The signals actuating the valves are directly switchable from the iCS-ECAT using software sig-
nals 3001 and 3002.

The supplied solenoids each require a nominal 75 mA at 24 VDC.
The air lines from Port A on each valve have factory-installed plugs at the solenoid assembly
so you can use the assembly as 3-way valves. If you need 4-way valves, remove the plugs.
The following image shows an installed Solenoid Valve Kit.

End of Arm Break-away Sensor
The internal 2-pin end-of-arm break-away sensor connector provides a pair of contacts that
can be used for a user-supplied, break-away sensor at the end of the robot arm. The function is
disabled by default and you must enable it using the Sysmac Studio.
The break-away sensor requires a normally-closed circuit wired to Pins 1 and 2 of the con-
nector. When the circuit is opened, the system will stop with a status code F1 (refer to Status
Codes Table on page 171 for more information).
