The valve terminals of type VMPA-ASI-EPL-...-8E8A-Z and
VMPA-ASI-EPL-...-8E8A-CE have been designed exclusively
for controlling pneumatic actuators and are only suitable for
use in bus systems in accordance with the AS-Interface
specification.
VMPA-ASI-EPL-...-8E8A-Z is used as a standard slave,
VMPA-ASI-EPL-...-8E8A-CE as a slave for the Extended
Address mode.
The valve terminals contain 2 AS-Interface slaves, desig-
nated here as "Slave 1" and "Slave 2". They behave on the
AS-Interface bus like two individual valve terminals, each
with 4 inputs and 4 outputs. The valve terminals enable the
control of 8 valve solenoid coils and the registering of
8 sensors. The exchangeable connections of the CPX system
are used for connecting the sensors.
If additional commercially-available components are con-
nected, the specified limits for pressures, temperatures,
electrical data, torques, etc. must not be exceeded.
AS-Interface bus systems and valve terminals may only be
installed by personnel especially trained for this purpose.
Specifications on the design and addressing of your bus
system can be found in the manual for the AS-Interface
master.
Detailed information on the pneumatic components of the
valve terminal can be found in the Pneumatics manual type
P.BE-MPA-...
Warning
S Switch off the power supply before connecting or
disconnecting plug connectors (otherwise functional
damage).
S Only commission a valve terminal that has been
mounted and wired completely.
