Main Function Description

The REXROTH VT-VSPA2-1-20/V0/T1​ is engineered as a centralized, intelligent pneumatic control node. Its core function is to house and control up to 20 individual pneumatic valve cartridges, each acting as a switch for a compressed air line to a specific actuator. The integrated electronic controller, defined by the /T1​ option, manages all valves. It communicates with the machine’s master PLC over a high-speed industrial network (specified by the option code), receiving commands to energize or de-energize specific solenoids.
This design eliminates the need for individual valve wiring back to the main cabinet, as all valves are connected via a single fieldbus cable and a single air supply manifold. The terminal provides real-time feedback on valve status and diagnostic information (like coil faults) back to the PLC. Setup and parameterization are performed using Rexroth’s IndraWorks​ engineering software, allowing for easy configuration of valve functions and diagnostic parameters. The robust construction ensures leak-free operation and resilience in industrial environments with dust and moisture.
