FESTO CPV14-GE-MP-4 Valve Terminal High Reliability Modular Pneumatic Valve Island for Industrial Equipment

Product Description:

One of the standout characteristics of this valve series is its exceptional compactness. Each valve plate measures only 10 millimeters in width. Despite its small size, it manages to incorporate the functions of two valves—either dual electric control or a two-position five-way valve—within a very limited installation space. This high integration results in an impressive power density, enabling direct installation close to actuators or equipment modules and significantly reducing the space required in control cabinets.

The CPV10 series employs a modular design that supports flexible assembly. Multiple valve plates, typically ranging from two to eight, can be interconnected based on specific application needs. These valve plates can then be managed centrally through bus nodes, simplifying control. This modular structure facilitates straightforward configuration and future expansion; additional valve plates can be added easily whenever new functionalities are required.

Despite its compact dimensions, the valve series delivers remarkable fluid performance with a standard flow capacity reaching up to 400 liters per minute, sufficient to drive most standard cylinders efficiently. Its ability to be mounted close to the actuator shortens the length of the airflow path, which reduces pressure losses and enhances the cylinder’s response speed significantly.

To meet diverse on-site requirements, the valve series offers an array of electrical interface options:

• Multi-pin Interface: Utilizes multi-core cables to streamline wiring complexity.
• Fieldbus Interface: Supports popular industrial fieldbus protocols such as PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, CANopen, and EtherCAT, allowing easy integration into automation networks.
• AS-i Interface: Ideal for straightforward distributed I/O control scenarios.

The valve island boasts a robust protection rating of IP65, effectively safeguarding against dust ingress and water jets from all directions. This ensures reliable operation even in challenging industrial environments. Moreover, selected models have obtained ATEX explosion-proof certification, making them suitable for hazardous locations with potential explosion risks, including chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Each valve plate is equipped with an LED status indicator that visually communicates operational states such as activation and faults. Additionally, most models feature manual control options, allowing manual operation during system commissioning, maintenance, or power interruptions. These features greatly simplify troubleshooting and upkeep procedures.

Applications:

The CPV10 valve island is known for its compact design, flexibility, and high reliability. These features make it an ideal choice for automation environments where space efficiency and dependable performance are crucial.

In the realm of general industrial automation, the CPV10 is extensively applied. It supports various applications including packaging machinery, assembly lines, material handling and transportation systems, as well as sorting equipment, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.

When it comes to sectors that demand stringent cleanliness standards, the CPV10 valve island is often utilized. It is commonly found in industries such as electronic assembly, semiconductor manufacturing, medical equipment production, and pharmaceutical packaging, all of which require a high volume of reliable pneumatic control components.

Furthermore, for specialized environmental conditions, explosion-proof versions of the CPV10 are available. These models are suitable for use in chemical and biological industries where the presence of flammable or explosive gases and dust necessitates enhanced safety measures.
