I'm reviewing a Spanish translation in to English. The Spanish source is:
La frecuencia del sistema de cambio de paso es de 0,2 Hz, lo que permite una optimización del ángulo en cada revolución del rotor, con un giro máximo de 10° por revolución. Su funcionamiento es controlado por el PLC a través del armario eléctrico AA8001 y sus conexiones con los bloques de válvulas de cada cilindro de cambio de paso.
For "bloques de válvulas" the translator has used "manifold blocks", which seems OK to me but I want other opinions.
Should it be something else, such as the more literal "valve blocks" ?
Thanks for your inputs! Answers in either Spanish or English are welcome.

valve block(s)
Yes, you are right.
The valve blocks are assembled by experienced hydraulic fitters and tested on test stands before being packed and delivered.The test results are documented, and each valve block is marked with a unique serial number.

As an alternative, I think "valve assembly" could be used.
I'm not really sure "block" is the best word choice here.
I hope you have some schematics that show what these "bloques" are.
When it come to machines, both "set" and "assembly" seem to be common options for "bloques."
