The MPA-S/MPA-F valve terminal has been designed ex
clusively for controlling pneumatic actuators. The maxi
mum values specified in the section “Technical specifica
tions” must be observed here. Detailed information can be
found in the Pneumatics Manual P.BE-MPA-... or
P.BE-MPAF-...
Warning
SSwitch off the power supply before connecting or
disconnecting plugs (otherwise this could lead to
functional damage).
SUse only power units which guarantee reliable
electrical isolation of the operating voltage as per
IEC/DIN EN 60204-1 Observe also the general
requirements for PELV power circuits as per
IEC/DINEN60204-1.
Please note
Commission only a valve terminal which has been fitted
and wired completely.

2 Multipin connection
2.1 Multipin socket
Caution
The components of the valve terminal contain electros
tatically sensitive elements. The components will be
damaged if you touch the contact surfaces of the plug
connectors and if you do not observe the regulations
for handling electrostatically sensitive components.
Long signal cables reduce the immunity to interference.
Do not exceed the maximum permitted signal cable
length of 10 m.
Recommendation:
Use the following 25-pin multipin socket with cable from
the Festo range of acessories for connecting the MPA valve
terminal with multipin connection:
Multipin socket with cable

VMPA-KMS2-8-...

Maximum 8 valve solenoid coils
can be actuated.
Maximum 24 valve solenoid coils
can be actuated.

1) 0 V for positive-switching control signals; 24 V for negative-
switching control signals; mixed operation is not permitted.

Festo MPA...-MPM-VI 2017-12d English6
3 Controlling the valve terminal
Use a uniform method of control. Preferably, all control
signals should be positive-switching (1-switching), other
wise all control signals negative-switching (0-switching).
Mixed mode control is not permitted.
3.1 Address assignment of the valves
– Assign the addresses in ascending order without gaps
(see example).
– Addess assignment does not depend on whether
blanking plates or valve plates are fitted.
– Depending on the electronic module, a valve location
occupies the following number of addresses:
Number of
addresses
Electronic module
MPA 1 MPA 2
one address VMPA1-MPM-EMM-4VMPA2-MPM-EMM-2
two addresses VMPA1-MPM-EMM-8VMPA2-MPM-EMM-4
– If an electronic module occupies 2 addresses, the
following applies:
– pilot solenoid 14 occupies the lower-value address;
– pilot solenoid 12 occupies the higher-value address.

Festo MPA...-MPM-VI 2017-12d English 7
Example of address assignment
Caution
Note that addresses may be shifted if the valve terminal
is extended at a later stage.
In the example an MPA valve terminal with the folllowing
components is addressed:
Components MPA 1 MPA 2
Sub-bases 2 (8 valve locations) 2 (4 valve locations)
Electronic module 1 VMPA1-MPM-EMM-8
1 VMPA1-MPM-EMM-4
1 VMPA2-MPM-EMM-4
1 VMPA2-MPM-EMM-2
For controlling the valves, each valve solenoid coil (referred
to in the following as coil) is assigned to a certain pin of the
multipin plug.
