FESTO CPV14-GE-MP-8 Valve Island | Ultra Compact Modular Pneumatic Control Terminal

Product Description:

One of the standout characteristics of this valve series is its remarkably compact design. Each valve plate measures only 10 millimeters in width, yet it is capable of integrating the functions of two valves—either dual electric control or a two-position five-way valve—within a very small installation footprint. This results in an exceptionally high power density.

Because of its small size and integrated design, the valve plate can be installed directly near actuators or equipment modules, which significantly saves space inside control cabinets and simplifies overall system layout.

The CPV10 series features a modular, spliceable design that allows multiple valve plates to be connected together with great flexibility. Typically, between two and eight valve plates can be combined based on the specific requirements of an application.

These connected valve plates are controlled uniformly over bus nodes, facilitating straightforward configuration and future scalability. Should you need to expand functionality down the line, simply add more valve plates without the need for extensive redesign.

Despite its miniature size, this valve series delivers impressive fluid performance, offering a standard flow rate of up to 400 liters per minute. This capacity is sufficient to drive most standard cylinders efficiently.

Furthermore, the ability to install the valve plates close to the actuators helps minimize the air path length, which reduces pressure loss and enhances the actuators' response speed considerably.

To meet diverse on-site application needs, a wide variety of electrical interface options are provided:

• Multi-pin Interface: Utilizes a multi-core cable connection to simplify wiring complexity.
• Fieldbus Interface: Supports multiple mainstream industrial fieldbus protocols such as PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherCAT, enabling seamless integration into automation networks.
• AS-i Interface: Suitable for simple distributed I/O control applications.

The valve island boasts a high protection rating of IP65, effectively preventing the intrusion of dust and water from all directions. This ensures stable and reliable operation even in harsh industrial environments.

Additionally, certain models have achieved ATEX explosion-proof certification, making them suitable for use in dangerous zones with potential explosion hazards, such as chemical plants and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Each valve plate is equipped with an LED status indicator that visually displays operational states including valve activation, faults, and other conditions. This feature enhances troubleshooting efficiency.

Moreover, many models incorporate manual control devices, such as manual triggers, which facilitate manual operation during debugging, maintenance, or in the event of power failures, thereby simplifying upkeep tasks.

Applications:

The CPV10 valve island is known for its compact size, flexibility, and high reliability. These attributes make it a popular choice in various automation applications where space constraints and operational efficiency are critical.

In the realm of general industrial automation, the CPV10 valve island is ideal for use in packaging machinery, assembly lines, material handling systems, transportation, and sorting equipment. Its design supports seamless integration into diverse automated processes, enhancing overall productivity.

For industries that demand stringent cleanliness standards, such as electronic assembly, semiconductor manufacturing, medical device production, and pharmaceutical packaging, the CPV10 valve island offers reliable pneumatic control components capable of handling high-volume operations with consistent performance.

Additionally, specialized models with explosion-proof capabilities are available for environments with hazardous conditions. These versions are suitable for chemical and biological industries where flammable or explosive gases and dust may be present, ensuring safe and efficient operation under strict safety requirements.
