SYSTEM STRUCTURE
Valve terminal
Festo offers a solution to automation problems at
the machine level in the form of the valve termi-
nal. Solenoid valves, double solenoid valves etc.
are already fitted onto a sub-base and have
already been tested. Valve terminals with from
4...16 valve locations are available for the auto-
mation process.

Type 02
Fig. 2/1: Valve terminal type 02
The valve terminal with field bus connection of-

fers the following advantages:
• decentralized preprocessing
relieves the controller (PLC)
• less wiring due to two-core cables
• clarity in system structure due to separation
of controller and machine
• valves already fitted
• valve solenoid coils already wired
• central air supply
• central exhaust
• device already tested
9609 2-3
A field bus system also offers the following ad-

vantages:
• a reduction in the number of output
modules in the controller
• economic data transfer over long distances
• high baud rate
• a large number of slaves can be linked into
the network
• error diagnosis is made easier

Complex automation tasks require the use of
sensors for which Festo offers the valve sensor
terminal. Solenoid valves, double solenoid valves
etc. are fitted onto a sub-base and have already
been tested; two sensors per valve can be con-
nected on site. Valve sensor terminals with from
4 ... 14 valves are available for the automation
process.

The valve sensor terminal includes all the advan-

tages of the valve terminal. It also offers:
• two inputs per valve location, e.g. for sensors
• two additional inputs
• two additional outputs, e.g. for electric actua-
tors, displays etc..

Explanation of the system structure

The field bus module controls the complete ex-
change of information between the field bus
slaves (decentral I/O modules), e.g. the valve
terminal/valve sensor terminals and the proces-
sor modules in the controller.
The field bus slaves are connected via the

PROFIBUS-DP interface on the module. Up to
31 field bus slaves can be connected to the in-
terface (without using repeaters/bus amplifiers).
If repeaters are used, the number of connected
valve terminals/valve sensor terminals can be in-
creased to max. 122.
9609 2-7
The field bus creates data communication be-

tween the controller and the field bus slaves
(e.g. valve terminal/valve sensor terminal) dis-
tributed throughout the system. Data trans-
mission is made in accordance with standard RS
485. Baud rates up to 1500 kBaud can be set.
The valve terminal as a decentral output mo-

dule processes the signals transmitted and con-
trols the actuators which are connected. The
valve terminal is supplied with current via an ex-
ternal power unit (AC 230V/DC 24V).
The valve sensor terminal as a decentral

input/output module functions like a valve termi-
nal. It also processes up to 30 inputs.
The air controlled by the valve terminal/valve

sensor terminal moves the actuators or is used
for other tasks.
The sensors record information (measured vari-

ables) from the control process and pass this on
to the valve sensor terminal (further process-
ing unit).

Function
The valve terminal or valve sensor terminal as a
system with decentral outputs or inputs/outputs
should be placed in the immediate vicinity of the
processing unit. Connection to the controller is
made via the field bus which operates on the
master-slave principle. The field bus module in
the control system functions here as master; the
valve terminal/valve sensor terminal functions as
(field bus) slave. The field bus module transmits
cyclic telegrams to the valve terminal/valve sen-
sor terminal. This receives and processes the
data transmitted and sends a reply telegram to
the field bus module.

Notes on function summary

The field bus node controls the following func-
tions:
• connection of the valve terminal/valve sensor
terminal to the field bus module of the control
system and to further field bus slaves via the
field bus interface.
• controlling data transfer from/to the field bus
module of the control system.
• internal control of the valve terminal/valve
sensor terminal
The operating voltage connection and a

decoder are situated on the valve coupling unit
of the valve terminal. The decoder decodes the
signals received from the field bus node and
transmits the pulses further to the valves.
The operating voltage connection and a

decoder are situated on the valve sensor coup-
ling unit of the valve sensor terminal. The
decoder decodes the signals received from the
field bus node and transmits the pulses further to
the valves. The electrical inputs for e.g. sensors
as well as two additional outputs are also avail-
able here.
The valves control the flow of air to the actua-

tors.
The valves are supplied with compressed air via

the common channels of the sub-base. The ex-
haust and pilot air from the valves are also venti-
lated via these channels.
The sub-base is connected to the common

cables of the pneumatic system via the pneu-
matic interfaces.

