The EL7 series, a proportional valve control for modern systems, has been part of ARGO-HYTOS’ portfolio for many years. Delivered in high volumes and proven in real-world applications of our customers, it is a trusted solution for controlling proportional valves across a wide range of industries. This success is the reason that ARGO-HYTOS is continually developing it.

New mobile applications

New mobile applications for EL7are now available for Android and iOS. The updated Android app ensures compatibility with current operating systems, while the new iOS app extends accessibility for Apple users.

Updates are delivered automatically via the official app stores, while the intuitive user experience remains unchanged. Parameterization and monitoring via Bluetooth remain simple and efficient, especially during commissioning and service.

Unified firmware

A new EL7 firmware has been released, now unified for analog and CANopen variants. This simplifies handling and enables firmware updates directly via the mobile application.

Extended CANopen functionality

The CANopen variant gains new capabilities. Error states are now transmitted directly via the CAN bus. Previously, diagnostics were only available via the mobile app or a local LED. Now, this data can also be processed in higher-level control systems, enabling deeper system integration.

Key benefits 

• Improved diagnostics and transparency
• Error logging and remote evaluation
• Simplified firmware handling
• Enhanced CANopen integration

These updates improve system monitoring, fault response, and integration into modern hydraulic architectures. 
With these enhancements, EL7 remains a compact and reliable solution for modern hydraulic systems.
