CPX terminal/CPI system - Electrical peripherals for perfect networking

The CPX-Terminal is a cost effective, modular and flexible electrical I/O terminal in high protection rate IP65/67. It can operate stand alone or can be perfectly combined with valve manifolds. In addition it can feature motion control modules for servopneumatic positioning systems or motor controller for electrical axes. With the CANopen field-bus node CPX-FB14, it has a maximum capacity of 256 I/O which supports up to four axes.

Together with the highly modular valve terminals MPA or VTSA you will get an optimal synthesis of standard pneumatics, proportional and servopneumatics, various electrical I/O and motion control to build a unique automation platform. See extra product description MPA or VTSA.