4.1 FITTING THE VALVE TERMINAL/VALVE SENSOR TERMINAL

Before fitting the valve terminal/valve sensor ter-
minal, please see that there is sufficient space to
the left and/or right of the sub-base for fitting the
tubing and, if necessary, the silencers.
There are 4 through holes on the left and right-

hand edges of the sub-base for fastening the
valve terminal/ valve sensor terminal (see follow-
ing diagram).

4.2 INSTALLING THE PNEUMATIC COMPONENTS
WARNING
Before installation or maintenance work is
carried out, the following must be switched off:
• the operating voltage for electronic
components and/or inputs
• the operating voltage for outputs
• the compressed air supply
Laying the tubing
PLEASE NOTE
A suitable seal should be placed under each
screw connection or silencer.
If elbow connectors or multiple distributors are
used, the air flow will usually be reduced.
General
• Connecting
1. Push the hose as far as it will go into or
over the screw connection.
2. Pull the locking ring over the hose connec-
tion or tighten the locking screw.
3. For reasons of clarity the hoses should be
grouped together with:
– hose straps or
– multiple hose holders.
• Disconnecting
1. Loosen the locking screw or locking ring
on the connection.
2. Remove the hose.
3. If necessary, replace the screw connection
with blind plugs.
9609 4-5
Preparing the sub-base

Connections for common lines are provided on
both sides of the sub-base. The common lines
can therefore be fitted on the left or the right,
depending on individual requirements. To in-
crease the air flow, we recommend that the lines
for compressed air supply and ventilation be
connected on both sides in the following cases:
• when the valve terminal/valve sensor terminal
has more than 10 valves (rated supply pres-
sure 6 bar).
• with large volume actuators
The connections should be made in accordance
with the table below.

24 V operating voltage connection
WARNING
An electrically isolating transformer as per EN
60742/IEC 742 with at least 4 kV isolation re-
sistance is required in order that the operating
voltages can be reliably separated.
The connection for the operating voltage is on

the left-hand edge of the base unit of the valve
terminal/valve sensor terminal.

4-26 9609
The following components of the valve termi-

nal/valve sensor terminal are supplied separately
with the DC +24V operating voltage via this con-
nection:
• electronic components and/or inputs
(tolerance: ± 25%)
• outputs
(tolerance: ± 10%)
PLEASE NOTE
The electronic components and inputs have a
greater tolerance range of the 24V operating
voltage than the outputs. Under certain cir-
cumstances, this can cause the electronic
components to indicate the switching status of
the outputs, although the latter are not in the
switched position (operating voltage of the out-
puts outside the tolerance range).
The 24 V operating voltage of the outputs should

be tested whilst the system is operating. Please
ensure that the operating voltage of the outputs
is within the permitted tolerances even during full
operation.
PLEASE NOTE
Always connect the earth/ground cable to
pin 4 of the operating voltage connection.
Ensure that the valve terminal housing and the
protective earth conductor at pin 4 have the
same voltage and that no equalizing currents
flow.
Connect a protective earth conductor with suf-
ficient cross section to the earth connection
marked with if the valve terminal is not
fitted on earthed machine stand.

Applying the 24 V operating voltage
CAUTION
Please observe the polarity when the operat-
ing voltage is applied.
The following diagram shows the pin assignment

of the operating voltage connection. A suitable
24 V supply should be connected via the mains
connection socket (see Chapter 3, Technical
specifications).

5.1 COMMISSIONING
Configuring the PLC

Before commissioning or programming, you
should compile a configuration list for the con-
nected field bus slaves. On the basis of this list
you can:
• make a comparison between the actual and
nominal configurations in order to eliminate
connection errors.
• access the specifications during the syntax
check of a program, in order to avoid ad-
dressing errors.
9609 5-3
Switching on the operating voltage
PLEASE NOTE
Observe also the switching on instructions in
the manual for the PLC/PC.
When the control system is switched on, the

controller compares the nominal and the actual
configuration. For the configuration run it is im-
portant that:
• the specifications on configuration are as
complete as possible and are correct;
• the power supply to the controller and to the
connected slaves is switched on either simul-
taneously or in the correct sequence.
Please observe the following points regarding

switching on the power supply:
• Common supply: If the control system and
the field bus slaves have a common power
supply, they should be switched on via a
common power supply unit or common cen-
tral switch.
• Separate supply: If the control system and
the field bus slaves have separate power
supplies, they should be switched on in the
following sequence:
1. operating voltage for the field bus slaves
2. operating voltage for the control system
5-4 9609
VIFB9 – 02 5. Commissioning
5.2 SIEMENS
General
This chapter describes the entries required for
configuring a valve terminal/valve sensor termi-
nal for a DP master. In order to understand this
chapter, you must use your configuration pro-
gram correctly.
The valve terminal/valve sensor terminal with

