Die UHC-326-U-PFN ermöglicht maximale Flexibilität bei gleichbleibendem Druck. Die bewährte Funktion der UHC-126-U-PFN bleibt erhalten, gleichzeitig bringt FlexiMod maximale Anpassungsmöglichkeiten. Dieses hydraulische Steuergerät wurde für eine genaue Achspositionierung mit ablösender Druckregelung entwickelt. Das Modul ist für den Einbau in einem geschirmten EMV-Gehäuse (Schaltschrank) vorgesehen und wird auf einer Hutschiene montiert. Die Schutzart ist IP20.
The module is controlled via Profinet. Actual pressure data is read in via the analog input. Actual position data can be read in either via SSI or as an analog value. The output signal can be either a 0-10V or a 4-20mA signal.
Die Konfiguration erfolgt über die integrierte USB-Schnittstelle (digitaler COM-Port) sowie über das kostenlose WPC-300 Programm. Die UHC-326-U-PFN eignet sich für alle Applikationen in denen sowohl Position als auch Druck einer Achse geregelt werden müssen. Über das integrierte FlexiMod-Skriptsystem kann das Steuergerät flexibel an die Applikation angepasst werden.
Our new POS-324-U-PFN expands the proven POS-124-U-PFN with four new features: intelligent axis coordination and individual script extension, Profinet communication expansion and integrated simulation mode.
In addition to the proven synchronous control, which enables precise and synchronous movement of both axes on one plane, the following new functions are available:
FlexiMod allows for script-based implementation of additional functions. Furthermore, intelligent axis movement is now possible, allowing both axes to reach their individual target positions simultaneously, regardless of the path profile. Furthermore, the application can be qualitatively tested in a simulation mode on the device. Finally, Profinet communication is now expandable to 64 bytes.
Looking for a replacement for discontinued Bosch Rexroth control units? We’ve got something for you!
The new pump controller PQP-179-P is a versatile and cost-effective solution for hydraulic systems, especially for the precise control of axial piston pumps such as the A4V and A2V series. It ensures accurate swivel angle adjustment via the internal spool position controller, making it an ideal replacement for the discontinued Bosch Rexroth VT-VPCD and compatible with all common pumps.
The module enhances the performance and reliability of hydraulic systems in both mobile and stationary applications – such as hydraulic presses, injection molding machines, mobile machinery across various industries, as well as marine and offshore applications. It enables precise control and reduces the need for additional valves and complex control systems. With the PQP-179-P, users can extend the lifespan of their machines, lower maintenance costs, and improve system efficiency – all without expensive upgrades.
What can you expect from us in the new year? We’ve developed new solutions for various applications:
Take a look at our overview here: Flyer News 2025 Flyer Neuigkeiten 2025
The plug-in amplifier family is being expanded with the Duo amplifier – a compact valve amplifier designed for direct mounting on the solenoid coil of directional valves with two coils. A single amplifier handles the coordination and control of both solenoids for smooth directional control.
The amplifier regulates both solenoids using a single parameter set. External mechanisms for matching setpoints between two different devices are no longer necessary. Thanks to the flexible control cable, the connection can be routed to a more convenient location, reducing the space required for valve installation. The satellite cable for the second solenoid is sufficiently long, allowing for unrestricted selection of valve sizes.
Programming is done using the proven WEST software WPC-300, so there’s no need to learn new software.

An especially cost-effective and precise axis control, flexible additional functions, and a smooth and fast commissioning – all of this is offered by our new module POS-321-P.
In addition to the already familiar commissioning assistant, this unit integrates a scripting language based on the “FlexiMod” concept.
This allows the device’s functionality to be easily adapted to the requirements of various applications without the need for external control systems.
Implementing oscillation controls, parameter switching, custom monitoring functions, etc., is extremely simple – no programming knowledge is required.
A particular advantage is that the basic axis positioning function is already available in the delivery state. This function can be customized and extended via the script.
With the PQP-179-P, WEST has developed a universal pump controller that leaves nothing to be desired. The device is suitable for pumps in open or closed hydrostatic circuits. In addition to the essential swivel angle control, numerous functions can be activated depending on the application:
LVDT sensors for swivel angle and spool position can also be easily and cost-effectively integrated via the LDT-401 expansion module. This makes the PQP-179-P an excellent, economical, and high-performance alternative to OEM pump controllers – both for new installations and as a replacement for outdated or discontinued devices, such as the VT-VPCD cards from Bosch Rexroth.
FlexiMod offers a simple concept for integrating application-oriented solutions in electrohydraulics, combining the availability benefits of standard solutions with the individuality of custom designs.
Under the guiding principle “Parameterizing instead of programming,” W.E.St. Elektronik GmbH simplifies the implementation of customer-specific functions based on a standard device series, for which the script-based FlexiMod concept was developed. It adds a flexible layer to a fixed core of control and hardware-related functions, making it extremely easy to use and requiring minimal programming knowledge.
In the basic configuration, all process and setpoint signals are read in and, depending on the version, output to the driver stage or analog outputs. The actual signal processing function can be freely defined in the script. No programming skills or experience with common PLC programming languages are required. The script editor is clearly structured in rows and columns, where each row represents the result of an operation and the columns define the input signals. These are processed cyclically from top to bottom.
The script environment provides all logical operators, timing functions, mathematical operators, and several special functions. This allows for the generation of simple signals like a sawtooth waveform or the implementation of more complex tasks such as oscillating drives for cylinders.
We also offer variants that come with basic functionality pre-installed, such as positioning control. To shorten development time, users can make individual adjustments directly within this framework without having to implement the core function from scratch.
The WestScript scripting environment is available as a free download and supports both online and offline configuration. A convenient feature is the integrated oscilloscope, which allows users to simulate signal behavior during implementation to validate and adjust functionality before commissioning
The hardware architecture of the new series offers higher processing power, ensuring that even script-based applications maintain a cycle time of no more than 1 ms. It is platform-based and uses existing expansion modules, meaning FlexiMod derivatives are available off-the-shelf in various configurations – e.g., with or without power output stages or network interfaces. The base module includes analog and digital I/Os that can be flexibly configured via script for process and setpoint signals, often eliminating the need for additional controllers or I/O units.
Custom solutions are often commissioned from component manufacturers or require extensive PLC programming. Both approaches involve significant time, cost, and expertise, typically taking months. In contrast, script development with FlexiMod can be completed in days or just a few weeks. W.E.St. Elektronik offers services to develop scripts tailored to customer applications or to support users in doing so. It’s also possible to receive an OEM version with the custom configuration already onboard at delivery.
Thanks to the adaptability of devices with the FlexiMod Engine, they become a kind of Swiss Army knife for various tasks. For example, they can serve as functional replacements for control units during machine upgrades or repairs, faithfully replicating previous functionality.
A key advantage for system integrators and machine builders is that multiple configurations can be covered with just a few catalog numbers, allowing integration into different system or machine variants. At the same time, logistics for procurement and inventory are simplified, as only one hardware base needs to be stocked instead of multiple derivatives.ür Systemintegratoren und/oder Maschinenbauern zu Gute kommt, ist dass mit nur wenigen Katalognummern verschiedene Konfiguration abgebildet werden können, die in unterschiedliche Varianten ihrer Systeme/Maschinen integriert werden. Gleichzeitig wird die Logistik rund um die Beschaffung und Lagerhaltung einfacher, da nur eine Hardwarebasis anstelle von unterschiedlichen Derivaten bereitgehalten werden muss.
The first devices featuring the FlexiMod Engine are the fully configurable modules DSG-112-U (with analog outputs) and DSG-112-P (with power output stage) for direct control of valve solenoids.
