The AMF RVM mini cables are the dedicated power and communication cables you need to connect your RVM mini compact rotary valve to a power supply, a controller, or a computer.
Available in three versions: USB-C cable, Pico-Lock to flying leads cable, and Pico-Lock to jack adaptor.
Each reference is sold individually. The RVM mini valve, the 24 VDC power supply, and the fittings are not included.
General
The RVM mini rotary valve is powered and controlled through two connector types: a USB-C port for direct communication with a computer, and 4-pin Pico-Lock connectors for power and for serial or I2C communication. These cables give you a ready-to-use connection for each of those interfaces, so you do not have to crimp your own harness before running your first sequence.
Depending on how you integrate the valve, you can power and control it through a single cable, or keep power and communication on separate lines. Six documented wiring scenarios cover the usual combinations, from a simple bench setup with a USB-C link to a fully embedded configuration driven over I2C or TTL I/O. Refer to the diagram below for more information.

Wiring scenarios
Six wiring scenarios are documented for the RVM mini, so you can select the cable combination that matches your integration:
- Scenario 1: power with C108 and C110 on the RS232 or I2C connector, communication in UART with C107.
- Scenario 2: power and communication in UART via RS232 with C109.
- Scenario 3: power with C108 and C110 on the I2C connector, communication in UART via RS232 with C109.
- Scenario 4: power and communication in I2C with C109.
- Scenario 5: power with C108 and C110 on the RS232 connector, communication in I2C with C109.
- Scenario 6: power with C108 and C110 on the RS232 connector, communication in TTL on the I/O connector with C109.
Refer to the accessories and wiring scenarios document in the Documentation tab for the complete connection diagrams of your valve.
