MPA Valve Manifolds
MPA valve manifolds can be easily modified and expanded from individual valves and multiple connection plates, to fieldbus valve terminals - designed for easy integration with the CPX. With total modularity and flexibility, MPA offers a highly cost-effective serial bus for controlling valves with up-to 64 solenoids. Valve terminals can be reconfigured and expanded easily, on the spot if required.
