Section
Components
Section 1
• Pneumatic supply plate (30)
• Three base plates, 2x (20), and one base plate, 3x (21)
• Valve driver boards, 4x (24), 2x (22), and 3x (23)
• 9 valves (61)
Section 2
• Pneumatic supply plate (30)
• Four base plates, 2x (20)
• Two valve driver boards, 4x (24)
• 8 valves (61)
• AV-EP base plate, single pressure control
• AV-EP pressure regulator
Section 3
• Electrical supply plate (35)
• Two base plates, 2x (20), and one base plate, 3x (21)

Fig. 17: Permissible configurations
You can expand the valve system at all points designated with an arrow:
• After a pneumatic supply plate (A)
• After a valve driver board (B)
• At the end of a section (C)
• At the end of the valve system (D)
To simplify your documentation and configuration, we recommend
that you expand the valve system on the right end (D).
12.5.3 Impermissible configurations
Fig. 18 displays the configurations that are not permissible. You may not:
• Split a 4x or 3x valve driver board

• Mount more than 64 valves (128 solenoid coils)
• Integrate more than 8 AV-EPs
• Integrate more than 32 electrical components.
Some configured components have multiple functions and therefore count as
multiple electrical components.

12.5.4 Reviewing the valve zone conversion
Following the conversion of the valve zone, use the following checklist to de-
u
termine whether you have complied with all rules.
• Have you mounted at least 4 valve positions after the first pneumatic supply
plate?
• Have you mounted a maximum of 64 valve positions?
• Have you integrated no more than 32 electrical components? Note that an
AV-EP pressure regulator corresponds to three electrical components.
• Have you mounted at least two valves after every pneumatic or electrical sup-
ply plate that marks the start of a new section?
• Have you always installed the valve driver boards to be in line with the base
plate limits, i.e.
– One base plate, 2x, is installed with one valve driver board, 2x,
– Two base plates, 2x, are installed with one valve driver board, 4x,
– One base plate, 3x, is installed with one valve driver board, 3x,
• Have you integrated no more than 8 AV-EPs?
If you have answered "Yes" to all these questions, you may proceed with the doc-
umentation and configuration of the valve system.
12.5.5 Conversion documentation

PLC configuration key
After a conversion, the PLC configuration key printed on the right end plate is no
longer valid.
1. Correct the PLC configuration key or cover it with a new label and write the
new PLC configuration key on the end plate.
2. Always document all changes to your configuration.
Mat. no.
After a conversion, the material number (MNR) on the right end plate is no longer
valid.
Mark the material number so that it is clearly visible that the unit no longer
u
corresponds to its original condition on delivery.
