SOLENOID VALVES, CONTROL VALVES, PILOT VALVES

Ports/positions: The function of a valve (3/2, 4/2, 5/3 etc.) is indicated by two gures: - the rst shows the number of ports, (NB: pilot ports do not count) - the second shows the number of valve positions. ex. : 3/2 = : 5/3 = 3 ports - 2 positions 5 ports - 3 positions Connection of supply and exhaust ports: - connected to pressure supply Direction of ow: The arrow in the square shows the direction of ow of the uid. Normally the pipework is shown connected to the square representing the valve in its non-actuated position. Pilot and return : The method of valve actuation is indicated by symbols added to the squares. The pilot control is shown on the left-hand sideand the return on the right-hand side. Exemple: pilot/control direct solenoid valve return spring

The symbol for the solenoid or the pressureoperated valve has the same number of squares as the valve has positions. The right-hand square shows the valve in its non-actuated (rest) position, the left-hand square corresponds to a valve in its actuated (work) position. 2 positions 3 positions

Internal or external pressure supply internal external - exhaust wich can be piped

Function: - NC = normally closed (rest position) - NO = normally open (rest position) - U = universal (pressure supply to any one of the ports)

- exhaust wich cannot be piped

- Ports numbers comply with standard ISO 5599 as follows . Main ports: 2/2 - 3/2 1-2-3 1: Supply pressure (NC) 2: Outlet 3: Exhaust 4/2 - 5/2 - 5/3 1-2-3-4-5 1 : Supply pressure 2 - 4: Outlets 3 - 5: Exhausts

In solenoid valves 3/2 NO, pressure is usually in port 3, exhaust in port 1. . A functional symbol of two gures describes pilot ports (12 - 14 or 10). It indicates which ports are activated by signal: - signal 12: activates ports 1 and 2 - signal 14: activates ports 1 and 4 - signal 10: deactivates ports 1 and 2 (2/2 and 3/2 valves) All leaets are available on: www.asconumatics.eu P025-1
