Bridge cards are available in long and short versions:
The long bridge card is always located directly on the bus coupler. It bridges the transition plate and
the first pneumatic supply plate.
The short bridge card is used to bridge additional pneumatic supply plates.
12.2.8
UA-OFF monitoring board
The UA-OFF monitoring board is an alternative to the short bridge card in the pneumatic supply plate
(see Fig. 15 on page 111).
The electrical UA-OFF monitoring board monitors the actuator voltage UA for status UA < UA-OFF.
All voltages are directly passed through. The UA-OFF monitoring board must therefore always
be installed after an electrical supply plate to be monitored.
In contrast to the bridge card, the UA-OFF monitoring board has to be taken into account when
configuring the control.
12.2.9
Possible combinations of base plates and cards
Valve driver boards, 4x, are always combined with two 2x base plates. Table 24 shows the possible
combinations of base plates, pneumatic supply plates, electrical supply plates, and transition plates
with various valve driver boards, bridge cards, and supply boards.

Two base plates are linked with a valve driver board.
The boards in the AV-EP base plates are installed permanently and can therefore not
be combined with other base plates.
12.3 Identifying the modules
12.3.1
Material number for bus coupler
The bus coupler can be clearly identified using its material number. When exchanging the bus
coupler, you can use the material number to reorder the same unit.
The material numberMaterial number is printed on the rating plate (12) on the back of the device
and on the top below the identification key. The material numbermaterial number for the AES series
bus coupler for DeviceNet is R412018221.
