Festo Controller CPX-E
The automation system CPX-E is a high-performance control and automation system focusing primarily on motion control functions for handling technology. It comprises individual function modules that allow a very flexible system structure. Depending on the combination, the automation system CPE-X can be configured and used purely as a remote I/O system or as a control system.
The controllers for the automation system CPX-E are powerful and have comprehensive PLC functions. They have an integrated EtherCAT master for communication with other products such as
motor controllers. There is support for SoftMotion, depending on the variant. SoftMotion is apowerful software library for simple and complex motion controlapplications.All controllers have an integrated bus interface; an additional bus module for connection to higher-order controllers is not required.
