Product Description
The Festo VTSA F CB is a high performance valve terminal in the VTSA series, distinguished by its serial backplane communication (type CB – Communication Bus) and integration of safety related functions . It supports up to five different valve sizes (18 mm to 65 mm), delivering flow rates from 700 l/min up to 4,000 l/min, with a maximum of 32 valve positions or 96 solenoid coils . Featuring a robust metal housing, PROFIsafe capability for performance level d (PLd) safety applications, up to 4 independent voltage zones (including 3 safety voltage zones), and comprehensive compatibility with CPX electrical terminals, the VTSA F CB is a flagship solution for demanding safety applications in large industrial automation systems .
Key Features & Advantages
Serial Backplane Communication (CB): Unlike standard VTSA terminals, which feature parallel communication, the VTSA F CB has serial communication between the CPX module and the pneumatic valves – drastically reducing wiring and allowing for advanced diagnostics and functional integration .
Integrated PROFIsafe Safety Functionality: The terminal can implement safety concepts up to Performance Level d (PLd) according to ISO 13849-1 via PROFIsafe and the CPX FVDA P2 output module. This allows the creation of up to 4 voltage zones (with 3 safety voltage partitions) for safe shutdown of specific machine sections .
High Flow Capacity with Five Mixable Valve Sizes: Supports 18 mm, 26 mm, 42 mm, 52 mm and 65 mm valve sizes on one valve terminal (with adapters for 65 mm). Flow rates range from 700 l/min (18 mm) to 4,000 l/min (65 mm) .
No Lubricated Operation Required & IP65/IP67 Protection: The valve is maintenance free when used with non lubricated compressed air. It achieves IP65/IP67 protection in the assembled state, making it suitable for harsh, washdown environments .
Comprehensive Diagnostics & Integrated Functions: Integrated functions include soft start valves for safe pressure build-up (with integrated pressure sensor and internal bus connection), pilot air switch valves, and vacuum generators with energy saving circuits. Diagnostics are available via CPX and LEDs on the valves .
Large Valve Function & Pressure Zone Range: Supports all common 5/2, 5/3 and 2x3/2 valve functions. Up to 32 valve positions or 96 solenoid coils are possible, with arbitrarily configurable pressure zones via connection plates .
Modular Design & Easy Installation: Individual valves can be replaced on site; unused positions can be sealed with blanking plates. Wall mounting or H rail mounting (EN 60715) is possible. The terminal is assembled and tested by Festo for immediate installation .
High Flexibility via CPX Electrical Terminal: The VTSA F CB is designed for combination with the CPX electrical terminal, enabling connection to all common industrial Ethernet protocols (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT) via exchangeable bus nodes .
Wide Ambient Temperature Range & Robust Construction: Operates from -5°C to +50°C, with a robust metal housing made of powder coated die cast zinc and aluminium alloys, RoHS compliant and LABS (PWIS) conforming to VDMA24364-B2-L .
