166 Festo – P.BE-MPA-EN – 1309f – English
Term/abbreviation Description
Basic components Component (port pattern, multi-pin plug connect io n plate, pneumatic
sub-base or pneumatic air supply plate) on which further co mponents
(exhaust plates, flat plate silencers, pressure regulators, valves or
blanking plates) are mounted.
Blanking plate Plate without valve function for sealing unused valve positions on
sub-bases
Components Common term for port pattern, multi-pin plug connection plate, exhaust
plate, flat plate silencer, pneumatic sub-base, pneumatic air supply
plate, electric supply plate, pressure sensor plate, proportional
pressure regulator, end plate, pressure regulator plate, valve and
blanking plate
CPX modules Common term for the various modules which can be incorporated into a
CPX terminal
CPX terminal Modular electrical terminal
Electric air supply plate Plate for additional supply of load voltage to the valves
Electrical interface Common term for port pattern, CPI interface, multi-pin plug connection
plate and AS-interface
Electronics module Module in the sub-base with an LED and solenoid coil management
End plate Extreme right plate:
– with/without pneumatic supply ports
– with holes for H-rail and wall mounting
Extreme left plate:
– of the CPX terminal
– of the valve terminal with multi-pin plug connection
– with holes for H-rail and wall mounting
Exhaust plate Plate for ducted exhaust air with connection (3/5)
I/O modules Input/output modules
MO Manual override
MPA1 or MPA2 Size of the valves: MPA1 = 10 mm, MPA2 = 20 mm
MPA-S valve terminal with
multi-pin plug connection
type M PA…-MPM-…
Variant of the M PA-S valve terminal with Sub-D plug
All solenoid coils are c onnected centrally via the Sub-D plug. The
electrical interlinking is modular, i.e. every sub-base has its own board.
Multi-pin plug connection Connection with modular electric interlinking module of type
MPA...-MPM-...
Pneumatic air supply plate Plate for additional supply of compressed air to the valves, e.g. if there
are several pressure zones.
Pneumatics module Module consisting of pneumatic sub-bases, ele ctronics module, valves
or blanking plates
Port pattern The port pattern is the interface between the modular electrical
peripherals of the CPX terminal and the M PA-S pneumatics
