CONTROL CONTROL > Valve Island Series H CATALOGUE > Release 8.1 12 2 2/3.15 New New The principal features are: electrical connections on the same side as the pneumatic connections, Bus-In Bus –out system for connection to the Fieldbus network, double electrical supplies, one for control and the other for power, CamiNet outlet to transfer signals to the Expansion modules, with a possibility of connecting a maximum of 15 Expansion modules up to a maximum distance of 50 m. All the internal connections are on circuit boards with plug-in connectors to make future modifications easier to achieve. The Initial module electronics are capable of handling 64 inputs and 64 outputs. The outputs are on the right hand side of the unit and the inputs on the left hand side. The 64 output units allow connection of up to 32 positions for monostable or bistable valves. Custom Made versions enable up to 60 monostable valves (10,5mm only). Any outputs not used on the IM (initial module) are transferred for use by the expansion units. Different types of elements are available for Outputs, the features of these elements determine the maximum number that can be used. The addressing and configuration is done through rotary switches located under the cover and the LEDs indicate the working state. Expansion modules are only capable of handling Outputs, up to the maximum number allowed for each IM (taken into account the number of outputs used by the IM). Connections between each of the modules are done by using cables (5 core) in various pre-cut lengths with M9 connectors. The use of expansion modules linked via the CamiNet line proves more economical as it does not require a supply and Fieldbus connection, also enabling the use of less powerful controllers. The principal features are: electrical connections on the same side as the pneumatic connections, Bus-In Bus –out system for connection to the Fieldbus network, double electrical supplies, one for control and the other for power. All the internal connections are on circuit boards with plug-in connectors to make future modifications easier to achieve. This version is capable of handling 64 inputs and 64 outputs. The outputs are on the right hand side of the unit and the inputs on the left hand side. The 64 output units allow connection of up to 32 positions for monostable or bistable valves. Custom Made versions enable up to 60 monostable valves (10,5mm only). Each island represents a node in the field bus network and as it does not have any local Fieldbus outlet it is particularly suited to a single applications or applications with a limited number of Valve islands. This feature enables economic solutions, as there is a large choice of various Input and Output modules available, which are the same as the Expansion versions. Both this version and the Initial Module plus expansion version can be equipped with Solenoid valves in size 1 (10,5mm) and size 2 (21mm), or a mixture of both sizes. Multiple pressure zones and separate electrical supplies are available using intermediate plates. With mixed islands pneumatic and electrical adaptor plates are not necessary and the number of valve positions will not be reduced as the addressing is done via rotary switches, with the LEDs indicating the working state.
