Solenoid valve loses power and switches valve problem
Thread Content
When the solenoid valve loses power, can the valve be switched on and off manually?
Some solenoid valves have a switching knob, which allows you to switch the air path when power is lost. I have used SMC's 2-position 5-way solenoid valve with such a function, but not all solenoid valves have this function.
Some solenoid valves have this function, it depends on how you choose.
Choose a solenoid valve with a reset function, or make a logic in the interlock design to realize this function.
Most solenoid valves come with manual control, which can be used to control the solenoid valve's switch when the solenoid valve loses power.
Choose a solenoid valve with field reset
Solenoid valves generally have a manual switching knob, which allows you to switch the air path of the solenoid valve on site in the event of power loss.
Most solenoid valves have manual control, and the two positions 0 and 1 are manual and automatic switching.
Most solenoid valves come with manual control, which can be used to control the solenoid valve's switch when the solenoid valve loses power.
Just choose one with manual control
General solenoid valves have this function, but they must have an air source.
This depends on the solenoid valve manufacturer's selection sample. Some models have it, and some don't.
Generally this is not possible. Unless the solenoid valve is designed to be de-energized normally, it is generally not designed this way.
Most solenoid valves have manual control. The 0 and 1 positions are manually switched. In fact, there is a piston inside that is reciprocating.
When purchasing, you need to confirm with the supplier or manufacturer whether it is manual. However, if the solenoid valve is used in a SIS system, manual operation is not allowed.
