CAUTION! Dangerous operating conditions may occur when using the programming interface on the valve as the valve may possibly
not react to the analog setpoint any more.
Provide for protection against uncontrolled movement of equipment when putting the valve into operation and before making any
modifications to the valve settings.

2-Port Control Valve with
Digital Electronics
1. Description
The FlowtronicDflow controller is especially designed for applications placing extreme dynamic demands on flow
control. It consists of a fast, direct-acting 2-port proportional valve and a control unit that contains all the electronics
and sensors. The FlowtronicDoffers precise flow adjustment and quickly responds to outside influences. High
accuracy is achieved by measuring the flow with two sensors. The FlowtronicDdirectly regulates the actual rate of flow
and adjusts it quickly to changing conditions.
The use of digital control electronics and a USB interface allow the FlowtronicDto be adapted to different
applications. An auto-tune function and the Numatics FlowCom PC software provide easy start-up. Diagnosis of the
FlowtronicDis made possible over the integrated LEDs and the Numatics FlowCom PC software. The FlowtronicDis
available with or without LED display and operating buttons.

After an interruption in the power supply, press both arrow buttons located beneath the display during power up to
switch to the manual mode. The operating mode is indicated by the letters “H n d” in the display.
The "H n d" display disappears when the arrow buttons are released.
Press the left arrow button or DOWN arrow to reduce the flow, press the right arrow button or UP arrow to increase
the flow. The yellow LED is on permanently during manual mode.
Exit this operating mode by pressing both arrow buttons simultaneously or by turning off the power supply for a
short time.
Shut-off:
If the command signal falls below 0.5 %, the control valve is switched off and the flow is interrupted.
Overtemperature:
If the temperature of the internal control electronics exceeds 100°C the green LED starts to flash.
Undervoltage / overvoltage:
If the supply voltage is less than 19 V or more than 30 V, the control valve is switched off and the valve is locked. The
red LED lights up constantly to indicate undervoltage or flashes to indicate overvoltage.

2. Electrical Connection
1) The valve must only be supplied with 24V DC at a tolerance of +15%/-10% and a max. ripple of 10% (no supply via
diode bridge). Overvoltage or a ripple rate exceeding these tolerances can damage the electronics.
2) The max. current at the digital output is 200 mA/4.8W (PNP output). The output is protected against short circuit and
overload.
3) If a relay (inductive load) is connected to the digital output, a freewheel diode or a varistor must be used.
4) A shielded cable must be used for protection against interference and EMC.
5) The valve body must be grounded with the earthing terminal PE (dia. M4)

• Span: Max. specified flow at a command signal of 10 V / 20 mA.
• Minimum hysteresis.
• The control parameters, setpoint offset, setpoint span and window size of the digital output are factory-
programmed.
Parameter set: factory settings
Setpoint offset: 0%
Setpoint span: 100%
Setpoint ramp: no ramp
Shut-off: ON; the flow rate is 0 at a command signal below 0.5%
Controller structure: PID
Proportional gain: 0.1
Integration time: 0.2 sec
Derivation time: 0 msec
Window size: 5 %
Display
The actual flow rate is displayed in Nl/min during normal operation.
Hnd indicates that the Manual mode has been selected.
Push Buttons
To enter the Manual mode, press and hold both pushbuttons simultaneously and power off and power up again.
"Hnd" appears in the display.
Use the UP button to increase the flow rate and the DOWN button to decrease it. The actual flow rate is displayed.
Quick presses on the buttons allow you to make slight changes in the flow rate.
Inch screw connections (pipe threads) must be used.
Each screw connections must be lined with a fitting synthetic sealing disc.
Do not use Teflon sealing tape or hemp as they may get inside the valve and damage it.
The diameter of the pneumatic lines must be adjusted to the nominal diameter of the valve. The diameter of outlet line
(2) must be larger or equal to that of inlet line (1).
The supply pressure must not exceed 8 bar (116 psi).

Push Buttons (Cont'd)
Longer presses allow you to make larger changes in the flow rate.
Press both pushbuttons simultaneously to exit the "Manual mode" and return to the "Regular mode". Pressing the UP
or DOWN button in "Regular mode" causes the display to blink and show the setpoint in %. Press the UP or DOWN
button again to display the actual flow rate.
Autotune
AUTOTUNE determines the forward current the proportional valve needs to open. This control parameter, called for-
ward offset, is permanently stored.
AUTOTUNE can be activated in the three following ways:
1. Press and hold the AUTOTUNE button, switch the supply voltage off and on again, and release the AUTOTUNE but-
ton.
2. Over the Numatics FlowCom operating software.
3. If the appropriate option has been selected over the operating software, AUTOTUNE can be activated over the digital
input (M12, Pin 5).
After having determined the forward offset, the device will automatically go into Regular mode.
