Key features At a glance The sub-base VABP can be used to help realise specific switch-off behaviour when switching off the valve load voltage. It is a single-channel solution for uncoupling the drive from the power valve. 4 switch-off functions are possible. The sub-base is not a safety device, nor is it a complete safety solution. However, it can form part of a safety solution. Features: Compact design Simple installation Suitable for servopneumatic drives Can be attached directly to the proportional directional control valve VPWP Connecting cable for direct connection to the proportional directional control valve VPWP Suitable for cylinders that are controlled by 5/- or 5/3-way valves For ISO valves with spring return and external auxiliary pilot air Extended accessories: ISO solenoid valves with switching position sensing for producing a diagnostic rate 60% The technology in detail Sub-base VABP (example with valves mounted) Pilot air port 3 Function port B 4 Function port A 5 Solenoid valve VSVA, MNH 6 Proportional directional control valve VPWP 7 Mounting screws 5 6 7 3 4 The 4 different single-channel switchoff functions can be configured using function ports 3 (A) and 34 (B): Stopping a movement: blocking De-energising: exhausting Reversing with reduced speed Switching off power: short-circuit VAPB B A -H- Note An application document "Demonstrating VABP protective measures" is available from the Support Portal.

Switch-off variants Circuit : De-energising exhausting When the valves are switched off, the drive will be exhausted. Note: Not suitable for a vertical mounting position without additional safety functions If the exhaust air flow control valves are closed, the drive will not be exhausted Exhausting is also possible via the silencer Exhaust air flow control valve or silencer Circuit 3: Reversing (advancing) and reducing speed When the solenoid valves are switched off, the movement of a retracting drive is reversed with simultaneous reduction of speed. The drive travels into the end position. Note: The holding function is time-limited To generate the reversing movement even in the event of compressed air failure, an air reservoir with nonreturn function can be inserted at port [3] for compressed air supply.

Note: Following actuation of the switchoff function, the drive will be under pressure Not suitable for a vertical mounting position without additional safety functions To restrict the run-out movement, it is recommended that a thin tube (4 or 6 mm) or a flow control valve (e.g. GRO...) is used for connecting the ports [3] and [34].