node FB9 supports two protocols:
• DP Siemens and
• DP standard
These two protocol variants are also known as

bus profiles. The protocols differ from each other
only slightly. You can select the protocol you
wish to use.
9609 5-5
Different configuration programs are available,

depending on the control system used (S5, S7,
...).
Examples
• COM ET200 (DOS version)
• COM ET200 (Windows version)
• SINEC NCM S7 PROFIBUS
• STEP 7 (V2X)
• SINEC NCM
...
The configuration programs are subject to modifi-

cations which may not already have been taken
into account in this manual.
5-6 9609
Commissioning tips
PLEASE NOTE
You must observe the following points in or-
der to guarantee reliable operation of your
applications with the Festo valve terminal.
• Insert the IM 308-B, IM 308-C, CP xx etc. into

the correct location on your automation de-
vice.
• The ET200 location number bears no rela-
tionship to the physical arrangement of the
input/output modules.
• Observe any limitations in the number of digi-
tal inputs/outputs e.g. CPU 941. max. 512.
• The station number set does not correspond
to the configured periphery address.
• When configuring the outputs (e.g. 8DO 8DO
8DO), note that the number of valve loca-
tions is decisive, not the number of valves
fitted.
• The periphery addresses of automation de-
vice components must not be the same as
the configured periphery addresses.
• The number of input bits on the valve sensor
terminal always increases by 2 (= status
bits).
• Switch on terminating resistor on both sides
9609 5-7
Profile selection
The profile selection is different in the individual
configuration programs. Please refer to the ap-
propriate manuals for details.
PLEASE NOTE
Some software packages no longer contain
any profile selection (e.g. STEP 7 V2.1). In
this case, always use the DP standard proto-
col.
Recommendation:
Use the PROFIBUS-DP protocol.
5-8 9609
Status bits
The valve sensor terminal always makes 2
status bits (= inputs) available for diagnostic pur-
poses.
PLEASE NOTE
Valve terminals do not have any status bits.
Please refer to chapter 6 Diagnostics/error treat-

ment for the function and position of the status
bits.
FREEZE and SYNC

The I/O processing commands FREEZE and
SYNC are not supported by the valve terminal.
In conjunction with the valve terminal/valve sen-
sor terminal, the commands FREEZE and SYNC
produce error messages.
Module consistency
The valve terminal/valve sensor terminal sup-
ports the following variants in module consist-
ency:
• over the complete length of the valve termi-
nal/valve sensor terminal
• over the selected format (byte/word).
9609 5-9
Sequence of configuration entries
CAUTION
You must always configure inputs before
outputs.
The number of inputs/outputs (rounded up to
full bytes) must correspond to the equipment
fitted on the terminal. No additional inputs or
outputs may be configured as reserves.
Station selection
The valve terminal/valve sensor terminal repre-
sents type ET200U or FESTO VI 02, depending
on the protocol setting (see chapter 4.3).
The station selection is different in the individual

configuration programs. Type files and device
master files (GSD) are available for the station
selection.
PLEASE NOTE
Information on using the GSD files and type
files can be found in:
• the file Readme on the diskette supplied
• the manual for your configuration program
Copy the type files or the GSD files supplied into

5.3 GENERAL DP-MASTER
PLEASE NOTE
Set element 3 on the DIL switch to "DP-stan-
dard" (=OFF), in order to control the Festo
valve terminal/valve sensor terminal with a
PROFIBUS-DP master.
The Festo valve terminal/valve sensor terminal

type 02 can be controlled by any PLC, PC or
industrial PC with a PROFIBUS-DP module as
per EN 50170 (DIN 19245).
Status bits
The valve terminal/valve sensor terminal always
makes 2 status bits (= inputs) available for diag-
nostic purposes.
PLEASE NOTE
• The 2 status bits always increase the
number of tinputs to be configured by 2.
• Valve terminals do not have any status bits.
Please refer to chapter 6 "Diagnostics/error treat-

ment" for the function and position of the status
bits.
5-36 9609
FREEZE and SYNC

