Chapter 7: Optional Equipment Installation
The solenoid valve assembly consists of two independent valves (Valve #1 and Valve #2) on a
common manifold. The manifold supplies air at the user’s line pressure. Each valve has two
output ports, A and B. The output ports are arranged so that when Port A is pressurized, Port
B is not pressurized. Conversely, when Port B is pressurized, Port A is not.
The supplied solenoids each draw a nominal 75 mA from 24 VDC.
In the eCobra robots, the air lines from Port A on each valve are plugged at the factory (at the
solenoid assembly) so that the pack can be used as is as 3-way valves. By removing the plugs,
the user can use the assembly as 4-way valves, if needed.
The Solenoid Kit for the eCobra robots is available through Omron Adept Technologies, Inc.
