Product overview Additional information – Contact the regional Festo contact if you have technical problems è www.festo.com. – Accessories and spare parts è www.festo.com/catalogue. Product overview Function A built-in pressure sensor records the pressure at the working port and compares this value with the setpoint value.
1. Remove the plug screw and sealing material from the duct (1). 2. Insert the O-ring into the duct (1) between 2 valves. 3. Connect the valves on the bottom using socket head screws and square nuts. Tightening torque: 1.2 ± 0.2 Nm Festo — VPPI-...-S1BT — 2021-11...
Plug screws VAME-P18-BP-G18-P5 for the duct (1) can also be ordered as accessories è www.festo.com/catalogue. • Screw the plug screw into the duct (1) of the selected valve. Screw in the plug screw until it is flush with the surrounding surface. Festo — VPPI-...-S1BT — 2021-11...
1. Make sure there is sufficient space for the connecting cable and tubing connections. Ä This will prevent kinks from forming in the connecting cables and the tubing. 2. Place the valve as close to the consumer as possible. Ä This improves control precision and reduces response times. Festo — VPPI-...-S1BT — 2021-11...

Commissioning using the Bluetooth interface The product variants VPPI-...-S1BT have a Bluetooth interface for parameterisation. The parameters are set with the Festo Automation Suite plug-in. The Bluetooth interface is permanently active. The Bluetooth connection must therefore be secured against unauthorised access.
Start screen Projects can be opened and functions that are frequently required at the start can be executed on the start screen. The start screen is displayed by default when the Festo Automation Suite is started for the first time.
8.2.3 Installing or updating plug-in The Festo Automation Suite automatically searches for updates of the plug-ins when it is started. The automatic check for updates can be deactivated è Festo Automation Suite Online Help. Plug-ins can be installed or updated as follows: –...
