1. Loosen the three mounting screws on the sub-base (
3 rotations, so that the C-TOP+ can be attached to the mounted adapter plate.
2. Carefully position the C-TOP+ on the mounted adapter plate with the required
alignment.
3. Press and turn the C-TOP+ anti-clockwise slightly so that the teeth of the sub-
base engage properly in the ring gear of the adapter plate.
4. Secure the C-TOP+ in place with the three lateral screws (
ing torque 0.4 Nm ± 10 %.
7.1 Electrical installation
Warning
• Only use power sources which guarantee reliable electrical isolation of the
operating voltage as per IEC/DIN EN 60204-1.
• Observe also the general requirements for PELV power circuits as per
IEC/DIN EN 60204-1.
Caution
Installation errors can damage the electronics or cause malfunctions.
• Switch off the power supply before connecting or disconnecting plug connect-
ors (otherwise functional damage).
Caution
The C-TOP+ contains electrostatically sensitive components.
Electrostatic discharge caused by improper handling or incorrect earthing can
damage the internal electronics.
• Observe the handling specifications for electrostatically sensitive devices.
• Discharge yourself from static discharges before assembling or disassembling
modules to protect the modules.
• Assemble the housing of the C-TOP+ to earthed drive units in an electrically
conductive manner, or to drive units which are connected to earthed piping
systems in an electrically conductive manner.
Special power supply units for AS-interface bus systems enable power and signals
to be transmitted simultaneously via one cable.
• When selecting the devices, pay attention to the AS-interface logo.
The electrical connections that are available depend on the type used.
The power supply, the supply for the internal sensors and the load voltage supply
for the internal valves are provided via the AS-interface bus (
• Connect the C-Top+ to the AS-interface bus by using a suitable M12 adapter for
the AS-interface flat cable.
Maximum permissible overall length of the AS-interface bus (without repeater/
extender): 100 m incl. branch lines

When connecting an external sensor (sensor 4; pin 1, 3, 4):
• Only use external sensors with the specified maximum current consumption

Technical data in section 13).
The max. permissible cable length for external sensors is 2 m.
7.2 Pneumatic installation
The working ports of the integrated solenoid valves (V1 ... V3) are lead out at the
working ports A1, A2 and A3.
Establish the necessary requirements for the pneumatic installation:
– The compressed air supply is switched off.
– The compressed air lines are pressureless.
• Connect the tubing of the C-TOP+ as follows:
1. If necessary, remove the adhesive labels from the supply ports.
2. Connect the tubing of the C-TOP+ to the supply ports (

Installing a tube:
• Press the tube into the tube coupling as far as possible.
Uninstalling a tube:
• Press and hold the locking ring of the fitting (e.g. by hand or by using the QSO
releasing tool from Festo) and pull out the tube.
• Seal any non-required fittings with blanking plugs.

Warning
Danger of crushing inside the sensor bracket (
sensor bracket can lead to a collision between your fingers and the actuator and
cause injuries.
• Do not reach inside the sensor bracket.
Assigning the AS−interface slave address
• Use the addressing device to assign an unused AS−interface address to each
slave.
Depending on the product version used, the AS-interface address can be set in the
following ranges:
– V9A72-...520 : 1 to 31 (AS-interface profile S-7.F.F.E)
– V9A72-...521 : A/B operation; 1 to 31 (AS-interface profile S-7.A.7.7)
When using the factory setting (slave address 0) the status LED for the AS-inter-
face behaves as follows: LED illuminates red and flashes green (orange) simultan-
eously.
The C-TOP+ is operated as an AS-interface standard slave with 4-bit I/O data.
An AS-interface master assigns 4 bits (a nibble) to each standard slave. These 4
data bits (D0 ... D3) are used to transfer input data and output data in a bi-direc-
tional manner.

Setting the sensor position
During commissioning, define the valve position that has to be detected, by
moving the sensors on the sensor bracket of the C-TOP+ to the required position.
You can generate the switching signals for the solenoid valves with the aid of the
higher-level AS-interface master, or you can force the switching of the solenoid
valves locally by using the manual override (MO).
There is a non-detenting MO on the upper side of the integrated solenoid valves
Fig. 11 4 ). It may only be activated using a blunt pin (max. 15 N).
