Product Description:

Vickers is a global leader in industrial hydraulics. The company designs power amplifiers to regulate hydraulic systems. Their EEA-PAM-581-D-33 is a power amplifier for precise control of servo or proportional valves, often used in industrial applications. It provides reliable signal conversion that makes it a valuable component for machine control.

The EEA-PAM-581-D-33 power amplifier offers multiple control inputs including direct voltage (~ 10 V) and current input (~ 20 mA), with an input impedance of 47 k? for voltage and 100 ? for current. It supports feed-forward and ramp generator inputs, each with specific impedance and voltage ranges. Sensor input options include voltage (0 to 10 V or ~ 10 V) and current (4 - 20 mA), with appropriate input impedance and sensor failure monitoring. PID-controller enable is managed with a signal range of 17 - 40 V for enabling and 0 - 3.5V for disabling drawing less than 10 mA current. The digital outputs for sensor failure and feedback signals are available that are designed to handle continuous short-circuit conditions with a load current of less than 100 mA. The D series power amplifier also supports LVDT position monitoring, with voltage output monitored at ~10V and an impedance of 10 k?.

The EEA-PAM-581-D-33 power amplifier offers a variety of analog outputs such as the PID-controller and error signals, both operating with a load impedance greater than 10 k? and a ~ 10 V range. Feedback signals from sensors are short-circuit-proof. The product operates in temperatures ranging from 0 degrees C to 50 degrees C, with a storage capability extending from -25 degrees C to +85 degrees C. It features a range of monitoring points, including signals for command, feedback, and LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) spool position. The amplifier weighs approximately 0.4 kg.

Symptom / Front-panel LED or Test-Jack Reading Probable Cause Practical Troubleshooting Step
24 V LED dark Card is not powered (supply < 20 V DC, blown fuse, reversed polarity) Verify cabinet power-supply output and fuse, correct polarity, then re-apply 24 V.
15 V LED dark while 24 V LED is on On-board ±15 V logic rail missing (regulator failure) Measure ±15 V at test jacks; if absent, replace the regulator section or the whole card.
Enable LED off even though PLC drives > +10 V to pin z24 Enable line actually < +6 V (open PLC output or wiring break) Repair the z24 circuit, restore ≥ +10 V, reseat the card to reset the latch.
Overload LED lit (red) Coil current > 2.5 A (shorted coil or wrong valve fitted) Measure coil resistance, inspect cable for shorts, fit the correct coil; LED clears automatically.
LVDT 1 Fail LED on First feedback transducer open-circuit or out-of-range Check ±15 V sensor supply, repair the 6-pin LVDT cable, re-zero the loop.
LVDT 2 Fail LED on Second feedback channel fault (card supports dual feedback) Repeat Step 5 for the second sensor; both fail LEDs must be off before operation.
Watch-Dog LED flashing Internal micro-controller reset (noise on 24 V or firmware fault) Power-cycle the card; if the LED returns, add 24 V filtering or replace the card.
Ramp pots have no effect / valve jerks Quadrant-ramp bypass link b12–b20 left closed Remove the jumper or route it through a remote switch to re-enable the 4-quadrant ramps.
Command present but no valve motion Set-minimum or Gain pots fully CCW (zero output) Turn both pots clockwise until monitor jack MP1 shows ±0.5 V or more; retest valve stroke.
Card drops out whenever 24 V < 19 V or cabinet > 50 °C Low-voltage or over-temperature protection has tripped Upgrade the PSU or wiring, improve cabinet ventilation, allow board to cool < 45 °C, then restart.
