Emerson, whose headquarters are located in Missouri, USA, has launched what it describes as “a major update” to the ASCO Numatics G3 Series electronic valve island platform. The company says the new system will enable a reduction in installation costs.
The valve island has been expanded so that it can control up to 128 solenoid valves on a single valve island assembly. Emerson says this allows more valves to be controlled from a single node, enabling savings in the number of nodes and the cabling, internal tubing and electrical connections in the cabinet.
The company says its customers will benefit when they control a high density of valves or pneumatic equipment in a packaging plant or on a skid.
