Flexible Architecture for IP65 Remote I/O and Valves

October 30, 2024

Put remote I/O and valves where you need them. Easily add digital I/O, IO-Link, and analog inputs to extend the functionality of your PLC across your machine or conveyor line. The CPX-AP product lines from Festo support up to 80 modules of additional I/O on one fieldbus module. And with CPX-AP-I distributed I/O and valves, you can place modules up to 50 m apart from one another.

Use your preferred PLC with EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP fieldbus networks.
