Tectra Automation has brought the Aventics ES05 Essential Valve System series to South Africa. The ES05 series now offers a clever, economic and user-friendly solution for applications with standard requirements in industrial automation. Designed specifically to reduce the number of components, assembly is completed with one single tool, making life easier for distributors, machine manufacturers and system integrators, and with the added benefit of reducing the risk of faults.
“The new series focuses on ease of handling for distributors, machine manufacturers and system integrators,” explains pneumatic product manager, Malan Bosman. “They can configure their customised solution online from a set number of readily available components. Assembling a valve system has never been faster or easier.”
The valves come in a robust housing made of high performance polymers and are especially stable and compact. Users connect the end and base plates and can extend the system in pairs up to 12 single or double solenoid valves. The valves are controlled via single wiring with a type CI plug according to ISO 15217, a D-Sub connection with 25 pins with Aventics AES valve electronics from Tectra Automation, or an integrated IO-Link interface.
AES supports all common fieldbus and Ethernet protocols. With a switching time of less than 35 milliseconds for all valve functions, highly dynamic action is guaranteed for short cycles. With single wiring, the ES05 complies with protection class IP65, so the valve system can also be installed in decentralised locations, even in environments exposed to splash water. All other connection types comply with protection class IP50.
