Festo VTOC Valve  Manifold

VTOC ValveMaximum compactness with a single valve manifold;
Designed for use as a pilot valve


The compact and flexible VTOC valve is unique in the ability to install a high number of valves in the most tightly confined spaces. The VTOC valve manifold offers the flexibility to select the most suitable configuration. Choices on the number of valves; the type of electrical connectors; and the location of the pneumatic ports can be selected making this manifold perfectly suited to meet any custom requirements.

The valves are ideal for piloting process valves commonly used in Semiconductor, Process and Bio-Pharma industries.

NEW PLC Fundamentals Training Class unveiled


 
FX3u Gibson Engineering's Training Department recently unveiled a new one-day training class designed to introduce customers to PLC Fundamentals. Attendees of this hands-on class learn the basics of PLC hardware system components. We will also discuss the details of various types of I/O, physical addressing within the PLC and the different numeric data types used during programming.

The class also introduces ladder logic functions and they are combined to create PLC programs. This provides the perfect forum for customers new to PLCs to create and troubleshoot programs.
