 New Electronic OLSS
NC(Lever stroke control), TVC(PC Horse power control) and CO functions are
controlled fully electrically by EPC valve in the New Electronic OLSS.
PC850-8E0 Three input signals are sent to Pump
controller.
①Pump pressure
②Jet sensor differential pressure
③Engine speed

Pump discharge amount is controlled

electrically by EPC valve.
Control current to EPC valve is output
signal from Pump controller basing on
above input signals.
CO function, CO cancel, E-Mode setting are
controlled electrically without any special
valves.
Horse power of Work equipment is
reserved independently from Fan Pump
absorption horse power, so no influence for
Work equipment speed free from
temperatures.

★Pump controller makes commands to increase or decrease Pump discharge
amount basing on Logic ( Algorithm ) as below.
・PQ curve ( PC, power constant control = horse Power Calculation )
・Lever stroke ( NC, negative control control = LS control = Lever Stroke )
・Maximum oil flow amount
・CO, cut-off function or CO cancel

Increase current to EPC → EPC output pressure increases

→ Pump discharge amount increases
Decrease current to EPC → EPC output pressure decreases
→ Pump discharge amount decreases

★Pump controller calculates Hydraulic Fan absorption Horse Power , and decides
the Engine output Horse Power by adding Work equipment Horse Power. The 2nd
throttle signal is sent to Engine controller .

（The lower oil or water temperature becomes, the less entire horse power is consumed. As
temperature rises, entire horse power is consumed more according to increased Cooling Fan
speed. Therefore work equipment performance doesn’t change depending on oil and coolant
temperaturse.）

 ★P- Mode (Power mode) and E-Mode (economy mode) are selected
on the machine monitor function. PC800, 850-8E0 & R1
Have P0 and P1. P0 cancels CO and CO is ON for P1.
★Cut off function (ON & OFF) is controlled by EPC current.
★E-Mode is set 4 stage on the machine monitor function.
Once Controller is failed, no current to EPC is provided and it makes minimum
pump discharge and so machine speed becomes very slow. In this case,
Emergency pump drive switch can be used for emergency drive of the machine :

★ Neutral circuit ( same as conventional OLSS )
・Higher pressure side : Pt
Pt (Yellow = NCA ) is jet from orifice upper side of Jet sensor.
・Lower pressure side : Pd
On the other hand Lower pressure ( blue = NCB) drained to tank is
introduced to Jet sensor.

★Jet sensor differential pressure ＝ between NCA and NCB

・Detecting the oil flow amount in neutral circuit by differential pressure.
・Large pressure ＝Lever in neutral or Lever stroke small
→reduce Pump discharge amount NC function
・Small pressure＝ Lever is operated fully → increase Pump discharge amount

★ Jet sensor differential pressure sensor

・For electrical NC function , differential pressure → stroke → voltage
・Controller detects lever stroke electrically, and decides VC valve output (EPC
current )
.・According to EPC current Pump angle or discharge amount is controlled.
→Electronic NC control
（ In the conventional OLSS Pt and Pd are sent to NC valve connected with hydraulic hose. NC
function is controlled hydraulically. ）

① EPC valve output pressure（SE1)changes

→ VC valve outer yellow spool is pushed

→VC valve output pressure (Ps) changes

⑤ Relative position between outer yellow spool and inner & balance

⑥ Balancing at Ph：Ps=2:1 → Servo piston stops 17

★According to EPC current Servo piston is balanced at several kinds of
position from minimum to maximum. Pressures balance is Ph : Ps = 2 : 1
( Or current is always changing, so servo piston is moving with balancing)
★On the actual measurement, even the Lever is in neutral we confirmed
Ph : Ps = 3.3MPa : 1.65MPa Minimum and maximum positions are balanced
or Servo piston hits the stoppers. Min. is 1.65 to 3.3 (stopper), Control pressure
and Max. is ½ of pump pressure to zero(stopper).
→ We can confirm if VC valve is working well by these values.

Flow of Control Pressure

Fan pump supplies pressure oil to Self

Pressure Reducing valve and it is
reduced and Control pressure, 3.24
MPa is generated.

This Control pressure is provided to the

EPC valve(top) to control Fan pump
swash plate angle and also to the EPC
valve(lower) for VC valve control of Main
pump when all levers are in neutral
position. Because Main pump pressure
is low, 1.6 MPa even when Engine
speed is full and the Control pressure,
3.24 MPa opens the shuttle valve and
flows into VC valve as the source
pressure.

19
Servo Control Pressure

Pump controller sends command

current to EPC valve and output
pressure, Pe goes out proportionally.
The VC valve sleeve is lifted up or
pushed down proportionally retracting
spring.

The higher one, Control or Main pump

pressures is introduced to VC valve as
the power source. The Servo control
pressure makes higher or lower in the
Servo large end chamber, or Servo
control pressure. When Servo piston
moves and swash plate angle changes,
the trapezoid plate is followed up and
closes the center spool of VC valve to
be stopped in a balanced position.

Direction to Maximum
VC & Servo position
①The high output pressure
enters VC valve and lifts up
Sleeve(2). The passage A
opens and the Servo
pressure in the large end,
PS is drained and the small
end Pump ( or Control)
pressure PH pushes Servo
piston to the right stroke
end.
②The trapezoid cam(8) is
connected with Servo
piston and it pushes up
Spool(3) and closes the
passage A.

at the same time and
continuously.)

①When EPC output

pressure lowers, Spring(1)
pushes down Sleeve(2)
and passage A closes and
passage B opens. Pump
pressure flows into the

Servo piston is pushed to
left stroke end.

②The trapezoid cam(8) is

Arm Quick Return Valve

When the control lever is moved to the arm OUT

position, pilot pressure from the PPC valve
pushes pilot spool (1) and the pressurized oil from
chamber (b) inside the valve is drained through
orifice (c).

The oil in the arm bottom side flows in the
sequence of orifice (a) to chamber (b) to orifice
(c) to drain, and the pressure in chamber (b)
lowers.

If the pressure of chamber(b) drops lower than
the pressure of port (A), port (A) pressure acts on
the ring shaped area (C) formed by the difference
between valve (2) outside diameter (d1) and seat
diameter (d2) (=fd1 area –fd2 area).

Valve (2) moves up, and the pressurized oil is
transmitted from port (A) to port (B). From port (B),
the oil is drained directly to the tank. 25
