Pneumatic-valve fieldbus - Bosch Rexroth

Series HF03-LG, HF04, and CD01/02-PI valve manifold systems now support  Sercos III and Ethernet/IP. The valves include body sizes with 10, 15, 18, and 26-mm widths, and all electric, pneumatic, supply, and exhaust connections are on one plane to simplify installation. Discrete output modules control up to 2 A current draw per point, and modular expansion of discrete and solenoid outputs is possible.
The Sercos III version features up to 32 outputs/valve manifold and one bus module can control up to four valve manifolds. The EtherNet/IP version features up to 48 inputs/valve manifold in addition to solenoid and discrete outputs, and one bus module controls up to four valve manifolds. The standard module works with EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and TCP/IP protocols.
