Automation system CPX-AP-A

Highly flexible, lightweight and modular


The new automation system CPX-AP-A is a highly flexible, modular remote I/O system. It is real-time capable, offers a transmission speed of up to 200 Mbit full duplex and, due to its particularly robust design, is suitable for moving applications with up to 5G and is thus also ideal for robotics.

The CPX-AP-A is a fully-fledged IO-Link master V1.1 with data storage mechanism and device parameterisation tool. Up to 15 modules can be combined in one automation system. Linkages are simply connected by means of an angled screw connection. In addition, the system offers extended diagnostic and predictive maintenance information, such as valve switching clearance counters and cable quality monitoring.

Decentralised remote I/O systemCPX-AP-I

Robust, compact and ultra-lightweight


Welcome to the AP world. With the I/O system in IP65/IP67, powerful I/O modules and existing valve terminal connections can be integrated into the most important host systems.
Based on the innovative AP system communication, CPX-AP-I makes communication from the workpiece to the cloud universal - you get an efficient, open and expandable system. Predestined fields of application are, for example, assembly machines with limited installation space, handling and tool changing systems, moving applications where low weight and small installation space are required or fast manufacturing processes.

Modular control system CPX-E

Simple, variable and flexible


The automation system for factory and process automation: designed as an EtherCAT® master controller and motion controller in IP20, Festo's CPX-E offers a standardised platform for motion control of stepper motors and servo motors in smooth mixed operation. Its scalable motion control functions include linear and multi-axis movements and make the CPX-E the central control system for handling systems and smaller machines/plants.

  • Simple: intuitive programming of complex functions
  • Variable: can be used stand-alone or networked
  • Flexible: thanks to modular system design
  • Communicative: Offers standard interfaces to all common host systems
  • Versatile: Thanks to extensive module selection
  • Industry 4.0-capable: With OPC-UA and CODESYS control V3 (SP10)
