GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Digital Valve Sequence Programmer (DVSP) is an add-on or stand-alone
timer/programmer available with either 2 or 4 intervals, settable in ranges of 0-99
seconds, 0-9.9 minutes, or 0-99 minutes. The DVSP is most commonly used for
remote operation of electrical devices such as solenoid valves, Valco two position
or multiposition electric actuators, and the Valco Digital Valve Interface (DVI), which
converts contact closures into pneumatic pulses for switching Valco two position air
actuators.
The DVSP has two operational modes: in the AUTO mode, the DVSP will return to
the first interval and begin another sequence after the last interval is completed,
and in the SINGLE CYCLE mode it stops after one sequence. During a cycle or
sequence, simple controls allow the user to stop the cycle, reset it to Interval 1,
switch to the AUTO mode, or advance to the next interval. The DVSP can also be
wired for remote operation by contact closure from a data system or other control
device.
Each interval has one DPDT (double pole, double throw) relay, which provides two
sets of contacts with no connection from one side to the other. This means that a
single interval can be used to perform two separate functions requiring differing
voltage requirements. For example, one side of relay A (Interval 1) can be used to
switch an electric actuator (contact closure) while the other side is connected to
110 VAC and switches a 110 VAC solenoid valve
at the same time as the electric
actuator. In addition, Relay E (functional only in the AUTO mode) supplies a two
second contact. When solenoid valves are wired in series with this relay the result
is "pulsed operation" of the air actuator, which avoids the potential valve and ac-
tuator problems associated with continuously-applied air pressure.
Both 12 VDC and 110 VAC power supplies are included within the DVSP, but the
relays may be supplied from any external power source. For example, 24 VDC
solenoid valves can be switched by the DVSP relays if the 24 volts is supplied to
the relays from an external 24 VDC power supply.
