2.1 Overview
The system CPX-E is a modular system for the connection of electrical periphery and designed for use in a protected
environment. A system CPX-E can be connected to a higher-order controller via a network using a bus module or
controller, or operated autonomously.
The behaviour of the system CPX-E can be adapted to the respective requirements through parameterisation.
Byaccessing the internal parameters it is possible to influence the following, for example:
– Behaviour of the outputs in the event of communication errors (Fail-safe settings)
– Behaviour following fault clearance
– Debounce times and signal extension times for digital input signals
– Force settings (force signal status)
– Operating method of the diagnostic memory
Modules CPX-E are supplied with preset parameters. You can find the module-specific parameters in the
corresponding module documentation.

Controller
A controller is used to control a system CPX-E:
– Stand-alone system controller
– Incorporation into higher-order plant controllers via integrated communication interfaces (e.g. PROFINET) or
Ethernet.
Using a controller provides the option of implementing process visualisation via CODESYS in addition to
programming.
Examples of controllers:
– CPX-E-CEC-C1-PN

2.1.3 System CPX-E

Rules for set-up
A system CPX-E essentially comprises a bus module or controller and a maximum of 10 further modules. The bus
module or controller is always positioned within a system CPX-E as the first module on the left. The other modules
can be added in any sequence.
Example set-up of system CPX-E

H-rail mounting
The modules are mounted on an H-rail 35 × 7.5 mm to EN 60715.
When selecting screws for H-rail mounting, a distance between the H-rail and the linking elements of
3 mm must be observed.
The distance between the screws for mounting the H-rail may be a maximum of 50 mm.
Mounting distances
To guarantee sufficient dissipation of heat from the modules, the following minimum distances must be observed
when mounting the system CPX-E è Fig. 2.6.

2.1.4 Power supply concept

The system CPX-E uses separate voltages to supply the electronics and sensors (UEL/SEN) and to supply outputs
(UOUT). The equivalent voltage potentials (+24 V DC and 0 V DC) are respectively connected to each other in the
terminal blocks. This enables the respective voltage to be transferred from one module to the next.
Operating voltage supply UEL/SEN
The operating voltage supply UEL/SEN to supply the electronics and sensors is fed in at the bus module or controller
and distributed internally to the entire system CPX-E by means of the linking.
Load voltage supply UOUT
The load voltage supply UOUT to supply the outputs is fed directly into the module, separately for each module
having outputs.

can also be supplied from a common voltage source. In this case, it must be possible to disconnect the
load voltage supply separately.

Forcen an input does not modify the input signal itself and cannot be observed at the relevant status LED.
Thelogical status of the input only changes internally and may be effective in a program.
2.2.3 Forcen
Fundamentals
The Forcen function permits the manipulation of signal statuses independently of the actual operating conditions.
Forcen enables input and output signals to be overwritten. Input signals actually present or changes in status by
program will be ignored. The input signals actually present and the output signals generated by the user program
only become valid again when the Forcen function is deactivated.
The Forcen function is used mainly in the commissioning phase in order to set certain signals to the desired status
for test purposes even if the wiring is not complete.
Parameterisation
In the system CPX-E, Force parameterisation is possible for:
– Digital inputs and outputs
– Solenoid coils (only in combination with CPX-E-4IOL)
– Inputs and outputs of the I/O diagnostic interface and status bits
– Analogue inputs and outputs
Forcen is enabled or disabled globally for the system CPX-E using the “Force mode” system parameter.

2.2.4 Signal status when there is a fault (Fail safe)

Fundamentals
The Fail-safe parameterisation is used to help specify the signal status which the outputs are to assume in the event
of communication errors in the network (Fail-safe status). This should establish a defined machine/system status in
the event of communication errors in the network (e.g. failure of the higher-order controller).
Parameterisation
In the system CPX-E, Fail-safe parameterisation is possible for:
– Digital outputs
– Analogue outputs
– Solenoid coils (only in combination with CPX-E-4IOL or digital outputs)
The “Fail safe” system parameter can be used to globally specify the signal status which the outputs are to assume
in the event of communication errors in the network, e.g. in the event of:
– Communication failure (network interruption, PLC failure)
– Communication stop
System parameter Settings Description
Fail safe Reset outputs (presetting) Reset all outputs
Hold last state Retain current signal status for all outputs
Assume Fault-mode value Adopt the signal status defined for the
relevant channel
Tab. 2.4
“Reset outputs” means the following:

– Monostable valves move to the initial position.
– Bistable valves remain in the current position.
– Mid-position valves go into mid-position (pressurised, exhausted or closed, depending on
valvetype).
If “Assume Fault mode value” is activated, the signal statuses defined by module parameter for the relevant channel
will take effect è Tab. 2.5.

2.2.5 Signal status in Idle status (Idle mode)

This function is only relevant for certain network protocols è Description for the respective bus module.
Fundamentals
The Idle-mode parameterisation is used to help specify the signal status which the outputs are to assume when
switching to Idle status. This should establish a defined machine/system status.
Parameterisation
In the system CPX-E, Idle-mode parameterisation is possible for:
– Digital outputs
– Analogue outputs
– Solenoid coils (only in combination with CPX-E-4IOL or digital outputs)
The Idle mode system parameter can be used to globally specify the signal status which the outputs are to assume
when switching to Idle status.

