Motion Apps

The functions of the Motion Terminal are performed by what are known as Motion apps. A Motion App
generally executes a pneumatic task such as pressure regulation, flow control or the controlled accel-
eration and braking of a movement.
Motion App #01 "Directional control valve functions", which is part of the basic equipment of the
Motion Terminal, is described in this document:
è 2.6 Motion App #01: Directional control valve functions.
Additional Motion apps are each described in separate documentation è www.festo.com/sp.
2.4.1

Motion App ID

Each Motion App has a unique ID. This ID is required both to select and to parameterise the Motion
App. The respective ID is given in the Motion App documentation.
2.4.2

Licences

To be able to use a Motion App, a corresponding licence must be stored on the Motion Terminal con-
troller. For Motion Apps #3, #4 and #11, the number of licences required for each app is based on the
desired number of valves on which the Motion App should run simultaneously. All other licences are
always valid for the entire Motion Terminal. Motion App #01 "Directional control valve functions" is
licensed as standard for all valves on the Motion Terminal. It is therefore possible to run a different
directional control valve function on each of the maximum 8 valves of a Motion Terminal.
If, for example, Motion App #03 "Proportional pressure regulation is to be run on 3 valves at the
same, there must be 3 licences stored for this Motion App .
The number of licences stored on the Motion Terminal and the number that are free (not in use by an
active Motion App) can be viewed on the WebConfig interface.
The licences are not assigned to a particular valve slot. Each licensed Motion App can be run on any
valve. The restrictions relating to the number of licences only apply in respect of running a Motion App
simultaneously on multiple valves.
