BURKERT 20032526 Type 8652 AirLINE 20-Slot Valve Island, Industrial Ethernet & Stainless Steel AirLINE Quick

BURKERT 20032526 (Type 8652 AirLINE) is a 20-slot pneumatic valve island with stainless steel AirLINE Quick interface, Industrial Ethernet RJ45 fieldbus, and operating pressure from -1 to 10 bar.

BURKERT 20032526 Type 8652 AirLINE 20-Slot Valve Island, Industrial Ethernet & Stainless Steel AirLINE Quick

BURKERT 20032526 (Type 8652 AirLINE) is a preconfigured 20-slot modular valve terminal engineered specifically for process automation installations. This specific article combines an Industrial Ethernet communication interface supporting PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT, and CC-Link IE Field Basic via two RJ45 ports with a stainless steel AirLINE Quick base plate. The assembly accommodates 20 valve stations in an 11 mm slice grid, comprising 14 bistable 5/2-way valves, 3 double 3/2-way normally closed valves, 1 monostable 5/2-way valve, 2 blind covers, and 1 intermediate supply module for optimized air distribution.

Operating across a pneumatic pressure span of -1.00 bar to 10.00 bar with internal pilot air delivery between 3 bar and 10 bar, BURKERT 20032526 integrates stainless steel push-in fittings: D 3/8" on the air supply and exhaust ports and D 1/4" on the actuator working lines. An LC display on the terminal visualizes diagnostic text and standardized icons directly at the unit, while diagnostic telemetry is routed over the industrial network to the supervisory PLC. The electrical subsystem is rated for 24 V DC (±10%) and incorporates an electronic input module supplying 8 digital inputs for field sensor feedback.

Configured 20-Slot Valve Assignment ​

Article 20032526 is factory-assembled with a dedicated valve slice layout across its 20 stations. The pilot valves utilize low-wear miniature solenoid technology operating at 24 V DC with an initial nominal coil power of 0.7 W, dropping automatically to 0.175 W (10 mA) after actuation to minimize heat generation within control cabinets.

Each pneumatic slice features an individual station width of 11 mm. The integrated intermediate pneumatic feed module (1 PCE) is installed between the valve slices to deliver additional supply volume and balance exhaust backpressures across the 20-bank manifold.

AirLINE Quick Adapter and Cabinet Floor Mounting ​

Article 20032526 features the AirLINE Quick adapter system constructed from stainless steel 1.4301 (ALQ VA) with stainless steel 1.4401 push-in pneumatic connections. This mechanical interface mounts directly through a cutout in the control cabinet bottom or wall, eliminating individual panel-mount bulkhead fittings and internal cabinet pneumatic tubing.

Separate Power Supplies

The valve terminal utilizes physically separated power connections for electronics and valve actuators. Logic, communications, and LC displays are energized via a 5-pin spring-loaded terminal. Solenoid valve coils are powered through an independent 2-pin spring-loaded auxiliary terminal (AUX 24 V). This allows emergency disconnection of valve actuation power without dropping network communication or process diagnostics.
