1.1 Structure of the CPX terminal
CPX terminals consist of electric and pneumatic modules for
controlling pneumatic actuators and low−current consuming
electric devices (further valves, bulbs, etc.). They are usually
placed decentrally directly on the machine or system.
Design variants CPX terminals are available in plastic version (type CPX−...)
and in metal version (type CPX−M−...) with various different
functions. They can
be fitted with different electric and pneu
matic modules (valves) in accordance with the customer’s
wishes. The equipment fitted on the CPX terminal in this man
ual may therefore differ from the equipment you are using.
