5.1.4 Assembly of VS18/VS26 valve islands
Tools:
VS18: Hexagon wrench key 2.5mm
Philips screwdriver size 1
VS26: Hexagon wrench key 3mm
Philips screwdriver size 1
To assemble a complete valve island, make sure you have ordered all necessary components
and the required tools are available.
1. First bolt all modular sub-bases together. Ensure sub-bases are properly aligned and the
gasket is fitted between the sub-bases. Then tighten the mounting screws (two per modular
sub-base) with the specified torque. If you are using a power screwdriver, consider the
maximum speed allowed.
For multi pressure applications, please refer to section
When ordering an even number of stations, please ensure the valve island contains a
maximum of two single station modular sub-bases. E.g.: You order an 8-station Multipole
valve island with an 8-station main PCB. The valve island must have at least three double
station modular sub-bases and must have no more than two single station modular subbases.
When ordering an odd number of stations, the single station modular sub-base should be at
the right end of the valve island. In addition, you can use two additional single station
modular sub-bases, for a total of three.
VS2672926-KG00E_05/07 Page 17/97
Page 18
VS18/VS26 MAINTENANCE & INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
2. Mount the left and right end plate to the modular sub-base. Ensure end plates are properly
aligned and the end plate gasket is fitted. Then tighten the mounting screws (two per end
plate) with the specified torque. If you are using a power screwdriver, consider the maximum
speed allowed.
1. Ensure gasket is fitted on the bottom of the blanking plate or ISEM. Place blanking plate
or ISEM onto the modular sub-base aligned to the interface.
2. Tighten valve mounting screws (two per blanking plate/ISEM) with the specified torque.
If you are using a power screwdriver consider the maximum speed allowed.

5.1.6 Internal/external pilot air supply
The position of the gasket between valve body and pilot valve defines and indicates pilot air
supply. Conversion between internal and external pilot supply occurs by flipping the red gasket.
Internal pilot air supply (fig. 1): from port 1
External pilot air supply (fig. 2): from port 12/14
In any case pilot exhaust air is collected and exhausted via port 82/84.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Solenoid 12 Solenoid 12
Solenoid 14 Solenoid 14
Such conversion in the field should occur only when minimum operating pressure is not
available at port 1. In these applications, the minimum operating pressure (or higher) is required
at port 12/14 on the end plate.
Note:
After flipping the gasket, data on the valve label (symbol and part number) are no longer
accurate. Furthermore, when changing valves or accessories (valve function, sandwich plate,
etc.) on a valve island, the part number on the label will no longer correspond to the
configuration. If you order the valve island based on the Norgren part number, the original
configuration will be delivered.
By assembling blanking discs in ports 1, 3 and/or 5 as well as 12/14 you have the possibility to
porting different pressures.
1. Install blanking discs depending on required pressure isolation requirements during the
assembly of the modular sub-bases.
2. Generate pressure supply by connecting left and right end plate. Additionally, you have the
possibility to mount an intermediate supply/exhaust module on a valve station.
1. Insert screws on the left and right end plates and position below the mounting nuts. (Screws
and mounting nuts are included in the DIN-rail mounting kit.) Tighten screws two revolutions
in the mounting nuts.
2. Place the valve island on the DIN-rail. Orientate straight flange of the mounting nuts towards
the DIN-rail.
3. Push the valve island on the DIN-rail and tighten screws with the specified torque. Check
the fit of the valve island.

8.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
VS18/VS26 Fieldbus valve islands range from a minimum of four valve stations to a maximum
of 16 valve stations (32 solenoids). The exception to this rule is AS-Interface (see section
Please refer to section
VS18/VS26 valve islands are available with below listed Fieldbus protocols. Please refer to the
indicated section for detailed information on these protocols.
• Profibus DP Section
• DeviceNet Section
• CANopen Section
• Interbus-S Section
• AS-Interface Section
• FD67 bus Section
VS18/VS26 Fieldbus valve islands contain electronic devices, which could be damaged through
electrostatic discharge. Therefore electrostatic precautions must be taken. Specifically, the
person assembling or configuring the valve island must be connected to an earth ground.
The valve island should be mounted on an earthed base to improve the EMC behaviour.

8.1.1 Power supply and pin assignment
VS18/VS26 Fieldbus valve islands are designed to be used with a protective extra low voltage
(PELV) power supply (UL Class 2 Supply only) according to IEC 364-4-41. As a result, an earth
connection for safety reasons is not required because the supply voltage is restricted to a
maximum of 42.2 volts even under fault conditions. However, the earth must be connected. It is
not a protective earth, but is required to provide EMC shielding.
The power supply of the Fieldbus valve islands (excluding the version with AS-Interface or
FD67 bus) are made by an 4-pin M12 connector. Using Profibus DP, a 5-pin 7/8“ connector is
also available.

