SMC offers a wide range of serial interface units which include EX600, EX510 and EX500, used for various valves applications.
With a full set of programmable and diagnostics parameters, the EX600 serial interface is highly flexible with options to choose from, including analog input, digital input and digital output unit. The EX600 communication module can be attached with up to nine remote D-sub manifolds using D-sub output blocks. EX600 serial interface is compatible with series: VQC1000/2000/4000, SV1000/2000/3000 and S0700 valves as well as with the new SY series valves.
On the other hand, the conventional EX510 series enables the connection of more sensors and valves. This serial interface allows saving of wires as it only requires a mere power supply cable to the GW unit.
Also, only the address for the GW unit is needed to be set in this unit. Unlike the EX120 series interface, the EX510 series has a more compact volume ratio of 60 percent.
Meanwhile, the EX500 serial interface is the unit which allows the connection of a maximum of four valve manifolds with up to 16 solenoids each. The EX500 serial interface can control up to a maximum of 64 solenoids. EX500 is compatible with VQC1000/2000/4000 as well as SV1000/2000/3000/4000 valves. Available protocols for this serial interface include Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, Profibus-DP, CC-Link and DeviceNet.
