Festo emphasizes process industry solutions at Automation Fair

By Mary Gannon | November 15, 2021

Festo introduced several new products at Automation Fair last week, including the KDFP online configurator for quarter turn actuators and the CMSH smart positioner with HART communication.

 

Quick and easy online configuration for quarter turn actuators – the KDFP. Festo also offers the KVZA for configuring butterfly valves and the KVZB for ball valves.

Festo also featured such process industry solutions as the VTSA-F-CB pneumatic valve manifold for PLd, (up to CAT 3 for PUS) safety; the CPX-MPA modular valve terminal for maximum valve flexibility; and decentralized I/O for less wiring, faster installation, and improved pneumatic system performance.

Festo now offers three process component online configurators – the KVZA for butterfly valves, the KVZB for ball valves, and now the KDFP for quarter turn actuators. These Festo configurators reduce the engineering time required for product specification from hours to minutes. Engineers simply enter application parameters into the tool and at the end of the configuration session the engineer receives a quote, ship date, configured product data sheets, and 2D and 3D CAD models.

Smart positioner with HART
Festo introduces the new energy efficient CMSH smart positioner with HART communication for process valves. Because of its high airflow rate, the CMSH is suitable for both large and small actuators in such applications as dosing, mixing, and filling. The CMSH offers extensive integrated functions for self-monitoring and diagnostics with clear recommendations for corrective action.

The Festo VTSA-CB-F valve terminal achieves safe applications with minimal effort for plug-and-play functionality with the Rockwell Automation ecosystem.

A single valve terminal for multiple safety zones
The VTSA-F-CB delivers up to Performance Level (PL)-d Category 3 for preventing unexpected start-up. The serial “C-Bus” plug-and-play integration lowers component costs and simplifies and accelerates the installation of pneumatic safety circuits, which are specifically for safe exhausting and preventive start-up. The VTSA-F-CB can dramatically reduce the number of components and time required to assemble a range of safety circuits. The solution provides Rockwell OEMs and end users the ability to control valves with safe switched power zones and to monitor integrated sensors for monitoring  feedback via Ethernet/IP.

Control of 2 position or 3-15 psi process valves with CPX/MPA/VPPM
The CPX-MPA valve terminal offers every standard valve function, including the cost/space saving dual 3/2 types. This is ideal for control of single acting process valves. Additionally, the VPPM can be used to control 3-15 psi variable position valves. The combination of MPA and VPPM valves are electrically connected via a serial bus to EtherNet/IP, via the Festo CPX modular peripheral system. Using the CPX-MPA/VPPM valve terminal, OEMs can integrate on/off and variable position valves via a single Ethernet IP drop for less cost and quicker installation and startup.

A 2019 Reddot award winner for product design, the CPX-AP-I remote pneumatic I/O system improves the performance of mixed valve terminals and I/O systems.

New generation decentralized I/O
The new CPX-AP-I decentralized I/O system offers plug-and-play installation of over 80 I/O modules (2k of data), with cable lengths of 50 meters between modules bringing valves closer to actuators and improving response time. The system can export an L5X file for easy commissioning and parameterizing of the I/O.

Festo is a Silver-level Rockwell Technology Partner and has been an authorized Rockwell Automation supplier for more than 20 years.
