All AVENTICS communication nodes should be grounded during the installation process. Proper grounding guidelines can be found in National Electrical code IEC 60204-1 or EN 60204-1. All AVENTICS G3 Electronics Products must only be installed or wired in accordance with ASCO AVENTICS published instructions and applicable electrical codes. ...
Now an exciting technology from Aventics extends Electronic Marshalling, and for the first time allows integrated control of pneumatic valve manifolds on one network. The Aventics 580 CHARM node, attached to an Aventics 501/502/503 Series valve manifold, can interface directly with the DeltaV Characterization Module (CHARM) I/O card from Emerson.
The 580 CHARM Node connects to a variety of valve series including, the 501, 502, and 503. The 580 CHARM Node is capable of addressing a total of (48) coil outputs in the 501 Series and (32) coil outputs in the 502 & 503 Series, with diagnostic functionality built in. With proper assembly and termination, the 580 CHARM Node has an IP65 rating.
In order to achieve 48 coils using the CHARM module the user will be required to use a 24 Station (48 Coil) 501 Series manifold. This manifold will utilize a special manifold block that includes another valve driver that is in addition to the driver in the 580 CHARM module. Baseplate Baseplate...
580 CHARM Technical Manual Maximum Coil Capability If a user requires more coils than a single valve manifold can provide, multiple valve manifolds may be connected to a single CIOC when using the appropriate cable sets In order to achieve the maximum number of coils available using a single CIOC and the CHARM module the user will be required to use two valve manifolds in conjunction with each other.
580 CHARM Technical Manual Multiple manifold CHARM Cable Sets: In order to attach multiple manifolds to one CIOC, two separate cable kits must be used. CHARM Power and Communication cables: Part number: P599AF519387001 – 1.5M Length (set of 2 cables) Part number: P599AF519387002 –...
580 CHARM Technical Manual Pneumatic Valve Manifold The pneumatic valve manifold with internal circuit board technology is modular. The valve solenoid coil connections are automatically made using Z-Board ™ technology (plug together PC boards, which allow internal connections from solenoid coils to output drivers without the use of wires). This allows easy assembly and field changes.
580 CHARM Technical Manual Solenoid Coil Connections using Z-Board Technology Z-Board ™ plug together technology connects all valve solenoids to the valve coil output drivers, located in the 580 Node. There is a maximum of 48 coil outputs available on the complete manifold assemblies. The 48 available outputs are accessed on the 501 series valves utilizing 3 or 4 station manifolds and on the 502 and 503 series utilizing 2 station manifolds.
580 CHARM Technical Manual Z-Board™ Connectors The 501/502/503 valve series utilize 3 different Z-Board ™ designs to achieve the single and double solenoid output functions. This yields the possible 48 single, 24 double, or various combinations of valve coil output capabilities.
