A self-monitoring hydraulic control valve unit has a main valve and a control valve for controlling supply of hydraulic fluid to a control duct of the main valve. A differential piston is connected in the control duct and has a longitudinal bore which forms part of the control duct, the piston acting at its smaller diameter end on the shutter of the main valve. An electrical monitoring switch such as a proximity switch monitors the position of the differential piston and, therefore, of the main valve. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
Valving apparatus comprising a main valve, said main valve including a main valve housing having a valve bore and inlet and outlet passages therein, a first differential piston as a closure member slidable in said bore, a valve spring engaging said closure member, said closure member having a first position for shutting said inlet and outlet passages and a second position for opening the same, a pilot valve, said pilot valve including a separate pilot valve housing, a valve spool, a first duct for supplying fluid under pressure, a second duct for venting fluid to a tank and a control duct, a control line, said control line connecting said control duct of said pilot valve to said closure member of said main valve and including a second differential piston slidable in a connecting bore, said second differential piston having a relatively larger piston area, a relatively smaller piston area and a longitudinal bore interconnecting both piston areas and forming a part of said control line, said relatively larger piston area facing said pilot valve, said relatively smaller piston area facing said main valve and cooperating with said closure member for following said first and second positions thereof and taking first and second positions, if there is fluid under pressure in the control line, and electric means for monitoring said positions of said second differential piston.
2.
Valving apparatus set forth in claim 1 including a spring, said spring acting upon said second differential piston to urge the latter in the direction to said pilot valve, and a spring chamber, said spring chamber being connected to said tank.
3.
Valving apparatus set forth in claim 1 wherein said second differential piston has a shoulder between said relatively larger and smaller areas and said electric means is a proximity switch cooperating with said shoulder.
4.
Valving apparatus set forth in claim 1 including a second main valve and a second pilot valve for controlling said second main valve, said second main valve being arranged in a line connected to said inlet passage of said first main valve upstream thereof, said second main valve, when open, diverting fluid to said tank
