The phrase refers to the process of directly controlling a Festo VSVA-B-M52-MZ-A1-1C1-APP valve terminal through its manual override capabilities. This involves bypassing the automated control system and engaging the valve functions using physical buttons or switches located on the device. For example, during system maintenance or troubleshooting, an operator might utilize the manual operation to actuate a specific valve to isolate a section of the pneumatic circuit.
Manual operation provides a crucial safety net and diagnostic tool. It allows for immediate response in situations where the programmed control system is unavailable or malfunctioning. Historically, manual overrides have been a standard feature in industrial automation, ensuring continued operation and preventing potential hazards. Its implementation offers reliability and flexibility, enabling operators to maintain control even under unforeseen circumstances.
