VP60 Analogue / IO-Link
Our policy is one of continued research and development. We therefore reserve the right
to amend, without notice, the specifications given in this document.
3. Functional Safety
The VP60 is
not a
design with design-related fail-safe properties.
Therefore, no safety-related properties can be guaranteed at valve level.
For machine controls (complex mechatronic systems) with the VP60, a risk analysis in accordance with e.g. EN-ISO12100 is
urgently recommended.
Information on the current standard situation can be obtained from the VDMA or the BGIA.
DANGER - Danger due to hazardous movement
Changes to the valve configuration can lead to unwanted movements or changes to connected consumers under air supply.
Please ensure a safe operating condition before changing the valve configuration. This also applies in particular to changes via
the USB configuration interface or the IO-Link parameters.
Use suitable stop and vent valves in the supply lines and at the consumer connections for enabling.
Warning! - Danger from compressed air
Connections 2 & 4 can still be under pressure for a long time even after the pressure supply to connection 1 has been switched off!
Protect yourself and others by not removing any pressurised connections and wear suitable personal protective equipment
when working!
Depressurise the system before carrying out any work
All work must be carried out by qualified pneumatics specialists
Warning! - clogging of silencers
Blockage of the silencers can lead to malfunction of the valve
Ensure appropriate air quality
Warning! - Risk of injury due to noise
Only operate the valve with suitable silencers
Always wear ear protection when working
Warning! - Risk of injury due to insufficient qualification
As the operator, ensure that work is only carried out by qualified personnel
Train the operating personnel comprehensively in safety issues
Have electrical installations carried out only by qualified electricians
