The XV module connection concept makes it possible to add pneumatic valve manifolds from Buerkart, Festo, Bosch Rexroth, Norgren, SMC and other manufacturers to a networked environment with minimal configuration effort.
Up to 24 digital outputs—for up to 24 valves—are located in a compact DSUB housing. The connection is made directly using a 25-pin connector. This compact solution to simply integrate the pneumatic control directly in an automation system creates savings possibilities for user, says the vendor. Wiring is reduced, especially for configurations with a large number of valves. Valve manufacturers typically charge a premium for connections to other fieldbus systems. With the XV module connector, the user can use standard valve manifolds without incurring extra charges.
George Reed, with the help of Factory Technologies, was looking to further automate the processes at its quarries and make Ignition an organization-wide standard.