The I/O processing commands FREEZE and
SYNC are not supported by the valve termi-
nal/valve sensor terminal. In conjunction with the
valve terminal/valve sensor terminal, the com-
mands FREEZE and SYNC produce error mess-
ages.
Module consistency
The valve terminal/valve sensor terminal sup-
ports the following variants in module consist-
ency:
• over the complete length of the valve termi-
nal/valve sensor terminal
• over the selected format (byte/word).
Sequence of configuration entries
CAUTION
You must always configure inputs before
outputs.
The number of inputs/outputs (rounded up to
full bytes) must correspond to the equipment
fitted on the terminal. No additional inputs or
outputs may be configured as reserves.
9609 5-37
Bus start
Before the valve terminal/valve sensor terminal
can be commissioned correctly, the DP-master
must perform the following functions in the se-
quence shown.

6.3 TESTING THE VALVES
WARNING
Switch off the compressed air supply before
testing the valves.
You thereby avoid undesired or dangerous

movement of the actuators.
CAUTION
● This test function runs automatically within
the terminal. All valves are switched on and

off cyclically.
● None of the programmed locking or switch-
ing conditions will be taken into account.
The terminal makes the following test routines

available with which all the valves are switched
on and off cyclically:
Test routine Meaning

Parallel All valves are switched on and off
simultaneously at 1 s intervals.
Serial All valves are switched on and off one
after the other at 1 s intervals.
Fig. 6/6: Selectable test routines
6-10 9609
Starting the test routine

1. Switch off the power supplies (pins 1 and 2).
2. Open the node.
3. Note the positions of the address selector
switch and the DIL switch elements.
4. Set DIL switch element 3 to OFF.
5. Set station no. to 199.
6. Switch on the power supplies (pins 1 and 2).

6.4 STATUS BITS

The valve terminal/valve sensor terminal makes
available 2 status bits for diagnosis, irrespective
of the protocol set.
PLEASE NOTE
The two status bits are only available on the
valve sensor terminal.
The status bits are configured like inputs and al-

ways occupy the four highest-value addresses of
the available address range.
The diagnostics information of the four status

bits is coded and contains the following
meaning:

functions in addition to the bus configuration:
• commissioning/test
• diagnosis
In order to test the valve terminal/valve sensor
terminal by means of a programmer/PC, you will
require a PROFIBUS-DP interface module, e.g.
CP 5410 from Siemens.

6.8 ERROR TREATMENT
Reaction to faults in the control system

The reaction of the Festo valve terminal/valve
sensor terminal type 02 depends, in the case of
the following faults, on the configured reaction of
the master module.
• telegram failure
• master stopped
• interruption in bus cable
When the setting or the configuration has been

completed, all the outputs (valves and electrical
outputs) are switched off or maintain their status.
WARNING
Ensure that the valves and outputs are reset
after rectifying the faults named. In this way
you can avoid dangerous situations
PLEASE NOTE
Single solenoid valves move into the basic
position; double solenoid valves remain in the
current position; mid-position valves move to
the mid-position and (depending on the type)
are pressurized, exhausted or blocked.
9609 6-27
Siemens SIMATIC S5/S7

With these controllers, you can determine the re-
action of the valve terminal/valve sensor terminal
to the following faults:
• controller failure
• bus interruption
• program stop
Almost all configuration programs contain the

function "response monitoring". For the operating
modes named, the specified time represents the
failure time of the valves and electrical outputs.
Please refer to the relevant manuals for further
details on response monitoring.
General DP-master
By means of the function Set_Prm, you can
determine the watchdog time (WD_Fact_1, Octet
2, WD_Fact_2, Octet 3). In the case of a fault,
e.g. bus failure etc., the valve terminal/valve sen-
sor terminal switches all valves and electrical
outputs off after the parametrized time.
6-28 9609
Short circuit/overload at an output module

In the case of a short circuit or overload:
• the digital output will be switched off,
• the red LED will light up,
• the short circuit error bit of the diagnostic
word will be set at logic 1,
• the error code "short circuit/overload" will be
entered in the two status bits.
In order to activate the output again, proceed as

follows.
Step Explanation
Eliminate short circuit or overload
Set output at 0 (RESET) • Manual (control)
• Automatically in the program
The error bit in the diagnostic word of the
terminal is reset at logic 0.
Fig. 6/23: Eliminating short circuit/overload
The output can then be reset at "logic 1".

If the short circuit still exists, the output will be
switched off again.
