Festo CPX Series Manifold Block

The Festo CPX-AB-8-M8X2-4POL is a manifold block used in the CPX automation platform to connect multiple field devices in a clean, structured way. It is designed to distribute signals efficiently while keeping wiring organised inside control cabinets or machine frames. This unit supports eight ports via M8 connectors, making it suitable for compact pneumatic or electrical setups where space is limited. It is typically used as part of a modular CPX system, allowing engineers to expand or modify I/O layouts without redesigning the entire assembly.

Notable Advantages of Buying the Festo 541256 Manifold Block CPX Series

This manifold block is built for industrial environments where reliability and neat installation are essential. The M8x2 four-pole connections provide secure signal transmission and reduce wiring errors during installation or maintenance.

• Eight M8 connection points.
• Four-pole connector design.
• Compact footprint for tight spaces.
• Explicitly designed for CPX series compatibility.
• Keeps cabling short and organised.

Product Use Cases

In real installations, this block is typically mounted directly onto CPX terminals inside automated machines or production lines. It acts as a hub for connecting sensors, actuators, and the CPX control system. Typical use cases include:

• Packaging and assembly machines
• Pneumatic control systems
• Factory automation panels
• Modular machine builds

Compact Manifold Block for CPX I/O Systems

The CPX-AB-8-M8X2-4POL fits Festo’s modular approach, in which components are selected based on function rather than fixed layouts. This makes system upgrades simpler and keeps installations flexible as production needs change. Instead of hardwiring everything point-to-point, this block helps create a structured, serviceable setup that works well in both new builds and retrofits.
