Application
Focus applications for this plug 
are in the control of hydraulic 
solenoid operated directional 
and pressure control valves 
where control of valve response 
time can significantly reduce 
shocks in the hydraulic system.
Best results in reducing 
hydraulic shocks will only be 
obtained by using valves with 
the right “low shock”, or “ 
proportional” features. 
General Description
These plugs, conforming to 
ISO 4400/DIN 43650 interface, 
offer adjustable, ramped on/off 
switching times through the 
use of an integral amplifier.
The switching time range  
is 50 ms to 5 seconds.
The soft switch plug is rated 
for 24V DC nominal and  
controlled by a 24V logic  
signal. Applying an “on” signal 
causes the output current to 
ramp up to, and stay at, an 
adjustable maximum while the 
“on” signal is maintained. At 
“switch-off” the output current 
is ramped down to zero and 
will remain at zero until the 
next “on” signal.
Ramp times (switching times) 
can be adjusted by an in-built 
potentiometer.
An adjustment also allows  
for compensation of any  
deadband in the valve.
