Putting you in a leading position, no matter

whether the solution you need is simple or complex

Can you imagine defending a unique position for more than 20 years? No? But this

is precisely what we have done. Ever since Festo invented the valve terminal, we

have been the leader, both in terms of the scope of our product portfolio and the

development of new and better functions. And we mean to hold on to that position

– to help you, our customers, create a lead for yourselves over your competitors.

You will find suggestions on how to do this on the following pages.

Simple and inexpensive:

5 valve terminal ranges with

bus node CTEU

Whenever you need solutions

which are simple but nonethe-

less compatible with fieldbus

systems: Festo offers 5 inexpen-

sive valve terminal ranges

equipped with a bus node CTEU.

This strikingly simple fieldbus

technology replaces existing

installations with multi-pin

connectors or individual wiring –

and doesn’t cost any etxra!

The basis for this communication

interface for all CTEU-compatible

valve terminals is the Festo

specific “I-Port” as a universal

M12 connector. This offers the

flexibility of accepting the new

fieldbus/Ethernet bus modules

type CTEU or being configured

for IO Link.

These valve terminals are cre-

ated for automation in the 21st

century and are unique in the

world thanks to function inte-

gration and a holistic approach:

In combination with CPX, these

valve terminals are able to

display their strengths to the

full as an automation platform

for electrical I/O, standard, pro-

portional and servopneumatics,

sensors and compact vision

systems and with motion

control.

Keeping complex tasks firmly

under control with valve

terminals MPA or VTSA

combined with the modular

electrical terminal CPX

With CPX and valve terminals,

it is possible for the first time

to combine functions such as:

• Front-end control

• Motion control

• Measurement and control

• Diagnostics and condition

monitoring

and implement universal

communication via a fieldbus

system and Ethernet from the

field level up to the master

control level.

What is more, CPX opens up

these valve terminals for use

with all normal fieldbus systems

and all electrical installation

standards. A complete pneu-

matic control chain can be

controlled via just one fieldbus

connection, while the integrated

motion control functions allow

electrical and servopneumatic

positioning. And the heavy-duty

front-end controllers make it

possible to carry out comprehen-

sive process optimization using

their signal pre-processing

functions.

Advanced function integration

Beck Automation AG,

Oberengstringen, Switzerland

If a company wishes to develop

stylish solutions, it needs

inventive but also reliable

partners. “Festo is just such a

partner,” explains Christian

Beck, one of the managing

partners of the Swiss company

Beck Automation AG. This

company supplies hand ling

robots for the in-mould labeling

process. For Beck, international

service is just as important as

excellence in technology.

Decentralization as a magic

formula

KUKA Systems GmbH,

Augsburg, Germany

Solar modules on a 10-second

high-speed tuning cycle to

produce crystalline photovoltaic

modules. Trimming, taping on

the fly and framing are under-

taken by fully-automatic robotic

systems. Festo pneuma tic

proportional technology ensures

that the contact pressure of the

tape roller is correct. The

decentralised electro - pneumatic

control chain with CPX/MPA

directly on the robot tool makes

the process faster and more

reliable and saves energy.

Individual control

elumatec GmbH,

Mühlacker, Germany

A good appearance is important

for successful sales! This also

applies to aluminium and plastic

profiles, as the manu facturer

elumatec knows: “Our machines

need to be fast and precise and

also sensitive.” This is why

elumatec chooses Festo valve

terminal technology. “In order to

be able to actuate cylinders with

different pressures, we use the

functionality of Festo products

for creating of pressure zones

and for the vertical stacking of

modules.”

Attractive solutions – from every point of view

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Whoever takes this rule to heart becomes

stronger. Just like us at Festo. We always aim to use our individual strengths to create a

holistic solution. Our customers greatly appreciate this. Here are just a few examples:

Commissioning and mainte-

nance: As easy as child’s play

CeraCon GmbH,

Weikersheim, Germany

People seldom give a thought to

foam seals, but these provide re-

liable protection from air, dust

and humidity. CeraCon’s new

one-component system and

proportional technology from

Festo is generating innovation

in the seal industry. During the

preparation and dosing of the

materials, a valve terminal

CPX/MPA with diagnostic

functionality forms a bridgehead

to the master machine control

system. Standardised network-

ing and a neat installation

structure, easy implementation

and high function density

provide benefits for CeraCon as

commissioning and maintenance

become as easy as child’s play.

Seminar on higher plant

efficiency

Karlsberg Brauerei GmbH,

Homburg, Germany

One important concept for

increasing machine availability

and reducing downtime is Total

Productive Maintenance, or TPM.

This is used by, for example, the

brewery Karlsberg Brauerei GmbH

in Homburg to achieve a

continuous increase in plant

efficiency. The Festo Didactic

seminar “Fundamentals of Total

Productive Maintenance (TPM)”

provided the company with an

introduction to this concept.

