High-pressure (1 MPa, Metal seal): 0.95W
■IP67 enclosure compatible Dust-tight, Immersion-proof
・Based on IEC60529
・S/T/L/M kit)
■Applicable to EX600 (Input/Output) serial transmission system (Fieldbus system)
• Available for DeviceNet™, PROFIBUS DP, CC-Link, EtherNet/IP™, EtherCAT® and PROFINET Fieldbus protocols
• EtherNet/IP™ and PROFINET are compatible with wireless systems.
• Max. 9 units Note) can be connected in any order.
The unit to connect input device such as an auto switch, pressure switch and flow switch, and the unit to connect output device such as a solenoid valve, relay and indicator light can be connected in any order. Note) Except SI unit
• Analog unit can be connected with analog input device or analog output device.
As well as a Digital (switch) Input/Output Unit, a unit applicable to analog signal is provided, and can be connected with various device for control.
• Self-diagnosis function
It is possible to ascertain the maintenance period and identify the parts that require maintenance, by an input (sensor) open circuit detecting function and an input/output signal of ON/OFF counter function. Also, the monitoring of input/output signal and the setting of parameters can be performed with a Handheld Terminal.
■The EX260 series supports safety communication (PROFIsafe).
• This is a Fieldbus unit which supports safety standard ISO 13849-compliant safety circuit constructions.
• Using the safety communication protocol
Refer to the EX260 Web Catalog for details on units that support the safety communication protocol.
When using a manifold valve within an ISO 13849-compliant safety system, the device needs to be considered from both the pneumatic circuit and the electric side.
Devices (including valves) need to be selected based on whether their functions are in line with the safety level of the equipment as a whole.
The use of valves that have been validated as being compliant with ISO 13849-2 may be required.
For details on valves that have been validated, please contact SMC.
In addition, refer to “Safety Instructions” for precautions on model selection.
■Connector entry direction can be changed with a single push. (F/P kit)
The connector entry direction can be changed from the top to the side by simply pressing the manual release button.
It is not necessary to use the manual release button when switching from the side to the top.
■A wide variety of prepackaged wiring configurations
・Our six standard wiring packages bring a world of ease to wiring and maintenance work, while the protective enclosures of four of them conform to IP67 standards.
・The S kit is compatible with a combined I/O unit. (Not applicable to Gateway unit)
- The use of multi-pin connectors to replace wiring inside manifold blocks provides flexibility when adding stations or changing manifold configuration.
- All kits use multi-pin connectors, so switching from the F kit (D-sub connector) to the S kit (serial transmission) can be done simply by changing the kit section.
■Dual 3-port valves, 4 positions
VQC1000/2000 (Rubber seal only)
・Two 3-port valves built into one body
・The 3-port valves on the A and B sides can operate independently.
・When used as 3-port valves, only half the number of stations is required.
・Can also be used as a 4-position, 5-port type valve.
