Valve terminals: the automation platform
of the 21st century

Loading the player ...

Big trend: function integration on valve terminals

Function integration means increased productivity and reduced installation

Electrical components: up to 512 digital/analogue I/O, temperature and pressure sensors
Pneumatics: up to 128 valves
Proportional pneumatics: up to eight pressure regulators on the bus
Servopneumatics: positioning and soft stop for up to eight axes
Motion control: electrical drives, synchronous/asynchronous/2.5 D interpolation
Safety engineering: press valves, special valves and start-up pressurisation