Reducing costs with ready-to-

install control cabinets

Ziemann Group,

Ludwigsburg, Germany

The Ziemann Group in Ludwigs-

burg develops and builds

brewery installations for clients

worldwide. The extremely

economical operation of these

installations allow breweries to

run production operations with

extremely low life-cycle costs.

In designing these installations,

Ziemann concentrates totally on

its own core competences.

Control cabinets for the produc-

tion systems in the brewing

rooms and refrigerated areas

are supplied by Festo as ready-

to-install units. These control

the pneuma tic process valves

and provide individual diagnos-

tics for each valve. A pressure

measurement module on each

valve manifold checks the

supply pressure.

1. Concentration of a number of

valves and I/O on one point with

central installation

Example of CPX/VTSA with

Profibus:

• Price per channel for 4

5/2-way valves 100%

• Price per channel for 16

5/2-way valves 40% less

• Price per channel for 32

5/2-way valves 50% less

Example of CPX/MPA with

Profibus:

• Price per channel for 16

3/2-way valves 100%

• Price per channel for 32

3/2-way valves 16% less

• Price per channel for 128

3/2-way valves 28% less

2. More performance – greatly

reduced price per channel on

high-capacity I/O modules

• 8 digital inputs instead of 4:

price per channel 40% less

• 16 digital inputs instead of 8:

25% less

• 8 digital outputs instead of 4:

15% less

• 4 analogue inputs instead of

2: 20% less

More channels per modules

means, for example, overhead

costs with decentralised valve

terminals which are up to 34%

lower!

4. Benefit from higher

productivity

A decentralised machine concept

requires greater investment. But

it can speed up cycle times by

10%, thus making the investment

pay for itself within just a few

weeks. Diagnostic functions are

also well worthwhile and improve

the total cost of ownership (TCO)

of your end customers (see

point 5, page 12). With remote

maintenance, for example, you

can offer completely new types of

service concepts or maintenance

contracts and new forms of

guarantees.

10

Reducing the cost of electrical and motion control solutions

Within the overall costs of an installation, the costs of the components themselves are

often the smallest item. You can therefore reduce overall costs by planning ahead. Below

you will find some hints and tips that will help you to get more out of your budget.

Technological optimization for more economic production

Deal with one component

instead of over 200. In factory

and process automation, it is

possible to optimize overall

costs and increase reliability.

For example, with well-thought-

out control cabinet concepts,

even for high-volume

production.

A further benefit: our

Condition Monitoring

Service. This continuously

monitors critical processes

and avoids unplanned

downtime. This service can

be matched exactly to your

requirements and we can

also provide support during

implementation. Ask our

specialists!

3a. Optimizing installation

space by up to 70%

The closer valves and I/O

modules are to the application,

the less installation space is

required. What is more, a multi-

pin connector can be up to 40%

smaller than a fieldbus

connector.

3b. Optimizing installation

space by up to 50%

Halve the installation width by

installing higher-capacity I/O

modules (see point 2, page 10).

3c. Optimizing installation

space: Decentral I/O modules

for three platforms

• Compact – minimal installation

space

• Robust – aluminium housings

with metal threads

• Economical – high channel

density

12

Reducing the cost of pneumatic components and safety technology

Do you know our integrated

technology? It offers system so-

lutions that deliver maximum

performance with minimal di-

mensions. These are ideal wher-

ever a compact neat design or

fast installation and mainte-

nance is important.

1. Saving flow rate by up to 50%

The principle is to be as close as

possible to the application; e.g.

by mounting on handling units or

robots.

2. Optimizing cycle times

by up to 30%

Will fast valves or a higher flow

rate boost performance? A

precise answer is provided by a

simulation which also takes into

account tubing cross-section and

length.

4. Function integration

for demonstrable efficiency

gains of up to 60%

Modules for temperatur e

measurement, manual pressure

regulators, pressure sensors

or proportional valves can now

be ordered fully integrated,

pre- assembled and tested on

CPX/MPA. This saves space

and simplifies installation,

commissioning and

programming.

5. Optimised machine

utilization through diagnostics

There is a wide choice of

diagnostic functions and

diagnostic depth, with

optimization of the strategic

diagnostic approach. Herer

are a few examples:

Technology that delivers greater economy

• Reducing downtime by a

factor of 8 with channel-

oriented diagnostics. Allows

immediate detection of the

type of fault and its location.

• The valve terminal MPA is

more reliable, safer and more

economical thanks to serial

linking, special Festo valve

ASICs and pressure sensors.

• CPX Web Monitor – optional

for all valve terminals

connected to CPX via

Ethernet. Comprehensive

diagnostics without program-

ming costs using standard

browsers.

• Condition Monitoring

Systems for preventive

maintenance to avoid

breakdowns. Only from

Festo: specially for valves!
