In pneumatics, valve terminals refer to a combination of several individual valves. They are combined by a central voltage and compressed air supply, so all valves on a valve terminal are supplied together, both with electrical and pneumatic power. This saves on individual tubing lines and push-in fittings and reduces cabling work. Valve terminals are connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC) by default.
In addition to standards-based and universal valve terminals, Festo also supplies application-specific valve terminals as well as electrical peripheral devices and accessories.
Our standards-based valve terminals are valve modules in accordance with standards ISO 15407-1, 15407-2 and ISO 5599-2 for standard valves that offer versatile valve functions and are available with plug-in or individual connections.
Universal valve terminals are sturdy and modular valve modules intended primarily for standard tasks.
Application-specific valve terminals, on the other hand, are space-saving and compact and designed for special requirements.
You will find accessories for your valve terminal in the form of valves, sub-bases and manifolds, mounting components, actuator attachments as well as valve module-specific products.
