of electronic or pump and in irreparable de-
struction of control module.
The pump has to have a direct connection to
an earth grounded machine frame. An earth
ground connection of the mounting rail and
the cable shields have to be connected to the
control unit earth ground terminal. Machine
frame and control unit must be connected
with a low resistance connection to avoid
ground loops.
Electrical Interfacing
Supply Voltage
The supply voltage has to be connected to PINs 3
and 4 and to PINs 22 and 24. The supply voltage
must be higher than 18 V to avoid sensor malfunc-
tion and lower than 30 V to avoid overheating and
destruction of the module. The residual ripple may
not exceed 5%.
The power supply must comply with the
relevant standards (e.g. DIN EN 61 558) and
must carry a CE mark. The supply voltage
must be free of inductive surges.
Please consider the high inrush current when
selecting the power supply (see specica-
tion). Power supplies with current limiting
features may cause problems during energiz-
ing the unit.
The function of the module is blocked, when
supply voltage polarity is wrong.

Digital Inputs
Enable
A positive voltage higher than 10 V (and < 30 V) at
PIN 8 enables the solenoid current driver circuit of
the module. The operation of the module requires
a permanent signal on PIN 8 (e.g. supply voltage).
Disconnecting the enable signal or a signal level
below 2.5 V will immediately switch off the solenoid
current. Ramp settings will not apply.
The enable function is not a safety function
to avoid unwanted operation of the machine
in terms of machine safety regulations.
Enable p/Q-control
A positive signal > 10 V (and < 30 V) at PIN 7 ena-
bles the pressure control function of the module.
A signal lower than 2.5 V at PIN 7 will allow the
module to perform the displacement control of the
pump only. The p-valve solenoid current is set to
maximum.Theamplierforthepressurevalveis
deactivated at TYPE F (no function with mounted
p-Q block)
Enable ramp
A positive signal > 10 V (and < 30 V) at PIN 5
enables the internal ramp generator. The module
offers an individual ramp-up and ramp-down func-
tion for displacement and pressure command.This
ramp function allows ramp settings up to 60 s. A
signal lower than 2.5 V at PIN 5 will disable the
ramp generation.
Ramp function should be used for lasting
system stability.
Analog Inputs
Displacement command signal input
The displacement command is connected to
PIN 10.
Please note: all input commands as well as all
output signals are referenced to the modules
0 V level at PIN 9, 11 and 31.
A +10 V input command at PIN 10 brings the
pump to full displacement, when module settings
and pump size are matched and if no electronic
limitation is entered into the parameters. A 0 V
input command at PIN 10 brings the pump to dead
head (0 l/min output flow), when the pressure at
the pump outlet is 20 bar or higher.
With the MAX setting for the displacement com-
mand (Parameter: MAX:WQ), a smaller displace-
ment than the nominal pump displacement at +10
V input command can be adjusted. A minimum
displacement at 0 V command signal can be set
with the parameter MIN:WQ.
If the hydraulic system is not able to maintain
a pump outlet pressure of 20 bar at pump
dead head, a pre-load valve must be installed
at the pumps outlet to maintain controllability
of the pump displacement.
To prevent malfunction and erratic control
response a high signal quality is recom-
mended. The command signal needs to be
lteredandmustbefreeofinductivesurges
and modulations.
Incorrect signal levels will lead to erratic
control function and may damage the unit.
For correct signal levels, see the technical
date section.
It is recommended to use shielded cables
with a cross section of at least 0.5 mm² for
the input command lines to avoid interfer-
ence with power lines or other sources for
electromagnetic„noise“.

