Directional control valves are described according to the number of switching positions and the number of ports per switch position. The switch position is indicated by the left starting with lowercase letters in alphabetical order.

With directional control valves, the direction of the volume flow, i.e. the direction of extension of a cylinder and controlled by start-stop commands, the path length of the stroke.
