Field level
Pneumatics, electrics & networking
– reflecting the years of experience of
this market and technological leader in
the area of valve terminals. The chal
lenge facing the market now and in the
future is to produce reliable pneumatic
and electrical products that offer all
forms of industrial communication. Festo
is rising to this challenge with its
portfolio by providing:
Centralised installation
Decentralised installation
Upstream installation
Hybrid installation – only at Festo will
you find such a comprehensive mix of
centralised and decentralised installa
tion options
Impressive electrical and pneumatic
concepts
Maximum process reliability is the result
of having the best possible interplay
between individual components. This is
why Festo offers everything from one
source: extensive and impressive elec
trical and pneumatic concepts for a tech
nically optimal solution at an econom
ical price based on the concept of price
follows function.
Everything from a single source
From controllers through pneumatic,
electrical and networking components to
grippers or vacuum products. Basic and
specialist training courses on the topic
of valve terminals complete the offer.

Valves and valve terminals
Valve terminals from Festo – the build
ing blocks of modern automation tech
nology
Over 20 years of experience as an in
ventor of valve terminals (experience
with 30 fieldbus protocols and Ether
Net)
Suitable for a wide range of tasks
E-Plan macro library for chosen valve
terminals
Pneumatic and electrical function in
tegration in field devices,
e.g.
– Soft-start valve
– Valves for safety functions
– Vacuum generator
– Preprocessing for decentralised,
stand-alone subsystems or as remote
controller on fieldbus/Ethernet
– Safety modules
– Controller for servopneumatic axis
systems
– Multi-axis controller for electrical
drive technology
– Diagnostics
– Web monitor
– etc.
Focus on the automotive industry
Standard pneumatics to ISO 15407-1
and 2 as well as ISO 5599-1 and 2
5 valve sizes: ISO 02, 01, 1, 2 and 3
(width 18, 26, 42, 52 and 65 mm)
1 valve terminal platform: the 5 valve
sizes can be combined together as re
quired – no adapters or cables re
quired
High flow rate: up to 4,500 l/min with
ISO size 3 (65 mm) and up to 30%
higher flow rate than the standard for
VTSA-F
Complete range for vertical stacking
with regulators, restrictors and pres
sure gauges
Metal valve terminal: flame-retardant,
resistant to welding spatter
Function integration
Preprocessing for decentralised,
stand-alone subsystems or as remote
controller on fieldbus/Ethernet. Use at
manual workstations, on mechatronic
function units such as adaptive robot
grippers, handling systems, etc.
PROFIenergy enables actuators that
are not being used to be switched off
during breaks in operation
PROFIenergy uses proven communica
tion mechanisms from PROFINET
(pause command)
PROFIenergy is easy to configure and
does not require any special program
ming
Safety with integrated safety functions
such as soft-start valve and 5/2-way
safety valve
Controllers for actuation of servopneu
matic welding guns
