Intended use
The digital CPX I/O modules, CPX sub−bases and CPX pneu
matic interfaces described in this manual have been designed
exclusively for use in conjunction with CPX terminals from
Festo. The modules and pneumatic interfaces are only to be
used as follows:
Asspecified in industrial applications.
Inoriginal condition, without any modifications by the
user. Only the conversions or modifications described in
the documentation supplied with product are permitted.
Inperfect technical condition.
If additional commercially available components such as
sensors and actuators are connected, the specified limits for
pressures, temperatures, electrical data, torques, etc. must
not be exceeded.
Please observe the standards specified in the relevant
chapters and comply with technical regulations, as well as
with national and local regulations.
Warning
·In order to provide the electric power supply, use only
PELV circuits as per IEC/DIN EN 60204−1 (Protective
Extra−Low Voltage, PELV).
Take into account also the general requirements for
PELV circuits as per IEC/DIN EN 60204−1.
·Use only power packswhich guarantee reliable electrical
isolation of the operating voltage as per IEC/DIN
EN60204−1.
By the use of PELV power units, protection against electric
shock (protection against direct and indirect contact) is
guaranteed in accordance with IEC/DIN EN 60204−1
(electrical equipment of machines, general requirements).

Diagnosis via thefield bus or anetwork
Depending on the parameterization, CPX I/O modules and
CPX pneumatic interfaces register specific faults via the field
bus or your network.
These can be evaluated via the:
 status bits (system status)
 I/O diagnostic interface (system diagnosis)
 module diagnosis
 fault numbers.
Further information on diagnosis can be found in the
CPXsystem manual or in the manual for the bus node.
