Controlling big valves is a very complex matter. Often this is done by using opto-couplers or big relays. This method has the disadvantage that the wiring from the valve via the coupling module to the control requires a lot of equipment, personnel, and time. Furthermore, wiring is error-prone. All these problems can be avoided by utilizing the Murrelektronik valve plug “Valve Power Switch”. These valve plugs in Form A (18 mm) have an integrated opto-coupler. Valves up to 2A can be driven with-out any problems, without requiring an additional control unit, and, at the same time considerably reducing costs and wiring time.
The units come is a variety of cable types and lengths as standard.
The “Valve Power Switch” is an attractive solution from Murrelektronik, the inventor of pre-moulded valve plugs, helping to save time, material and costs.
