As power shift pressure decreases, pump output increases - As power shift pressure increases, pump output decreases Power shift pressure ensures that the pumps can use all of the available engine horsepower for the hydraulic system at all times without exceeding the output of the engine NOTE: The target rpm is the full load speed for a specific engine "no load" rpm Engine target rpm is determined by the opening of one of the implement, swing, and/or travel pressure switches at the end of an operation The Machine ECM then waits 2.5 seconds and records the engine speed This specific rpm is the "new" no load rpm The Machine ECM then controls the power shift pressure to regulate pump flow to maintain the full load (target) rpm for the recorded no load rpm Target rpm can change each time the pressure switches open for more than 2.5 seconds SERV1852-02 08/08 -8- Text Reference Main Pumps PROPORTIONAL REDUCING SOLENOID VALVE PWM SIGNAL INCREASE Solenoid Plunger Spring Tank Power Shift Pressure Pilot Pressure The proportional reducing solenoid valve (PRV) for the power shift pressure is located on the drive pump control valve group The proportional reducing solenoid valve receives supply oil from the pilot pump The solenoid receives a pulse width modulated signal (PWM signal) from the Machine ECM The PWM signal sent from the Machine ECM causes the proportional reducing solenoid valve to regulate the pilot pressure to the pump control valve groups to a reduced pressure This reduced pressure is called power shift pressure (PS) The output flow of the drive pump and the idler pump is controlled in accordance with the power shift pressure The power shift pressure is used to control the maximum hydraulic pump output in relation to the engine rpm A decrease in engine speed causes an increase in power shift pressure and a decrease in pump flow SERV1852-02 08/08 -9- Text Reference Main Pumps When the speed dial is at dial position 10, if the Machine ECM senses a decrease in engine speed below target rpm, the Machine ECM increases the PWM signal sent to the solenoid The magnetic force of the solenoid increases As the magnetic force of the solenoid becomes greater than the force of the spring, the spool moves down against the force of the spring The downward movement of the spool blocks the flow of oil to the tank More power shift pressure oil is now directed to the pump control valve group The increased power shift pressure acts on the drive pump control valve group and the idler pump control valve group If both pumps are upstroked, then both pumps will destroke as a result of the increase in power shift pressure If only one pump is upstroked, only the upstroked pump will destroke SERV1852-02 08/08 - 10 - Text Reference Main Pumps PROPORTIONAL REDUCING SOLENOID VALVE PWM SIGNAL DECREASE Solenoid Plunger Spring Tank Power Shift Pressure Pilot Pressure If engine speed is above the target rpm, the Machine ECM decreases the power shift pressure to increase the pump flow When the Machine ECM senses an increase in engine speed above the target speed the Machine ECM decreases the PWM signal sent to the proportional reducing solenoid valve As the magnetic force of the proportional reducing solenoid valve becomes less than the force of the spring, the spool moves up The upward movement of the spool restricts the pilot oil flow to the power shift passage and opens the power shift passage to the drain The power shift pressure is reduced The reduced power shift pressure acts on the drive pump control valve group and the idler pump control valve group Depending on which circuits are activated, the drive pump and/or the idler pump will upstroke as a result of a decrease in power shift pressure SERV1852-02 08/08 -

power shift pressure - system pressure from that pump - cross sensing pressure (from the other pump) - Negative Flow Control (NFC) pressure Power Shift Pressure: The power shift PRV receives a control signal from the ECM The ECM sends an electrical signal to the power shift PRV to regulate power shift pressure in relation to the engine speed The power shift signal to the pump control valve groups enables the machine to maintain the target engine speed for maximum productivity SERV1852-02 08/08 - 24 - Text Reference Main Pumps If the Machine ECM senses that the engine is below the target speed due to a high hydraulic load from the main pumps, the Machine ECM will increase the power shift pressure The target speed is the full load for the no load engine speed (The new no load speed is taken 2.5 seconds after the implement/swing and the travel pressure switches open when the joysticks and the travel control pilot controls are returned to NEUTRAL) As power shift pressure increases, the pump control valve groups destroke the main pumps accordingly This reduces the load on the engine, and consequently enables the engine to maintain the target engine speed If the engine speed is above the target speed, the Machine ECM will decrease power shift pressure, causing the pumps to upstroke and produce more flow Cross sensing Control Pressure: Each pump control valve group gets a cross sensing control pressure from the other pump system pressure Cross sensing pressure is essentially an average pressure from the output of the drive pump and the idler pump Negative Flow Control (NFC): NFC is the primary controlling signal for the main pump output The NFC signal to the main pump control valve group is generated in the main control valve group The NFC signal is delivered to the left and right pump control valve groups from the left and right halves of the main control valve group, respectively When the joysticks or travel levers are in the NEUTRAL position, the oil flows from the main pumps through the open center bypass passages of the control valves The oil flows to the valves and returns to the tank by way of the NFC control orifices The restriction of the NFC orifices causes a pressure signal to be sent to the right and left pump control valve groups, respectively, as an NFC signal When the main pump control valve groups receive a high NFC signal from the main control valves, the pumps remain at a standby output flow at or near minimum pump displacement When a joystick or travel lever is moved from a NEUTRAL position, the open-center passage of the corresponding implement/travel function is closed in proportion to spool movement This reduces the NFC signal to the main pump control valve and the pump output flow is increased proportionally When the control valve is fully shifted, the NFC pressure is reduced to slow return check valve pressure The use of an NFC hydraulic system maximizes efficiency of the machine by only producing flow from the pumps when the flow is needed NOTE: A high NFC signal will always overcomes the horsepower control and decrease pump flow to minimum SERV1852-02 08/08 -
