(57) A pneumatic valve bank comprising several fluid manifold elements (1a to 1f) arranged
to one another in order to form at least one common inner supply channel (3) and at
least one common inner exhaust channel (4a, 4b) extending lengthwise through the fluid
manifold elements (1a to 1f) for supplying and discharging air to/from respective
multiway valves, which are attached on respective mounting surfaces (5) of the fluid
manifold elements (1a to 1f), wherein each fluid manifold element (1a to 1f) comprises
an electronic channel (6) parallely arranged to the at least one supply channel (3)
and the at least one exhaust channel (4a, 4b) for accommodating electrical adaptor
means for connecting each multiway valve with a central control unit,
wherein said electrical adaptor means comprise at least one printed circuit board
(12) held by a pair of guiding rails (16) inside the electronic channel (6), wherein
at least one projecting part (13a; 13b) on the edge section (14a; 14b) of the printed
circuit board (12) corresponds with a recess (15) arranged in the respective guiding
rail (16) between neighbouring fluid manifold elements (1a, 1b; 1b, 1c; 1c, 1d; 1d,
1f) for axially fixing the printed circuit board (12) in the electronic channel (6).
