Very few environments are as demanding as those on an oil rig. Materials are stressed and corrosion is promoted by water, salt and wind, as well as extreme weather fluctuation. The highly innovative Festo Motion Terminal as well as the state of the art valve terminal VTUG combined with our control cabinets offer reliable and steady solutions for automation of fingerboards under these harsh conditions.

The Motion Terminal VTEM uses the world’s first valve that has its functions controlled by apps. The intelligent technology consisting of pneumatics, sensors, electronics and software enables many motion and monitoring tasks. With the VTEM, you get your system ready for Industry 4.0.

Your formula for success: the perfect combination of motion, pressure and flow rate.

• Use, storage and transport conditions for Festo products
• Standards in pneumatics
• Compressed air preparation
• Operating conditions for valves
• Port designations of pneumatic components to ISO 5599
• Operating conditions for drives
• Pressure/force table and graphBuckling load graph
• Air consumption
• Pneumatics and explosion protection – ATEX
• EC directives/approvals
• Design – Clean room suitability
• Paint-wetting impairment substances and resistance to media
• Corrosion resistance class CRC
• Protection classes according to IEC/EN 60529
• Functional earth – protective earth – PELV
• Spark arresting

Suggestions for the future of your automation. Here you will find real-life applications that can make your company much more productive, and at the same time more energy efficient. They are examples of the variety of reely combinable motions that are possible with the Motion Terminal, including for retrofitting your system. Get ready to be inspired!

On/off process valves can be automated in different ways using pneumatics. This white paper looks at automation using an individual valve, a valve terminal and a digital valve terminal, and compares the three actuation methods in terms of:

• Required hardware/components and the installation

effort involved

• Investment costs

• Potential for compressed air savings and increased

energy efficiency

• Diagnostic and maintenance options

• Potential for function integration

• Possible applications in safety-related circuits

• Possible applications in potentially explosive areas
