CPX−CP interface
The CPX−CP interface serves for connecting decentrally ar
ranged CP modules (CP valve terminals and CP I/O modules).
It transmits control signals to the connected CP modules and
monitors their ability to function. Maximum 128 external I/Os
are possible per CPX−CP interface.
Detailed information on the CPX−CP interface can be found in
the manual
for the CPX−CP interface type P. BE−CPX−CP−...
Pneumatic interface
If the CPX terminal is to be fitted with valves, a pneumatic
interface will be required (see Tab.1/2). The pneumatic inter
face is the interface between the electric and pneumatic pe
ripherals. It forms the mechanical connection between the
pneumatic and electric modules and transmits the electric
signals.
The CPX pneumatic interface is mounted
on the right−hand
side of the last electric module. Pneumatic interfaces can be
used for e.g.:
 Pneumatics of type MPA (maximum 128solenoid coils)
 Pneumatics of type VTSA (maximum 32solenoid coils)
 Pneumatics of type Midi/Maxi (maximum 26solenoid
coils)
 Pneumatics of type CPA (maximum 22solenoid coils)
