Festo is now making it even easier for its users: the functions of the classic valve terminals CPV, MPA-L/S and VTUG are now available under the umbrella of the convertible valve terminal VTUX. In addition, the AP-I and AP-A communication system creates the ideal platform for digitalized production. This brings flexibility and openness - true to the motto "Open Architecture".

L’initiative Power Up de Festo pour les constructeurs de machines pour le secteur de l’alimentation et des boissons vise à stimuler l'adoption efficace de l'automatisation électrique et, ce faisant, à soutenir le développement de la prochaine génération de machines compactes, flexibles, économes en énergie et riches en données.

The decentralised IO system CPX-AP-I allows compact and lightweight I/O modules as well as the decentralised valve terminals from Festo to be integrated into major host systems in a flexible and scalable way. Another advantage of CPX-AP-I is its seamless connectivity from the field level right through to the cloud, providing access to features such as predictive maintenance. This makes digitalisation incredibly easy.
