- the fluid lines 20 and 21 open together at a fluidic node 28, the fluid lines 22 and 23 open together at the fluidic node 30, the fluid lines 24 and 25 open together at the fluidic node 29 and the fluid lines 26 and 27 open together at the fluidic node 31 from.
- the fluidic node 28 is connected via a supply line 36 to a fluid source 32, while the fluidic node 30 is connected via an exhaust duct 37 with a fluid outlet, which is associated with a muffler 33.
- the fluidic node 29 forms a first working port of the valve device 2 and is connected via a first connecting line 38 to a fluid port 39 of the compressed air consumer 3, while the fluidic node 31 has a second working port of the valve.
- L healthy 2 forms and is connected via a second connecting line 40 with a fluid port 41 of the compressed air consumer 3.
- the supply line 36, the exhaust air line 37, the first connecting line 38 and the second connecting line 40 to each be assigned a pressure sensor 42 to 45, each for detecting the respective fluid pressure in the associated line 36, 37, 38 and 40 and for providing a pressure-dependent sensor signal via a respective associated sensor line 46 to 49 to the processing device 19 is formed.
- at least one of the pressure sensors is arranged in a housing for the valve device or outside of such a housing.
- the compressed air consumer 3 is designed purely by way of example as a double-acting pneumatic cylinder, in which a working piston 50, also referred to as a movable wall, is received linearly movable in a cylinder recess 51 of a cylinder housing 52 and thereby separates a first variable-size working space 53 from a second variable-volume working space 54.
- the working piston 50 is connected to a piston rod 55, which passes through the cylinder housing 52 on the front side and can be displaced together with the working piston 50 along a rectilinear movement path 56 relative to the cylinder housing 52.
- the working piston 50 is to be moved, starting from the position shown in FIG. 1, in such a way that one end face of the working piston 50 comes into contact with an inner surface 58 of the cylinder housing 52 disposed opposite to it.
- the predeterminable movement profile is embodied such that initially a uniform acceleration of the working piston 50 to a predefinable target speed, then a uniform movement of the working piston while maintaining the target speed and finally a deceleration of the working piston 50 to a vanishing speed.
- valve element 4 and of the valve element 6 are provided by way of example, wherein a fluidically communicating connection between the fluid source 32, the fluidic node 29 and the second fluid port 39 is established via the valve element 4 and via the valve element 6 a fluidically communicating connection between the first fluid port 41, the fluidic node 31 and the fluid outlet with associated muffler 33 is made.
- the processing device 19 first determines the sensor signal. nale of the pressure sensors 42 to 45 in order to calculate pressure ratios over the two valve elements 4 and 6 can. Based on these pressure ratios, a flow value for the respective valve element 4, 6 from the two fluid pressures and a flow function can be determined for each of the valve elements 4 and 6 in a subsequent step in the processing device 19. Subsequently, a linkage of the respective determined flow value with a predeterminable fluid volume flow or fluid mass flow, which is to be made available to the respective working space 53, 54, in order to achieve the desired movement of the working piston 50 according to the movement profile.
- the result of this combination is referred to as conductance and is required to determine a required actuation energy for the respective magnetic drive 8, 10.
- the actuation energy is determined for each of the magnetic drives 8, 10 by linking the conductance with a, in particular experimentally determined, valve characteristic. Subsequently, the actuation energy to the respective magnetic drives 8, 10 is provided and there leads to a movement of the respective unspecified valve spool of the respective valve elements 4, 6 and thus to a release of a fluidly communicating connection between the respective fluidic nodes 28 and 29 and 31 and 30.
- a respective fluid volume flow or fluid mass flow is established between the fluid source 32 and the working space 54 and between the working space 53 and the muffler 33, which changes with a change in the pressures in the respective fluid lines 20 to 27 goes along.
- the processing device 19 By cyclically recurring determination of the sensor signals of the pressure sensors 42 to 45 and the subsequent processing of the pressure conditions according to the above procedure, the processing device 19, the fluid volume flows for the two working chambers 53, 54 of the compressed air consumer 3 set so that the desired movement profile for the working piston 50 is maintained.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 differ from the fluidic system 1 according to FIG. 1 in that the compressed air consumer 63 is designed purely by way of example as a single-acting pneumatic cylinder, so that only one in the respective cylinder housing 64 Working space 65 is formed.
- the valve device 62 is designed, for example, as a proportional 3/3-way valve, in which in the illustrated switching position, which can also be referred to as rest position or neutral position, fluidically communicating connections between a fluid source 66, a working port 67 and a Fluids outlet 68 are blocked with muffler.
- the valve spool 69 of the valve device 62 can be brought into two different functional positions with the aid of the associated magnetic drives 70, 71. In the first functional position, a fluidically communicating connection between the fluid source 66 and the working space 65 is established. In the second functional position, a fluidically communicating connection between the working space 65 and the fluid outlet 68 is produced.
- the processing device 72 is designed in the same way as the processing device 19 according to FIG. 1 and thus makes it possible to provide a supply of sensor signals from the pressure sensors 73, 74, 75 predeterminable fluid flow in the working space 65 and from the working space 65th
- valve devices 92 are each in the form of proportional 2/2-way valves 100,
- valve spools 99 as valve elements and can be controlled individually by the associated processing device 102 in order to ensure an optional provision of pressurized fluid from the fluid source 66 into the working space 65 or from the working space 65 to the fluid outlet 68.
- the processing device 102 controls the valve spools 99 in order to ensure an optional provision of pressurized fluid from the fluid source 66 into the working space 65 or from the working space 65 to the fluid outlet 68.
- 102 is formed in the same way as the processing device 19 according to FIG. 1 and thus makes it possible to provide predeterminable fluid flows into the working space 65 and out of the working space 65 on the basis of sensor signals of the pressure sensors 103, 104, 105.
