Valve Terminals - Pneumatic Valve Manifolds for Integrated Control

Valve terminals (also known as pneumatic valve manifolds or valve islands) integrate multiple solenoid valves on a shared pneumatic and electrical platform.

What is a Valve Terminal?

Valve terminals (also known as pneumatic valve manifolds or valve islands) integrate multiple solenoid valves onto a common base that shares air supply and electrical connections. This modular design saves space, reduces wiring, and simplifies installation in complex automation systems.

Note for visitors: This page is for industrial pneumatic valve terminals used in factory automation and process control. If you are looking for PEX plumbing manifolds, irrigation valve manifolds, or automotive intake manifolds, please contact the respective suppliers.

Why Use Valve Terminals?

Traditional pneumatic systems require individual tubing and wiring for each solenoid valve. Valve terminals solve this by:

● Shared air supply - One common inlet feeds all valves

● Centralized electrical connection - Single multi-pin connector or fieldbus interface

● Reduced installation time - No individual wiring and tubing for each valve

● Compact footprint - Up to 50% space savings

● Diagnostics - Integrated status LEDs and bus communication

FAQs

Q1: Are these the same as PEX plumbing manifolds or sprinkler valve manifolds?

A1: No. Our valve terminals are industrial pneumatic valve manifolds for factory automation, not plumbing, irrigation, or automotive manifolds.

Q2: What is a valve terminal?

A2: A valve terminal (also called a valve manifold or valve island) is an assembly of multiple pneumatic solenoid valves on a common base that shares air supply and electrical connections.

Q3: What communication protocols do your valve terminals support?

A3: We support IO-Link, ProfiNet, EtherNet/IP, CC-Link, Modbus TCP, and standard parallel wiring.

Q4: How many valves can be mounted on one valve terminal?

A4: From 2 to 32 valves depending on the model and valve width.

Q5: Can valve terminals be expanded later?

A5: Yes, modular valve terminals allow easy expansion by adding additional valve sections or using a larger size.
