EtherCAT fieldbus valve terminal, 6 x 5/2-way single solenoid, M5 side ports on the base, 24 V DC - E.MC

This E.MC S1V series valve terminal combines 6 single-solenoid 5/2-way valves on a common base plate. Supply and exhaust run centrally through G 1/8, while the M5 working ports are located on the side of the base plate. A EtherCAT bus module comes fitted, so the controller addresses every solenoid over the network. At 141.5 mm overall length the manifold fits into tight enclosures.

Advantages

• EtherCAT 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 6 valves draw 4.8 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.
• M5 ports with a nominal cross-section of 5 mm² (Cv 0.28), around 230 l/min flow per station.

Applications

• Machines on a EtherCAT network, where the terminal is daisy-chained to the next node through its two bus ports.
• Small cylinders and grippers on thin tubing, for which 230 l/min per station is sufficient.
• Small handling and test stations with 6 pneumatic axes in a confined space.
• Installation under low covers, since the tubes leave sideways from the base plate rather than upwards.

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.
