PowerLine User Guide
PowerLine flexible configurations:
The PowerLine module is ideally suited for today’s hydraulic OEM, distributor or system builder. With both
mechanical and electrical robustness paramount in the design priority, Windows™ compatible easy to use set-
up software and full CE compliance means this one product can through , the many configurations and features
available, be used across multiple platforms, markets and applications.
This units cost effectiveness will become quickly apparent through the reduction in inventory costs and stocking
needs as well as in the reduced costly engineering time taken usually associated with the design to delivery
cycle.
The PowerLine has five (5) basic configurable modes of operation available within the one module.:
1) Manual control of the output current through the graphical user interface.
This mode is typically used during system start-up and commissioning. Used to prove control and
direction of motion as well as correct hoses and fittings are leak free.
2) Horse Power Limiter & Anti-Stall – automotive style prime mover protection.
Used to protect an engine from stalling by progressively reducing the hydraulic load either by valve or
pump control, effectively de-coupling the load from the motor. The active nature of this mode allows the
machine to find the optimized work rate and still support healthy engine RPM.
2a) Horse Power Limiter & Anti-Stall with Reverse –
Ideal for system such as auto-feed wood chippers or any applications that need a reverse feature if the
engine starts to stall because of a forced load.
3) Horse Power Limiter & Anti-Stall with Max Command -
Used to protect an engine from stalling by progressively reducing the hydraulic load either by valve or
pump control, effectively de-coupling the load from the motor. Extra Features are provided to allow the
user to vary the maximum command signal with a pot or joystick during Anti-Stall operations.
4) Valve Driver – Direct open loop control of single or dual coil valves or pump controls.
The last mode provides a quick, easy method of controlling single or dual coil valves or pump strokers.
This unit will drive all the major OEM products and can be set easily to interface with a simple joystick or
work from an external command signal of either voltage or current.
