Festo Configuration Tool (FCT)
The Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) is the Windows-based software platform for configuration, paramet-
erisation and commissioning of different components and devices from Festo.
– Management of data/files via the RS232 data interface (online) or memory card
• Device data: FCT parameterisation
• Firmware file: Firmware data
• Parameter file: DCO file on memory card
– Manual operation (e.g. jog, etc.)
– Diagnostics
– Recording of measurement data
– Automatic calculation of the controller data for the selected motor-gear unit-axis combination
– Manual precision adjustment of the controller data
The FCT consists of the following components:
– a framework with uniform project and data management for all supported types of equipment
– one plug-in for every type of equipment (e. g. CMMS-AS/CMMS-ST/CMMD-AS)
The plug-ins are managed and started from the framework. They support the execution of all necessary
steps for configuration/parameterisation of the drive system and commissioning of the motor control-
ler. Parameterisation of the motor controller is executed offline (without RS232 connection) on a PC.
This enables preparation for the actual commissioning, for example in the planning office when a sys-
tem is being planned.
