EB 80
EB 80 is an electro-pneumatic system. A single assembly can combine solenoid valves of all types, multi-position bases, pneumatic and electric supplies arranged as desired in a system, digital or analogue input or output signal control modules and much more besides. The EB 80 system is protected by numerous patents and utility models, which enhance the most innovative design solutions. The possible combinations are endless, but they can be obtained using a small number of basic components. In order to achieve this objective, a single size of small yet high-performance valves to cover the vast majority of applications was conceived. A single electronic control unit is provided when supplying 12VDC or 24VDC valves with multi-pole cables or with a field bus for each protocol. All EB 80 versions come with an efficient diagnostic system. EB 80 BOXI consists of a solid base that accommodates pneumatic and electrical connections, the electronics and up to 4 valves. The multi-function module is an important extension of the possibilities offered by the EB 80 systems to manage the performance of actuators controlled by individual solenoid valves.

HDM
HDMs are the ideal solution for those requiring the unbeatable performance, flexibility and modularity of Multimach valves combined with sturdy mechanics and a high degree of protection against external agents. Each valve is enclosed in a reinforced technopolymer protective shell that acts as a shock-absorber and prevents the infiltration of dirt. The smooth, rounded design makes HDMs ideal for applications requiring frequent washing without the deposit of residues. All the pneumatic connections are on one side, with built-in push-in fittings. The user interface is on another side so that the fitter and the service engineer have everything at hand. Flexibility is high: there are 1-16 valves, input and output terminals for pipes of different sizes and intermediate modules for separate inputs and outputs. Valves of different capacities can be mounted as required.

CM Clever Multimach
Clever Multimach valves can be used to form autonomous and intelligent valve island subsystems. Each valve has a microchip that performs a series of functions connected with operation and dialogue with the valves before and after it. Valves communicate via serial transmission. CM refers to the communication protocol. It is a field-bus in its own right, designed specifically for very easy control of islands of pneumatic solenoid valves. CM valves have a diagnosis system that detects electrical faults. It can also be used to verify during installation that all connections are correct. Multi-pole connections and field buses with different communication protocols are available for controlling the valve distribution island.

Multimach
Multimach is an electropneumatic distribution “island” - a single block ready for connection to power and air delivery pipes and a multi-pin cable. All the pneumatic connections are situated on one side with built-in push-in fittings. The user interface is on the other side: manual controls, active valve signalling lights, compressed air system diagram, valve identification plates. The user can count on four different orientations for the electric connector. Multimach provides full flexibility in the application of valves: 1 to 24 valves, power plates and drain for pipes of various sizes, electric 9- or 25-pin plug connector. It is possible to mount valves of different flow rates.
