5.4.4 Adding an electrical supply plate (only for M PA-S valve terminal with
CPX terminal or CPI interface)
The intended use of the electrical supply plate is as an
intermediate valve load power supply.
Note
Damage to components and operative malfunctions!
Please note:
– That with MP A-S valve terminals with more than 8
sub-bases, an electric supply plate is required for
supplemental supply of load voltage.
– That only the electronics modules with separate circuits
of type VMPA...-FB-EMG- . are permitted to the right of
the electric supply plate (see also Chapter 5.3.5).
If your MPA-S valve terminal is only equipped with
electronics modules with a common circuit
(type VMPA...-FB-EMS- ...), then you can supply the
pneumatics as follows:
– For valve terminals with CPX terminals:
only via an interlinking block with
4-pin system supply of type CPX-G E-EV -S or
CPX-GE-EV-S-7/8-4POL of the CPX terminal.
– For valve terminals with CPI interface:
via the CPI interface of type VMPA-CPI.
– That the electric supply plate must not be installed
directly to the left of a pneumatic supply plate
(type VMPA1-FB-SP...).
– That you do not touch the electrostatically sensitive
contact surfaces of the plug connectors on the side of
the electric supply plate.