Calculating possible line lengths
The maximum admissible distance between two bus stations in each Profibus network can be
calculated as follows:
(NO_REP + 1) * Segment length
NO_REP = The maximum number of repeaters connected in series (depends on repeater type).
Example: The repeater manufacturer’s specifications allow nine repeaters to be connected in
series. The maximum distance between two bus stations at a data transfer rate of 1’500 kBit/s is
then as follows:
(9 + 1) * 200 m = 2’000 m

Wiring termination
The active bus termination using a resistor combination avoids signal reflections during data
transfer and ensures a defined zero-signal voltage on the data lines when none of the stations
on the bus are active. Active termination must be provided at the beginning and end of each
RS485 bus segment.

Line termination of wire A in acc. With EN 50 170
If the bus termination is missing, this can cause errors during data transfer. Problems can also
arise if too many bus terminators are fitted since each bus terminator also represents an
electrical load and reduces the signal levels and thus the signal-to-noise ratio. Too many or
missing bus terminators can also cause intermittent data transfer errors, particularly if the bus
segment is operated close to the specified limits for maximum numbers of stations, maximum
bus segment length and maximum data transfer rate.
The power required by the active bus termination is usually obtained through the bus connector
from stations connected to the bus. Alternative measures must be taken if there is no guarantee
that the power required by the bus termination is permanently provided while the bus is
operating. For example, in a particular installation the station providing the power to the bus
termination may need to be repeatedly switched off or removed from the bus for operational
reasons. In such cases, the bus termination should use an external power supply or a repeater
should be used for bus termination instead.

8.2.3 Profibus DP address and baud rate setting
The VS18/VS26 Profibus DP valve island address can be set within the range 1 to 99 (rotary
switch) resp. 125 (software). To set the address, use the selector switches accessible by
removing the securing screw and lifting the hinged cover of the address switches. The two
rotary switches allow an address range of 1 to 99. The valve island needs a power reset to
accept a new address. When position 0 is selected on both switches the address may be set
through software via a capable master.
Default address = 125
Following are VS18/VS26 Profibus DP baud rates, which are detected automatically:
The number of configured output bytes can be changed if required. The default setting is always
on the maximum (4 output bytes). To change the number of outputs you have to remove the
Fieldbus PCB and modify the DIP switch as follows:

8.2.5 Diagnostics
The VS18/VS26 Profibus DP slave uses diagnostic telegrams as a high-priority response to
inform a master of its current state. The first 6 bytes contain the information specified by the
standard e.g. status of the state machine, correct/incorrect parameterisation and configuration.
Additionally, there is 1 byte of user diagnostics, which is used to show the state of the VA for the
valves. By monitoring the first bit of the user diagnostics byte the presence of the valve power
can be determined.

8.2.7 Profibus DP commissioning
Due to the increasing number of compatible master controllers it would be impractical to create
detailed instructions for commissioning the Norgren node on a particular master. All Norgren
Profibus products are conformance tested to the latest specification by an independent
authorised test site and are fully certified by the Profibus International Group. As a result, the
help guide and manual supplied with the users chosen PLC should be used during the
commissioning stages of each Norgren node.

8.2.8 GSD file
A GSD file is used to identify a Profibus DP/PA device (master or slave). It contains data
making it possible to have manufacturer independent configuration tools. Typical information in
a GSD file is vendor information, baud rates supported, timing information, options/features
supported and available I/O signals. A GSD file must be available for every DP/PA slave. This is
installed into the PLC configuration software loaded into the products catalogue, in the
additional field devices section.
8.2.9 Profibus DP valve island expansion
The modular design of the VS18/VS26 valve island allows easy modifications to the number of
valves while in the field. The system allows single station expansion for up to 4 valve stations.
For more information please refer to section
The VS18/VS26 Profibus DP valve islands may have to be reconfigured after expansion to
accept the new number of valves. This is controlled by the DIP switch on the Fieldbus PCB (see
section
8.2.4).

8.3.3 DeviceNet address and baud rate setting
The VS18/VS26 DeviceNet valve island address can be set within the range 0 to 63, set by
using the address selector switches accessible by removing the securing screw and lifting the
hinged cover of the address switches. The two rotary switches allow an address range of 0 to
63. The valve island needs a power reset to accept a new address. When position 64 is
selected the address may be set through software via a capable DeviceNet master.
Default address = 63

8.3.7 DeviceNet EDS files and commissioning
The electronic data sheet (EDS) library is a collection of EDS files that can be registered with
RSNetWorx for Allen Bradley PLC’s and Compbus/D configurator for Omron PLC’s.
The EDS files, which are provided by Norgren and other manufacturers, contain configuration
and identification information for the devices. RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software can access
only those devices that have been registered. You must use the EDS Wizard within RS Networx
for registering EDS files for unknown devices, or if you have updated EDS files to install. To
install a new EDS file to your PLC please refer to the PLC manufacturers instruction manual or
online help.
Although you receive a large number of electronic data sheet (EDS) files with the configuration
software for DeviceNet, there may be a time when you need to acquire other manufactures EDS
files from the ODVA www.odva.org (Open DeviceNet Vendor’s Association) web site.
The DeviceNet node commissioning tool lets you commission, that is, set the node address and
the baud rate parameters of, devices that are either connected to a DeviceNet network, or via a
point-to-point connection.
Before you can add any node to a live DeviceNet network, it must be commissioned. This
means that a node address and a baud rate must be programmed into the device. All Norgren
VS18/VS26 nodes are preset with a node address, which is usually set to 63, unless otherwise
stated by the user in the valve island configuration. These preset values will need to be
changed to meet your application needs. Once a device has been commissioned and attached
to a network, you can use the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet node commissioning tool to edit the
node address that was set previously. Some devices do not permit software setting of the node
address or baud rate. Refer to the device documentation for specific information.
Tip
For example, if two of the devices on your network are a photoelectric sensor and a hand
controller and you accidentally change the node address of the hand controller to be the same
as that of the photoelectric sensor, then the hand controller will no longer have a unique
address. This means that it will not be able to communicate on the network. If you cannot
access a device because you have used its node address for another device, you will have to
remove it from the network, re-commission it and then reinstall it on the network.

