Controll a Festro CPX with 30x inputs, 10x outputs and 8x valves

Hi, I want to use a Festo CPX with 30x inputs, 10x outputs and 8x valves with a UR3e.
I can’t find a URCaps for this application though on Festo’s website?
Also is the number of i/o I’ve chosen compatible?
Thanks!

How does the module communicate? Based on the documentation, looks like you can get models that support MODBUS TCP which would probably be the easiest to implement on the UR, since it has MODBUS client/server built in. Wanting to run 30 inputs will obviously be more than the available 16 (ish) inputs that the UR controller comes standard with.

If you have an additional PLC, the UR can talk to that via ethernetIP or profinet and you can get a corresponding module for the Festo CPX to talk that protocol.
