Festo launches extension to CPX automation platform
Festo has launched a new CPX extension system for its high performance CPX automation platform. The extension has been optimised for cabinets and will enable engineers to split CPX valve terminals into two parts and, as a result, save costs of up to 30% compared to current solutions.
>The CPX extension has been designed in response to customer demand for a simple solution that allows them to include more modules in a cost-effective way and is especially made for cabinet applications such as those found in general process and food and drink industries. Previously, users were restricted to 10 modules and if they required more, would need to purchase a second CPX with fieldbus node, use extraordinary control cabinets, or install a CPX vertically.
