The valve control module VAEM makes precise switching of solenoid valves easier than ever. Up to 8 channels can be parameterised individually. A temporary resolution of only 0.2 ms and the control of the valves via current – not voltage – enable extremely high preci­sion, e.g. for dispensing applications. The holding current reduction saves energy and minimises heat input.

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.