8.4.3 CANopen address and baud rate setting
The VS18/VS26 CANopen valve island address can be set within the range 0 to 99 (rotary
switch) resp. 127 (software). To set the address, use the selector switches accessible by
removing the securing screw and lifting the hinged cover of the address switches. The two
rotary switches allow an address range of 1 to 99. The valve island needs a power reset to
accept a new address. When position 0 is selected on both switches the address may be set
through software via a capable master.
Default address = 127
Changing the address of the node via software:
Using a CANopen configuration tool connected to the network, the address of each node maybe
changed by the following method:
Send an SDO Telegram command to the node at SDO index 2100h containing the new node
address, valid range 1-127. View example of SDO message below
Description SDO Index Sub Index Value
EEPROM node address 2100h 0 1 – 127
The Norgren CANopen node also supports the layer setting service (LSS). The following
configuration services are available
The VS18/VS26 CANopen slave has a diagnostic attribute to inform a master of its current
state. With this attribute it is possible to monitor the state of the +24V valve power. This can be
achieved by using the CANopen SDO Object Dictionary: Index 0x2102, Sub_Index0. This
message will return 1 byte of read only data, with value 0x01 indicating that the valve power is
present or 0x00 indicating that the valve power is not present.

8.6.11 AS-Interface commissioning
Due to the increasing number of compatible ASi 2.11 master controllers it would be impractical
to create detailed instructions for commissioning the Norgren node on a particular master. All
Norgren AS-Interface products are conformance tested to the latest specification by an
independent authorised test site and are fully certified by the AS-Interface international group.
Because of this, the help guide and manual supplied with the users chosen PLC should be used
during the commissioning stages of each Norgren node.
8.6.12 AS-Interface valve island expansion
The modular design of the VS18/VS26 valve islands allows easy modifications to the number of
valves while in the field. The AS-Interface system allows a single station expansion according to
the indicated configurations (see section
section
The VS18/VS26 AS-Interface valve islands may have to be reconfigured after expansion to
accept the new number of valves and correct allocation of the output bits. This is controlled by
the DIP switch on the Fieldbus PCB (see section
9.
8.6.5 and 8.6.7). Fore more information please refer to
8.6.4 and 8.6.6).

8.7 FD67 BUS
The FD67 bus system combines the decentralized signals of the I/O level and provides this
information to the Fieldbus network (Profibus DP, DeviceNet or CANopen).
The central unit is the bus node, which interconnects the VS18/VS26 FD67 valve islands and/or
the FD67 bus modules and the standard Fieldbus (Profibus DP, DeviceNet or CANopen).
The bus node has four connections for the internal FD67 system connection so it is possible to
connect up to 16 VS18/VS26 valve islands or I/O modules to one bus node.
Communication system: shielded hybrid line for:
- communication between bus node and I/O modules
- transfer of sensor supply
- transfer of actuator supply

9 VALVE ISLAND EXPANSION
9.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
A configured Multipole or Fieldbus valve island is single step expandable up to a maximum of 4
additional valve stations. Confirm your valve island has not used any additional stations before
proceeding.
• In case of even number of stations, the valve island is expandable up to 4 additional valve
stations.
• In case of odd number of stations, the valve island is expandable up to 3 additional valve
stations because the last sub-base is a single additional station.
• The maximum number of valve stations is 16 (32 solenoids).
Note:
• When changing number of valve stations of a valve island, the part number on the label will
no longer correspond to the configuration. If you order the valve island based on the
Norgren part number, the original configuration will be delivered.
• If more than 4 additional valve stations are required to be added to the main PCB, the main
PCB must be changed.
• Fieldbus valve islands may have to be reconfigured after expansion. Please refer to the
specific information for each Fieldbus protocol in section
• For expansion of an AS-Interface valve island, please refer to section
• Please notice the position of blanking discs (multi pressure) before you expand a valve
island(see section
• Fieldbus valve islands contain electronic devices, which could be damaged through
electrostatic discharge. Therefore electrostatic precautions must be taken. Specifically, the
person assembling or configuring the valve island must be connected to an earth ground.
To expand the VS18/VS26 valve island, expansion sets (A) are available. The set includes:
• 1 single station modular sub-base (C)
• 1 gasket (D)
