Easy tiger. It's an SMC solenoid manifold. It has a single pressure input, 4 exhausts, and 8 stations to mount the solenoids to (you can get them in 2-XXX port configurations). All of the A & B pressure ports that go to the pneumatic pistons are on the right side of it stacked on top of eachother. It saves space by using a common pressure input and common exhausts.
