Festo P.BE-CPX-SYS-EN en 0112NH
CPX terminals are designed for fitting into a machine or an
automated system. Depending on the CPX node used, they
can be connected to a special field bus system and serve for
interrogating sensor signals and for controlling pneumatic
and electric actuators.
The individual CPX modules of the CPX terminal are docum-
ented in specific manuals. The safety instructions listed in the
manuals must always be observed and the relevant CPX mod-
ule must only be used as intended. CPX modules and cables
are only to be used as follows:
– in accordance with designated use
– in their original state
– without any modifications by the user
– in faultless technical condition.
When used together with commercially available compo-
nents, such as sensors and actuators, the specified limits for
pressures, temperatures, electrical data, torques etc. must be
observed. National and local safety regulations must also be
observed.
