Digital Actuator Interface The Bray Controls Series 52 DeviceNet Digital Actuator Interface enables Pneumatic Valve Actuators to operate in On/Off service when connected to a DeviceNet network. Commands from the network can direct a Solenoid Air Valve to position the Valve Actuator fully open or fully closed. Actual valve position sensed by a Valve Status Monitor can be transmitted to other devices over the network. Module status, including both network and diagnostic information, can be transmitted over DeviceNet and visually displayed through LED indicators. Both power and data wiring are supplied through a single DeviceNet cable connection. The Series 52 DeviceNet Digital Actuator Interface is microprocessor controlled, or smart, using firmware specifically designed to complement the capabilities and features of Bray Pneumatic Actuator Accessories. It reads two digital inputs (DI) from the Valve Status Monitor, and controls one digital output (DI) to the Solenoid Air Valve. The Process Controller or PLC communicates with all three digital I/O points through a single network address, or MAC ID. All three I/O points, as well as several diagnostic parameters, are continuously monitored and accessible through the DeviceNet connection. DeviceNet DeviceNet is an economical fieldbus network used to connect industrial devices such as sensors, actuators and motors while providing access to the intelligence present in these devices. DeviceNet allows up to 64 devices to communicate with each other over a single cable that supplies both communication and power. This simplifies field wiring, enhances functionality, and reduces total system cost. Bray Controls OPERATION The Series 52 DeviceNet Digital Actuator Interface is easy to install and configure. Network wiring is done through a single DeviceNet standard five-pin connector, similar to plugging a mouse or keyboard into a personal computer. Configuration is done with Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files without adjusting potentiometers or selector switches. All configuration settings are saved in non-volatile memory so they will survive power outages. An entire Actuated Valve Assembly (shown above) requires only a single DeviceNet connector and one air supply connection to operate.

When supplied as part of a Bray DeviceNet Actuated Valve Assembly, a mounting kit is used to attach the Interface to the top of the Pneumatic Actuator as shown in the cover picture. Weatherproof cables are used to connect the Interface to the Solenoid Air Valve and the Valve Status Monitor.
