PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PEPPERL & FUCHS 70133300 - AS-Interface Master Module with Integrated Valve Control and PROFINET Gateway
This PEPPERL & FUCHS module, part of the VBA series, functions as an AS-Interface master with integrated PROFINET gateway capabilities, specifically designed for controlling pneumatic actuators. It facilitates the seamless integration of AS-Interface networks into higher-level PROFINET control systems, providing direct control for two pneumatic valves and monitoring two digital inputs. This architecture optimizes distributed I/O and simplifies wiring in complex industrial environments.
