Automation platform CPX-E: the interface for many functions
As the interface between the host controller and a modular automation solution, the CPX-E is the interface between pneumatics, electric drive technology and sensors technology. The integrated decentralised control function is integrated in the decentralised network via EtherCAT® masters. EtherCAT® is also used for the direct connection of servo drives. IO-Link® provides greater flexibility for point-to-point communication.
CPX-E motion licence
With the software licence “Motion and robotics” for the controller CPX-E-CEC-M1-xx, you get a user-friendly solution that lets you design handling applications quickly and conveniently. You can obtain the two licences at Festo AppWorld.
PTP licence
- Point-to-point interpolation
- Actuation of simple kinematic systems
- Graphic visualisation for handheld operator unit CDSA-D3-RV
- Teach-in function in combination with visualisation
- For applications such as pick & place, loading/unloading
CP licence
- Cartesian linear and circular interpolation
- Orientation interpolation
- Contour applications

Festo Teach Language FTL
The software FTL is included in the CPX-E motion licences. It provides a variety of functions for programming motion and actuating I/Os. Thanks to its simple design and intuitive operation, programming motions is very quick and requires no extensive programming skills or special training. This means the programmer can focus fully on the application.
