Smart Solenoid Valve Diagnostic Connector – IO-Link Form B

Description

Upgrade any DIN43650 Form B solenoid valve to a smart monitored valve with cycle counting, temperature monitoring and predictive maintenance diagnostics.

Smart Solenoid Valve Monitoring & Diagnostics

The Nass Magnet SmartConnector converts standard DIN43650 Form B solenoid valves into intelligent monitored devices.

Using IO-Link communication, the module enables predictive maintenance by monitoring coil current, switching cycles, temperature and valve behaviour. These diagnostics help identify failing valves before they cause machine downtime.

Ideal for Industry 4.0 automation systems, the SmartConnector enables remote monitoring, configuration and diagnostic reporting without replacing the solenoid valve.

Smart Connector Form B – Class A

Model: 612-202-0357

Advanced IO-Link Valve Driver with Integrated Diagnostics, Timer Modes & RGB LED

Smart Monitoring Functions

Smart Valve Control with IO-Link

• Seamless integration into IIoT and Industry 4.0 environments via IO-Link V1.1.3
• Enables real-time monitoring and remote configuration
• Supports predictive maintenance through internal counters and diagnostics

Built-in Timer Modes

The SmartConnector can operate independently using built-in timers — no PLC required.

Modes include:

• On-Off / Off-On timers
• On Delay / Off Delay

Fully adjustable on/off times from 1 to 65,535 seconds.

Advanced Diagnostics & Safety

Detects electrical and operational faults including:

• Short circuits
• Open circuits
• Current overloads
• Over-voltage / under-voltage conditions
• Overheating

Includes diagnostic bits and event logging for efficient troubleshooting and maintenance planning.

Customisable RGB Status LED

7-colour LED status indicator provides visual feedback for:

• ON / OFF / Alert status
• Communication activity
• “Find-Me” function for easy device identification during maintenance

LED colours include:

Off, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Magenta, Yellow and White.

Live Monitoring

Continuously measures and reports:

• Voltage
• Current
• Power consumption
• Coil resistance
• Temperature
• Switching time
• Switching cycle counts

This data enables advanced solenoid valve monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Flexible Operating Modes

• IO-Link controlled mode
• Always-ON mode
• Fully functional without IO-Link in timer or static modes
