5.4 Converting the MPA-S valve terminal
The MPA-S valve terminal can be extended/converted at a

combining MPA-S components can be found in the
Festo Catalogue (see www.festo.comcatalogue).
The follow ing conversion work can be undertaken on the
MPA-S valve terminal:
– Conversion between ducted and unducted exhaust air
– Conversion to internal or external pilot air supply.
– Conve rsi o n to differe n t press ure zo ne s
– Adding valve positions (sub-bases)
– Adding supply plates to the pneumatic supplemental
supply
5.4.1 Conversion to internal or external pilot air supply
Pilot control can be undertaken with internal or external pilot
air depending on the pneumatic interface or the multiple
connector plate.
Note
Mixed operation of the MPA-S valve terminal with internal
and external pilot air is not intended. Irrespective of the
available pressure zones, all pilot controls of the MPA-S
valve terminal are supplied with the same pilot air.
