Our Purpose The British Fluid Power Association is the voice of a billion-pound industry at the heart of the UK’s manufacturing capability. As the voice of these two vital industries, the BFPA is there to: represent the interests of the fluid power industry at national, European and international level, working with government, legislative bodies and other professional associations create, raise and maintain standards provide members with exclusive market insight, industry trends and forecasts be an information exchange and share best practice How to join To find out more about the BFPA, please have a look at our website www.bfpa.co.uk , where you can also request or download a membership pack, a membership application form. If you have an questions please email us at enquiries@bfpa.co.uk or call 01608 647900 . MEMBER OF: APPROVED HOSE ASSEMBLIES SCHEME INDUSTRY REPRESENTATION STRATEGIC ALLIANCE PARTNERSHIPS TECHNICAL STANDARDS STATISTICS TRAINING EVENTS MEMBERS BENEFIT FROM… Camozzi Automation has extended its range of Industry 4.0-ready Series D valve islands, with the introduction of 2 new sizes; Size 2 (16mm) and Size 5 (10.5mm & 16mm). Size 2 has been designed especially for applications where a compact solution, combined with a high flow rate is required, while Size 5 offers a mix of sizes (10.5mm and 16mm) on a single valve island that offers a common multipole or fieldbus connection. Across the range, Series D now offers flow rates from 250Nl/min up to 2000 Nl/min. High versatile Series D valve islands are a highly versatile solution, allowing expandable pneumatic and electrical functions in restricted spaces. Constructed entirely of aluminium to guarantee high performance, especially in harsh and demanding conditions, the range is Industry 4.0 ready due to Camozzi’s advanced CoilVision technology. CoilVision employs integrated electronics to constantly monitor the operating parameters of the solenoid driving the spool. Data, including power consumption and coil temperature, is automatically analysed and processed by software algorithms to determine the real time health status of the coils. Results transmitted from the valve island to the PLC or through WLAN to an IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) gateway and onto the Cloud, can be used to predict a potential fault in the coil before it has the opportunity to cause disruption. In addition to the diagnostics being captured on a remote dashboard, the valve body also incorporates blinking LEDs that can indicate a potential fault. The Series D range’s wide number of electrical connection possibilities allow islands with a variety of valve positions and different pressure zones to be created. Series D fieldbus versions are able to handle both digital and analogue electric input and output signals and can be connected to the main fieldbus protocols (PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET, CANopen, EtherNET/IP, EtherCAT and IO- Link) through a serial module. www.camozzi.co.uk Camozzi expands Industry 4.0-ready valve island range
