Overview
The Festo CPV 8-station 9-pin electrical interface is a compact Sub-D connector solution for controlling multi-station pneumatic valve terminals. This electrical interface module integrates with Festo CPV valve systems to provide centralized solenoid coil control for up to 8 valve stations via a single 9-pin Sub-D connector. Ideal for retrofit applications and OEM integration, this interface simplifies wiring and reduces panel space requirements in industrial automation systems.
Key Features
- 8-station solenoid valve control via single 9-pin Sub-D connector
- Pin 1 commons – 0V return; signal pins 2–9 map to solenoids 1–8 sequentially
- 24V DC operation with integrated protection circuits for valve coils
- Polarity-sensitive design – requires correct +24V/0V supply wiring
- Compatible with standard Festo KMP connecting cables and valve terminals
- Compact modular design for space-constrained control cabinets
