Abstract
A valve assembly with at least two valve modules is described, wherein the valve modules are arranged one beside the other in a line-up direction. The valve assembly also comprises an indicating device for displaying a state of the valve modules and/or of the valve assembly and/or of a component connected to the valve assembly. In the line-up direction the indicating device continuously extends over all valve modules.
Claims13
A valve assembly with at least two valve modules which are arranged one beside the other in a line-up direction, and with an indicating device for displaying a state of at least one of the valve modules, the valve assembly and a component connected to the valve assembly, wherein the indicating device is a display for outputting text and/or symbols, which in the line-up direction extends continuously over all valve modules;
- wherein the indicating device is arranged in a display module of the valve assembly and the extension of the display module in the line-up direction substantially corresponds to the extension of the indicating device;
- wherein connections for sensors are arranged on the display module;
- wherein the connections for sensors each are arranged in a region of the display module which in line-up direction corresponds to the extension of the valve module associated to the respective connection;
- and
- wherein the display module is formed and connected such that both the states of one or more integrated solenoid valves of a valve module and the states of an actuator connected to the valve module and controlled by the same are indicated, wherein on the same display module the sensor inputs are arranged, which report back the states of the actuator.
A valve assembly with at least two valve modules which are arranged one beside the other in a line-up direction, and with an indicating device for displaying a state of at least one of the valve modules, the valve assembly and a component connected to the valve assembly, wherein the indicating device is a display for outputting text and/or symbols, which in the line-up direction extends continuously over all valve modules;
- wherein it comprises a plurality of indicating devices and in the line-up direction the indicating devices each extend substantially across the width of a group of adjacent valve modules, wherein to each valve module at least one indicating device is associated.
