The valve terminal VTOC with interlock (type VTOC-PT-L) is
used exclusively for control of pneumatic actuators within the
limits of the technical data and is intended for installation in
machines and automation systems.
The VTOC-PT-L is intended for use in an industrial environ-
The target group of this description consists of trained spe-
cialists in control and automation technology who have ex-
perience with the installation of valve terminals.

Danger of injury through uncontrolled movements of con-
Make sure that electrical and pneumatic equipment are in
a de-energised and pressureless status.
Before working on the pneumatics:
• Switch off the compressed air supply
• Vent the valve terminal
Before working on the electrical components, e.g. before
installation or maintenance work:
• Switch off the power supply
In this way, you can avoid:
– uncontrolled movements of loose tubing
– accidental and uncontrolled movements of the
– undefined switching states of the electronics
Note. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Installation and commissioning should only be carried out
by qualified personnel in accordance with this brief de-
scription. Commission a valve terminal only if it has been
completely mounted and wired! Employ the valve terminal
VTOC-PT-L only in conformity with protection class IP40.

2 Display and connecting elements of the electronics
The following electrical connection and display components
can be found on the VTOC-PT-L:
1 Earthing screw (Torx, T20) for connection to functional
2 Interlock D-Sub connection
3 Status-LED I-Port communication
4 I-Port/IO-Link connection (plug, 5-pin, M12, A-coded)

Connect the VTOC-PT-L to functional earth via the earth
1in the figure in section 2). In this way, you
will avoid malfunctions from electromagnetic interference.
The VTOC-PT-L can be connected as follows via the I-Port
– directly to the fieldbus by mounting a CTEU bus node on
– decentralised to an external I-Port-compatible device
through a connecting cable.
– to a CPX terminal through a connecting cable and a CTEL
master module ( CTEL system description).

• Use for the electrical power supply only PELV circuits in
accordance with IEC/EN 60204-1 (Protective Extra-Low
• Observe also the general requirements for PELV circuits
in accordance with IEC/EN 60204-1.
• Use only voltage sources that ensure a reliable electric
separation of operating voltage in accordance with IEC/
• Always connect both circuits for operating and load
Through the use of PELV circuits, protection against electric
shock (protection against direct and indirect contact) is en-
sured in accordance with IEC/EN 60204-1.

1) 5-pin M12x1 plug, A-coded
2) The connection to functional earth must also be ensured via the
earthing screw of the valve terminal (see chap. 2).1
The VTOC-PT-L can also be operated as an IO-Link device. You
can download the IODD configuration file required for this at

If an IO-Link Master is used, the load voltage must
normally be made available through a T-plug.
For applications that do not require control of the solenoid
coils via interlock, the interlock D-sub connection can be
bridged with a special D-sub socket (type NEFF-S1G44LB). All
solenoid coils are then supplied with load voltage through

– In the D-sub socket of type NEFF-S1G44LB, the load
voltage sockets (24 V) are bridged with the sockets (V+).
– The D-sub socket of type NEFF-S1G44LB cannot be used
as a multi-pin plug socket.
With the VTOC-IL, you can actuate up to 48 solenoid coils.

11 Malfunction and error handling
Malfunctions and statuses from connected I-Port devices are
transmitted in the form of event codes through the bus node
to the Fieldbus Master and output there and stored, if neces-
sary. In the diagnostics case, a 2-byte-long event code is
transferred to the I-Port or IO-Link master.

on. If the error is still present, the device is
defective and needs to be replaced.

node or, for IO-Link, through a separate feed. Separate fuses are
required for operating and load voltage.

environment. When used outside an industrial environment, e.g.
in commercial and mixed residential areas, measures for radio
interference suppression may be necessary.
