Users who would like to install the electrical terminal CPX for valve terminals only in the security of a control cabinet now have the perfect answer in the form of module type CPX-L from Festo. Attractively priced and reliable, it offers an entry into the versatile world of CPX.
According to the motto "Less is more", the CPX-L modules round off Festo’s CPX range of digital I/O modules in the lower price segment. They are designed for use in a control cabinet with IP20 remote I/O units and integrated valve terminals. The best example of this is the Festo valve terminal CPX-MPA. Users who need a large number of I/O channels will enjoy the cost savings with digital inputs and outputs on the CPX-L modules.
The price per channel is competitive, and the overall width of the modules with 16 channels is very slim. Installed in a control cabinet, CPX-L modules are just the right choice for food and beverage production or for process automation without explosion protection, for example in water and waste water treatment.
These inexpensive modules are available with either 16 digital inputs or as a mixed module with eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs. Thanks to their three-wire connection technology they do not need any additional terminals when operating with three-wire sensors. Thanks to the modularity with regard to the existing CPX platform, it is possible to combine the CPX-L modules with the standard CPX ones. This provides the low-cost CPX-L as an IP20 control cabinet alternative with access to the high-end technology modules of the Festo CPX world with all its valve terminal functions and fieldbus systems.
