Festo VAEM series Serial Interface

Use this serial interface from Festo as a safe communication solution for pneumatic equipment in harsh industrial environments. It transmits electrical signals to solenoid valves in automated operation and control setups. Together with CTEU bus nodes, this device supports numerous communication protocols, including Ethernet/IP and PROFIBUS, making it a versatile communication tool. Its 16-valve design means that you can use it to manage as many as 32 solenoid coils, reducing the wiring needs of your pneumatic system.

• M12 plug with metal thread for a secure connection to the bus nodes
• Low current consumption of 30mA for energy efficiency and minimal heat dissipation
• Wide operating temperature range of -5°C to +50°C for use in demanding settings
• IP67 rating indicates it's dustproof and can withstand high-pressure water jets

• Food and beverage production
• Oil and gas plants
• Automotive industries

This serial interface weighs 49g, which means it's easy to handle during installation and it won't strain your equipment.

This serial interface has a 5-pin M12 connector. Each pin transmits a different signal type, from operating voltage to data signals.
