Overview CTEL system
Festo can assist you in solving your automation task at the machine level with the aid of valve terminals
and I/O modules.
The CTEL master module from Festo permits connection of devices with an I-port interface (I-port
devices) 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 master
module over specified I-port connecting cables. In this way, it is possible to decentralise the arrange
ment of the devices. The compact valve terminals and I/O modules with I-port can thus be mounted
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.
