With the help of threaded connectors, components such as valve units, electronic modules, and pressure-supply modules can mount on subbases and be assembled into systems onsite. Valve functions are 5/2, 5/3, 2 3 3/2, 2 3 2/2, and 3/2 with external air supply. There are LED indicators on each valve and diagnostic messages available via fieldbus. A serial bus controls valves with up to 64 solenoids. Valve terminals can be reconfigured and expanded easily.
