G3 Series EtherNet/IP Technical ManualPage 7TDG3EPTM1-1EN 05/09Subject to change without noticewww.numatics.com/g3Manifold ConnectorsSolenoid Coil Connections using Z-Board™ technologyZ-Board™ plug together technology connects all valve solenoids to the valve coil output driver board,located in the valve adapter. The 32 available coil outputs are divided into 2 separate connector groups.Output group No. 1 is comprised of the first output word, bits 0-15, and output group No. 2 is comprisedof the second output word, bits 16-31. Output group No. 1 connects directly to the Z-Boards™ . Outputgroup No. 2 is connected to the Z-Boards™ via an internal ribbon cable or valve side Sub-D. The firstoutput (bit 0) connects to the “14” (A) solenoid on the valve closest to the communication node. The 17th– 32nd solenoids interconnect via the Z-Boards™ to output group No. 2. For the maximum capability of 32solenoids on the same manifold, the 16th and 17th solenoid coils must NOT be on the same sub-base.DOUBLE"Z-BOARD"SINGLE"Z-BOARD"DOUBLE"Z-BOARD"SINGLE"Z-BOARD"14(A) Solenoid Pin No. 1Earth Ground Pin No. 312(B) Solenoid Pin No. 2Common Pin No. 4A single solenoid valve’s coil is always on the “14” end.NOTE!Plug-in Manifold withIntergral "Z-Board"Eliminates WiringOutput GroupNo. 1Output GroupNo. 2
