Safety in SystemsAll types and brands of control valves, including proportional valves, can fail. Therefore, the necessaryprotection against the serious consequences of a functional failure should always be built into thesystem.General safety considerationsFor each application an assessment should be made for the consequences of the system in case ofpressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked movements.W WarningBecause the proportional valve is used in many different applications and under different operatingconditions, it is the sole responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that all performance, safety andwarning requirements of the application is met in his selection of products and complies with relevantmachine specific and generic standards.Control system exampleAn example of a control system using an aerial lift is shown below:Aerial liftThis example breaks down the control system into smaller bits explaining the architecture in depth. Eventhough many Danfoss components are used in the PVG control system.The function of the control system is to use the output from the PVE together other external sensors toensure the PLUS+1 main controllers correct function of the aerial lift.Service and Parts ManualPVG 16/32/128/256Function© Danfoss | October 2018 AX284661889190en-000101 | 5
