Pilot Operated Proportional Directional Control Valve – Series D31FC / D41FC / D91FC / D111FC

The pilot operated proportional directional control valves series D*1FC is characterized by a high-precision position feedback system for improved process accuracy and and simple parametrization .

The D*1FC series is equipped with a modern, high-definition position feedback system. The parameters of the valve electronics can be accessed where required via the free, user-friendly ProPxD software. The integrated diagnostics function also makes optimal configuration easier.

D*1FC with EtherCAT
These valves are actuated and monitored by the EtherCAT® interface. Actual value (spool position), temperature, operating hours and different error messages are available as diagnostic signals. The valve parameters are factory set and can be adapted with the Parker ProPxD software via the parametrizing interface.

In addition to the fieldbus communication, the valves provide the range of functions of the standard version including  E2analogue  command signal and diagnostic spare stroke. Thus they can be operated independent of the fieldbus control, particularly during commissioning and maintenance.

Markets:
