You can expand the valve system at all points designated with an arrow:
After a pneumatic supply plate (A)
After a valve driver board (B)
At the end of a section (C)
At the end of the valve system (D)
To simplify your documentation and configuration, we recommend that you expand the valve
system on the right end (D).
12.5.3
Impermissible configurations
Figure 18 displays the configurations that are not permissible. You may not:
Split a 4x or 3x valve driver board (A)
Mount fewer than four valve positions after the bus coupler (B)
Mount more than 64 valves (128 solenoid coils)
Integrate more than 8 AV-EPs
Integrate more than 32 electrical components.
Some configured components have multiple functions and therefore count as multiple electrical
components.
