5 Port Solenoid Valve VQC

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides comprehensive details on the Series VQC1000/2000 5 Port Solenoid Valve, emphasizing its power-saving features, compatibility with various fieldbus systems, and flexible manifold configurations.

Specifications:

RoHS compliant and IP67 enclosure for dust-tight and immersion-proof protection.
Power consumption reduced by 60% compared to previous models, with standard usage at 0.4 W and high-pressure usage at 0.95 W.
Compatible with fieldbus protocols such as DeviceNet™, PROFIBUS DP, CC-Link, EtherNet/IP™, EtherCAT, and PROFINET.

Features:

Self-diagnosis function for maintenance prediction and part identification.
Flexible manifold configurations with metal and rubber seal options.
Connector type manifold with M12/M8 connector selection.
Gateway unit types for decentralized serial wiring, accommodating up to 9 units.

Manifold Options:

Kits available for various wiring needs, including D-sub connector, flat ribbon cable, terminal block box, and circular connector.
Manifold pitch options of 10.5 mm and 16 mm, with flow-rate characteristics for different configurations.
Adjustable connector entry direction for flexible installation.

Applications:

Suitable for cylinder bore sizes up to ø80 mm.
Usable in configurations like dual 3-port valves and 4-position, 5-port type valves.

Additional Information:

Includes a cylinder speed chart for performance guidelines.
Detailed ordering information and manifold options for customization.

Procedures:
Instructions for ordering and installing manifold options, using specific codes for port sizes and mounting positions. Procedure for removing port plugs using an M3 screw.

Norms and Standards:
References JIS B 8375-1981 for supply pressure standards and guidelines for cylinder operation and air leakage prevention.

Recommendations:
Use screw piping with M5 threads for long-term cylinder stopping, check for air leakage with detergent, and ensure proper tightening torque. Avoid combining certain valve types with double check blocks.

Key Components and Options:

Double Check Block: Maintains cylinder position with a built-in pilot type double check valve and a 3-position exhaust center solenoid valve.
Back Pressure Check Valve: Prevents cylinder malfunction due to exhaust entry from other valves.
Silencer: Recommended for EXH ports to reduce noise.
Individual SUP/EXH Spacers: For individual valve exhaust and supply pressure management.

Dimensions and Formulas:
Detailed dimensions and formulas for calculating manifold lengths based on station count, with tables for L1, L2, and L3 dimensions.

Warnings and Cautions:
Highlights potential air leakage from fittings, importance of proper tightening torque, and avoiding excessive restriction of exhaust in double check blocks. Advises against certain fitting and solenoid valve combinations.

Manual Override and Solenoid Valve Handling:
Instructions for operating manual overrides and mounting/removing solenoid valves, emphasizing proper torque to avoid air leakage.

Fitting Assembly and Replacement:
Process for replacing cylinder port fittings, avoiding scratches and dust on O-rings, and specifying part numbers for fitting assemblies.

Safety Instructions:
Includes need for qualified personnel, grounding for noise reduction, periodic inspections, and warnings against use in explosive or corrosive environments.

EX600 Precautions:
Outlines specific precautions for the EX600 series, including operating within specified ranges and proper mounting and wiring to maintain IP67 protection.

Wiring Precautions:

Avoid excessive bending or stretching of cables.
Ensure correct wiring to prevent malfunction or damage.
Do not wire while energized to prevent damage.

Power Supply and Installation:

Use a class 2 power supply unit as per UL1310 for compliance.
Operate within specified voltage ranges.
Ensure 0 V standard for output and control/input power supplies.
Maintain adequate space for maintenance.

Operating Environment:

Avoid flammable or explosive atmospheres.
Protect against noise and static electricity.
Avoid environments with oil, chemicals, or corrosive substances.

Adjustment and Maintenance:

Do not operate with wet hands to avoid electrical shock.
Ensure safety when using forced input/output functions.
Perform periodic inspections and functionality checks after maintenance.

Gateway unit types include DeviceNet™, PROFIBUS DP, and EtherNet/IP™. Because just one gateway unit controls up to 4 branch lines, it offers much more freedom in choosing valve mounting locations in comparison with other serial units. Manifolds and input blocks can be mounted near the actuator, allowing for use of short air piping or electric wiring. The...
