PROFIBUS DP fieldbus valve terminal, 16 x 5/2-way single solenoid, M7 top ports on the valves, 24 V DC - E.MC

Where 16 double-acting cylinders or grippers are switched from one point, this terminal replaces 16 individual valves and their supply tubing. A PROFIBUS DP bus module comes fitted, so the controller addresses every solenoid over the network. Each station delivers around 330 l/min through its M7 ports.

Advantages

• 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.
• PROFIBUS DP bus module with M12, B-coded, module current draw below 50 mA.
• Response time of 15 ms or less at 5 bar and up to 5 switching cycles per second per valve.

Applications

• Systems on a PROFIBUS DP fieldbus where the valves sit close to the actuators and only the bus cable runs to the cabinet.
• 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.
