New CANopen Module for VJ Series Solenoid Valve Island

Where serial control efficiency meets pneumatic versatility

Why choose the CANopen interface for the VJ Series?

The integration of the CANopen protocol transforms the valve island from a simple pneumatic component into an intelligent node of the company network.

  • Reduced wiring: Say goodbye to heavy and complex multipolar cabling. With a single bus cable, the entire island can be managed, simplifying switchboard design and reducing assembly time.
  • Smart diagnostics: Real-time monitoring of solenoid status and timely detection of anomalies, enabling effective predictive maintenance and reducing machine downtime.
  • Extreme modularity: The VJ Series retains its distinctive feature: the ability to configure the island according to the client’s actual needs, now enhanced with digital control.
  • Plug & Play: Easy configuration thanks to the files provided, allowing rapid and error-free integration with major PLCs on the market.

Key Technical Features

  • Protocol: CANopen
  • Compatibility: Specifically designed for the VJ Series (10mm and 15mm sizes)
  • Communication speed: Configurable up to 1 Mbps
  • Protection rating: IP65, ideal for harsh industrial environments
  • LED indicators: Status LEDs for power, bus status, and error diagnostics for immediate visual control
