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.

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.

With real-time capability, short bus cycles and speeds that are twice as fast as current Ethernet-based networks, the CPX-AP-I is ideal for fast production processes and high-speed data transfer. The sturdy, compact and ultra-lightweight remote I/O is compatible with all host systems commonly found on the market. With up to 80 modules, it can be flexibly integrated into applications of any scale and is optimally suited for those applications where low weight and minimal installation space are called for, whether in handling and tool changing systems or in mobile applications, for example at the robot front end. Thanks to cable lengths of up to 50 m between the individual modules, CPX-AP-I is also the first choice in systems and intralogistics where large distances matter.

The CPX-E as remote I/O in IP20 is a cost-effective and compact alternative in many universal applications and offers advantages wherever plants are widely branched. Modules with specific approvals (NE21 and IECEx) are available for process automation applications. Integration is also very simple - you can quickly and easily integrate the remote system into existing host systems via several available bus modules.
