Proportional technology with a Fieldbus System

VPPM proportional technology together with CPX/MPA offers a new dimension in pneumatics, electronics, and networking. This is a new generation of function and system integration.

Integrated Proportional Technology
The Festo embedded bus technology in MPA valves provides this unique capability, allowing for the combination of directional (MPA) and proportional valves (VPPM) on the same pneumatic manifold. These valves can now be controlled by a variety of fieldbus, Ethernet systems or local control.

Accurate Regulation via Fieldbus/Ethernet
For universal applications, accurate regulator characteristics without overshoot are possible. Fast, universal, precise regulation,even over large distances. An essential plus: comprehensive diagnostics.

Highlights
• Constant information on pressure and status ensures top-quality production
• Seamless documentation
• Ultra reliable data transmission
• Remote diagnostics
• Integrated complete ready-to-use solution
• Compact size
• Factory assembled and tested
• No cables to wire reducing assembly time
• Simple programming – no conversions necessary
