Valve terminals type 32 MPA
Peripherals overview
Modular pneumatic components
The modular design of the MPA
facilitates maximum flexibility right
from the planning stage and offers
maximum ease of service in
operation.
The system consists of manifold
blocks and valves.
The manifold blocks are screwed
together and thus form the support
system for the valves.
They contain the connection ducts for
supplying compressed air to and vent-
ing from the valve terminal as well as
the working lines for the pneumatic
drives for each valve.
Each manifold block i s connected to
the next using three screws.
Individual terminal sections can be
isolated and further manifold blocks
inserted by loosening these screws.
This ensures that the valve terminal
can be rapidl y and reliably extended.
Modular electrical peripherals

The MPA with CPX interface is based
on the internal bus system of the CPX
andusesthisserialcommunication
system for all solenoid coils and a
range of electrical input and output
functions.
Serial linking facilitates the following:
• Transmission of switching
information
• High valve density
• Compact design
• Position-based di agnostics
• Separate voltage supply for valves
• Flexible conversion without address
shifting
• Transmission of status, parameter
and diagnostic data

• Option of CP interface
• CPX-FEC as stand- alone controller
with access via Ethernet and web
server
