1 Application and function
The VPPM is intended for controlling a pressure
proportional to a specified setpoint value (input
word). A built-in pressure sensor records the
pressure at the working port and compares this
value with the setpoint value. If there are devi
ations between the actual value and the set
point value, the control valve is actuated until
the outlet pressure reaches the setpoint value. Fig. 1

4 Installation
4.1 Mechanical
 Make sure there is sufficient space for the connecting cable and tubing connec
tions. In this way you will prevent the cable and tubes from being bent.
 Place the VPPM as close to the consumer as possible. This leads to improved
control precision and shorter response times.
Wall mounting
 Fasten the in-line valve of size x" and ¼"
at the intended position with two M4 screws.
If necessary, use bracket type VAME-P1-A
(èFig. 5) to do this. When using the bracket,
the VPPM may only be loaded statically.
 Fasten the in-line valve of size ½" at the
intended position with two M5 screws
(tightening torque 2.0 Nm).
 Mount the flange valve of size x" and ¼"
onto the manifold rail VEABM-P1-SF-G18…
(tightening torque approx. 1.5 Nm). Fasten
the manifold rail at the intended position
with two M6 screws.
Fig. 5

H-rail mounting
 Mount the H-rail adapter with the included screws (for size x": M4 x 65,
for size ¼": M4 x 77) to the in-line valve VPPM-6L/8L (tightening torque
approx. 1.5 Nm) èFig. 6.

 Secure the VPPM-6L/8L with the H-rail clamping (tightening torque 1.5 Nm).
4.2 Pneumatic (in-line valve)
 Attach the pneumatic tubing to the following connections: (èFig. 4):
– Supply port (1) item 4,pressure output (2) item 2
 Mount a silencer at the exhaust (3) item 5or remove the exhaust air with
ducts.
Operating medium
Note
Too much residual oil content in the compressed air will reduce the service life of
the valve.
 When using bio-oils (oils that are based on synthetic esters or native esters,
e.g. rapeseed oil methyl ester), the maximum residual oil content of
0.1 mg/m³ must not be exceeded (èISO 8573-1:2010 [-:-:2]).
4.3 Electrical
Warning
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
 For the electric power supply, use only PELV circuits that ensure a reliable
electric disconnection from the mains network.
 IEC 60204-1/EN 60204-1 to be screwed in.
Note
 Long signal lines pick up more interference. Make certain that the signal lines
are always shorter than 20 m (see also IO-Link specification IEC 61131-9).
 The IO-Link Master may have either port type A or port type B.
 On the device is a 5-pin plug, M12, port type A.
 Use the pre-assembled cable with socket from Festo (accessories
èwww.festo.com/catalogue). You can then guarantee that the specified
degree of protection IP 65 and EMC are fulfilled.
 The tightening torque of the M12 plug socket with cable must not exceed
0.5 Nm.
 The individual pins on the electrical connection are assigned as follows:

5 Commissioning
Note
The VPPM interprets setpoint value specifications that are smaller than 1 % full
scale as 0.
 Connect the VPPM to an IO-Link master or an I-Port master.
– The VPPM communicates with the respective master via the corresponding
protocol. The setpoint and actual values are transferred cyclically, the dia
gnostic values acyclically.
– The valve has a 16-bit input word (setpoint value) and a 16-bit output word
(actual value).
– If the desired data rate is not set automatically with IO-Link, the data rate can
be forced through a write command to ISDU parameter 0x0048: COM3 = 03,
COM2 = 02. For I-Port, the data rate is always set to COM3.
– Power supply with 24 V DC is provided through the IO-Link master.
 Pressurize the VPPM with an input pressure at least 1 bar higher than the max
imum desired output pressure. An outlet pressure p2 proportionate to it is then
set. The following outlet pressure is then assigned to the setpoint value signal:
Type code Outlet pressure
with signal 1 % Full scale
Outlet pressure
with signal 100 % Full scale
VPPM-…-0L2H-… 0.02 bar 2 bar
VPPM-…-0L6H-… 0.06 bar 6 bar
VPPM-…-0L10H-… 0.1 bar 10 bar

Valve parameter: Monitoring
Parameter no. 0
Description With the proportional pressure regulator, monitoring of individual errors can be
independently activated or deactivated (suppressed):
– Monitoring of parameterisation error: Monitors valve parameterisation. An er
ror message is generated for the following implausible settings:
Upper limit value ≤ lower limit value
Upper limit value < 0 or > control range (èFig. 17)
Lower limit value < 0
– Limit monitoring: Defines whether the limit values are monitored, and
a diagnostic message is generated when the limit values are exceeded or
fallen below.
– Monitoring of load voltage: Defines whether the load voltage Uout/UVal is
monitored. If the voltage drops too much (for values èTechnical data in
Fig. 25), a diagnostic message is generated.
Active monitoring causes the error to be sent to the IO-Link or I-Port master and
displayed through the Error LED of the VPPM

Description Parameterised via this function number are:
– Control behaviour (presets): Defines the characteristic curve used for
controlling a setpoint pressure.
– Output data type: Offers 3 options for what is presented in the output word
(data format èFig. 16):
– Output of the current pressure value
– Output as comparator bit:
Bit 0 = 0: Pressure value is outside the control range
Bit 0 = 1: Pressure value is in the control range
– Combined output of current pressure value and comparator bit. Bit 0 is used
as the comparator bit, as above It is no longer used for representing
the pressure value.
– Measured value smoothing: Sets how strongly the measured values are
smoothed for limit monitoring. This can suppress possible malfunctions.

Valve parameter: lower / upper limit
Parameter no. 12…13 Lower limit value
14…15 Upper limit value
Description The lower and upper limit values for the pressure and diagnostic messages are
set with these parameters. Undershooting or overshooting of limit values is only
signaled if the output word diagnostics is activated via the limit value
monitoring parameter (èFig. 10).
Byte 12 or 14 low byte

Values Presets
– Lower limit value = 0 (low byte = 0; high byte: 0)
– Upper limit value: Max. pressure value of the valve type (èFig. 17)
Remarks The upper limit value must always be greater than the lower limit value.
The limit values are checked for validity during parameterisation. If invalid
parameters are present and the module parameter “Monitoring of
parametrisation errors” is active, a corresponding error is signaled
(èChapter 12).
