On / Off Service

FEATURES

INTELLIGENCE

The Bray Controls Series 52 DeviceNet Digital Actuator Interface enables Pneumatic Valve Actuators
to operate in On/Off service when connected to a
DeviceNet network. Commands from the network
can direct a Solenoid Air Valve to position the
Valve Actuator fully open or fully closed. Actual
valve position sensed by a Valve Status Monitor can
be transmitted to other devices over the network.
Module status, including both network and diagnostic information, can be transmitted over DeviceNet
and visually displayed through LED indicators. Both
power and data wiring are supplied through a single
DeviceNet cable connection.

The Series 52 DeviceNet Digital Actuator Interface
is microprocessor controlled, or smart, using firmware specifically designed to complement the capabilities and features of Bray Pneumatic Actuator Accessories. It reads two digital inputs (DI) from the
Valve Status Monitor, and controls one digital output (DI) to the Solenoid Air Valve. The Process
Controller or PLC communicates with all three digital I/O points through a single network address, or
MAC ID. All three I/O points, as well as several diagnostic parameters, are continuously monitored and
accessible through the DeviceNet connection.

DeviceNet
DeviceNet is an economical fieldbus network used
to connect industrial devices such as sensors, actuators and motors while providing access to the intelligence present in these devices. DeviceNet allows up
to 64 devices to communicate with each other over a
single cable that supplies both communication and
power. This simplifies field wiring, enhances functionality, and reduces total system cost.

OPERATION
The Series 52 DeviceNet Digital Actuator Interface
is easy to install and configure. Network wiring is
done through a single DeviceNet standard five-pin
connector, similar to plugging a mouse or keyboard
into a personal computer. Configuration is done with
Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files without adjusting
potentiometers or selector switches. All configuration settings are saved in non-volatile memory so
they will survive power outages. An entire Actuated
Valve Assembly (shown above) requires only a single DeviceNet connector and one air supply connection to operate.
