Figuring out what Festo valve bank part number means.

[CapinWinky]

When ordering a Festo CPX valve bank, they give you one big crazy part number, like:
50E-F14GCQSER-S+N
44PN-R-U-KX-AA-4M

I need to be able to back out of this what the parts are in the valve bank for reasons that are completely idiotic* on a regular basis and my go to is to ask our Festo rep. He's on vacation and I'm a little embarrassed to keep bothering the guy over something so trivial.

*The guy that specs out the valve bank is either autistic or an a-hole and will only direct me to a system I don't have access to so I can look it up. I do have access to the line item on the PO, so I've been bypassing the bum and going direct to Festo for my answers.

Use this Festo homepage and make a search for the partnumber and use the configurator there is opned after the seatch to find the parts.

The CPX valve bank is configurable. The 50E xx is the electrical part with a fieldbus node and an input module. The 44xx is the valve part. It is rather small with four single coil 5/2 valves. There should be a six or seven digit numeric part number on the sheet you have. What is it?

+1 for configuration software or catalogue. The stuff is built to order, so the part numbers can become ridiculously long (Same as SEW gear).

Thanks for the link JERA, works great for the first section, telling me what inputs I have. I wish it would do the valve side too.

EDIT: Link for CPX with MPA valves

Your part is a VTSA valvebank. Not a MPA. See https://www.festo.com/cat/en-us_us/products_VI44_CPX_NPT
The numeric part number is 539218 which then needs to be configured.

Using the catalogue link I have deciphered the number for you.
Take a look at the pdf attachment see if it helps
