Industrial automation is constantly evolving – and with it the requirements for modern machine architectures. With its remote I/O products and innovative AP communication, Festo offers an end-to-end solution that helps companies remain competitive. The modular concept ensures maximum flexibility, optimized cost structures, and efficient integration into existing control systems.
The innovative system communication technology enables consistent and high-performance networking of automation components. For seamless integration of remote I/O systems, valve manifolds, and electric drives in real time.
Area of application: Suitable for applications that require a high degree of modularity and flexibility, especially when both electrical and pneumatic
Integration: Enables communication with higher-level controllers via Ethernet-based fieldbus modules and supports the connection of decentralized CPX-AP-I modules and other CPX-AP-A systems via AP communication.
Area of application: Ideal for applications that require robust and compact modules, for example in confined or decentralized installation environments.
Integration: Can be operated independently or integrated into a CPX-AP-A system via AP communication, creating a flexible and scalable system architecture.
The combined use of CPX-AP-A and CPX-AP-I and Festo AP communication allows automation solutions with electrical and pneumatic components to be implemented, enabling a hybrid architecture of centralized and decentralized connection. The result: increased efficiency and optimum adaptability of the entire system!
The PC-based Festo Automation Suite software combines parameterization, programming and servicing of Festo components in a single program. It enables commissioning of the entire drive package, from the mechanical units to the control system. Perfect for making industrial automation simple, efficient and seamless. You only work with one program and always have all the information and tools at hand.
