Reduced costs

If you are looking to reduce the

overall costs of a system you

should consider using cost-

saving and comprehensive solu-

tions such as valve terminal

technology. Thanks to fully

pre-assembled and tested units,

ordering and logistics costs are

drastically reduced.

Reduced complexity – increased

practical use

The valve terminal was the single

most decisive step in reducing

complexity and costs in automa-

tion. The benefits are:

• simple installation, configura-

tion and commissioning,

• low maintenance and service,

• very adaptable – mechanically,

pneumatically and electrically.

Created in 1989 as an innovative

idea, Festo valve terminals are

a milestone in the development

of easy to use pneumatics;

so much so that it is hard to

imagine the world of automation

without them.

Enhanced modularity and

flexibility

Made for a broad range of

applications. The individual

combination of different func-

tions on one terminal enables

precise configuration of the valve

terminal to the application.

Minimised error quota

Previously, each individual valve

and each individual component

part such as coils and silencers

had to be ordered and installed

individually. The error quota in

orders, assembly and commis-

sioning fell dramatically with the

introduction of valve terminals.

Valve terminals – offering numerous advantages

The structure of a modular valve

terminal shows why valve

terminals reduce costs: there no

longer is any need to order and

install individual components.

An example for clarification:

For a system with 200 valves,

one requires:

• 200 valves

• 200 - 400 coil plugs and just

as many cables

• 200 ports for the compressed

air supply

• 400 silencers

• 400 fittings for the working

lines

Or:

6 - 8 valve terminals, each with

25 - 30 valve slices

Past, present and future:

pioneers in the field of valve

terminal technology

Festo defined valve terminal

technology and continues to

do so. Thanks to its:

• innovation quality,

• know-how,

• excellent manufacturing

quality and

• program quality with maximum

variety worldwide

Festo is the number 1 in valve

terminal technology.

As the first supplier of IP65/67

remote I/Os for M12

inputs/outputs on the fieldbus,

Festo defined this market too.

Something that sounds quite

complicated is actually made

very easy, because only Festo

offers so many services for

simple design, commissioning

and maximum process reliability.

Valve terminals for every auto-

mation concept

Valve terminals from Festo are

ideal for all automation con-

cepts, be they simple applica-

tions or complex systems.

Thanks to remote I/O and instal-

lation systems, their bandwidth

and functionality – in practically

every conceivable application in

pneumatics, electrics and net-

working – cannot be beaten.

It’s a combination of

• maximum performance,

• very high process reliability

and

• an impressive

price/performance ratio.

The potential for minimising

overall costs in terms of the Total

Cost of Ownership (TCO) is yet

another plus.

The simple and quick solution

for these requirements is inno-

vative fieldbus technology. It

even enables the networking

of different automation compo-

nents, which is often required in

contemporary system concepts.

Total dynamics – development through Festo

Different connection techniques,

only one favourite: fieldbuses

The number of pneumatic and

electric drive and control ele-

ments is growing at a very fast

rate. With parallel wiring of ever

larger and more complex

systems and interlinked pro-

cessing centres over larger net-

worked processing cells, the

cabling is becoming immensely

complex. The number of input

and output points is driving

installation work and costs sky-

high, while the likelihood of

errors is increasing considerably.

Coded switching signals re-

present a further important

reduction in the number of wires

to the consuming devices. The

coding of the signal composition

and transmission is defined in

so-called protocols.

• Internal wiring on the valve

terminal

• Signal transmission takes

place serially via the fieldbus

connection: long distances can

be bridged

• Inputs and outputs are moved

from the control cabinet to the

valve terminal

• Ideal for complex systems and

machines with several stations

• Saves: costs, space and

installation, commissioning

and testing time

• Function integration (axis con-

troller, positioning systems,

safety technology, pressure

10

In the early 1980s, fieldbuses

represented a first and very

important step in enabling com-

munication between machines

and systems.

Nowadays, networking in control

technology has advanced signifi-

cantly and extends to the highest

levels within companies. The

central components are field-

buses and Industrial Ethernet,

which enable industrial com-

munication from the machine to

management level and vice

versa.

The control technology pyramid

Four levels of industrial commu-

nication are generally defined:

Management level

The main focus at this level is

clearly on integrated process

visualisation and tracking. It also

incorporates the interface to

production systems. In general,

complex but normally not

particularly time-critical data

packages are often transmitted

over large distances.

Control level

Synchronisation of production

processes or data within indivi-

dual processes or system parts.

This generally happens between

different PLCs.

Field level

Complex equipment and data

within a machine component or

a production segment are net-

worked using a fast and robust

bus system.

Sensor and actuator level

Very fast communication with

possbile real-time capability –

within the machine and at the

lowest control level. Digital

or analogue processing of signal

statuses and diagnostic messa-

ges of all actuators and sensors.

Performance classes and their characteristics

The speed, size, validity and availability of data vary depending on the performance

class, specific requests and technical feasibility.

