I-term gain
The slider can also be disabled so that the 4 parameters can be set independently.
Pressure controller output limit

The output of the pressure controller is fixedly limited to 0% to 115% of the nominal pressure of the
valve. If, for example, the nominal pressure of the valve is 200 bar, the output of the pressure controller
is limited to 0 bar to 230 bar.

Parameter set
The pressure valve is supplied with 4 parameter sets, so that the parameterization of the pressure
controller can be adapted very simply to the respective application of the pressure valve. The following
settings of the pressure controller are parameter set dependent:
• PI controller P-gain
• PI controller I-gain
• Active damping gain
• Active damping I-term gain
• Slider
• Switch-off threshold of the I-term of the PI controller
Status bit “Pressure command value reached”

The status bit "Pressure command value reached" indicates whether the pressure control deviation (->
difference between pressure command value and actual pressure value) within a target window.
If the pressure control deviation is within the target window, the status bit is set. If the pressure control
deviation leaves the target window for a period of more than 10 ms, the status bit is reset again.
The status bit "Pressure command value reached" is formed when the following conditions are met:
• Enable for the valve is set
• Pressure detection of the valve is active

The following parameters are relevant for setting the pressure controller:

Pressure command value for solenoid current controller

If closed-loop pressure control is activated, the solenoid current controller receives the control value of
the pressure controller as a command value. In the other case, the pressure command value which is
predetermined by the command value preparation acts directly.
With a pressure valve without a pressure sensor, closed-loop pressure control is not possible.
In this case, the solenoid current controller always receives the command value directly from
the command value preparation.
Pressure/current curve
The pressure command value transferred to the solenoid current controller is converted into the
corresponding solenoid current command value via the pressure/current characteristic.
Solenoid current command value correction

The valve is set ex works over the complete pressure range (→ 0 bar to the nominal pressure of the
valve) for the volume flow specified in the valve data sheet. An optimum adaptation to the actual volume
flow and compensation of the aging of the pressure valve can be effected via the command value
correction by means of a factor and offset.
Solenoid current controller (PI controller with feedforward control)

The actual solenoid current controller is realized as a PI controller with feedforward control. The
solenoid current controller is set for the valve ex works, meaning that the customer is not required to
make any settings.

3DRE(E)(A), Z3DRE(E)(A) 69 / 112
Dither frequency factor

The control value of the solenoid current controller is output at a superimposed dither frequency to the
magnet of the pressure valve. The dither frequency for the pressure valve is set ex works so that the two
following conditions are optimally met:

A change to the dither frequency should only be made after consultation with the Bosch

Status bit “Pressure command value reached”
The status bit "Pressure command value reached" is formed when the following conditions are met:
• Enable for the valve is set
• Pressure detection of the valve is active
When the status bit is formed, it is tested whether the difference between the pressure command value
and the actual pressure value (pressure control deviation see S-0-0827) lies within a target window.
The target window is permanently set to 2% of the nominal pressure of the valve (e.g. the nominal
pressure of the valve is 200 bar → target window is 4 bar). If the pressure control deviation is within
the target window, the corresponding status bit is set in the valve status (see P-0-0115). If the pressure
control deviation leaves the target window for a period of more than 10 ms, the status bit in the valve
status (see P-0-0115) is reset.

9.64 S-0-0262 - Command: Load default values

9.64.1 Description
With this command, the condition as supplied of the valve can be restored in conjunction with
command P-0-0670.0.3. If the two commands S-0-0262 and P-0-0670.0.3 are executed in sequence,
all configuration parameters of the valve are reset to the values with which the valve was delivered ex
works.
After executing the commands, the command S-0-0264 must be executed so that the reset parameter
values are stored in the valve in a remanent manner.
