3.4 Connecting the MPA−S valve terminal
On sub−bases fitted with blanking plates, seal the working
lines (2) or (4) with blanking plugs or threaded blanking
plugs. This measure will protect the ports from dirt.
For the optimum performance of the valve terminal we
recommend that the valves be supplied via more than one
supply and exhaust line when:
 more than 6 valves of size MPA1 or
 more than 3 valves of size MPA2
are switched simultaneously to flow.
Connections on the following components are available for
supplying the valve terminal:
on the electrical interface (pneumatic interface,
CPIinterface, multiple connector plate, AS interface)
on the optional pneumatic supply plate,
maximumbetween each sub−base
