MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Welcome Welcome to High Country Tek Inc. HCT is North America’s foremost independent designer and producer of modular, ruggedized digital and analog electronic controllers for the fluid power industry. From our factory in California, we manufacture ‘specialty’ controllers for specific functions and the user programmable ‘DVC family’ to enable large area networked system solutions. The modules are used in mobile, industrial and marine applications.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Product Application Guidelines ALWAYS do the following FULLY read this manual and accompanying data sheets BEFORE starting. Isolate this unit from all other equipment BEFORE any form of welding. Isolate the controller from ANY form of battery charging or battery boosting. Be aware of the electrical & mechanical connections, and the expected reactions of the equipment. Operate the units within the temperature range. Use the correct tools to do the job (i.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller MVP-Cxx-(D1) Controller The MVP-Cxx-(D1) controller drives proportional solenoid valves. The output current is proportional to the command input. Once configured, the settings are permanently stored in the controller memory.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Physical Description There are two indicator LEDs: STATUS and OUTPUT. The STATUS LED is green when the applied voltage is within the operating range. The OUTPUT LED is yellow and the brightness will vary with the output current. In the case of a fault the STATUS LED will flash red with a flash code. It will continue to flash until clearing faults by moving the command signal out of active range or cycling the power. See Fault Status for details.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Configuration The GUI has 4 buttons (ran from a PC): Lock, Unlock, Up, and Down. There are short-cut keys: ‘/’(lock), ‘*’(unlock), ‘+’(up), and ‘-‘(down). The HCT Hand Held Interface has the same 4 buttons and 2-line LCD. Use the up and down arrows to navigate through the parameter list. The display will show the next parameter in the list when pressed. The parameter name is on the first line and the value is on the second line.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller “Read settings from controller” displays a static table of values from non-volatile memory. The changes made to the settings by selecting “lock” are not updated in the table unless “read settings from controller” is selected again. To save the settings into a file for future use, click “read settings from controller” before clicking “save settings to file”. 021-MVP-Cxx-(D1) Rev A MVP-C-(D1) User Manual Copyright © High Country Tek, Inc.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller When uploading settings from a data file, the static table shows the settings from the data file, but they are not in the controller yet. Click “write settings to controller” before clicking “read settings from controller”. After this step, the static table will display the MVP settings from the data file. 021-MVP-Cxx-(D1) Rev A MVP-C-(D1) User Manual Copyright © High Country Tek, Inc.

MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller MVP-Cxx - The title parameter is fixed. It displays the model number and the firmware version. MODE - Six modes of operation. 1. Output is proportional to the command input with Enable not used. 2. Output is inversely proportional to the command input with Enable not used. 3. Output is proportional to the command input with Enable used. 4. Output is inversely proportional to the command input with Enable used. 5.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller nd Dual-coil valve control: 2 MVP drives coil B. It is in mode 2 st 1 MVP drives coil A. It is in mode 1. The input range is 8-9.52V which is equivalent to 2-0.48V. The present input 7.36V is equivalent to 2.64V for coil A. The input range is 3-4.52V. The present input is 2.64V, out of the input range. That is why coil A current is 0. 021-MVP-Cxx-(D1) Rev A Coil B output is 0A. MVP-C-(D1) User Manual Copyright © High Country Tek, Inc.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Input is 3.32V, coil A current is 0.26A. 021-MVP-Cxx-(D1) Rev A Input is 3.72V, coil A current is 0.6A because the current is limited by the coil resistance. MVP-C-(D1) User Manual Copyright © High Country Tek, Inc.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Input is 3.32V, coil A current is 0.26A. 021-MVP-Cxx-(D1) Rev A Input is 3.72V, coil A current is 0.6A because the current is limited by the coil resistance. MVP-C-(D1) User Manual Copyright © High Country Tek, Inc.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Input is 4.84V, coil A current is 0.79A because the current is limited by the coil resistance. 021-MVP-Cxx-(D1) Rev A Input 4.84V is equivalent to 5.16V for coil B. Coil B current is 0A because the input is in deadband. MVP-C-(D1) User Manual Copyright © High Country Tek, Inc.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Input is 9.24V, coil B current is 0.68A because the current is limited by the coil resistance. 021-MVP-Cxx-(D1) Rev A 10V input for coil B is equivalent to 0V for coil A. Notes: when using two MVPs to drive a dualcoil valve, sudden power loss will cause unintended high speed movement in one direction. MVP-C-(D1) User Manual Copyright © High Country Tek, Inc.

MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Application Examples Single Solenoid Control The MVP can drive a single solenoid with a signal of 0-5VDC, or 0-10VDC, or 4-20mA. Mode 1 is used when the enable switch is not used. Mode 3 is used when the enable switch is used. Set the dither and output settings according to the valve specifications. +V Power Input 9 - 28VDC FUSE Brown PWR + White Enable +V = Enabled +5VDC @ 2mA Red Ref.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Dual-coil Valve Control Two MVPs can drive a dual-coil valve with a signal of 0-5VDC, or 0-10VDC, or 4-20mA. If enable switch is not used, set MVP #1 to be Mode 1, MVP #2 to be Mode 2. If enable switch is used, set MVP #1 to be Mode 3, MVP #2 to be Mode 4. Set 2.5-5VDC for MVP #1, 7.5-10VDC for MVP #2 when there is no deadband in the command input. Normally we leave deadband in the middle and both ends. Set the dither and output settings according to the valve specifications.
MVP-Cxx-(D1) Valve Controller Double Solenoid Control Two MVPs can drive a double solenoid valve with a signal of 0-5VDC, or 0-10VDC, or 4-20mA. A selector switch determines which solenoid is activated. If enable switch is not used, set MVP #1 to be Mode 1, MVP #2 to be Mode 1. If enable switch is used, set MVP #1 to be Mode 3, MVP #2 to be Mode 3. Set the dither and output settings according to the valve specifications.
