Valve sensor terminal
Complex automation tasks require the use of
sensors for which Festo offers the valve sensor
terminal. Solenoid valves, solenoid pulse valves
etc. are fitted onto a connection block and have
already been tested; two sensors per valve can
be connected on site. Valve sensor terminals
with from 4...14 valves are available for the auto-
mation process.
The valve sensor terminal includes all the advan-
tages of the valve terminal. It also offers:
•
two inputs per valve location, e.g. for position
sensors
•
two additional inputs
•
two additional outputs, e.g. for electric actua-
tors, displays etc.
