All kinds of valve functions can be programmed flexibly and controlled via motion apps. The Festo Motion Terminal combines the functions of more than 50 individual components, thus hugely simplifying the engineering process and greatly reducing the number of hardware components. Machine and equipment manufacturers can use entirely new platforms and modular designs. Equipment operators gain competitive advantages thanks to flexible and adaptive systems, data transparency, communication capabilities, outstanding process reliability and simpler operation of complex machines.
At ACHEMA, Festo will showcase the Festo Motion Terminal VTEM for the first time using applications specifically for the process industry. Improved energy efficiency and self-adaptation to process deviations are made possible with simple commands thanks to the software that is embedded directly at field level. There’s no need for maintenance staff to physically intervene.