Making the most of smart

advantages, e.g. diagnostics

These open communication

concepts are not only of interest

to OEMs, who need to have

solid condition monitoring and

diagnostic information to hand in

the context of service life guar -

antees, full service contracts,

or to protect against unfounded

recourse claims. They are also

of interest to end users who

depend on having the highest

level of process reliability.

Moreover, end users and opera-

tors can retrofit and integrate

these Festo systems – the infor-

mation is provided via the

standard interfaces to the higher-

order process and machine dia-

gnostics.

More efficient production using fieldbuses

Fundamental reasons for the use

of fieldbus technology include:

• reduced error quota, also

through automatic trouble -

shooting during set-up and in

operation

• improved productivity and

reduced downtimes, because

diagnostic information is

accessible from the field

devices

• reduction in installation effort

by more than 60 %

For more than 20 years, field-

buses have been revolutionising

industrial communication. In the

1980s, the technical and finan-

cial development within the

automation industry made a

new, groundbreaking technical

solution absolutely essential.

Even today, its significance

continues to grow as it results in,

for example, ever more complex,

highly networked and above all,

closely synchronised production.

• reduction in assembly expen-

diture and costs for testing

• actuation and data trans-

mission between selected

components of a system

• definable electronic control

systems enable the combina-

tion of systems

• installation and use in the

different machines and

systems

• substitute control cabinet,

as installed directly on the

machine

• improvement in cost/benefit

ratio

• permanent improvement in the

time-to-market situation

From the office to production – Industrial Ethernet

For more than 20 years, Ethernet

has revolutionised office com-

munication. This LAN technology

has become a standard in this

field.

This had also led to further inno-

vations and improvements in

productivity in production and

manufacturing.

With the combination of the

advantages of fieldbuses and

Industrial Ethernet, the second

revolution is about to com-

mence: the Ethernet can send

messages to participants of a

common line network by a kind

of wireless system.

Increased efficiency

• Manufacturing and logistics

benefit enormously from the

possibility to network commu-

nication and information flows

worldwide without huge

expense using the Internet

and/or Intranet.

• One technology for all net-

works simplifies the training of

network specialists and pro-

grammers.

• Communication is drastically

simplified – even for mixed

hardware from different manu-

facturers, such as e.g. servo-

pneumatic and electric drives,

measurement stations or

modular valve terminals.

Diagnostics

• No laborious programming of a

PLC and machine operator unit

as it is now possible to call up

diagnostic information from

the field devices.

• Remote diagnostics and main-

tenance also possible with

normal PC/browser.

IT infrastructure:

• An existing IT infrastructure

and know-how can be used

many times.

• Extremely fast data transmis-

sion up to 100 Gigabytes/sec.

• Configuration and recording

of data and controls remains

consistent, even over several

network levels.

Integrated advantages:

CPX as an example

An intelligent electrical periphery

such as the CPX terminal inte-

grates these advantages. And for

Festo valve terminals it offers

• the most up-to-date communi-

cation methods, such as field-

bus and/or Ethernet,

• comprehensive diagnostic

services,

• condition monitoring,

• pre-processing and

• the latest function integration.

• Furthermore, it is not just

uniquely modular and flexible,

but also

• independent of all PLC manu-

facturers

• and can be integrated seam-

lessly into all host systems.

CANopen

Maximum reliability and inter -

ference immunity define the

CANopen communication proto-

col, which was developed for the

automotive industry. Today, CAN

is the standard network in cars,

buses, lorries, trains and agricul-

tural utility vehicles.

Different requirements in terms

of data transmission can be

achieved via PDOs (process data

objects) and SDOs (service data

objects). PDOs are fast real-time

data, SDOs transmit parameter

data such as for example time-

out times, maskings or mapping

parameters.

MODBUS

MODBUS is based on a

master/slave (e.g. a PC), or for

more complex tasks, a client/

server architecture, and is then

used for example for measure-

ment and control systems.

It transmits data in binary format

within TCP/IP packets for a good

data throughput. MODBUS can

connect one master and several

slaves in two ways: for the serial

interface or for Ethernet.

An overview of bus technologies

PROFINET

The PROFINET protocol guaran-

tees data exchange with a high

data transmission rate, for exam-

ple real-time critical I/O data

from sensors, actuators, robot

controllers, PLCs or process

equipment. Likewise, informa-

tion on diagnostics or configura-

tions that is not real-time critical

can also be transmitted. The

Ethernet bandwidth and commu-

nications model are sufficient for

the parallel transmission of both

data types.

INTERBUS

INTERBUS works on the basis of

a master/slave access method,

whereby the bus master simul-

taneously realises the link to the

host controller or bus system.

INTERBUS has a ring topology,

i.e. all stations are active in a

closed transmission path.

