Overview of the CTEL system
The CTEL master module enables devices with an I-Port interface (I-Port devices) to be connected to
a CPX system. Up to 4 devices per CTEL master module can be integrated into the CPX system.

A CTEL system consists of the CTEL master module and the devices that are connected to the CTEL
master module via specified I-Port connecting cables. In this way, it is possible to decentralise the ar
rangement of the devices. The compact valve terminals and I/O modules with I-Port can thus be moun
ted very close to the cylinders to be controlled. This means that the length of the air supply lines can be
reduced.
Short compressed air lines minimise the friction losses and the times for pressurising and exhausting
the tubes.
This enables smaller valves with sufficient flow to be used, thereby helping to reduce costs.
