FESTO Valve Island CPV10-VI CPV10 Series

Product Description:

One of the standout characteristics of this valve series is its remarkable compactness. Each valve plate measures only 10 millimeters in width, allowing a dual-valve function (either dual electric control or two position five way) to be incorporated within a minimal installation space. This results in a very high power density, enabling the valves to be installed directly adjacent to actuators or equipment modules, thus significantly reducing the space needed in control cabinets.

The CPV10 features a modular splicing design that provides great flexibility. Multiple valve plates—typically ranging from two to eight—can be connected according to actual operational requirements and managed collectively via bus nodes. This approach simplifies both configuration and expansion. When additional functions are needed in the future, simply attaching more valve plates is sufficient.

Despite its compact size, this valve series delivers impressive flow capabilities, supporting a standard flow rate of up to 400 liters per minute. This capacity is enough to drive most standard cylinders effectively. Furthermore, its proximity installation near actuators significantly shortens the pneumatic path, which minimizes pressure losses and enhances the cylinder’s response speed.

The valve series offers a broad range of electrical interface options tailored to various on-site applications, including:

• Multi-pin Interface: Utilizes multi-core cables to streamline wiring complexity.
• Fieldbus Interface: Compatible with leading industrial fieldbus protocols such as PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherCAT, and more to facilitate seamless integration into automation systems.
• AS-i Interface: Ideal for straightforward distributed I/O control setups.

With an IP65 protection rating, the valve island effectively guards against dust ingress and water from all directions, guaranteeing reliable operation under harsh industrial conditions. Moreover, certain models have achieved ATEX explosion-proof certification, making them suitable for use in hazardous locations, including chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.

Each valve plate comes equipped with an LED status indicator that clearly shows the valve’s operational status, such as on/off states and fault conditions. Most models also include manual control mechanisms, or manual triggers, which facilitate straightforward manual operation during debugging, maintenance tasks, or power outages, thereby streamlining the overall maintenance process.

Applications:

The CPV10 valve island is known for its compact design, flexibility, and high reliability, making it a popular choice in various automation applications that demand both space efficiency and performance.

In general industrial automation, the CPV10 is well-suited for a range of equipment including packaging machinery, assembly lines, material handling systems, transportation devices, and sorting machines. Its versatility supports smooth and efficient operation across these sectors.

For industries where cleanliness is paramount, such as electronic assembly, semiconductor manufacturing, medical device production, and pharmaceutical packaging, the CPV10 valve island is commonly utilized. It offers the high volume and reliable pneumatic control necessary to meet stringent quality and hygiene standards.

Additionally, there are explosion-proof versions of the CPV10 valve island designed for use in special environmental conditions. These models are ideal for chemical and biological industries where flammable or explosive gases and dust might be present, ensuring safety and compliance with rigorous industrial regulations.