Pressure command signal input
The pressure command is connected to PIN 13.
A +10 V input command brings the pump to the
nominal pump pressure (350 bar for PV series
pumps), if the pressure compensator differential
setting is set in the module software and the pilot
valve is the recommended type PVACRE***K35
( * represents the mounting bolt options, thread
options and the sealing options). A 0 V input com-
mand brings the pump to minimum compensating
pressure (typical differential pressure + ca. 5 bar).
The relation between input command and compen-
sating pressure is linearized for the pressure control
(open loop, TYPE=P). With a pressure transducer
installed in the pilot circuit (at the pressure pilot
valve PVAC***K35), the compensating pressure
is closed loop monitored (TYPE=Q).
With the MAX setting for the pressure command
(Parameter MAX:WP), a smaller pressure at +10 V
inputcommandcanbeadjusted.
To enable the pump to control pressures up
to 350 bar the displacement command
has to be at least 15%.
To prevent malfunction and erratic control
response, a high signal quality is recom-
mended. The command signal needs to be
lteredandmustbefreeofinductivesurges
and modulations.
Incorrect signal levels will lead to erratic
control function and may damage the unit.
Please see the section technical data.
Horse power command signal input
The horse power command is connected to PIN 29.
A +10 V input command allows the pump to operate
within its full power range (nominal displacement
resp. flow, 350 bar output pressure). If the module
is programmed for electronic horse power limitation
(Parameter: PL:EXT = EXT), a reduced input com-
mand at PIN 29 will result in a limitation of the pump
output flow, if the maximum power is exceeded.
The maximum pump driving power is calculated
and stored internally in the module. The overall
pumpefciencyisconsideredinthiscalculation.A
second maximum or limit can be set with the power
limitation parameter (PL:PL), which can be less or
equal to the calculated value.
If the external power limitation is deactivated
(Parameter: PL:EXT = INT), the power limitation
parameterdenedin(Parameter:PL:PL)actsas
boundary (only if a pressure sensor is installed).
This will keep the horse power requirement of the
pump below the commanded level.
A +5 V input command signal will limit the
horse power requirement for the pump to
50% of the full nominal horse power ( i. e.
for PV028 the full corner horse power at
1,500 rpm is approx. 29,0 kW, at +5 V input
command at PIN 29 the pump input power is
limited to 14.5 kW).
Only for a constant input speed this control
maintains a certain horse power level. For
variable speed, only the max. input torque
level is controlled.
If the power limitation is active, both LED
STATUS I and STATUS II are on. The power
limitation is also shown at the monitor view
(Status Info – POWER_LIM).

Sensor signals
Displacement Transducer (cable 1)
The displacement transducer (LVDT) must be
connected to the power supply (LVDT connector
PIN 2 to +24 V), to the displacement signal input
(LVDT connector PIN 1 to module PIN 6) and to
the module 0 V (LVDT connector PIN 3 to module
PIN 9 / 11).
The displacement transducer signal is 9 V
(7.5 V at frame size 1 and 2), when the pump
is at dead head and between 7.5 and 4 V
(depending on frame size and nominal displace-
ment) at full stroke. The connection to the displace-
ment transducer is checked by the modules cable
break monitoring.
A sensor signal below 1 V or above 10 V will lead
toashutoffofthepoweramplierstagesandwill
force the pump to dead head.
The LVDT connector has to be assembled
carefully to avoid the danger of a short circuit
in the connector (i.e. the exact position of the
lagging ring is to be checked). A electrical
short in the connector can cause irreparable
damage to the electronic module.
Some electronics supply companies offer pre-
fabricated cables with the M12x1 connector
molded to the cable. These cables avoid the
risk of mis-assembly, offer a higher protection
against ingression of moisture or oil and are
available in many different length options.
Please note that the displacement signal is a
voltage signal and the voltage drop is propor-
tional to the cable length. The length of the
cable should only be as long as necessary.
cable 1: 4 x 0,5 mm², shielded, max. 50 m long
connector: round type M12 x 1; 5-PIN angled version
Lagging ring must

connector: according DIN 43 650, version AF, 4-PIN
Type of protection IP 65 for voltages up to 250V
Pressure Transducer (cable 2)
A pressure transducer is needed, when the module
is set to closed loop pressure control (TYPE = Q)
or if the circuit requires a internal or external horse
power control.
The pressure transducer must be connected to the
power supply (connector PIN 3 to +24 V), to the
pressure transducer signal input (connector PIN 1
to module PIN 14) and to the module 0 V level (con-
nector PIN 2 to module PIN 9 / 11). The pressure
transducer signal is between 4 mA (current signal)
at 0 bar and 20 mA at the transducers nominal pres-
sure of 600 bar. The normal working range in case
of a PV series pump is 4...11.67 mA (0…350bar).
The connection to the pressure transducer is
checked by the modules cable break monitoring.
A current below 3 mA will lead to a shut off of the
poweramplierstagesandwillforcethepumpto

