The Pepperl + Fuchs VBA-4E2A-G1-ZE/P-S is a state-of-the-art AS-Interface pneumatic module designed to streamline and enhance the control of pneumatic drives within industrial automation systems. This module boasts four inputs for 2- or 3-wire sensors and two pneumatic outputs, each with a high air throughput rate, facilitating the direct control of pneumatic cylinders in the field.
Crafted for versatility, the module can be connected using either flat or round cables through a standardized EMS base, which is not included with the module. The innovative cable piercing method for flat cable connections ensures a secure and reliable installation. The inputs are designed to accommodate both 2- and 3-wire sensors, providing flexibility for various sensor types.
The VBA-4E2A-G1-ZE/P-S module is equipped with a function display for bus, inputs, and outputs, allowing for easy monitoring and diagnostics. The pneumatic outputs are integrated with two separate 3/2-way valves, ensuring efficient control of the connected pneumatic devices.
With a robust design, the module is enclosed in a Pocan housing and offers an IP65 degree of protection, making it suitable for challenging industrial environments. The module can be mounted on a DIN rail or directly onto a surface, providing flexibility for different installation requirements.
The module operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of working conditions. It is designed to comply with the AS-Interface specification V3.0 and requires a master specification of V2.1 or higher.
The Pepperl + Fuchs VBA-4E2A-G1-ZE/P-S pneumatic module is an essential component for any industrial automation system requiring precise and efficient control of pneumatic operations. Its advanced features and robust construction make it a valuable addition to a wide range of industrial applications.

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
