Manifold sub−bases
The number of possible valve locations depends on the
manifold sub−bases used.
If on an extension stage of up to 16 valve locations, you use
only manifold sub−bases which support control of two valve
solenoid coils per valve location, a completely independent
placing of valves is possible.
An extension stage of more than 16 valve locations is only
possible if manifold sub−bases, which support control of only
one valve solenoid coil per valve location, are also used. Only
single−solenoid 5/2−way valves can be operated on these
manifold sub−bases. If the VTSA valve terminal is extended to
the maximum of 32 valve locations, only manifold sub−bases
with single−solenoid 5/2−way valves can be used.
