When our R&D engineers redesigned our popular SY 5 port solenoid range, they had one objective - to develop an all purpose solenoid valve range offering impressive functionality. The result is our new Series SY3000/5000. Extremely compact but with outstanding flow rate performance - up to 80% higher than our previous SY models - our new SY range can now operate faster with reduced cycle times. Designed with easy mounting and fast replacement in mind, our engineers have also designed the new SY so that both 3000 and 5000 valve sizes can be used in same manifold thereby providing greater flexibility and economical operation. Available with either rubber or unique metal seal options, the metal seals are particularly suitable for higher operating frequencies and offer extended lifetime performance.
Following the success of our EX120 Serial Interface Series we are please to confirm that we have now extended this range with the addition of some CompoNet™ protocol compliant versions. Designed for use with our popular SV1/2/3/4000, SY3/5000 and VQ1/2000 valve ranges, these new Fieldbus units ensure high speed response performance (approximately 1024 points in 1 ms) and multiple point capabilities (384 slaves per master). For ease of installation, the Series EX120/121/122 ranges can be used with either round or flat ribbon communication cables.

EX250 is a serial interface unit controlling up to 32 solenoids. This serial interface is compatible with series VQC1000/2000/4000 and SV1000/2000/3000 valves. Available protocols include DeviceNet, CC-Link, AS-i, Profibus-DP, and CANopen. Input modules can be added or removed at the point of use.
Serial interface unit EX500 is capable of controlling up to 64 solenoids, and is compatible with SV1000/2000/3000/4000, VQC1000/2000/4000 valves. The EX500 makes it possible to connect up to 4 valve manifolds with up to 16 solenoids each. Available protocols include DeviceNet, CC-Link and Profibus-DP.
With increased industry requests for smaller gateway serial interface units using less wiring and offering easier installation, development engineers from SMC, the world´s leading automation control experts, could not resist the call. The result of their endeavours can now be seen with the launch of their latest decentralised gateway type Serial Transmission System – Series EX510. Designed for use across a broad range of applications, the EX510 is ideal for processing both input and output commands from a PLC across a field bus network. Benefits of its decentralised design include a reduction of system wiring and PLC size, when compared to similar parallel type wired systems, and the fact that I/O units can be placed up to 20 metres away from the gateway unit to get even closer to the application. Compatible with CC-Link, DeviceNet and Profibus network protocols, the Series EX510 gateway unit can also accommodate up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs. Additional design features include the provision of 4 input and 4 output branches which effectively means that it's possible to connect several distributed valves and sensors including pressure, flow and auto switches to one gateway unit.Series EX510 has also been designed with ease of installation in mind, so all the units can be DIN rail mounted and include press fit connectors that don´t require the connecting wire to be stripped. Further time saving benefits can also be made as the EX510 is also available with pre-wired and mounted manifold units using SMC´s popular SY, SYJ or VQZ valve ranges.
The 5 port solenoid valves series SQ was designed for applications which demand high speed, high frequency, long life and a precise response time. The SQ series has an outstanding response time of 12ms or less for SQ1000, 20ms or less for SQ2000 and a life of 200 million cycles. A wide variety of options are available.
The SV series employs a multi-connector instead of the conventional lead wires for internal manifold wiring. By connecting each block with a connector, changes to manifold stations are greatly simplified. Cassette base type manifolds offer the ultimate in flexibility. Manifold sections can be added using a simple release mechanism. Conventional tie-rod base type manifolds are also available. The use of 34 pin connectors allows up to 16 stations with double solenoids.
Series SY offers major advances in valve performance for cost-effective solutions to your requirements. The series offers high flow with low power consumption in a compact design. The SY is available in body ported or base mounted styles and can be used individually or manifold mounted.
The SYJ Valve is an innovative combination of space efficiency and performance superiority which provides real value to the design solution. Whether designed in a manifold or used as a single valve, this small profile increases design flexibility and minimizes space requirements. The SYJ valve utilizes a low power (0.5 watts standard) pilot solenoid design, which dramatically reduces thermal heat generation. This improves performance, decreases operating costs, and allows for direct control by PLC output relays. All electrical connections for SYJ Valves are available with lights and surge suppression. SYJ series valves can be configured on base mounted manifolds, or individually on subplates, creating a variety of solutions to meet your broadest engineering needs.
Series VQZ base mount solenoid valves combine convenience with durability and performance in a more traditional mounting style. Series VQZ Body Ported Solenoid Valves combine flexibility with high performance and long life in an inline body style.
Following Electronic and Semiconductor Industry requests for a compact manifold unit with integral 3-port solenoid valves, we are pleased to launch our new Series VV100 Integrated Manifold Unit. Designed with space-saving and ease-of-use in mind, our R&D engineers have cleverly integrated two single 3-port solenoid valves into each valve station thereby reducing the unit's overall dimension. By adopting this unique feature, VV100 manifold units can now be built up to 146.4mm in length by simply changing the length of the manifold's tie rod and by adding or removing the number of plug-in (D-sub connector) or hard wired valve stations. Energy saving has also been considered as individual valves can be ordered with a power saving circuit, reducing the energy consumption from 0.4W as standard; to only 0.15W when using the continuous duty model. And as each valve can be manually turned off, safe maintenance is guaranteed. Series VV100 is suitable for both direct or bracket mounting and can also accommodate various piping sizes including our miniature 2mm one-touch fittings.
