3.1 General Description
3.2 Electrical
Connections
The VP50 IO-Link is a digital proportional control valve using
the IO-Link communications protocol to both control the valve
output pressure but also provide feedback to the user system.
The pneumatic section is a diaphragm actuated glandless spool valve.
Pilot pressure applied to the diaphragm moves the spool and regulates
the output pressure of the unit. The pilot pressure is developed by a voice-
coil pilot (I/P) which is controlled electronically by the onboard PCB.
The IO-Link communication protocol allows the user to not
only control the output of the device but also adjust operating
parameters and monitor various performance feedbacks,
such as current output pressure and cycle count.
Chassis Earth connection should always be connected to
deliver optimum continuous EMC performance.

3.3 Pneumatic
Connections
These instruments are recommended for use with clean, dry,
oil free instrument grade air to BS 6739 or ISA-7.0.01-1996
Dew Point: At least 10°C (18°F) below anticipated ambient temperature.
Dust: Filtered to below 5 microns
Oil Content: Not to exceed 1ppm mass.
The inlet and outlet ports are threaded G1/4 or 1/4”NPT female
and suitable itting should be used. For most installations
1/4” (6mm) pipe will be adequate. Always ensure that the
downstream volume between the output of the VP50 and
the actuator/device is between 100cc and 2000cc.
If the air supply is not of adequate quality this can normally
be achieved by the use of an air ilter regulator. In all cases,
purge the supply pipework before connection to the valve.
The use of a soft setting anaerobic seal is recommended,
(e.g. Loctite Hydraulic Seal 542). Always follow the sealent
manufacturer’s recommendations during use.
Under no circumstances should PTFE tape be used for sealing
the ittings as this tends to shred small particles which may
contaminate the instrument and cause malfunctions.

4.0 IO-Link General
Information
4.1 User Settings
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which requires
an IO-Link-capable module (IO-Link master) for operation. The IO-
Link interface enables direct access to the process and diagnostic
data and provides the possibility to set the parameters of the
unit during operation. In addition communication is possible via
a point-to-point connection with a USB adapter cable.
