Modular control system CPX-E
Powerful!
Powerful control
In addition to comprehensive
PLC functions right up to multiple
axis applications with interpol-
ation, the CPX-E can be easily
integrated into existing host sys-
tems. This is made possible by
the EtherCAT® master interface,
the integrated PROFINET device
interface or the EtherNet/IP slave
interface. The OPC UA client and
server functions ensure easy
integration and interoperability
in Industry 4.0 host environ-
ments with cloud and digitalisa-
tion concepts.
Complete solution for a large
number of applications
CPX-E features specic software
functions tailored to products
and solution packages from
Festo, for example:
• Handling technology
− Parts handling
− Assembly systems
− Palletising
− Gluing, dispensing
• Complete automation
− Packaging machines (ow
wrappers)
− Palletising systems
− Selective soldering systems
− Wafer handling systems
Designed as an EtherCAT® master controller and motion controller
with protection to IP20, the powerful automation system CPX-E for
factory and process automation with NE21-specic certications is
becoming the central control system for handling technology. Seve-
ral bus modules are available for the conguration as a compact and
low-cost remote I/O.
• High performance (dual
core 766 MHz, 512 MB
RAM)
• EtherCAT master interface
• Bus slave interfaces
− PROFINET
− EtherNet/IP
• USB interface
• SD card interface
• Optional display
• CODESYS V3 as of Service
Pack 10
• Motion functions such as
SoftMotion
• UL/CSA, C-Tick, IEC Ex
certications

Modular control system CPX-E
System advantages
• Standardised CODESYS
programming interface.
• CPX-E provides a complete
answer to customer tasks,
whether universal or Festo
system solution.
• Signicantly reduced engin-
eering workload: we offer you
integrated data management in
combination with the Automa-
tion Suite software.
�� Extended software functions
for seamless integration and
easy actuation of electric
drives from Festo.
System overview
CPX-E: Individual modules and components
Automation system for factory and process automation
• Standardised, integrated plat-
form for consistent combi-
nation of servo technology
and stepper motor technology.
Ideal for smooth mixed oper-
ation, and an identical ap-
pearance for the customer
interface.
• All motion control functions
are embedded into the control-
ler world.
• High I/O component density.
• Easy mounting on H-rail.
Input/output modules and bus
modules
Control units
• Digital input modules (16DI)*
• Digital output modules (8
DO/0.5 A)*
• Analogue input module (4 AI
current/voltage)
• Analogue output module (4 AO
current/voltage)
• IO-Link® master modules (4
channels)*
• Counter module (1 channel)
*For process automation applica-
tions, these modules meet the inter-
ference immunity requirements in
accordance with NE21 for process
and laboratory control equipment.
The EtherNet/IP module
CPX-E-EP also supports the
Modbus/TCP protocol.
Depending on the module com-
bination, the system can be con-
gured and used as a purely
remote I/O system (with bus
module) or as a control system
(with control unit).
The control units are currently
available in two versions.
1. Controller CPX-E-CEC-C1-PN:
The C1 variant is a powerful
CODESYS V3 control unit with
comprehensive PLC functions,
but with no specic motion con-
trol functions.
2. Motion controller
CPX-E-CEC-M1-PN:
The M1 variant is a motion cont-
roller that supports SoftMotion
in addition to CODESYS V3. Soft-
Motion is a powerful software
library for simple and complex
motion control applications and
includes:
• PLCopen Parts 1 and 2
• Robotics (PLCopen Part 4)
• Cam disc editor
• CNC editor (dxf le import)
The PN variants can be integrated as
slaves on PROFINET. EP variants for
EtherNet/IP will also be available
from the end of 2018.
