Warning
Sudden unexpected movements of the connected actua
tors and uncontrolled movements of loose tubing can
cause injury to human beings or damage to property.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work,
switch off the following:
the compressed air supply
the operating and load voltage supplies.
Please note
Handle all modules and components of the MPA valve ter
minal with great care. Please note especially the following:
The specified torques must be observed.
Electrostatically sensitive components
Do not therefore touch any contact surfaces.
You can fit the MPA valve terminal in one of two ways:
Fitting onto a hat rail The valve terminal is suitable for fitting
onto a hat rail (support rail as per EN
50022). There is a guide groove on the
back for hanging the valve terminal onto
the hat rail.
Please note
Fit the MPA valve terminal so that there is sufficient space
for heat dissipation and ensure that the maximum limits
for temperatures are observed (see Technical specifica
tions").
Caution
When fitting onto a hat rail, observe the details on vibra
tion and shock in the technical specifications in Appen
dix A.
A hat−rail fitting without a hat−rail clamping unit is not
permitted.
· If the terminal is fitted in a sloping position or if it is sub
jected to vibration, secure the hat−rail clamping unit
additionally
− against sliding down and − against unintentional
loosening or opening with the locking screws (see
Fig. 2/1, item 2)
In order to fit the valve terminal onto a hat rail you will require
the following mounting kits:

Caution
MPA valve terminals can become distorted and therefore
damaged if they are mounted on an uneven pliable sur
face.
· Fit the MPA valve terminal only onto a flat fixed surface.
Overstressing the fastening holes, bending the MPA valve
terminal with CPX terminal or internal vibrations can cause
damage.
· If the MPA valve terminal has more than 5 sub−bases,
use additional wall brackets of type: VMPA−BG−RW. The
supply units have threaded holes to enable the wall
brackets to be fitted.
· In these cases use the additional fastenings for the CPX
terminal (see instructions in the manual for the CPX sys
tem).
1. Make sure that the fastening surface is flat and can sup
port the weight of the MPA valve terminal (weights see
Appendix A).

Contents of this chapter This chapter describes the tubing and cabling of the MPA
valve terminal. The following in particular belong here:
Caution
Non−filtered or incorrectly lubricated compressed air will
reduce the service life of the valve terminal.
Caution
Too much residual oil in the compressed air will reduce the
service life of the valve terminal.
If bio−oils are used (oils with synthetic ester or true ester
basis, e.g. rape oil methylester) the residual oil content
must not exceed 0.1 mg/m3 (see ISO 8573−1 class 2).
If mineral oils are used (e.g. HLP oils as per DIN 51524
parts 1 to 3) or corresponding oils on a polyalphaolefine
basis (PAO), the residual oil content must not exceed 5
mg/m3 (see ISO 8573−1 class 4).
You will thereby avoid functional damage to the valves.
Caution
Operation with lubricated compressed air will cause the
service life lubrication, which is necessary for non−lubri
cated operation, to be washed out."
Caution
Incorrect additional oil and too much residual oil content in
the compressed air will reduce the service life of the valve
terminal.
Use Festo special oil OFSW−32 or the other oils listed in
the Festo catalogue (as per DIN 51524−HLP32, basic
viscosity 32cST at 40 °C).
The additional lubrication must not exceed 25 mg/m3
(ISO 8573−1 class 5).
Make sure that the lubricator setting is correct (see fol
lowing section)
You will thereby avoid functional damage to the valves.
Setting the lubricator: with the machine running (typical operating status) 0.2 to
max. 1 drop/min. or 0.5 to 5 drops/1000 l air.
Checking the setting: The procedure described below can be used for checking the
setting of the lubricator.
Proceed as follows:
Warning
Sudden unexpected movement of the connected actuators
and uncontrolled movements of loose tubing can cause
injury to human beings or damage to property.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work,
switch off the following:
the compressed air supply
the operating and load voltage supplies.

