Abstract:
A manifold valve having a position detecting function and comprising a solenoid valve for controlling pressure fluid and a manifold base for supplying said pressure fluid and power to said solenoid valve,wherein said solenoid valve includes a casing having a mounting face for mounting said solenoid valve onto said manifold base, a valve member for controlling fluid and provided in said casing, solenoid-type driving means for driving said valve member, a magnet for detecting a position and provided to move in synchronization with said valve member, and a depression in which a sensor is to be mounted and which is provided to said mounting face of said casing so as to correspond to said magnet and said manifold base includes a placing face on which said solenoid valve is placed, a first plug to be connected to a controller for controlling said solenoid valve, at least one magnetometric sensor disposed in a position on said placing face corresponding to said depression so as to project from said placing face toward said solenoid valve and fitted in said depression when said solenoid valve is placed on said placing face, and continuity means for making said magnetometric sensor and said first plug electrically continuous with each other.
