Commissioning with the FCT
5.3.6
Record table
The parameters of positioning jobs are created via the FCT and saved in a record table in the form of
parameter records. A record table consists of a maximum of 31 records.
The parameter records are selected individually in the "Record selection" operating mode using the
record number.
Each parameter record consists of the following parameters:
– Record type: Positioning absolute (PA), relative to the setpoint position (PRN) or relative to the
actual position (PRA)
– Target position X and target position Y
– Speed and acceleration
– Comments (optional)
Records are parameterised exclusively via the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT).
5.3.7
Teaching
The current position can be taken over as parameters through the FCT:
1. The slide is brought to the desired position (e.g. by jogging or by hand).
2. Through actuation of the "Accept as..." button in the online tab "Manually travel", the current posi
tion is taken over into the record table as a software end position or project zero point.
5.3.8
Enable device control via FCT
To control the controller through the FCT, you must activate the device control via FCT.
• Set the "FCT" check box in the online tab "Operate".
Caution
Setting the "FCT" check box interrupts control through the control interfaces, which can
result in malfunctions in the process or damage to the system. The interfaces can only
read access the controller.
• Also set the "Enable" check box to enable the controller.
To deactivate the device control through the FCT, the check in the check box must be removed. Then the
interface set in the FCT Project takes over control again.
5.3.9
Controller identification
For identification of a specific controller from a group of several controllers:
1. Select in the menu [Component] [FCT Interface].
2. In the dialogue "FCT Interface", actuate the "Search..." button.
3. In the dialogue that appears, select a controller with the right mouse button.
4. Select the entry [Identification] [On].
– The red LED display component "Device" (è 2.8.2 LED display components) and the point of the
7-segments display (è Fig. 5.2 Controller identification) of the identified controller flash.