3.3.1 Pilot control of the valve solenoid coils (auxiliary pilot air)
Internal auxiliary pilot air If the supply pressure lies between 3 ... 8 bar, you can oper
ate the pilot control of the valve solenoid coils with internally
branched auxiliary pilot air. In this case, the auxiliary pilot air
in the pneumatic interface or in the MP sub−base is branched
from supply channel 1.
Please note
· Internal auxiliary pilot air is branched centrally from sup
ply connection 1 in the pneumatic interface
or MP sub−base for all valve solenoid coils. This also
applies if the MPA valve terminal is operated with differ
ent pressure zones (see Figs. 3/4 and 3/5).
Auxiliary pilot air If the operating pressure lies below 3 bar or above 8 bar, pilot
control of the valve solenoid coils must be operated with ex
ternal auxiliary pilot air. In this case, the auxiliary pilot air is
supplied externally via pilot connection 12/14.
Please note
· Use regulated external auxiliary pilot air.
(3 ... 8 bar). Reliable faultless operation of the MPA valve
terminal is then possible, even with fluctuating operat
ing pressure.
· The external auxiliary pilot air is supplied centrally via
pilot connection 12/14 on the pneumatic interface or MP
sub−base for all valve solenoid coils. This also applies if
the MPA valve terminal is operated with different pres
sure zones (see Figs. 3/4 and 3/5).
· Set the external auxiliary pilot air to correspond to the
operating pressure with which these valves are operated
(see diagrams).

Please note with MPA valve terminals which are operated
with internal auxiliary pilot air and which have several
pressure zones:
· The auxiliary pilot air is branched centrally from supply
connection 1 of the pneumatic interface or the MP sub−
base for all valve solenoid coils (see Figs. 3/4 and 3/5).

Please note
Valve plates with Ident. code N, K, H (2 x 3/2−way valves) and
D (2 x 2/2−way valves) are not suitable for vacuum or low
pressure operation if they are supplied via connection 1.
· Operate these valves in a separate pressure zone.
· The operating pressure for this pressure zone must be
set as shown in the diagram in Fig. 3/2.
Please note
· Use blanking plugs to seal all connections not required
for the functioning of the MPA valve terminal.
Please note
If the MPA valve terminals are fittted with large surface−
mounted silencers, the exhaust from channels 3, 5, 82 and
84 will be vented through the surface−mounted silencer.
Connection 82/84 on the supply unit is then sealed with a
blanking plug.

Warning
Use only power units which guarantee reliable isolation of
the operating voltages as per IEC 742/EN 60742/VDE 0551
with at least 4 kV isolation resistance (Protected Extra Low
Voltage PELV). Switch power packs are permitted, provid
ing they guarantee reliable isolation in accordance with EN
60950/VDE 0805.
Please note:
By the use of PELV power units, protection against electric
shock (protection against direct and indirect contact) is guar
anteed with the Festo valve terminals in accordance with EN
60204−1 / IEC 204. Safety transformers with the adjacent
symbol must be used for supplying PELV networks. The devi
ce must be earthed to ensure that it functions correctly (e.g.
EMC).
Please note
Check within the framework of your EMERGENCY STOP
circuit, to ascertain the measures necessary for putting
your machine/system into a safe state in the event of an
EMERGENCY Stop (e.g. switching off the operating voltage
for the valves and output modules, switching off the com
pressed air).
Please note
Earth your MPA valve terminal.
· Connect the earth connection on the left−hand end plate
or on the MP sub−base (see diagram) with low impe
dance (short cable with large cross−sectional area) to the
earth potential.
· Please note the supplementary instructions on the MPA
valve terminals with CPX terminal in the CPX system
manual.
In this way you can avoid faults due to electromagnetic
influences and ensure electromagnetic compatibility in
accordance with EMC guidelines.

Contents of this chapter This chapter describes the commissioning of the MPA valve
terminal. The following in particular belong here:
Eliminating faults
Warning
If the build−up in pressure of the auxiliary pilot air is too
slow or delayed, this may cause the actuators to perform
sudden unexpected movements under the following condi
tions:
If the compressed air is switched on with a safety
start−up valve (slow build up of pressure) and
when there are electric signals (e.g. after EMERGENCY
STOP).
This can cause damage to the machine or system and even
injury to human beings.
· Operate the valve terminal with external auxiliary pilot
air (3 ... 8 bar). Branch the auxiliary pilot air in front of
the safety start−up valve (see diagram).

