Internal shut-off in case of the following errors:

▶ Drop of supply voltage UB ≤15 V and restarting at UB ≥17.5 V.
Fail-safe p = 0 bar ⇒ 7 ms
▶ Only at interface "F1":
– Falling below the minimum current command value of 2 mA
(includes cable break of the command value line (current loop))
▶ Only at interface "L1":
p = 100 bar ⇒ 10 ms – Enable inactive, communication interruption (watchdog)
– In case of internal IO-Link error

Project planning information

▶ The use of the valves with IO-Link as a shut-off

element up to category 3, PL d according to
EN 13849-1 is possible from component series 32. For
additional application notes regarding safe "shut-off",
see operating instructions 29118-B.
▶ For component series 30 and 31, the valve cannot be
used for "safe shut-off".
