Festo VTSA-F-CB-AP Valve Terminal (Product No.: 8130722)  High-Flow Valve Terminal with Serial Communication, CPX-AP-A Remote I/O, PROFIsafe & Performance Level d (PLd) Safety Malaysia Supplier

Product Description
The Festo VTSA-F-CB-AP is a high-performance valve terminal that combines the flow-optimised VTSA-F pneumatic platform with the advanced CPX-AP-A automation system, featuring serial backplane communication (type CB – Communication Bus) . This Type 46 terminal 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 . The CPX-AP-A interface enables real-time Ethernet-based fieldbus communication with a single IP address for all connected modules, while integrating PROFIsafe safety functionality up to Performance Level d (PLd) according to ISO 13849-1 .

Key Features & Advantages

• CPX-AP-A Automation System Integration: The pneumatic interface connects a CPX-AP-A automation system to the VTSA-F-CB valve terminal . All AP-based modules share a single IP address, simplifying commissioning and enabling smaller, more cost-effective PLCs. The system supports remote I/O with IP65/IP67 protection directly on the machine.

• Serial Backplane Communication (CB): Unlike standard VTSA terminals which feature parallel communication, the VTSA-F-CB-AP has serial communication between the CPX-AP-A module and the pneumatic valves, drastically reducing wiring and enabling advanced diagnostics and functional integration . The interface is colour-coded to prevent mixing with VTSA-FB parallel communication modules .

• Integrated PROFIsafe Safety Functionality: The terminal can implement safety concepts up to Performance Level d (PLd) 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. The CPX-FVDA-P2 is an approved component for VTSA-F-CB pneumatic interfaces .

• 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. Flow rates range from 700 l/min (18 mm) to 4,000 l/min (65 mm). Up to 32 valve positions or 96 solenoid coils are possible, with arbitrarily configurable pressure zones via connection plates .

• Modular Design with CPX-AP-A Slots: All pneumatic interfaces have a CPX-AP-A module slot, allowing all CPX-AP-A modules (bus nodes, I/O modules) to be inserted directly . The terminal is compatible with CPX-AP-A system modules including bus nodes and I/O modules.

• IP65/IP67 Protection with Robust Construction: Achieves IP65/IP67 protection in assembled state, making it suitable for harsh, washdown environments. Features a robust metal housing made of powder-coated die-cast zinc and aluminium alloys, RoHS-compliant and LABS (PWIS)-conforming to VDMA24364-B2-L .

• Comprehensive Diagnostics & Integrated Functions: Extended diagnostic functions via CBUS communication with LED status display (module diagnostics MD, load power supply PL) . Integrated functions include soft-start valves for safe pressure build-up, pilot air switch valves, and vacuum generators with energy-saving circuits.

• Wide Range of Valve Functions & Pressure Zones: 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 .

• Non-Lubricated Operation & Low Maintenance: The valve is maintenance-free when used with non-lubricated compressed air. Lubricated operation is not permitted .

• No Corrosion Stress Construction: Rated with Corrosion Resistance Class (CRC) 0 – No corrosion stress, ensuring exceptional durability for use in harsh industrial environments .

• Wide Ambient Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -5°C to +50°C ambient temperature, with storage temperature from -20°C to +60°C, ensuring consistent performance across various industrial conditions .

• c UL us, RCM & KC Certified: Carries c UL us - Recognized (OL), RCM compliance mark, and KC EMC certifications, ensuring safety and reliability for North American, Australian, and Korean industrial applications.

• CE Marked for EMC & ATEX: Meets EU EMC Directive, EU Explosion Protection Directive (ATEX), and EU Machinery Directive (for safety function).

• RoHS Compliant & LABS Conformity: Manufactured without restricted hazardous substances, meeting stringent environmental compliance standards and VDMA24364-B2-L for paint-wetting impairment substances.
