Pressure regulators for pressure zone control and single pressure con-
trol do not differ in terms of the electronic control. This is why the dif-
ferences between the two AV-EP pressure regulators are not discussed
in further detail here. The pneumatic functions are described in the op-
erating instructions for AV-EP pressure regulators, which can be found
on CD R412018133.

Short bridge card
Bridge cards have the sole function of bridging the pressure supply areas. They
are therefore not taken into account during PLC configuration.
Bridge cards are available in long and short versions:
The long bridge card is always located directly on the bus coupler. It bridges the
transition plate and the first pneumatic supply plate.
The short bridge card is used to bridge additional pneumatic supply plates.
12.2.8 UA-OFF monitoring board
The UA-OFF monitoring board is an alternative to the short bridge card in the
pneumatic supply plate (see Fig. 18).
The electrical UA-OFF monitoring board monitors the actuator voltage UA for sta-
tus UA < UA-OFF. All voltages are passed through directly. The UA-OFF monitor-
ing board must therefore always be installed after an electrical supply plate to be
monitored.
In contrast to the bridge card, the UA-OFF monitoring board has to be taken into
account when configuring the control.

12.2.9 Possible combinations of base plates and cards
Valve driver boards, 4x, are always combined with two 2x base plates.
Table 15 shows the possible combinations of base plates, pneumatic supply
plates, electrical supply plates, and transition plates with various valve driver
boards, bridge cards, and supply boards.

Two base plates are linked with a valve driver board.
The boards in the AV-EP base plates are installed permanently and can
therefore not be combined with other base plates.
12.3 Identifying the modules
12.3.1 Material number for bus coupler
12
AES-D-BC-XXXX
R4120XXXXX
The bus coupler can be clearly identified using its material number. When ex-
changing the bus coupler, you can use the material number to reorder the same
unit.
The material number is printed on the name plate (12) on the back of the device
and on the top below the identification key.
12.3.2 Material number for valve system
The material number for the complete valve system (47) is printed on the right
end plate. You can use this material number to reorder an identically configured
valve system.
Note that, after a valve system conversion, the material number still refers to
u
the original configuration (see "Conversion documentation").