Status bits are configured like inputs. The input addresses which are to be assigned to status bits depend on the
network protocol used è Description for the respective bus module.
The status bits supply coded diagnostic information in form of 0 or 1 signals. If all bits supply a logic 0, no error is
reported.

2 Function
2.3.3 I/O diagnostic interface

For networks that do not have extensive diagnostic functions, the diagnostic information for the system CPX-E is
available via the I/O diagnostic interface. The I/O diagnostic interface enables network-independent read access to
diagnostic information, data and parameters via internal inputs and outputs (16 I/16 O).
Organisation of internal data and parameters
Internal data and parameters of the modules and of the system CPX-E are stored in a common memory area. The I/O
diagnostic interface can provide read access to individual bytes of this memory area with the aid of the function
number.
Parameters can be modified with the aid of network-specific functions, depending on the network used
è 3 Parameterisation.
Mode of operation of the I/O diagnostic interface

Detailed diagnostic information can be accessed via the I/O diagnostic interface. For example, it is possible to
ascertain on exactly which module and which channel an error has occurred. 16 input bits and 16 output bits,
through which all diagnostic data can be retrieved, are available for accessing the system diagnostics.
The addresses of the input and output bits of the I/O diagnostic interface depend on the network used
è Description for the respective bus module.
Output bits
The function number of the desired data is specified in binary coded form using the output bits O0 ... O12 of the I/O

2.3.4 Diagnostic memory

Fundamentals
The diagnostic memory is used for logging error statuses. Recording the time when errors occur and error
sequences makes it easier to find the cause of errors which are otherwise difficult to locate. Errors which occur
during operation are entered in the diagnostic memory. Depending on parameterisation, the first or the last
40entries are saved, as well as the respective time measured from the moment the power supply was switched on.
Parameterisation
Various diagnostic memory filters can be parameterised by means of diagnostic memory parameters
(è3.8 Diagnostic memory parameters (Trace parameters)). These filters can be used to suppress the recording of
certain system statuses, and to control both starting and stopping. The mode of operation of the diagnostic memory
filters is shown in the following figure è Fig. 2.21.
The mode of operation of the diagnostic memory filters

CN = Channel number
Fig. 2.21

2 Function
Mode of operation
A maximum of 40 diagnostic messages can be saved in the diagnostic memory. Using appropriate software from
Festo or using a controller CPX-E-CEC... via CoDeSys, it is possible to parameterise which messages are saved and
how these are saved, among other things. This includes how long they are stored for or the diagnostic memory
mode (“Entries remanent at Power ON”) and the memory procedure (“Run/Stop” setting). An explanation of the
major settings can be found in the following sections.
Suitable software for parameterisation can be found on the Festo Support Portal è www.festo.com/sp.
Detailed information on using the software can be found in the integrated Help function.
Memory duration or diagnostic memory mode

(“Trace parameters” > “Entries remanent at Power ON” or “Diag.Buffer – Mode”):
– “Active” or “remanent”:
The diagnostic messages remain saved when the operating voltage UEL/SEN is switched off or after a power
failure.
– “Inactive” or “not remanent”:
The diagnostic messages are lost after the operating voltage UEL/SEN is switched off or after a power failure.
Memory procedure
(“Trace parameters” > “Run/Stop 1” or “Diag.Buffer – Mode”):
– “Save first 40 entries” or “Stop after 40 records...”: (Stop after 40 entries...):
The bus module saves the first forty diagnostic messages. Additional, subsequent messages are not saved.
– “Save last 40 entries” or “Record continually...”:
Continuous saving of the diagnostic messages. After the fortieth message, the oldest message will be
overwritten.
Error end filter

(“Trace parameters” > “Fault end filter” or “Diag.Buffer – Error end”):
– “Record outgoing faults” or “Record coming/going” (record incoming/outgoing errors):
When an error occurs and is eliminated, the error number and the time of the event are recorded.
– “Do not record outgoing faults” or “Record coming only” (record incoming errors only):
The error number and the time of the event are recorded only when an error occurs. If the error is eliminated, the
time of the event will not be recorded.
2.3.5 Error classes
Possible errors of the system CPX-E are divided into three error classes (1 ... 3) with different priority, depending on
the seriousness of the error. If an error occurs, the system error LED (SF) flashes as a function of the error class in
question.
Error class Flashing sequence of the system error LED (SF) Error weighting Priority
1 1x flash, pause Minor Low
2 2x flash, pause Medium Medium
3 3x flash, pause High High
Tab. 2.17
If several errors occur together, the error with the highest priority will have precedence, in other words:
– The system error LED flashes according to the higher priority.
– The number of the error with the higher priority will be entered in the system diagnostic data under function
number 1938 (error number).
Within an error class, errors of modules with a lower module number have higher priority. That means that, within an
error class, errors on
