Abstract:
A control system has an I/O bank with a communication module controlling a plurality of Input/Output modules operably connected to its communication backplane and a valve manifold having a communication module serially connected to the backplane of the I/O bank. The I/O bank with a plurality of Input/Output modules is constructed to be connected to a plurality of field sensors or loads. The valve manifold with a plurality of solenoid valves is constructed to be pneumatically connected to a plurality of field devices.

Claim (Index 8):
A control system comprising:\n a communication module having an I/O bank with a plurality of Input/Output modules; a valve manifold having a manifold communication module serially connected to the communication backplane of the I/O bank using the same protocol as the communication backplane for controlling a plurality of valve stations; said I/O bank with plurality of Input/Output modules constructed to be connected to a plurality of field sensors or loads; said valve manifold being constructed to be pneumatically connected to a plurality of field devices; and said I/O bank and said valve manifold being housed in a cabinet.
