Ensemble de soupapes, comportant un corps porte-soupapes (3) d'une seule pièce en forme de barrette sur lequel plusieurs unités de soupape (8) sont montées côte à côte dans la direction longitudinale (4) du corps porte-soupapes (3), lesquelles comportent chacune une soupape (12) et au moins un entraínement de soupape (13) à actionnement électrique, dans lequel les soupapes (12) sont reliées à des canaux pour fluide (16) s'étendant dans le corps porte-soupapes (3) et les entraínements de soupape (13) sont mis en contact électrique, par des moyens de contact à enfichage (19) qui leur sont associés, avec des moyens de branchement électrique (22) fixés par rapport au corps porte-soupapes (3), lesquels sont en liaison avec des conducteurs électriques menant plus loin, servant à la transmission de signaux de commande, dans lequel à chaque soupape (12) est associé son propre module de branchement (23) comportant les moyens de branchement électrique (22) correspondants, dans lequel les modules de branchement (23) de toutes les soupapes (12) sont juxtaposés les uns derrière les autres sans liaison électrique réciproque sur le plan de la technique des signaux, dans la direction longitudinale (4) du corps porte-soupapes (3), sur ou dans un rail de retenue (5) s'étendant dans la direction longitudinale (4) du porte-soupapes (3), et sont ainsi fixés individuellement sur le corps porte-soupapes (3), dans lequel le rail de retenue (5) contient une découpe (29) réalisée à la manière d'une rainure, s'étendant dans la direction longitudinale (4) du corps porte-soupapes (3), dans laquelle sont insérés au moins en partie les modules de branchement (23), et dans lequel les conducteurs électriques menant plus loin sont réalisés comme fils conducteurs (24) qui sont guidés, à bord de l'ensemble de soupapes (1), vers un dispositif central à interface (25) à partir duquel une liaison électrique est possible en particulier avec un dispositif électronique de commande externe, caractérisé en ce qu'une ouverture (32) côté longitudinal de la découpe (29) est tournée vers les entraínements de soupape (13), et les modules de branchement (23) ferment la découpe (29) sur le côté longitudinal, à la manière d'un couvercle, les fils conducteurs flexibles (24) étant posés dans la découpe (29) et recouverts par les modules de branchement (23), et les modules de branchement (23) occupant uniquement la zone supérieure, associée à l'ouverture (32) côté longitudinal, de la découpe (29), ce qui fait qu'entre ceux-ci et la surface de base (34) de la découpe (29), opposée à l'ouverture (32) côté longitudinal, il reste un espace libre.
  2. Ensemble de soupapes selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que chaque module de branchement (23) comporte un corps de base (27) constitué en une matière synthétique, qui est équipé des moyens de branchement électrique (22).
  3. Ensemble de soupapes selon la revendication 2, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de branchement électrique (22) font partie intégrante d'un connecteur (28) fixé de manière séparable au corps de base (27).
  4. Ensemble de soupapes selon la revendication 2 ou 3, caractérisé en ce que les corps de base (27) sont réalisés en tant que composants facilement séparables les uns des autres d'une ligne de corps de base.
  5. Ensemble de soupapes selon l'une des revendications 1 à 4, caractérisé en ce que tous les modules de branchement (23) sont réalisés comme composants individuels séparés.
  6. Ensemble de soupapes selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif central à interface (25) contient une unité électronique de commande et/ou une unité à bus de champ.
  7. Ensemble de soupapes selon l'une des revendications 1 à 6, caractérisé en ce que le rail de retenue (5) est réalisé comme partie intégrante du corps porte-soupapes (3).
  8. Ensemble de soupapes selon la revendication 7, caractérisé en ce que le rail de retenue (5) comporte au moins une rainure d'ancrage (35) s'étendant dans la direction longitudinale (4) du corps porte-soupapes (3), dans laquelle les modules de branchement (23) peuvent s'engager par une partie d'ancrage (36).
  9. Ensemble de soupapes selon l'une des revendications 1 à 8, caractérisé en ce que la rangée de modules de branchement (23) est fixée entre des embouts (41) insérés dans la découpe (29).
  10. Ensemble de soupapes selon l'une des revendications 1 à 9, caractérisé en ce que les modules de branchement (23) peuvent être fixés sur le corps porte-soupapes (3), par montage par introduction s'effectuant depuis un côté frontal du corps porte-soupapes (3).
  11. Ensemble de soupapes selon l'une des revendications 1 à 10, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif central à interface (25) est fixé sur le rail de retenue (5) de la même manière que les modules de branchement (23).
  12. Ensemble de soupapes selon l'une des revendications 1 à 11, caractérisé en ce que le corps porte-soupapes (3) est un corps extrudé ou un corps moulé par injection.
