Structure and Function of the Control Head
The Type 1066 control head is used to control pneumatically operated process valves from various
manufacturers. Depending on the configuration, it can be fitted with up to three solenoid valves (pilot
valves) for control of the process valve and with a maximum of three height-adjustable inductive
proximity sensors for position feedback. One of these sensors can also be an external sensor
(Attachment via 3-pole screw clamp on printed circuit board).
Characteristics
With the Type 1066 control head, there is a de-central solution for driving the process valves in addition to
the intended central solution for valve blocks. The advantages of this solution in the form of the compact
control head unit with the pilot valves and optionally usable field bus interfaces are:
Lower installation outlay.
Simple commissioning.
Short response times due to the short distance between the pilot valve and the
process valve.
Main areas of application:
Foodstuff industry (e.g. dairies)
Chemical industry
Pharmaceutical industry
Cosmetics industry
Breweries
