Overview
The Metal Work 0228BU18M1111 EB 80 BOXI valve island base is a solid base module that accommodates pneumatic and electrical connections, integrated electronics, and up to 4 interchangeable EB 80 solenoid valves. The EB 80 electro-pneumatic system features modularity and consists of a solid base that accommodates pneumatic and electrical connections, the electronics and up to 4 valves. This configuration delivers a compact alternative to larger modular valve islands while maintaining full compatibility with the entire EB 80 valve family.
Key Features
- BOXI weighs 35% less and saves 30% space compared to modular EB 80 for 4 valves
- All EB 80 valves, from twin 2/2 to high-flow models, can be installed; can be powered at 12VDC or 24VDC; features interchangeable cartridge fittings; only 0.3W to control each valve
- 4-position electro-pneumatic manifold base available with 4 or 8 controls for solenoid pilots; up to 4 valves with one solenoid pilot can be installed on the manifold base with 4 controls, and up to 4 valves with one or two solenoid pilots on the manifold base with 8 controls
- Solenoid valves are powered and controlled via a D-Sub 9-pin connector with up to 8 solenoid pilots; only PNP pin configuration is allowed
- The 02282R4002 foot kit includes 3 brackets already included in each EB 80 BOXI pack for mounting
- Integrated microprocessor-based control with advanced diagnostics and error indication
Technical Specifications
- Supply Voltage Range: 12VDC -10% to 24VDC +30%, minimum 10.8VDC and maximum 31.2VDC
- Maximum Supply Voltage: Voltage greater than 32VDC will damage the system irreparably
- Minimum Control Current: 500 mA
- Solenoid Control Power: Speed-up control: 3W supplied to solenoid pilot for 15 milliseconds, then power gradually reduced to 0.25W
- Connector: D-Sub 9-pin connector with up to 8 solenoid pilots
- Valve Positions: 4
- Valve Capacity: Up to 4 EB 80 solenoid valves
- Mounting Options: DIN bar fixing or bracket mounting; 3 brackets included
- Protection: Polarity inversion and overload protection
- Certifications: Power packs must comply with IEC 742/EN60742/VDE0551 with at least 4kV insulation resistance (PELV)
