Sensor boxes that provide a reliable position feedback function, particularly with swivel drives in the field of water/wastewater treatment, and a local controller for opening and closing main valves on a manual basis, are among the new process solutions supplied by Festo South Africa.
The robust Dapz sensor boxes and DLP-VSE local controller are accompanied by the company's VAPB ball valves, which complement the Festo Copar drive series and can be fitted together with these without the need for any additional adapters or couplings. Copar swivel drives and Copac linear cylinders offer robustness, freedom from maintenance requirements and they are suitable for areas with explosion hazards. Except for end-position sensing and a compressed-air supply, these drives require no monitoring or control functions.
Festo has also launched its CPX valve terminals with Ethernet interface and TCP/IP protocol; components that allow previously manually operated valve actuators to be actuated via intelligent actuation. Even remotely located systems and valve actuators can be conveniently controlled and monitored with error diagnosis included. This provides a reliable system solution, which ensures the extremely important uninterrupted continuous operation of systems, which is essential in the process industry.
Just as in factory automation, it is impossible to imagine the process industry without the support of software tools. The free of charge Aircon software, for example, enables planners and designers to calculate the required compressed air volume on the basis of a valve actuator type and its function within the system. This is how optimally configured compressed air networks, which ensure the reliable functioning of pneumatics, are created. Services form the framework that supports a product. These include logistics services, preassembly, systems integration and component customisation.
For some years now, Festo has been continually expanding its harmonised, standard-compliant automation range with solutions for the process industry. The combination of industry-specific components and standard pneumatics produces an interesting solution concept that reflects all stages from raw material processing through to the filling and packaging of finished products. The focus here is always on an optimum symbiosis of compressed air, drive, valve and control technology for customised solutions.
The picture shows: shut-off, opening, closing and closed-loop control functions: for complex process sequences, Festo offers a wide choice of complete pneumatic solutions - from Copar swivel drives and Copac linear drives through to VAPB ball valves and the Dapz sensor box.
