VPPI - THE PROPORTIONAL PRESSURE
REGULATOR WITH THE REALLY BIG DISPLAY
Festo's VPPI - The proportional pressure regular with the really big display
MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 2021 - When Festo developed its new proportional
pressure regulator VPPI, it strove to make it as user friendly as it is full-featured and
technologically advanced.
How do you make a proportional pressure regulator user friendly? For one, with a
large, high definition display that makes setup and diagnosis that much easier. The
large VPPI interface
is a major benefit
for
users, saving time and simplifying
programming and fault diagnosis. A high definition liquid crystal display makes
information clear and easy to read. It is large enough to communicate using complete
words and not just abbreviations or fault codes, so there is no need to refer to a
separate operator manual. The large screen is complemented by three large function
buttons, which make the device easy to program and interrogate.
The VPPI delivers outstanding performance in various roles within the electronics,
machine tool, assembly technology and food and packaging sectors - such as
regulating pressure, testing, dispensing, press and press-fitting. Its quiet operation
also makes it ideal for desktop and laboratory applications.
Flexibility is another VPPI strength. It is possible to connect up to five VPPIs together on
a common pressure supply without the need for a separate manifold, reducing
complexity and space requirements. DIN rail and other mounting options enable
mounting flexibility. Pressure can be regulated via an analog (0 to 10V/4 to 20ma) or
digital setpoint. The digital setpoint feature eliminates the need for an expensive
analog card, with only 3 standard output signals from a master controller it is possible
to select 7 custom setpoints.
Four pre-set performance levels are also possible: for small volumes, large volumes or
continuous flow, or custom applications. The VPPI family offers the speed, accuracy,
and long service life performance features required to solve todays demanding
applications.