Analog Outputs
Diagnosis displacement
PIN 15 provides an analog readout proportional for
the actual pump displacement.The signal is +10 V
at full stroke and 0,15 V at dead head and stand-by
pressure,iftheLVDTadjustmentiscorrectandthe
programming of the module matches the actual
pump size and displacement.The maximum current
load to this output is 10 mA.
Diagnosis pressure
PIN 16 provides an analog readout for the actual
pressure, when a pressure transducer is installed
and the module is programmed. The signal is +10
V at nominal pressure (350 bar) and 0 V at 0 bar
pump outlet pressure. The maximum current load
to this output is 10 mA.
Reference voltage output
PIN 12 provides a stabilized +10V reference signal,
which can be used to drive potentiometers for the
analog input signals. The maximum current load
for the reference output is 10 mA.
Digital outputs
Ready
The Ready output (PIN 1) gives information on
the module being ready to operate. A signal larger
than +10 V signals a logic 1, a signal lower than
+2 V signals a logic 0. PIN 1 has a logic 1 signal,
when all necessary sensors are attached and intact
and the Enable signal is set (logic 1 at PIN 5).The
control loop is closed under these conditions. The
Ready LED (green) is lighted.
When a sensor fault occurs (cable broken, no
sensor connected, signal out of range, or wrong
pump size selected) a logic 0 is sent. The Ready
LED starts flashing.
Status
The Status I output (PIN 2) delivers via switch
sequence information about the error category.
Memory, command, sensor and solenoid errors can
be evaluated. A signal higher than +10 V signals
a logic 1, a signal lower than +2 V signals a logic
0. The signals at PIN 2 are also shown as flash
sequence at LED Status I.
In addition the LED Status II gives information
about the error description. The switch sequence
at PIN 2 and the flash sequence at LED Status I
for the error category and the flash sequence at
LED-Status II for the error description are described
in the picture shown below.
The display of error category and error description
easestheelderrordiagnosis.
The activity of the horse power control is shown
via a static signal at the Status I and Status II
LED.Ifthetotalinputpoweriswithinthespecied
corner power, both Status LEDs are off. Status I
is a logic 0. During fast control actions both status
LEDs will flicker.

5. Programming
The Programming of the p/Q-module can be done
in an easy way. For programming the module must
be connected with the PC via a programming cable
(Ordering number PQDXXA-ZXX-Kabel).
The ProPVplus Software need to be installed
and started on the connected computer to get the
module parameterized. The program runs under
WINDOWS XP, WINDOWS VISTA, WINDOWS 7
and WINDOWS 8.
The latest version can be downloaded at:
http://www.parker.com/pmde Support
Customer Toolbox
The PQDXXA-Z10 module is compatible to
ProPVplus 3.5.0 upwards.
Please note that the data format has been
changed from since module generation
PQDXXA-Z01 .PAR to .WPC. Old .PAR pa-
rameter sets cannot be translated to the new
data format.
The software offers the following features:
The PARAMETER LIST displays all available
and changeable parameters. Two different input
levels are available (MODE = STD or EXP). An
input dialog opens after double clicking on the
parameter. Limits of the input are shown, faulty or
wronginputsareidentied.
All parameters are directly sent to the module, if
it is in active mode, which means ProPVplus is
connected with the module [CONNECT ]. The
command: Save, saves the parameter settings to
the modules memory. Default, resets the module
to factory settings. Load Back, resets the module
to the last saved parameter settings.
Parameter sets can also be edited offline without
any connection to the module.
The MONITOR window allows the numerically
display of various process parameters.
The OSCILLOSCOPE displays various pro-
cess parameters as graphs. Furthermore the oscil-
loscope offers a Start-Stop option and allows the
dataexportaswellasthestorageastextle(.txt).
The cursor function in the right mouse button menu
provides the option for amplitude and time meas-
urements. Screenshots can also be captured with
the right mouse button dialog.
Please see the documentation in the software
ProPVplus under MenuHelp for further
information about the handling of ProPVplus.
When starting ProPVPlus and an activated connection to the module, the screen shown below will be displayed:
