Festo P.BE−MPAF−EN en 0910a
A maximum of 16 MPA−F pneumatic modules are permitted
on the MPA−F valve terminal with CPX terminal. The following

of the same size are used):
MPA1: up to 128 solenoid coils
(maximum of 64 valve positions)
MPA2: up to 64 solenoid coils
(maximum of 32 valve positions)
Note
Note when addressing that an MPA2 pneumatic module
has only 4 addresses compared to an MPA1 pneumatic
module.
Assigning the addresses
The assignment of the addresses is module−orientated
A pneumatic module always occupies
MPA1: 8 addresses
MPA2: 4 addresses
Counting begins on the valve terminal from left to right
Each valve position occupies 2 addresses, irrespective of
the valve or blanking plate mounted.
The following assignment applies:
solenoid coil 14 occupies the lower−value address,
solenoid coil 12 occupies the higher−value address.
