Product Description
The Festo VPPX is a proportional valve from the VPPM series featuring a freely configurable PID controller and an external sensor input, enabling even customer-specific tasks to be easily realised for maximum flexibility and optimal process quality . With multi-sensor control via cascade configuration, adjustable control characteristics through the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT), and an integrated pressure sensor with separate output that maintains pressure if the controller fails, this 3-way valve delivers high-performance proportional pressure regulation for demanding industrial applications .
Key Features & Advantages:
Freely Configurable PID Controller: Programmable, freely adjustable PID controller allows precise tailoring of control behaviour to specific application requirements, enabling optimal performance in complex controlled systems .
External Sensor Input for Higher Process Quality: Multi-sensor control via cascade control cancels out friction, hysteresis, and leakage, enabling engineers to build faster and more accurate machines while significantly enhancing process quality and efficiency .
FCT Software Adjustable Control Characteristics: Control characteristics are easily adjustable via the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT), which features pressure curve displays for internal or external sensors, inverted setpoint value specifications, and real-time oscilloscope monitoring of setpoint value, initial pressure, and external sensor signals .
Integrated Pressure Sensor with Separate Output: Built-in pressure sensor provides independent output for monitoring, and pressure is maintained in the controlled system if the controller fails, ensuring safe operation .
High Flow Capacity up to 7000 L/min: Available with large nominal widths up to NG12, delivering flow rates up to 7000 L/min while maintaining precise regulation characteristics .
