5.4.3 Adding valve positions
You can easily adapt the MPA-S valve terminal to the
requirements of your machine or system by adding valve
locations. The smallest extension unit is a sub-base with
4 valve locations (MPA1) or 2 valve locations (MPA2).
MPA-S valve terminal with multi-pin plug connection
The valve terminals can be configured with as many
sub-bases as there are addresses available (see table).
With these valve terminals, the maximum number of solenoi d
coils which can be actuated by the multi-pin connection is
limited to 24 addresses.
If equipped exclusively with one size (MPA 1 or MP A 2) and
valves with the same number of solenoid coils, this will result
in the following maximum number of sub-bases:
