product.

▶ Keep this documentation in a location where it is accessible to all users at all

times.

▶ Always pass the product together with the required documentation to third

parties.

2.2 Intended use

The analog ampliﬁer module is an electrical component.

You may use the product as follows:

• For controlling a DC motor-actuated proportional pressure reducing valve with

electrical position feedback, type (Z)DRS, size 6, component series 1X

The product is intended exclusively for professional use and not for private usage.

Operation according to the intended use also implies that you have read

and understood this documentation completely, especially chapter 2 “Safety

instructions“.

2.3 Improper use

Any use other than described in the section “Intended use” is considered as

improper and is therefore not permitted.

For damage resulting from improper use, Bosch Rexroth AG will not bear liability.

The risks arising from improper use lie exclusively with the user.

Improper use includes, but is not limited to the following, foreseeable misuse:

• operating the analog ampliﬁer module outside the speciﬁed performance limits and

operating conditions, especially the prescribed ambient conditions;

2.4 Personnel qualiﬁcations

The activities described in this documentation require basic knowledge of electrics

and hydraulics as well as knowledge of the associated technical terms. To ensure

safe usage, these activities may therefore only be carried out by qualiﬁed personnel

or under the direction and supervision of qualiﬁed personnel.

Qualiﬁed personnel are those who can recognize possible hazards and institute

the appropriate safety measures due to their professional training, knowledge and

experience, as well as their understanding of the relevant conditions pertaining to

the work to be done. Qualiﬁed personnel have to observe relevant specialist rules

and have the required expertise.

With regard to hydraulic products, specialist knowledge means, for example:

• The ability to read and entirely understand hydraulic circuit diagrams,

8/52 Safety instructions

Bosch Rexroth AG, VT-MRMA1-1, RE 30214-B/03.2019

• the complete understanding in particular of interrelationships with regard to safety

equipment and

• knowledge of the function and structure of hydraulic components.

Bosch Rexroth oﬀers qualifying training courses in speciﬁc ﬁelds. You can ﬁnd an

overview of training contents on the Internet at:

http://www.boschrexroth.com

2.5 General safety instructions

• Observe valid regulations for accident prevention and environmental protection.

• Observe the safety regulations and rules of the country where the product is used/

operated.

• Use Rexroth products only in technically perfect condition.

• Observe all notes given on the product.

• Persons who install, commission, operate, demount or maintain Rexroth products

must not consume any alcohol, drugs or pharmaceuticals that may aﬀect their

ability to respond.

• Only use accessory and spare parts approved by the manufacturer in order to rule

out personnel hazards arising from unsuitable spare parts.

• Adhere to the technical data and ambient conditions speciﬁed in the product

documentation.

• If unsuitable products are installed or used in safety-relevant applications,

unintended operational states may occur in the application that can cause personal

injury and/or damage to property. Therefore, use the product only in safety-relevant

applications such as in explosion protection areas or in safety-related parts of a

control (functional safety), if this use is expressly speciﬁed and permitted in the

documentation.

• You may commission the product only when it has been established that the ﬁnal

product (for example, a machine or system), in which the Rexroth products is

installed, complies with national regulations, safety regulations and standards

relevant for the application.

• Observe safety-relevant information and information on risks in the operating

instructions of the manufacturer of the connected hydraulic system before

commissioning the analog ampliﬁer module with a hydraulic system.

• Technical data, the connection and installation conditions can be found in the

product documentation and have to be strictly observed.

• Observe general installation and safety regulations for working on electrical

systems.

• Generally, you may not modify or convert the product.

2.6 Product-speciﬁc safety instructions

If for certain work to be carried out safety features on the product are temporarily

not used for functional reasons, you have to ensure the same safety and protection

level in a diﬀerent way in accordance with valid regulations.

Safety instructions 9/52

RE 30214-B/03.2019, VT-MRMA1-1, Bosch Rexroth AG

WARNING

Hazardous movements!

Risk of injury due to incorrect activation of the proportional pressure reducing valve

via the analog ampliﬁer module and resulting unforeseeable machine movements.

▶ Operate the ampliﬁer only together with the valves speciﬁed in the type code.

▶ Observe safety in accordance with EN 13849 or IEC 62061.

▶ If persons have to enter the hazard zone while the control is active, provide

superordinate monitoring functions or measurers for personal safety. The plant

manufacturer/user has to rate and dimension these measures on the basis of

a risk and failure analysis according to the speciﬁc situation on site. The safety

regulations valid for the system have to be taken into account for this.

▶ The electronics emits interference to other electronics within the permitted limit

values. This can cause malfunction in the control process. Only use electronics

below the EMC limit values or provide appropriate shielding.

▶ The electronics of the analog ampliﬁer module VT-MRMA1 responds to

electromagnetic interference from non-shielded, improperly installed or wrongly

connected signal cables. If the limit values given in the data sheet are exceeded,

malfunction or uncontrolled movements are possible. Adhere to the limit values

given in the data sheet, use only electronics below the EMC limit values or

provide proper shielding.

▶ Electrostatic processes, an inadequate grounding concept or missing

equipotential bonding can lead to damage to the electronics and hence

cause malfunction or uncontrolled movements of the machine. Ensure proper

grounding and provide equipotential bonding.

▶ Using the product outside the speciﬁed IP protection class can result in

short-circuit and malfunction and hence in uncontrolled machine movements.

Therefore, use the product only within the IP protection class and in

environments as speciﬁed in the data sheet.

▶ Provide safety functions for personal safety separately. The analog ampliﬁer

module VT-MRMA1 itself does not include safety functions for personal safety

and is no safety-related component.

High electric voltage through incorrect connection!

Danger to life, risk of injury due to electric shock.

▶ When carrying out any work, disconnect the relevant machine section from the

power supply and protect it against being switched on again.

▶ Only connect devices, electrical components and lines which feature protective

extra low voltage (PELV) to connections or terminals having voltages from 0 to

50 Volt.

▶ Only connect voltages and power circuits that feature safe isolation from

dangerous voltages. Safe electrical isolation can be achieved with, for example,

isolating transformers, safe opto-couplers or mains-free battery operation.

10/52 General notes on damage to material and the product

Bosch Rexroth AG, VT-MRMA1-1, RE 30214-B/03.2019

WARNING

Lightning!

Risk of uncontrolled machine movements.

▶ An inadequate grounding concept or missing equipotential bonding can lead to

damage to the electronics. Provide for equipotential bonding of the device.

Risk of damage to the analog ampliﬁer module.

▶ Wire the analog ampliﬁer module only when disconnected from the power

supply.

Overloading!

Risk of overloading and damage to the supply cable in the case of insuﬃcient

dimensioning and/or operation with several electrical devices.

▶ Provide current limitation by overload protection.

▶ Select an appropriate rating of power supply unit and cables.

Short-circuit!

Risk of overloading and damage of the supply cable in the case of defects of the

electrical device.
