Abstract: A regulator module serves for the regulation of an actuator, in particular a pneumatic drive, and has a regulator communication interface for for output of the regulation target value and receiving an input actual value. The regulator module comprises concatenating contacts for in line arrangement on a fluid power and in particular pneumatic valve cluster with several valve modules, arranged in a row direction adjacent to each other for the fluid control of fluid power actuators and that the regulator module has an internal bus interface for connection with an internal communication bus of the valve cluster and that the regulator module is able to be connected by way of the internal communication bus with a valve cluster communication means for external communication of the valve cluster.

Abstract: A regulator module (25a and 25b) serves for the regulation of an actuator (18c and 18d), in particular a pneumatic drive, and has a regulator communication interface for (27) for output of the regulation target value and receiving an input actual value. The regulator module (25a and 25b) comprises concatenating contacts (39) for in line arrangement on a fluid power and in particular pneumatic valve cluster (11a, 11b) with several valve modules 16), arranged in a row direction adjacent to each other for the fluid control of fluid power actuators (18c and 18d) and that the regulator module (25a and 25b) has an internal bus interface (26) for connection with an internal communication bus (21) of the valve cluster (11a, 11b) and that the regulator module (25a and 25b) is able to be connected by way of the internal communication bus (21) with a valve cluster communication means (14a and 14b) for external communication of the valve cluster (11a, 11b).
