VPPM-MPA: Proportional technology on the fieldbus

VPPM-MPA: Proportional technology on the fieldbus

VPPM-MPA enhances the CPX/MPA by adding various pneumatic and electrical functions

The benefits to you:

  • 3 presets can be selected via CPX: quick, universal, precise
  • Diagnostics on the fieldbus: all values, as well as upper and lower limits, can be remotely controlled and monitored via VPPM-MPA.
  • Individual pressure and force control on multiple actuators and processes using digitised analogue values – communicated via fieldbus/Ethernet
  • Variable MPA pressure zones: one VPPM – different pressures, can also be sequentially switched for multiple MPA connection blocks
  • Commissioning without fieldbus – via the handheld terminal CPX-MMI

 

Comprehensive diagnostic concept from Festo-

from condition monitoring and single-channel diagnostics up to integrated IT services – for up to 35% less downtime

Unscheduled machine and system downtime is expensive. Festo offers a diagnostics package for valve terminals which can detect, localise and eliminate errors – or better yet, avoid them. 

Commissioning and diagnosis without fieldbus

The ultra-user-friendly handheld terminal CPX-MMI allows CPX terminals with proportional technology to be put into service smoothly without a fieldbus. Analogue data can simply be entered and read in plain text and limit values can be parameterised. The small and compact device allows data readout, configuring and diagnosis of CPX terminals anywhere

Festo Maintenance Tool CPX-FMT

The Festo Maintenance Tool for CPX makes all the modules of a valve terminal visible without the need for programming:

  • Modify parameters easily
  • View setpoint values and actual values
  • Display error messages

 

More security: save the CPX configuration to memory
Reduce time and effort by up to 30% by saving the CPX configuration at the fieldbus node. An ideal situation if the bus system doesn’t provide adequate support for configuring and parameterising modular products.

 

Optimised performance: parameterise CPX
Cycle times and signal processing quality can be optimised by changing CPX module parameters that are easily, quickly and verifiably documented.

 

Avoid downtimes: CPX diagnostics

  • Diagnostic and status information
  • Error trace 
  • Specifications for condition monitoring
  • Condition counter for prognostic maintenance after a certain number of switching cycles

With CPX-FMT you can comprehensively manage all relevant values directly from a PC.
