Electrical Connection and Addressing (Multi-pin Configuration)

The MPA-MPM-VI valve terminal uses a SUB-D multipin plug for electrical connection. All control signals must use a uniform switching method – preferably positive-switching (PNP, 1-switching) for all signals, otherwise negative-switching (NPN, 0-switching). Mixed mode control is not permitted .

Address Assignment Rules:

• Assign addresses in ascending order without gaps

• Address assignment does not depend on whether blanking plates or valve plates are fitted

• Depending on the electronic module, a valve location occupies one or two addresses:

  • One address: VMPA1-MPM-EMM-4 / VMPA2-MPM-EMM-2

  • Two addresses: VMPA1-MPM-EMM-8 / VMPA2-MPM-EMM-4

• If an electronic module occupies 2 addresses, pilot solenoid 14 occupies the lower-value address and pilot solenoid 12 occupies the higher-value address 

ATEX Special Conditions for Use (Marking X)

• Install the device in a housing with at least IP54 protection according to EN 60079-0/EN 60079-15

• Do not disconnect or open when powered

• Prevent disconnection of plugs or housing parts by using a housing with a special lock (e.g., control cabinet)

• Use additional strain relief for cables in front of all plugs

• Prevent electrostatic charging of the housing with appropriate installation measures

• Ambient temperature: -5°C ≤ Ta ≤ +50°C

• Protect the device from UV radiation and any shock loading

• Device may only be used in an environment with minimum pollution degree 2 (IEC 60664-1)

• Oil or grease containing copper must not be used; only use oil and grease with a high-quality synthetic base

• The discharge of electrostatically charged parts can lead to ignitable sparks – prevent electrostatic charging by taking appropriate installation and cleaning measures