INTERBUS consists of an I/O-

oriented transmission method

with a summation frame pro-

tocol. The following physical

variants of the transmission

method exist:

PROFIBUS

PROFIBUS distinguishes be -

tween active stations such as

PLCs or PCs (master devices) and

passive stations such as sensors

or actuators (slave devices).

There are three different PROFI-

BUS versions:

PROFIBUS-DP is specially

designed for communication

between automation systems

and decentralised peripheral

devices and is thus universally

suited to manufacturing auto-

mation.

PROFIBUS-PA is best suited to

applications in process automa-

tion and supports data commu-

nication and energy transfer via

the bus.

PROFIBUS FMS takes on commu-

nication tasks at cell level,

e.g. communication between

PC and PLC.

• Remote bus for longer

distances

• Local bus for communication,

e.g. in a control cabinet

• INTERBUS loop connects

components with a small

number of I/Os

EtherCAT

With EtherCAT (Ethernet for

Control Automation Technology),

the focus is placed on real-time

capability, which is why primarily

EtherCAT messages are transmit-

ted. EtherCAT is characterised by

its short cycle times and high-

precision synchronisation with

practically no jitter. From the

standard Ethernet frame sent by

the master, EtherCAT slave devi-

ces only take the data intended

for them and insert input data

while the message passes

through.

The definition of device profiles

such as CoE, CANopen over

EtherCAT was taken from existing

fieldbus technologies and inte-

grated in EtherCAT.

15

DeviceNet

The fieldbus for industrial field

devices such as limit switches,

optical sensors, valve terminals,

frequency converters and opera-

ting panels reduces the amount

of expensive individual wiring

required and improves device-

specific diagnostic functions.

DeviceNet communication on the

broadcast-oriented Controller

Area Network (CAN) meets the

extensive demands for transmis-

sion reliability and interference

immunity in vehicle construction

and also operates in large tem-

perature ranges.

Ethernet/IP

The open bus system based on

the Ethernet standard and

TCP/IP technology is one of the

most frequently used Ethernet-

based fieldbuses. It communi-

cates, for example, between the

electrical CPX terminal and the

Ethernet/IP network. The bus

node is provided with system

supply via the interlinking block

and processes communications

via the I/O modules. Access to

the data is possible directly from

the device.

CC-Link

Bus system from Mitsubishi for

high-speed communication, for

example between the electrical

CPX terminal and a higher-order

master for Control &

Communication-Link (CC-Link).

The bus node is provided with

system supply via the inter-

linking block and processes

communications via the I/O

modules.

AS-interface

For optimised working with

decentralised solutions at redu-

ced costs: the AS-interface is, at

actuator/sensor level, the ideal

complement for fieldbus systems

or industrial Ethernet. Data

and power transmission all take

place on only one cable.

Four principles – four times the choice

Nowadays smart machine con-

cepts are based on three impor-

tant cornerstones: pneumatics,

electrics and networking. Mixed

pneumatic and electrical systems

are linked for communication via

Ethernet and fieldbus protocols,

thus achieving new levels for

productivity and process reliabi-

lity. Having the right product

selection and the right machine

and installation concept is also

key if future requirements are to

be satisfied. Festo covers practi-

cally every possible option in

this respect.

The trend: function integration

The examples

CPX modular electrical terminal

For maximum modularity,

process reliability and quality.

Neutral I/O platform for mini-

mum installation effort.

Function integration yields a time saving of up to 60%!

Integrated functions:

• Comprehensive diagnostics

and condition monitoring

• Integrated IT services:

CPX web monitor for valve

terminals online

• Power supply for reliable

machine statuses

• Motion function integration

• Multi-axis interface for

electrical and servopneumatic

drives

Two valve terminals and one

electrical terminal not only work

together flawlessly, they also

offer great potential for function

integration. This is why actuator,

sensor, open and closed-loop

control technologies at Festo are

all blended together to form

autonomous systems.

These decentralised automation

solutions save entire operation

cycles, for example, in the

subordinate system and thus

permit fast processes on site.

Integrated functions:

• Comprehensive diagnostics

and condition monitoring

• Electropneumatic installation

concept for maximum function

integration

• Integrated pressure sensors

• Proportional pressure

regulators

• Electrical voltage zones for

new safety concepts

• Shut-off plate (hot-swap):

valve replacement under

pressure

• Sub-base with integrated

non-return valves

Valve terminal MPA –

modu larity redefined

MPA stands for seamless inte-

gration into control systems with

Ethernet, fieldbus, multi-pin or

individual valves.

Integrated functions:

• Integrated diagnostics concept

• Standardisation “plus”: e.g.

vertical stacking

• Safety@Festo: electrically actu-

ated on-off valve for

gradual pressure build-up

• Valves with switching position

sensing for maximum relia-

bility

• Reliability for lifting and semi-

rotary cylinders and manual

clamping devices

Standard valve terminal VTSA

VTSA – total function and

system integration through to

a complete installation solution

with maximum flow. Standard

and flexibility combined.
