For automation system CPX-AP-I for Hydrogen Applications - Festo

  • The CPX-AP-I automation system is designed to meet the demands of modern digital factories with its flexible, decentralized, and compact structure. It offers high protection (IP65/IP67) and is future-proof, ensuring reliable performance for upcoming industrial requirements.
  • Up to four IO-Link devices per IO-Link master can be integrated into the CPX-AP-I system and several IO-Link masters can be connected to a bus interface. It is thus possible in theory to have up to 316 IO-Link devices per bus interface.
  • Any devices from Festo and third-party suppliers as well as Festo components with I-Port connection can be connected to the automation system CPX-AP-I via the IO-Link master and the Festo IO-Link tool.
  • Parameter and master port settings can be conveniently carried out via the software’s graphic interface with the help of the Festo IO-Link tool. 
  • With the new I/O system CPX-AP-I in IP65/IP67, powerful I/O modules and existing valve terminal connections can be integrated into the most important host systems, including IO-Link master.
