Claims23
A valve assembly comprising a valve support and a plurality of electrically actuated valves arranged successively in a line-up direction on the outside of the valve support, wherein a reception passage is formed in the interior of the valve support for the reception of a control circuit board which is provided with at least one control electronics and extends in the line-up direction, and to which the installed valves are electrically contacted for receiving electric actuating signals required for their operation, and which is provided with control interfacing means for the reception of electric control signals responsible for the generation of the actuating signals, and wherein electric supply lines for the power supply of the valves independent of the supply of the control signals are accommodated in the interior of the valve support, wherein the electric supply lines are represented by electric conduction rods separate from the control circuit board and secured to the valve support independently of the control circuit board, wherein they extend next to the control circuit board in the line-up direction and are electrically contacted to the control circuit board by takeoff contact means.
