Connecting and wiring the Metal Work EB 80 BOXI Direct Operated Solenoid Valve correctly is essential for its optimal performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Multi-Pole Electrical Connection: The valve uses a D-Sub 9-pin connector for power and control, accommodating up to 8 solenoid pilots. This system is designed for PNP pin configurations only. The power supply voltage should be between 12 and 24 VDC. Each control system output must supply a minimum of 500 mA to actuate the solenoid pilot.
-
Pre-Wired Connector Pinout: The D-Sub 9-pin connector comes pre-wired with specific color codes for each function. Here's a breakdown of the pin assignments:
- Pin 1: Green/Black (White for IP40, Green for IP65) - Output 1 + VDC
- Pin 2: White (Brown for IP40, Green for IP65) - Output 2 + VDC
- Pin 3: Blue/Black (Green for IP40, Blue for IP65) - Output 3 + VDC
- Pin 4: Blue (Yellow for IP40, Blue for IP65) - Output 4 + VDC
- Pin 5: Yellow/Black (Gray for IP65) - Output 5 + VDC
- Pin 6: Yellow (Pink for IP65) - Output 6 + VDC
- Pin 7: Red/Black (Blue for IP65) - Output 7 + VDC
- Pin 8: Green (Red for IP65) - Output 8 + VDC
- Pin 9: White/Black (Black for IP65) - COM 0VDC (Common)
-
Power Supply Voltage Requirements: The valve is designed to operate within a voltage range of 12VDC -10% to 24VDC +30%. It's crucial not to exceed 32VDC to prevent potential damage.
-
Protections and Diagnostics: The Metal Work EB 80 BOXI valve incorporates protections against overload, polarity inversion, and short-circuits. An ERR red LED light indicates any faults or issues.
-
Grounding Connection: Ensure proper grounding using the PE connection to prevent malfunctions and protect against electrostatic discharge. Always consult the Metal Work EB 80 BOXI instruction manual for the most detailed instructions and safety information.
