1.2 Fitting

Warning
Sudden unexpected movement of the connected actuators and uncontrolled movements of loose tubing can cause injury to human beings or damage to property.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work, switch off the following:
 the compressed air supply  the operating and load voltage supplies.
The CPX terminal must first be dismantled before it can
be extended or converted, or when a pneumatic interface must be replaced. Instructions on this can be found in the CPX system manual. Instructions on extending or converting the pneumatic modules can be found in the appropriate pneumatics manual.
For Midi/Maxi, CPA or ISO pneumatic interfaces: The setting of the DIL switches for configuring
the pneumatics (valves used) can be set on the CPX terminal without the need to disamantle the terminal.

1.3 Settings for configuring the pneumatics

Midi/Maxi, CPA or VTSA pneumatics
Settings for configuring the pneumatics are only necessary with the pneumatic interfaces for Midi/Maxi, CPA and VTSA pneumatics (ISO).
No settings are required for MPA pneumatics.
Caution
After conversion or extension of the Midi/Maxi, CPA or VTSA pneumatics, the number of output addresses occu pied by the pneumatics must be set on a DIL switch on the pneumatic interface.
CPX terminals can be fitted with various valves and electric modules in accordance with the customer’s wishes.
The size of the
valve address range on Midi/Max, CPA or VTSA pneumatics is not modified when the valves are ex tended or converted, providing sufficient address space has already been reserved for the extension. The valve address range must be set with a DIL switch. The DIL switch is situ ated under the transparent cover on
the pneumatic interface.

Caution
Modules may be damaged if they are not handled correctly.
· Do not touch the electrical contacts of the modules.
· Observe the regulations for handling electrostatically
sensitive components.
· Discharge yourself electrostatically before fitting or re
moving components in order to protect the components against discharges of static electricity.
Please note
Handle all modules and components of the CPX terminal with great care. Please note especially the following:
· Screws must be fitted accurately (otherwise threads will
be damaged). Screws must be fastened at first only by hand. Place the screws so that the self−cutting threads are used.
· The specified torques must be observed.
· Screw connections must be fitted free of offset and
mechanical tension.
· Check the seals for damage (IP65).
· Connecting surfaces must be clean (to ensure sealing
effect, avoid leakage and contact faults).
The screw connection between the cover and the lower part of the CPA pneumatic interface is designed for at least 10 fitting/removal cycles.

1.6 Diagnosis

Midi/Maxi, CPA or VTSA pneumatics
Specific faults of the pneumatic interfaces are registered or suppressed depending on the module parametrizing.
The faults are shown on−the−spot by means of the Fault LED and, if necessary, can be evaluated with the Handheld (MMI).
Depending on the module parametrizing, the faults are sent to the field bus
node, where they can be evaluated according
to the field bus protocol used.
With the MPA pneumatics, parametrizing takes place via the individual MPA pneumatic modules (module−orientated, see chapter 2).

2. MPA pneumatic modules

2.1 Function of the MPA pneumatic modules

In the CPX terminal the MPA pneumatic modules provide digital outputs for controlling the valves and thus enable pneumatic actuators to be controlled.
From a technical point of view, the individual pneumatic modules each represent a separate electric module with digital outputs.
Without intermediate electrical supply (see section 2.3) maximum 8 MPA pneumatic modules terminal. Up to 64 valve solenoid coils (exclusively MPA1) or 32valve solenoid coils (exclusively MPA2) are therefore possible.
With intermediate electrical supply (see section 2.3) maxi mum 16 MPA pneumatic modules are permitted per CPX terminal. Up to 128 valve solenoid coils (exclusively MPA1) or 64valve solenoid coils (exclusively MPA2) possible.

2.2 Fitting

Warning
Sudden unexpected movement of the connected actuators and uncontrolled movements of loose tubing can cause injury to human beings or damage to property.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work, switch off the following:
 the compressed air supply  the operating and load voltage supplies.
The CPX terminal must first be dismantled before it can
be extended or converted, or when a pneumatic interface must be replaced. Instructions on this can be found in the CPX sys tem manual. Instructions on extending or converting the MPA pneumatic modules can be found in the appropriate pneumatics manual.
Electronic modules or valve plates can be replaced on the fitted CPX terminal.
Caution
Modules may be damaged if they are not handled correctly.
· Do not touch the electrical contacts of the modules.
· Observe the regulations for handling electrostatically
sensitive components.
· Discharge yourself electrostatically before fitting or re
moving components in order to protect the components against discharges of static electricity.

2. MPA pneumatic modules
Please note
Handle all modules and components of the CPX terminal with great care. Please note especially the following:
· Screws must be fitted accurately (otherwise threads will
be damaged). Screws must be fastened at first only by hand. Place the screws so that the self−cutting threads are used.
· The specified torques must be observed.
· Screw connections must be fitted free of offset and
mechanical tension.
· Check the seals for damage (IP65).
· Connecting surfaces must be clean (to ensure sealing
effect, avoid leakage and contact faults).
Dismantling the electronic module
1. Use a screwdriver with a narrow blade to loosen the fastening screws of all valve or blanking plates and remove the plates from the sub−bases.
2−8
2. Loosen the screws with which the electronic module is fastened to the sub−base.
3. Pull the electronic module upwards out of the body of the sub−base.

Please note
Before fitting, check the condition and position of the following seals:
 the sealing lip of the electronic module  the ring seal of the electrical contacts  the flat seal of the valve plates or blanking plates.
1. Place the electronic module in the sub−base.
2. Tighten the screws of the electronic module with
0.2...0.25Nm.

3. Then fit
the valve plates or blanking plates. Check the seals of the valve or blanking plates for damage. Replace seals if they are damaged.
4. Make sure that the seals are seated correctly. The flat seal between the sub−base and the component must be seated in the recess in the component. The ring seals between
the electronic module and the component are conical. The ring seals must be fitted on the guide pins of the components so that the cone slides easily into the appropriate recess in the electronic module (seeFig.2/3).
5. Place the components on the sub−base.
6. Screw the components at first only slightly and then tighten with 0.2
... 0.25 Nm.

3.1 Components of an I/O module

All I/O modules consist of three parts:
 The sub−base provides the electrical connections in the
form of different sockets or terminal strips.
 The electronic module contains the printed circuit board
with the electronics and the LED display of the I/O mod ule. The electronic module is fitted into the sub−base and is connected to means of electric plug connectors.
 The manifold sub−base as the lower part of the housing
provides the mechanical and electrical link between the module and the valve terminal.

3.2.3 Connecting the cables and plugs to the sub−bases
Sensors and actuators must be connected to the CPX I/O modules only at the sub−bases. In this way, e.g. when an elec tronic module is replaced, the plugs and cables remain fitted in the sub−base.
Warning
Sudden unexpected movement of the connected actuators and uncontrolled movements of loose tubing can cause injury to human beings or damage to property.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work, switch off the following:
 the compressed air supply  the operating and load voltage supplies.
Festo P.BE−CPX−EA−EN en 0705f
The protection class of the I/O modules depends on the
sub− base used as well as on the plugs and protective caps used. Instructions can be found on the following pages and in the Appendix A.6.
Use plugs and cables from the Festo range for connecting sensors and actuators (see Appendix A.10).
