Festo CPX-E-CEC-C1 CODESYS PLCs for Machine Automation
Festo CPX-E-CEC-C1 is a programmable controller in the CPX-E platform for machine logic, signal processing and communication with other equipment. The controllers in this category are programmed with CODESYS V3. Select a version according to your network architecture: the standard C1 controller or a model that connects to a higher-level system via PROFINET or EtherNet/IP.
Models in this category
- CPX-E-CEC-C1 — a standalone CODESYS V3 controller with an integrated EtherCAT master;
- CPX-E-CEC-C1-PN — a version with PROFINET communication for integration with a higher-level controller;
- CPX-E-CEC-C1-EP — a version with EtherNet/IP communication for machine network integration.
How to choose a Festo CODESYS PLC
- Network architecture: identify the protocols used by your equipment and the controller's role in the system. For -PN and -EP versions, check the communication requirements of the higher-level controller.
- Signal list: count the digital and analog inputs and outputs, identify sensor interface requirements and allow for future expansion.
- CPX-E configuration: match the controller with compatible modules, power supply requirements and field wiring.
- Program requirements: assess the control logic, data exchange, diagnostics and task cycle requirements.
Part of a complete control system
The CPX-E-CEC-C1 works with CPX-E system components and exchanges data through its supported interfaces. For coordinated motion applications, explore the separate CODESYS SoftMotion PLC category. Choose compatible signal channels in Festo PLC expansion modules, and see HMI panels for the operator interface.
Need help choosing a controller?
Send us your I/O list, network diagram, required protocols and machine control requirements. An ASFERO engineer can help select a CPX-E-CEC-C1 version and check component compatibility.

Which controllers are listed in this category?
CPX-E-CEC-C1, CPX-E-CEC-C1-PN and CPX-E-CEC-C1-EP. All three are C1 versions programmed with CODESYS V3.
What is the difference between C1, C1-PN and C1-EP?
The standard C1 is a standalone controller. The -PN version adds PROFINET communication, while the -EP version adds EtherNet/IP communication. Both also retain CPX-E controller functions.
Does the CPX-E-CEC-C1 support EtherCAT?
Yes. Festo specifies an integrated EtherCAT master for this series. Check the documentation of each device you intend to connect for compatibility.
When should I consider a SoftMotion PLC?
If the project requires motion control functions and coordinated axes, compare the C1 controllers with the CPX-E-CEC-M1 models in the CODESYS SoftMotion category.
What information is needed to select a controller?
Provide an I/O list, network diagram, required protocols, details of connected drives and panels, and the machine control specification.
