Isys Micro simplifies pneumatic-system building

Parker Hannifin has released the Isys Micro, a centralised plug-in valve system that simplifies the building of compact pneumatic systems.

The Isys Micro allows users to choose from various installation configurations, communication protocols and override systems.

The new plug-in valve island features a robust metal sub-base onto which up to four valves can be fitted.

The compact back-to-back design incorporates four solenoid valves in each 42mm-wide slice, producing up to eight functions per module.

The valves also feature Parker's Wear Compensating Seal Technology, which can achieve 50 million cycles.

This modular plug-in valve system removes the need for individual wiring.

Using either front or bottom-ported modules gives the system the necessary pneumatic connections together on one side of the unit.

The Isys Micro features a Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet communication system that allows users to use a choice of protocols to connect to the valve island.

The unit is compatible with Parker's Isysnet communications system, with a single communications module able to support up to 63 I/O modules and 256 inputs and outputs.

The multi-function manual override feature enables the standard non-locking manual override to be easily changed to locking or blocked, allowing machine manufacturers to lock the system settings before supplying the product to the customer.

The system can also be branded to allow OEMs to control their brand integrity.

A full range of accessories are available for use with the Isys Micro, including valve-island end kits and Fieldbus modules and cabling, providing a centralised pneumatic valve system for a range of applications.
