1. System summary of the CP system
Festo P.BE−CPX−CP−E N en 0405NH
A CP system consists of individual modules which are con
nected to each other by means of CP cables. In this way it is
possible to decentralise the arrangement of the CP modules.
The compact CP valve terminals and CP I/O modules can be
fitted very close to the cylinders to be controlled. This en
ables short compressed air tubing to be used.
System losses can be minimised if short compressed air tub
ing is used and the times required for pressurising and ex
hausting the tubing can be reduced.
This enables smaller valves with sufficient flow to be used,
thereby helping to reduce costs.
