1.4.3 Pressure sensor plate
Depending on the type, the pressure sensor plate monitors
– the operating pressure in channel (1)
(type VMPA-FB-PS-1)
– an external processing pressure (type VMPA-FB-PS-P1)
– the pressure in exhaust ducts (3) and (5)
(type VMP A-FB-PS-3/5).
The pressure sensor indicates whether the applied pressure
exceeds, conforms to or falls below the setpoint value using
three LEDs. An additional L ED indicates common errors.
The MPA-S valve terminal can be equipped with up to 4
pressure sensor plates.
The limits for pressure monitoring are set by means of
parameter settings. The pressure sensor plate can be
parametrised via the PLC or the Festo Handheld (CPX-MMI).
Mounting of the pressure sensor plate is described in the
mounting instructions VMPA-FB-PS-...
Information on parametrising the pressure sensor is provided
in the MPA-... electronics description from Festo.
