Reduce and Simplify Pneumatic Wiring
The KEYENCE Smart Valve Manifold enables unmatched flexibility with its modular design. Utilise any size or valve type in conjunction with each other, eliminating the need for uniformity by foregoing a traditional backplate. Visualisation and monitoring of the pneumatic system can be done easily with the pre-programmed software on all communication units, allowing for remote control and troubleshooting. Each valve is equipped with an M8 quick disconnect, allowing for communication of ON/OFF status, piston position, impact level, and stroke time that can be taken back over EtherNet/IP™, PROFINET, EtherCAT®, Modbus/TCP, and IO-Link. Identifying cylinder performance and remote operation of valves and sensors is easily achieved, streamlining installation and troubleshooting.

Features
Design and Install Valve Manifold with Unmatched Flexibility
Fully Customisable Valve Manifolds
Units can be easily added, even as a retrofit
Select valve units without restrictions on type or size. Easily add or remove valves at any time, regardless of your initial configuration.
Consolidation of Data from Connected Equipment through Linear Cylinder Sensor Integration
The SP-N/V Series allows Linear Cylinder Sensors to be connected directly to the sensor connection ports. This enables consolidation and communication of the status of valves connected to the network module as well as various parameters (including sensor ON/OFF, piston position, and impact level) via the manifold. When linked with a control panel or the Web server function, this enables visualisation of the operating status of the entire air pressure control system.
Reduce and Simplify Pneumatic Wiring
Wiring pneumatic cylinder sensors has never been simpler with the design of the SP-V valve. Each valve is equipped with a dedicated M8 QD connector to seamlessly integrate cylinder sensors that are installed on the machine. The dedicated connector removes the need for external IO blocks or additional wiring in the PLC. All outputs and data from the sensor will be taken back with the SP-N communication unit to decrease time on programming.

Streamline Installation Process and Adjustments
Valve and Output Testing with the Press of a Button
Testing each valve and setting the cylinder switch outputs can be done in seconds when utilising the web server or pneumatic panel. What used to be a two-person job, can be done remotely with one.
Self-Learning Technology to Understand Optimal Operating Conditions
Native to the Smart Valve Manifold’s pre-programmed software is the ability to identify the optimal operating conditions to help assist with any corrective adjustments that need to be made.
Eliminate Time Spent Troubleshooting and Prevent Future Problems
Reduce Downtime by Quickly Identifying the Cause of Problem
Understand at a glance the root cause of errors to eliminate the time spent troubleshooting with full pneumatic status control. Identify exactly where the error is occurring.
Automated Predictive Maintenance Alerts to Notify on Health of Valves
Pre-entered lifetime values of cylinders and valves can be entered to notify you when the number of strokes is reaching the upper limit to avoid unwanted errors, faults, or part failure.
