EtherNet/IP fieldbus valve terminal, 16 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 16 valve positions, all fitted with spring-return 5/2-way valves. A EtherNet/IP 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. Overall length is 256.5 mm.

Advantages

• EtherNet/IP bus module with 2x M12 socket, 4-pin, D-coded (bus in/out), module current draw below 120 mA.
• 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 16 valves draw 12.8 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.

Applications

• Machines on a EtherNet/IP network, where the terminal is daisy-chained to the next node through its two bus ports.
• Packaging and feeding systems in which 16 actuators are switched from one central manifold.
• 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.
