Positive Logic (PNP) and Negative (NPN) Compatibility The increasing use of global automation components and machines can raise problems of compatibility between "PNP" and "NPN" circuit design. The Moduflex valves and islands overcome this problem as the solenoid pilots are polarity insensitive and can accept 24VDC in any orientation. Protection of Controls from Voltage Surges The voltage surge generated when a coil is de- energized is a common problem and can disrupt control circuits upstream of the valve island. To overcome this problem, the latest generations of valve islands incorporate a voltage surge suppressor with each solenoid pilot. Dependability even with Voltage Drop Electro-pneumatic automation is often integrated to machines that are subjected to voltage drop; for example, when an electrical motor is started. In order to overcome such working conditions, standard requirements state that the solenoid pilot should still operate 15% under the voltage rating; i.e., 20.4V for a 24V rating. To fulfill such a specification, the solenoid pilot power has to be sufficiently high; for example, 1W is better than 0.5W.
