5. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
5.1. Application area
The valve terminal type 8640 is intended for use in an industrial environment. The valves can be combined very easily
and efficiently thanks to the modular design.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
• Before reaching into the device or the equipment, switch off the power supply and secure to prevent
reactivation.
• Observe applicable accident prevention and safety regulations for electrical equipment.
5.2. General description
Thanks to its strictly modular construction in terms of the pneumatic and electrical interfaces the type 8640 valve
terminal is suitable for a wide range of tasks, including complex ones. By aligning pneumatic modules in sequence
with varying numbers of valves it is possible to configure up to 24 valve functions on one valve terminal.
The electrical connection technology can be implemented as required via field bus interfaces, collective sockets
(parallel connection technology) or multi-pole interfaces. The valves are designed for various usage scenarios. The
body and connection modules are manufactured using high quality plastic (polyamide) and can be connected and
released easily thanks to an integrated attachment mechanism.
