According to
Bosch Rexroth, the adaptable and efficient
Series CA44 Valves are the intelligent solution for integrating pneumatic valves in systems with actuator sensor interface (AS-i) bus structures. Designed as 2-station valve manifolds for AS-i serial link applications, these valves also feature:
Configurability of the valve stations to be 4-way, 2-position valves; dual 3-way, 2-position valves; or blanking plates.A plug-in design that simultaneously makes both the electrical and pneumatic connections, therefore eliminating the need to disturb electrical wiring connections. A valve flow of 0.2 Cv with a pressure range of 29 to 116 PSI.A voltage of 24 VDC with a protection rating of IP67 (NEMA 6).The capacity of 1 AS-i address to hold up to 4 valve functions and 4 electric inputs.
Manifold choices, such as those with or without digital inputs, and with or without auxiliary power.A simplified installation with all of the pneumatic connections on 1 side.The capability to replace a valve without changing the address.A long service life of more than 100 million cycles, according to the company.Integrated push-in fittings for 4- or 6-mm plastic tubing, or M7 threaded ports.Availability of an Internet configurator for designing custom valve manifolds with the power to download CAD drawings. Compliance with AS-i specification V2.11 Rev. 1.ADVERTISEMENT
