AirLINE Ex 8650 is a pneumatic valve block specially developed for the ET 200iSP distributed I/O system of SIMATIC PCS 7, and is used to control process and production sequences in hazardous areas of Zone 1/21. Through integration of the pneumatic valve block into the ET 200iSP station, the latter's electric I/O functions are expanded by pneumatic 3/2-way or 5/2-way control functions.

Pneumatic functions reduce the costs for wiring and the associated documentation. They save space, simplify the proof of intrinsic safety, and have a favorable effect on the power loss and the associated self-heating.

Typical fields of application can be found in process and production automation associated with biotechnology and in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Note:

As an integral component of the ET 200iSP, the AirLINE Ex 8650 pneumatic valve block can be used together with SIMATIC PCS 7 V7 or V8. It is linked using the IM 152-1 interface module of the ET 200iSP station. It is supported by means of the Generic Station Description (GSD), the Electronic Device Description (EDD) and the Hardware Support Package (HSP).
