Valve terminal pneumatics of type MPA
MPA pneumatics consist of serially linked MPA pneumatic
modules. From a technical viewpoint, the MPA pneumatic
modules in a CPX terminal represent digital output modules
for controlling the integrated valves (valve solenoid coils). The
pneumatic interface for MPA pneumatics merely produces the
mechanical and electrical connection to the MPA pneumatic
modules.
Valves in various sizes are also available for CPX valve ter
minals with MPA pneumatics. 4 to 32 valve locations per CPX
valve terminal are possible:
MPA1 pneumatic modules occupy 8 outputs for max.
4 valves.
MPA2 pneumatic modules occupy 4 outputs for max.
2 valves.

Further information on the pneumatics of your CPX valve ter
minal can be found in the appropriate Pneumatics Manual.
