APB = All ports blocked
COE = Centre open exhaust
NC = Normally closed
NO = Normally open
4.3.3 Maximum cycling rate
In practice the cycling rate should be lower than 300 c.p.m. (<5 Hz). The valves should be
switched above 90% (working port) and below 10% (exhausting port) of the supply pressure.
4.3.4 Minimum impulse on bistable valves
The minimum impulse length on 5/2 way bistable valves should correspond at least twice to the
response time (see section
4.3.5 Important information for 2x2/2 valves
All 2x2/2 functions (NC, NO or NO/NC) have port 1 not connected in neither end position to port
2 or 4. Port 1 is not necessary (except internal pilot air). Supply of compressed air or vacuum
must be feeded to port 3 or 5.
Pay attention to this when configuring the valve island (blanking off canals 3 and 5 in base) !!
