IO-Link fieldbus valve terminal, 4 x 5/2-way single solenoid, M7 top ports on the valves, 24 V DC - E.MC

On an 11.5 mm pitch this manifold carries 4 valve positions, all fitted with spring-return 5/2-way valves. A IO-Link bus module comes fitted, so the controller addresses every solenoid over the network. The M7 ports are located on top of the valves, and supply and common exhaust are connected through G 1/8. At 118.5 mm overall length the manifold fits into tight enclosures.

Advantages

• Response time of 15 ms or less at 5 bar and up to 5 switching cycles per second per valve.
• Only 0.8 W per solenoid at 24 V DC ±10 %, so 4 valves draw 3.2 W in total.
• Diagnostics report communication faults, short circuit, wire break, reverse polarity and under- or overvoltage, and the output state on bus failure can be parameterised.
• M7 ports with a nominal cross-section of 7 mm² (Cv 0.39), around 330 l/min flow per station.
• IO-Link bus module with M12, A-coded, port class B, module current draw below 25 mA.

Applications

• Decentralised valve group on an IO-Link master, connected by a single M12 cable to a class B port.
• Small handling and test stations with 4 pneumatic axes in a confined space.
• Medium-bore cylinders that move briskly with 330 l/min per station.
• Cabinet or machine mounting with easily accessible tube connections on top of each valve.

Conversion and extension

The valves can be swapped for individually available valves with one or two solenoids or for blanking plates. Stations are counted from the electrical connection.
