Electro-pneumatic control device using electrically operated valves - has each valve drive coupled via bus line to central electronic control device

摘要

The control device has a valve station (2) with a number of separate valves (6), each having an electrically operated valve drive (9), supplied with valve operating signals via a bus-line (25), coupled to a central control device (18). Each valve drive is connected to the bus-line via a respective bus-line interface (26). Pref. the valve station has a base plate (3) simultaneously acting as a fluid distributor (4) and as a mounting surface for the valves and the electronic control device. USE/ADVANTAGE - For (metal)machining and processing equipment. Simplified control signal distribution system.
