A method of installing and a valve arrangement having a valve unit, such a valve unit having a valve section and an input section arranged on the valve section. The valve section contains at least one electrically actuable directional valve, which is assigned an input module of the input section, that is equipped with plug-in connectors for the connection of sensor plugs. The input module can be installed in a use position on a connector carrier of the input section, so that the sensor plugs through the connector carrier are connected to an internal communication structure suitable for the transmission of sensor signals.

Valve arrangement and method for installing a valve arrangement

Valve for controlling fluid flows, including a valve housing with a valve bore, in which fluid channels extend from the valve bore to an outer surface of the valve housing, including a first valve member and a second valve member, which are each accommodated linearly moveably in the valve bore. Both the first valve member and the second valve member include a first radial sealing element, which respectively bear in a radially inwardly sealing manner against the first valve member or against the second valve member and in a radially outwardly sealing manner against an inner surface of the valve recess. Each of the first valve member and the second valve member selectively releases and blocks at least one connection between adjacently arranged fluid channels, in which the first valve member is slidably mounted on the second valve member along an axis of movement relative to the second valve member.

Valve for controlling fluid flow

A series module for a modular designed control arrangement includes a first series interface and a first bus interface and a second series interface and a second bus interface, wherein a bus communication line is formed between the two bus interfaces and multiple connecting lines are formed between the two series interfaces and wherein the connecting lines are arranged at least partially Z-linked between the two series interfaces.

Series module, connection module and modular designed control arrangement

A modular control device () is proposed, containing a support module arrangement () equipped with a control module arrangement (). Additionally provided information-carrying modules () make it possible to make information regarding the control modules () available. They respectively contain a fastening section () fixed in place on the support module arrangement () and an information-carrying section (), which is pivotably seated on hinge means (). The information-carrying section is embodied in an L-shape and can be selectively positioned in a working position, in which it extends over the control module arrangement (), or in a release position, in which it makes the control module arrangement () accessible.
