1.1 The VTSA... valve terminal
Festo assists you in solving your automation tasks at machine
level with VTSA... valve terminals. The modular structure of
the valve terminal enables you to match it optimally in your
machine or system.
The valve terminal pneumatics establish the following con-
nections:
– Common ducts for supply and exhaust air
– Electric signals from all solenoid coils
The working lines (2) and (4) are provided for each valve
position on the individual manifold sub-bases. The valves are
supplied with compressed air (operating pressure and pilot
pressure) via the common channels and connections in the
pneumatic supply plates. The exhaust air (from the valves
and the pilot exhaust) is also exhausted via these common
channels and connections.
Dependent on its width, the valve terminal can be supple-
mented by additional pneumatic supply plates, such as to
supply pressure zones.
The function range at each valve position can be extended
by means of additional vertical stacking components,
e.g. exhaust air flow control or pressure regulation.
