Big trend: function integration on valve terminals

Function integration means increased productivity and reduced installation

  • Electrical components: up to 512 digital/analogue I/O, temperature and pressure sensors
  • Pneumatics: up to 128 valves
  • Proportional pneumatics: up to eight pressure regulators on the bus
  • Servopneumatics: positioning and soft stop for up to eight axes
  • Motion control: electrical drives, synchronous/asynchronous/2.5 D interpolation
  • Safety engineering: press valves, special valves and start-up pressurisation
 

More than 20 fieldbus and Ethernet protocols:

PROFIBUS and PROFINET

DeviceNet and Ethernet/IP

CANopen, Modbus TCP and EtherCAT

AS-interface

Simple diagnostics and visualisation

e.g. via FDT/DTM (Profibus)
or OPC server (Ethernet)

Electrical function integration with Festo valve terminals

Electrical function integration

20 years of experience in developing IP65 remote I/O have paid off with the totally modular electrical peripheral equipment CPX

 The latest new products:

 

  • Integrated controller CPX-CEC, CoDeSys-capable
  • CoDeSys Softmotion library for 2.5D motion control
  • Library for diagnostics close to the pneumatic system, with OPC server (Ethernet)
  • Various safety functions and multiple voltage zones for individual pneumatic and electrical emergency shut-off concepts
  • Profisafe shut-off module for electrical outputs and valves
  • 16-bit analogue module with various signal levels and parameter options
  • Three-pin terminal module 16DI and 8DI8DO, optimised for control cabinets
  • Hood for valve terminals CPX/MPA in variable lengths, e.g. for impact protection in the ATEX zone

 

Valve terminals from Festo provide excellent electrical function integration and are thus always more than simple remote I/O systems.
