1 DVC System and Software
1.1 Introduction
The DVC710 module is user programmable and able to support a wide range of control applications. The
DVC710 is a master controller and its flexible hardware and software allow it to run many hydraulic control
applications as a single module. This user guide illustrates the techniques to create and maintain user
applications that run on the DVC710 and compatible expansion modules. Instructions on how to use the DVC
programming tools are provided along with definitions, programming steps and examples. The DVC710 is
programmable using the Programming Tools described in this manual. You simply select the project type you
are designing for via a main menu item.
1.2 The DVC System Overview
The DVC710 BIOS software provides high-level data processing to your program regarding the state of each of
your system inputs and the actual input/output electrical interfacing to sensors, joysticks, potentiometers and
valves is automatically handled for you through relationships defined within the application code.
The DVC710 is packaged in a small rugged enclosure. All connectors are sealed and each module is
encapsulated to withstand extreme conditions in harsh operating environments. The hardened enclosures allow
you to locate the module near the sensors, valves, etc. they will control. This can greatly minimize the amount
of cabling in your system and significantly lower your costs.
1.3 DVC710 Introduction
The DVC710 Programmable Valve Controller is the latest addition to the DVC family of modules. The DVC710
is designed to be a low cost Master Controller. The low cost DVC710 has enough processing power and input
