The new I/O system in IP65/IP67 enables powerful I/O modules and existing valve terminal interfaces to be integrated in the most important host systems. Based on the innovative AP system communication from Festo, CPX-AP-I ensures continuous communication from the workpiece to the cloud – tailored to your needs!

Designed as an EtherCAT® master controller and motion controller
with protection to IP20, the powerful automation system CPX-E for
factory and process automation with NE21-specific certifications is
becoming the central control system for handling technology. Several
bus modules are available for the configuration as a compact and
low-cost remote I/O.

Individual valves or valve terminals – which is the most suitable option for actuating pneumatically automated process valves? What are the technological and economic differences between the two? We will use a cost comparison to compare and contrast the two options. And what are the differences in terms of commissioning? Which diagnostic options are available with valve terminals for reducing unscheduled downtime? These are the questions that will be examined in this article.
