Product Description:

The 7XV116.50-01 is a remote valve output module produced by B&R Automation for the 7XV Remote Valve Terminals series. Installed in pneumatic or hydraulic manifolds, it forwards actuation commands over a centralized fieldbus to clustered solenoid valves so that distributed machines can be controlled without long individual cable runs. In an automation cell, the unit converts logic-level signals from the controller into 24 V power paths that energize valve coils and shift mechanical spools. This arrangement reduces the amount of individual wiring required between the controller and each valve.

This module provides 16 individually switchable digital outputs, each referenced to ground pins 22 through 25 on the 25-pin D-Sub valve connector. Every channel sources current through a high-side driver, and its rated load path is limited to 0.1 A so miniature coil windings are not overheated. Output voltage is fixed at 24 VDC, matching common industrial power supplies, while the aggregate output pattern may toggle at up to 100 Hz when rapid valve cycling is required. Transitions from low to high occur after a typical on-delay of 150 µs, allowing stroke timing to be calculated for coordinated sequences. All signals reach the board through a compact 10-pin bus connector that carries both logic lines and the 1.6 A nominal supply.

Internal logic and drivers draw a maximum of 0.75 W, allowing dense cabinet layouts without additional cooling. The exposed housing has an IP20 protection rating, so the module must be mounted inside an enclosure that excludes debris and liquids. Its overall dimensions are 63 × 59 × 20 mm, which helps conserve DIN-rail space, and the assembly has a mass of 56 g, placing little stress on bus carriers. The output has a typical off-delay of 175 µs after a channel is switched off. A supply capacitance of 220 µF supports the module’s internal energy storage, while its total nominal current is 1.6 A.
