3.4 Connecting the MPA−S valve terminal
On sub−bases fitted with cover plates seal the work connec
tions (2 or 4) with blanking plates or threaded blanking plugs.
This measure will protect the connections from dirt.
For the optimum performance of the valve terminal we recom
mend that the valves be supplied via more than one supply
and exhaust line when:
more than 6 valves of size MPA1 or
more than 3 valves of size MPA2
are switched simultaneously to flow.
Connections on the following components are available for
supplying the valve terminal:
on the MPA−S valve terminal with CPX terminal:
on the pneumatic interface
on the optional pneumatic supply plate, maximum
between each sub−base
on the MPA−S valve terminal with multipin connection:
on the multipin sub−base
on the optional pneumatic supply plate, maximum
between each sub−base.
