Next to precision and dynamics, the current requirements to pneumatic drives in today's industrial applications lay within the availability of process data for diagnostics, process and resource optimization.
PROFINET, one network for versatile requirements in the Digital Enterprise
Festo equips its valve manifolds with Profinet to achieve the optimal communication performance. Electric, pneumatic and automation are increasingly merging together and are integrated in a company-wide consistent Ethernet-based communication in which process and diagnostic data are steadily gaining importance.
Profinet unites need for flexibility and robustness in one network and offers the optimal solution for variant applications. Integrated diagnostics, PROFIsafe, PROFIdrive , PROFIenergy and the possibility for remote access are covering all requirements
Freely available tools like PRONETA offer comfortable commissioning and diagnostics of all connected devices and provide easy possibilities for wiring check and documentation
Shorten the development time through the combination of application and communication on one single chip
Festo is a worldwide operating company in automation. Since the eighties, Festo peruses the development of pneumatic valves from valve manifolds to wholesome IP65 automation platforms. Pneumatic valve solutions are indispensable in today's automation and can be found in handling systems, Motion Control and clamping applications.
