SY5000, Pilot Air Control Valves

Pilot air control valves are used to split a manifold into separate pneumatically controlled zones.  The pilot air control valve controls the pilot air supply for the downstream valves up to the next zone.  The zone is taken in/out of service by energizing/de-energizing the control valve.  Splitting a manifold into zones can permit a single zone to be switched off for maintenance or due to a safety fault while the remaining valves remain operational.

SY5100-X31, Pilot Air Control Valve with Spool Detection and Spring Return Spool
The SY5100-X31 is a single solenoid valve for controlling the pilot air supply to the dwonstream valves within its zone.  De-energizing the SY-X31 renders the downstream valves inoperable in response to a safe fault or for maintenance purposes.  The return spring assures the return of the valve to the safe state when de-energized without requiring…
