Decentralized automation with remote I/O: CPX-AP-I
With CPX-AP-I, you get an efficient, open and expandable remote I/O system. You can directly integrate powerful I/O modules, existing valve manifolds and a wide range of IO-Link® devices and electric actuators into the most important host systems. And based on the innovative AP system communication, the remote I/O system ensures continuous communication from the workpiece to the cloud. The ideal fields of application for the CPX-AP-I remote I/O system are uses with limited installation space, such as in assembly machines or modular machine and system designs, in handling and tool changing systems, and in moving applications where low weight and a small installation space are important. Or whenever fast manufacturing processes with real-time communication are involved. And much more.

Real-time capable: bus cycle times of up to 250 µs
Communicative: direct integration in EtherCAT, PROFIBUS and Ethernet-based networks
Powerful: up to 500 modules on one bus interface in the final configuration
Unique: direct integration of existing Festo valve manifolds
