On/off process valves can be automated in different ways using pneumatics. This white paper looks at automation using an individual valve, a valve terminal and a digital valve terminal, and compares the three actuation methods in terms of:

• Required hardware/components and the installation

effort involved

• Investment costs

• Potential for compressed air savings and increased

energy efficiency

• Diagnostic and maintenance options

• Potential for function integration

• Possible applications in safety-related circuits

• Possible applications in potentially explosive areas

The double-sided poster shows the complete variety and far-reaching functional integration of the electrical terminal CPX and the two valve terminals MPA and VTSA. The electrical functions and connection options of the CPX modules as well as the valve functions and other pneumatic additional functions of the valve terminals MPA and VTSA are clearly presented by tables and graphics. What they all have in common are the part numbers and type codes in the tables, so that they can be ordered directly without a long search.
