Publication number: 20240103472Abstract: A valve driver system for driving a plurality of valves of a valve manifold. The system includes a plurality of valve drivers, wherein each valve driver is configured to drive a zone of one or more valves of the manifold; and, a power board that separately powers the respective valve drivers such that the valve drivers are powered separately with a separate power source that can individually power the valve driver. A multiple safety zone valve driver system for driving a plurality of valves of a valve manifold. The system includes a plurality of valve drivers; a first safe PM output; and a second safe PM output. The first and second safe PM outputs are configured such that in response to a first type of safety event the first PM output shuts off power to the first one or more valve drivers and the second PM output maintains power to the second one or more valve drivers. A zoning adapter for adapting logical addresses of valve drivers to physical addresses of valves of a valve manifold.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Erick W. Rudaitis, Timothy Faillo, Serge Rondreux, Patrick Berdal

Patent number: 6763848Abstract: The invention relates to a block of pneumatic modules consisting of a plurality of adjacent distribution modules, juxtaposed and kept tightened against each other along parallel faces and between two end modules by assembly means passing through all the distribution modules and at least one of the end modules. The assembly means comprise, for each distribution module, a single through rod with a first externally threaded end and a second internally threaded end, the second end of each rod being shaped as a head whose external surface is not of revolution about the axis of the rod and which, in service, at least partially projects from a face of the module through which the rod passes, the face of the adjacent module turned towards the head having a recess corresponding in shape to the above mentioned head.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: Parker Hannifin Rak SAInventors: Serge Rondreux, Jean-Luc Burban, Daniel Bouteille

Patent number: 6408868Abstract: An interface module for an island of electropneumatic control valves on bases, the module comprising a body having at least one face for connection to a base of the island and, away from said base, means for coupling to at least a first external duct, said body having at least one internal main channel, a secondary channel, and a branch internal channel for connecting the main channel to the secondary channel, which branch channel is provided with a two-position selector which, depending on its position, provides continuity for the connection or interrupts it. The selector also has has connection means for connecting the secondary channel to a second external duct, which means are accessible from outside the module when the selector is in its interruption position and are masked when the selector is in its continuity position.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2001Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Parker Hannifin RAK SAInventors: Serge Rondreux, Grégory Lucas, Daniel Bouteille
