From Fortune 500 enterprises to innovative startups, leading companies choose Marvo for reliable automation and control components.
"Excellent service partially from Mark who stayed late to ensure the part arrived with me same day as this was a critical part for me even though this was my first time using Marvo. I will defiantly be using again."
The Pepperl + Fuchs VAA-4EA-KF-ZE/R is a high-performance interface sensor module that forms part of the VAA series, designed to facilitate seamless integration into AS-Interface systems. This module is equipped with four inputs (PNP) and four relay outputs, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of industrial automation applications.
Crafted with precision, the module boasts a compact housing that includes removable, coded terminals for straightforward installation and maintenance. The unit's slim 40 mm profile ensures it occupies minimal space within a control cabinet, allowing for efficient use of space.
The VAA-4EA-KF-ZE/R operates within a voltage range of 26.5 to 31.6 V and maintains an operating current of ≤110 mA. It features a robust design that can handle relay output loads up to 8 A per module, providing reliable performance even in demanding environments.
For ease of use, the module includes a Power Rail connection for AS-Interface communication and a dedicated addressing jack for device configuration. The module's functionality is further enhanced by its communication monitoring capabilities, which ensure safety by turning off outputs in the event of a communication interruption.
The interface sensor module is also equipped with LED indicators for bus, inputs, and outputs, offering at-a-glance diagnostic information to users. These indicators help in quick troubleshooting and monitoring of the system's operational status.
Designed to meet the requirements of modern industrial settings, the Pepperl + Fuchs VAA-4EA-KF-ZE/R module is a reliable and efficient choice for those seeking to optimise their automation systems with high-quality interface sensors.

Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