Please note
Before commissioning the MPA valve terminal, note the
specifications concerning the medium, see section Pilot
control of the valve solenoid coils (auxiliary pilot air)" in
the chapter Installation."
Warning
Before actuating the manual override:
Uncontrolled actuation of the valve solenoid coils can
cause the actuators to perform sudden unexpected move
ments which may cause injury to human beings and dam
age to property.
· Disconnect the power supply for the valve solenoid coils
from the relevant connections on the MPA valve ter
minal.
You will thereby avoid undesired actuation of the valve
solenoid coils.
Before switching on the power supply:
During commissioning, manual override functions which
are in the switched state can cause actuators to perform
sudden unexpected movements. These movements can
cause injury to human beings and damage to property.
· Make sure that all manual override actuations are in
their basic positions.
You will thereby avoid undefined switching states of the
valves.
Proceed as follows:
Warning
Before checking the valve−actuator combination:
Make sure that nobody is in the danger zone.
Please note
Incorrect actuation of the non−locking manual override can
lead to malfunctioning or damage to the manual override.
· Use a screwdriver (blade width max. 2.5 mm) for actuat
ing the manual override.
· Actuate the manual override with only max 25 N.
Please note
In the case of manual overrides with−
out a cap, do not turn the pressed−
down plunger as otherwise the ma
nual override will lock.
Hold the plunger of the manual over remains in the switch position

override to the starting position). Ident. code J))
Please note
A valve which has been switched by an electric signal (in
switch position), cannot be reset to the basic position
when the manual override is actuated. The electric signal
is dominant in this case.
· Reset the electric signal before actuating the manual
override.
Please note
The locking actuation of the manual override is only poss
ible if a manual override cap is not fitted.
· Then turn the plunger in an anti− moves back to the basic position

Features of the MPA valve terminal with CPX terminal de
pend on the type of electronic module fitted, e.g.:
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Switching off the valve power supply at all poles
You must observe the instructions in the manual for the
CPX I/O modules if you wish to fit an electronic module of
a different type.
Recommendation:
Replace only with electronic modules of the same type.
Please note
Before fitting, check the condition and position of the fol
lowing seals:
the seal of the electronic module
the ring seal of the electrical contact
the cord seal of the valve plates or blanking plates
Caution
Replace an electronic module only by an electronic module
of the same type.
You can then avoid problems in controlling the valve
solenoid coils and damage to the electrical contacts.
Proceed as follows:
Please note

Please note
Mixed operation of the MPA valve terminal with internal
and external auxiliary pilot air is not intended. Irrespective
of the available pressure zones, all valve solenoid coils of
the MPA valve terminal are supplied with the same auxili
ary pilot air.
You can ascertain the pilot control variant, for which your
MPA valve terminal is equipped, by the following features
(see table).
For operating the pilot control with Pilot connection 12/14 is marked on the pneumatic
external auxiliary pilot air interface or on the MP sub−base and is open.
The auxiliary pilot air is supplied externally via pilot
connection 12/14.
Pressure zone separation is permitted.
Unused connections must be sealed.
For operating the pilot control with Pilot connection 12/14 is not marked on the pneumatic
internal auxiliary pilot air interface or on the MP sub−base and is closed.
The auxiliary pilot air is branched internally from con
nection 1.
Pressure zone separation is permitted.
Unused connections must be sealed.

Please note
The MPA valve terminal with MP connection can be fitted
with max. one seal for pressure zone separation. The left−
hand pressure zone is supplied via the MP sub−base; the
right−hand pressure zone via a supply plate which is situ
ated next to the right−hand end plate.
3. Remove all valve plates and blanking plates and then all
electronic modules (see section Dismantling valve plates
or blanking plates")
4. Fit all the valve plates and blanking plates again (see sec
tion Fitting valve plates or blanking plates").
