With the PA-Toolkit from Festo, implementing the automation logic of process engineering units and modules is really intuitive. You can also use the library for CODESYS to program applications without the need for more in-depth programming expertise. This is ideal for automating modular systems according to the MTP standard, which requires a separate controller for each system module.

Previously being our Focus Product brochure, Festo North America presents our Key Products for North America brochure.  This brochure stars our key product for the year pertinent to the North American Region.

With this issue of Highlights 2020, you are holding a kind of compass

in your hand. It will show you where the path with Festo might take

you this year.

You will see the first results in our core product range. Numerous new

components like the mini slide DGST or the compact cylinder ADN-S

are useful additions to the portfolio.

A central theme for us is connectivity at all possible levels:

mechanical, electrical and software.

Covers 80% of your automation tasks

Products from the core product range from Festo make it easy for you to increase the productivity of your textile machines. Whether the need is for spinning, stretch texturing, weaving, round knitting, flat knitting or textile finishing – Festo offers the right product for your application.

The world of bulk material handling seems easy at first glance: moving, filling, delivering. The art of dealing with a variety of different materials, however, lies in the details, such as the docking and undocking of containers at weighing stations. In the process, crosscontaminations

and the release of dusts can occur. AZO CleanDock prevents this

problem. Its latest generation can do even more: it “thinks” for itself. Directly attached to the dock, the integrated controller CEC of the modular electrical terminal CPX from Festo ensures additional process security and shortened commissioning times.

The VTSA is ideal for maximum pneumatic and electrical function integration. Especially innovative is the mix of 5 valve sizes on one valve terminal, without the need for an adapter plate up to size 2! The VTSA is fully compliant with ISO 15407-2 and ISO 5599-2 – yet is easy to integrate. It can be used as a complete installation solution for large-scale machine concepts. And is also available as a fl ow-optimised version VTSA-F.

Many of Festo’s products are inherently free of copper. For example guides are made essentially of polymer. In order to be able to offer customers who manufacture lithium-ion batteries as many components as possible from our product range, we have optimised products specifically for use in this field – and we have replaced parts that contain copper with copper-free elements.

Our multi-part static system presentation comprehensively shows

• how Festo products can be connected to and integrated in various fieldbus and Ethernet protocols around the world

• how the communication hierarchies are related to one another

• and which networking and installation concepts Festo supports: for fluid and motion control for factory and process automation (FA/PA)

Making automation systems more productive – not a problem with our star products, every single one shines it its own field: cylinders, drives, valves, sensors, accessories, tubing and fittings and ser vice units.They are cost-effective, work together perfectly and are guaranteed to drive your machinery’s productivity.

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.
