3.2 Connecting the CPI/CP modules
Note
Operative malfunction due to impermissible cabling.
• When connecting the CPI/CP modules to the
CP string, only use special CPI/CP cables from Festo
(
• Please note that the total length of cable on a string
must not exceed 10 m.
In this way, you can avoid:
– faults in data exchange between the CPX-CP interface
and the connected modules.
CPI/CP modules can be connected to any CPI connection
according to the rules specified in the description for the
CPX-CP interface:
1. Check which address range is intended for the
CPI/CP module.
2. Use the CPI/CP cables to connect the CPI/CP modules
to the string which provides this address range.
3. Secure the plug and socket of the CPI/CP cable with
the union nut. In this way the electrical contact is
guaranteed.
4. Use the inscription labels (type IBS 6x10 or IBS 9x20)
to indicate the string to which the module is con-
nected.
