The CPI/CP system consists of individual modules which are
connected to each other by means of CP cables. In this way it
is possible to decentralize the arrangement of the CP system.
The compact CP valve terminals can be mounted very close to
the cylinders to be controlled. This enables short compressed
air
tubing to be used.
System losses can be minimized if short compressed air
tubing is used and the times required for pressurising and
exhausting the tubing can be reduced.
This enables smaller valves with sufficient flow to be used,
thereby helping to reduce costs.
