Many functions safe under the roof of VTUX
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".
The successor to the three valve terminal classics CPV, MPA-L/S and VTUG impresses with its high flow rate and almost limitless modularity. The valve terminal fits almost any machine concept, whether centralized or decentralized. The valve terminal modules can be arranged as required and are compact and lightweight. They save time as well as space and weight in the machine.
Openness with AP communication technology
With AP communication technology, connections become child's play, even over long distances. This communication technology creates the prerequisites for safety designs, predictive maintenance and data exchange with the cloud in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). The remote I/O system CPX-AP-A with IP65/67 protection enables real-time communication via Ethernet-based fieldbus and internal AP communication. Input and output signals - whether digital or analog - can be connected directly for any application (M8, M12, terminal strip). It offers a wide range of options for voltage supply and forwarding as well as an interface for application programming.
Plug-in connections can be adapted to the desired hose diameter. This achieves an optimum balance between space saving and supply reliability. Any number of pressure zones can also be defined. The lightweight design of the VTUX allows it to be used on the front-end unit, a gantry or robot arm. This enables short and efficient pneumatic pipes.
