CPX terminals consist of electric and pneumatic modules for
controlling pneumatic actuators and low−current consuming
electric devices (further valves, bulbs, etc.). They are usually
placed decentrally directly on the machine or system.
CPX terminals are available in plastic version (type CPX−...)
and in metal version (type CPX−M−...) with various different
functions. They can be fitted with different electric and pneu
matic modules (valves) in accordance with the customer's
wishes. The equipment fitted on the CPX terminal in this man
ual may therefore differ from the equipment you are using.
