Application
• Pneumatic control in test systems

This module is a complete pneumatic plug&play sub-system, controlled by USB or CAN bus.

Thanks to 10x 3-way microvalves, 10 simple effect or 5 double effect actuators can be controlled. The board has also 12 inputs to monitor the position of the actuators (PNP).

Coils are powered in a way that once activated, the power consumption is reduced to avoid self-heating of the device.

Control through the PC is more easy thanks to the included pressure sensor. Some programmable static relays are available to set the operational limits.

Two logic inputs placed opposite to the VPC connector are to cut the air inlet when the system detects fixture extraction, the signal can be given by a simple switch inside the VPC receiver.

The board has also outputs to control 4 auxiliary coils (two in the connector side, two in the opposite side) and an analog output to control a proportional valve.

The board can be controlled through CAN bus or USB and is delivered with all the necessary software to use it in a Test stand or LabView based platform
