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 terminals and electric drives in real time.
Area of application: Suitable for applications that require a high degree of modularity and flexibility, especially if both electrical and pneumatic components are to be integrated.
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.
Application area: Can be operated independently or integrated into a CPX-AP-A system via AP communication, creating a flexible and scalable system architecture.
Integration: Ideal for applications that require robust and compact modules, for example in confined or decentralized installation environments.
Through the combined use of CPX-AP-A and CPX-AP-I and Festo AP communication, automation solutions with electrical and pneumatic components can be implemented that enable a hybrid architecture of centralized and decentralized connection. The result: increased efficiency and optimum adaptability of the entire system!
