Valve terminal VTUX by FESTO

5 / 5 Reviews : 1

VTUX sets new standards in terms of materials, modularity and communication. The successor to the renowned CPV, MPA-L/S and VTUG series impresses with its high flow rate. Additionally, thanks to the AP-I and AP-A communication system, it is an ideal platform for digital production.

manufacturer: FESTO

The most important features of the valve island:

Provides high flow rate up to 730 l/min.
Light construction, made of high-quality polymer.
Extremely versatile in use in terms of network architecture and machine concept.
Offers high modularity.
Combines all the advantages of CPV, MPA and VTUG islands in one platform.
Open to future innovations and new functionalities.

The configurable valve island provides maximum flexibility in machine design. From the proven multi-pin connection to the latest AP communication interfaces, it offers the highest level of performance during communication, which is very useful for further expansion.

Flexibility.

Thanks to the high level of modularity, valve functions and the sizes of valve bases can be freely arranged on the island while maintaining maximum efficiency and compactness.

The machine concept is a priority.

A wide selection of interfaces allows the island to be perfectly matched to the control architecture, regardless of whether it is simple control via I/O or via an industrial network.

Excellent communication.

AP fast communication technology allows you to create a network of centralized and distributed devices and deploy them even over long distances. This allows for a perfect adaptation to the machine concept.

Configuration and installation.

VTUX is a tailor-made island in which almost all elements can be configured according to your own requirements, e.g. connectors can be selected to the required pipe diameter, saving space and ensuring optimized air flow. You can also define any number of pressure zones.

VTUX can be used virtually anywhere.

Both as a central valve island equipped with IO modules, as well as a compact island with only valves, close to the actuators, allowing the shortening of pneumatic lines. Thanks to its lightweight construction, it is ideal for mounting on a robot arm, gripper or manipulator.

The VTUX valve island is integrated with the AP communication network:

AP ensures error-free and future-proof communication between automation system components:

Faster data transmission up to 200 Mbaud.
Faster cycle times up to 250 seconds
Process data processing Input 2 kByte / Output 2 kByte.
Real-time communication with the valve island.

Gray color - industrial network - centralized valve island (VI).

Blue color - AP communication: distributed I/O modules; decentralized valve islands.

More versatile than ever.

The VTUX valve island can be configured as required, both in terms of the arrangement of the different valve sizes and functions, and in terms of dividing the functions into any number of sub-units.

Compact and lightweight

Thanks to its innovative design and construction, VTUX offers all the advantages of decentralized machine concepts. It is light, takes up little space, offers excellent flow rate and is attractively priced.
