BURKERT 20025930 (Type 8652) AirLINE is a 16-slot modular valve island featuring PROFIBUS DPV1 communication, AirLINE Quick aluminium plate, HotSwap capability, and integrated SIA safety shutdown.

BURKERT 20025930 (Type 8652 AirLINE) is a 16-station modular valve island engineered for process automation environments. Configured as a high-density pneumatic automation node, this assembly integrates 16 valve slots accommodating 32 total valve pilot functions, 32 digital inputs across four 8DI electronic modules, and an integrated central pneumatic intermediate feed module. Fieldbus connectivity is established through a dedicated ME43 PROFIBUS DPV1 communication interface with a 9-pin Sub-D socket, providing cyclic process command exchange as well as clear-text and symbolic diagnostic alarms readable directly via an on-board LC display or transmitting to the higher-level PLC.
Process safety and system availability are central to the 20025930 configuration. The first 13 valve slots are populated with Type 6534 dual 3/2-way normally closed valves (CF-C) with manual override, while positions 14 through 16 are equipped with Type 6534 SIA variants designed for safety-related hardware shutdown via external potential-free contacts. Integrated check valves in exhaust air ducts 3 (R) and 5 (S) prevent back-pressure surges from causing unintended process valve movements. In addition, pneumatic HotSwap capability in supply channel 1 (P) permits valve replacement under full line pressure without interrupting adjacent operating loops.

The 8652 architecture combines pneumatic base modules, electrical backplane slices, electronic I/O modules, and the main fieldbus gateway into a unified rail-mountable structure.

The Type 6534 pilot valves mounted on the island provide high-speed servo-assisted switching:
Valve positions 14, 15, and 16 on article 20025930 are fitted with Type 6534 SIA valves. These valves feature dedicated, physically separate connection terminals allowing external hardware interlocks to cut valve coil power independently of the bus master communications.

| Feature | SIA Technical Specification |
|---|---|
| Valve SIA Terminal Type | Pluggable, coded 2-pin screw terminals ($0.14\text{ to }1.5\text{ mm}^2$, AWG 28–16) |
| Module Shutdown Terminal | Pluggable spring-loaded terminal strip, 12-pin ($0.14\text{ to }1.5\text{ mm}^2$, AWG 26–16) |
| Switching Capacity | 0.5 A / 24 V DC (individual valve); 1.5 A / 24 V DC (module shutdown) |
| Factory Delivery State | Bridged with factory jumper clips for direct commissioning without SIA |
| Control Contact Requirement | External potential-free dry contact (safety relay or mechanical switch) |
Safety Terminal Preparation
Before wiring an external safety shut-off contact to the SIA terminals, the yellow coded jumper clips pre-installed at delivery must be removed. Connecting voltage to these potential-free inputs will damage the shutdown circuitry.
| Terminal | Wire Color | Assignment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Red | +24 V DC (electronics power) |
| 2 | White | CAN_H (internal büS connection) |
| 3 | Green | Shielding (PE) |
| 4 | Blue | CAN_L (internal büS connection) |
| 5 | Black | 0 V DC (GND) |
| Pin | Wire Color | Assignment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Red | AUX +24 V DC (pneumatic coil load power) |
| 2 | Black | 0 V DC (GND) |
Isolated Power Supplies
The pneumatic valves must be supplied via their own dedicated 2-pin AUX 24 V power connection on the interface plate. This keeps solenoid coil load noise isolated from the sensitive display and PROFIBUS digital communications.
| Sub-D Pin | Signal Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SHIELDING | Cable shielding connection |
| 2 | M24 | Optional 24 V ground return |
| 3 | RxD / TxD-P | B-line (receive/transmit data positive) |
| 4 | CNTR-P | Control signal P (repeater direction control, optional) |
| 5 | DGND | Data ground (0 V reference for terminating resistors) |
| 6 | +5 V | +5 V DC power for active bus terminating resistors |
| 7 | +24 V | Optional +24 V DC feed |
| 8 | RxD / TxD-N | A-line (receive/transmit data negative) |
| 9 | CNTR-N | Control signal N (optional) |

When positioning the valve island on the control cabinet baseplate or cutout, observe minimum front clearance distances to permit valve module removal under operating conditions.

Maintenance Without Process Interruption
Pneumatic HotSwap enables replacement of an individual pilot valve while the manifold remains pressurized. Maintain at least the recommended front enclosure distance shown in the manual so technicians can unlock and dismount the valve body cleanly.
Type 8652 assemblies carrying explosion-proof codes PU17 or PX68 comply with European ATEX, international IECEx, North American HazLoc, and Chinese CCC Ex directives for Category 3 equipment.
