ISO valve terminal VTSA – maximum functionality-1

ISO valve terminal VTSA – maximum functionality High flow rate! Highlights • New: Serial communication with VTSA-F-CB • Maximum function integration • Very high flow rate – up to 4,000 l/min • 5 valve sizes on one terminal, up to size 2 without an adapter • Certifications: UL, CSA, CE, C-Tick, IFA • Valve replacement during operation (hot swap) • Reverse operation of valves and pressure regulators • Vacuum generator • Pressure zones • Diagnostic concept • Vertical stacking • Safety@Festo, PROFIsafe The VTSA is ideal for maximum pneumatic and electrical function integration. And the mix of 5 valve sizes on one valve terminal is unique! The VTSA is fully compliant with ISO 15407-2 and ISO 5599-2 yet is easy to integrate. It can also be used as a complete installation solution for large-scale machine concepts. Optimised for flow rate: VTSA-F. Optimised for communication: VTSA-F-CB. Versatile and easy electrical installation The terminal CPX can be used with all common fieldbus systems or Ethernet. It also has an integrated diagnostics concept. Integrated safety Thanks to intelligently combined standard components and safety valves, the requirements of ISO 13894-1 and the EU Machinery Directive are easily fulfilled. Total process safety It can even be used in harsh environments: the sturdy metal housing, completely sealed valves, as well as the ducted exhaust air and pilot air protect against failure in fine dust environments. Communicative Serial communication for significantly more applications: the internal bus system provides 96 valve addresses and up to 4 voltage zones, of which 3 can be safely disconnected. Added to this are even more high-performance modules like the new soft-start valve or the integrated vacuum generator for VTSA-F-CB. Cost-efficient Having five valve sizes on one valve terminal together with the modular system saves energy costs and money, because the required flow rate can be better adjusted per valve

ISO valve terminal VTSA – maximum functionality-7

Benefits of the VTSA: reverse and dual-pressure operation When used cleverly, reverse and dual-pressure operation can save the operator both energy and costs. The benefits of dual-pressure operation: • Energy savings of up to 50% by reducing the force for the return stroke, e.g. reversing with 3 instead of 6 bar. • Compensation of the piston's effective surface area so the advance and return strokes are carried out with the same force • Only one valve for applications in which the vacuum is to be generated externally and an ejector pulse is required • 2x3/2-way valves make for a very compact...
