Festo Clean Design pneumatic components completely fulfil the hygiene requirements of machinery for the pharma industry. These pneumatic cylinders, valves and valve terminals are made of corrosion-resistant materials with totally smooth surface finish. The associated connectors have no exposed threads. Edges, corners and small cavities have been avoided. The Clean Design components are further equipped with field-bus connections. The DeviceNet field bus is used to connect up CDVI-DN valve terminals in a way which saves a great deal of installation work and also offers diagnostic facilities. Result: It is possible to implement preventive maintenance in the form of a condition monitoring system for the number of valve switching cycles completed. To meet customer-specific needs, Festo also offers CDVI-PL valve terminals with Powerlink. Powerlink is a time-synchronous variant of Fast Ethernet which even provides Festo’s corrosion-resistant valve terminals with a real-time capability, allowing them to be used for time-critical applications.
