Automation platform CPX-E: The interface for many functions

As the interface between the host controller and modular automation solution, CPX-E is the point where pneumatics, electric drive technology as well as sensors come together. The integrated decentralized control function is achieved in the decentralized 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.
