System Description
The Type 8644 Bürkert AirLINE is an electrical and pneumatic automation system which was developed for use in
the control cabinet or switch box. In a continuous system all electronic and pneumatic components are standardized,
enabling pneumatic, electric and electronic modules with various functions to be combined very easily with each
other by the observation of simple rules. All components are connected by a locking mechanism. At the same time
the required electrical connections are also established. For example, valves and power outputs can be combined
with one field bus connection only. A large number of electrical modules (terminals) can be combined very easily
with the valves mounted on special pneumatic modules (valve discs).
The system consists in its minimum configuration of field bus nodes, valve block and termination module. Terminals
may be placed before and after the valve block.
