Our solution: HYDAC DVA-Kit with an intelligent drive controllerThe perfect symbiosis of hydraulics and electrical engineering
As a plug & play unit, our compact drive with a motor-mounted drive controller enables variable-speed hydraulic pressure supply for your applications with an output of 0.55 kW to 22 kW. The fully assembled, tested and pre-set intelligent pressure supply unit is for versatile use wherever pressure needs to be regulated. The drive controller parameterisation is tailored to your system – regardless of the task at hand. For example, a boost function can be used for a temporary increase in the flow rate requirement in your system. The motor-mounted drive controller also means that almost any hydraulic unit can be retrofitted – as a switch cabinet is not required.

HYDAC drive technology: this makes all the difference
Simple integration & parameterisation With HYDAC KineSys, your system is ready for immediate use
We offer you an all-round carefree package: as an intelligent pressure supply unit that is easy to integrate, HYDAC variable-speed drives are ready for immediate use – you don't need any cross-system expertise in hydraulics, electrics and control technology. There is also no need to assemble individual components. Thanks to the drive controller permanently mounted on the motor-pump group, there is also no need for switch cabinet installation. This avoids possible sources of error during commissioning. Our interdisciplinary HYDAC KineSys team of hydraulic engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and automation specialists brings all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Reduced complexity Straightforward drive technology for more efficiency
Thanks to our straightforward technology, all sensors and drive details can be networked with a controller via a communication interface on the drive controller – the sensors and control system required for this are already electrically connected and synchronised. This means that your system can be used straight away without any additional expertise. The plain text error code on the HYDAC drive controller also enables simple troubleshooting and error analysis. But that's not all: thanks to the pre-assembled and pre-set unit made up of a motor and drive controller, a rotary field test is also no longer necessary. This means that the system behaviour is independent of the supply frequency. The DVA-Kit operates in the same way everywhere: consistent hydraulic performance worldwide.
HYDAC hydraulic modules for variable-speed drivesWhy you should opt for a DVA-Kit with coordinated hydraulic blocks
HYDAC variable-speed drive solutions can be combined with various hydraulic modules for preconfigured basic functions, including sensors and pressure limiting.
That's why it pays to rely on hydraulic modules for variable-speed pumps from HYDAC:
DVA-Kit without hydraulic block for variable-speed pumps
If you use a DVA-Kit without a matching hydraulic block, you will need to take care of further integrations. This means that the following tasks will still need to be completed and taken into account:
- Connecting the supply voltage
- Connecting the sensor cables
- Synchronising the sensors with the drive controller
The following questions need to be answered:
- Where does the pressure sensor need to be connected?
- Who will synchronise the connected pressure sensor with regard to signal type, signal level and input terminal in the drive controller?
- Who will set the process controller?
DVA-Kit with hydraulic block for variable-speed pumps
If you select a preconfigured basic supply block for the DVA-Kit, integration is even easier for you. Because everything is coordinated and synchronised. What this means:
- The right pressure sensor is integrated into the hydraulic block and appropriately coded in the drive controller.
- The electrical connection of the sensor cable is simple and safe thanks to pre-assembled connectors.
- You'll also receive step-by-step instructions for commissioning.
All you have to do is answer the following questions:
- Where does the target value come from?
- Who will connect the supply line?
FAQ
What is a variable-speed drive?
KineSys variable-speed drives (DVA) are the perfect example of symbiosis between hydraulics and electronics. Thanks to the integrated closed-loop control, the drive motor can be switched on and controlled according to requirements. This results in major potential for energy savings, as only the amount of energy that is actually needed is made available. This means that energy savings of up to 70 % can be achieved, depending on the machine cycle. The condition-optimised adjustment of the KineSys solution reduces the power dissipation to a minimum. It also drastically reduces the complexity on the hydraulic side.
What is meant by closed-loop control?
Closed-loop control circuits
- A control circuit is the self-contained sequence of actions for influencing a physical variable in a technical system or other type of system.
Speed control
- If the general control circuit's system is transferred to the control types used in hydraulics, the following block diagram for speed control is obtained.
- The difference between the target value and actual speed is transferred to the frequency inverter. This then controls the motor so that the control difference (in our example, the speed deviation) is as close to zero as possible.
Pressure control
- This analogy can also be applied to pressure control. The target and actual pressure difference determines the control of the motor. The actual physical pressure variable is determined by a sensor within the fluid and in turn serves as a reference variable for the controller.
Accumulator charging mode
- The accumulator charging mode is a special pressure control application. The underlying controller structure is identical to the figure above.
- If the desired target pressure is reached and there is no decrease in hydraulic power, the drive runs at minimum speed to ensure continuous lubrication of the hydraulic pump. After an adjustable period of time (ΔTimeHysteresis), the drive is switched off completely. If the actual measured pressure value falls below the difference between the target pressure value and ΔPressure hysteresis, the drive switches back on and automatically switches to pressure control. The greatest possible energy savings can be achieved with this operating mode.
What is a (standard) parameterisation?
Parameterisation
Parameterisation means providing a program with variables that control the process.
This also applies to the parameterisation function of our drive controllers. The various parameters are used to define functional variables such as:
- Minimum and maximum speeds
- Control types
- Processing digital and analogue input and output signals
- Bus system interfaces
etc.
Standard parameterisations
With our many years of experience with a wide variety of applications, we have defined standards that fully cover most use cases. Adaptations to your system are of course taken into account for every product that we deliver.
