A) OPERATING PRINCIPLE
On de-energized condition of the solenoid, pressure applied at the inlet port, a part of media from the inlet port # 1 is drawn
through the internal pilot passage which is blocked under Plunger. In case of External Pilot Operated Valve the external
pilot port # 7 is drawn through the external pilot passage is blocked by plunger. In this state the Inlet port # 1 & Outlet port
# 4 is connected. Outlet port # 2 & Exhaust port # 3 are connected; Exhaust Port # 5 is blocked.
On energized condition of the solenoid, Plunger moves up and media from pilot passage acts on the piston assembly thus,
poppet assembly goes down and connecting. In this state Inlet port # 1 & Outlet port # 2 is connected. Outlet Port # 4 &
Exhaust port # 5 are connected; Exhaust port # 3 is blocked.
NOTE: IN CASE WHEN THE VALVE IS OPERATED AS EXTERNAL PILOT OPERATED VALVE, THE PILOT AIR
