By the use of PELV power units, protection against electric shock (protection against direct and indirect contact) is guaranteed with the Festo controllers in accordance with EN 60204-1/IEC 204. Safety transformers with the adjacent symbol must be used for supplying PELV networks. The con- trollers must be earthed to ensure that they function correctly (e.g.

In the design of the SEC-ST, great importance has been placed on high resistance to interference. For this reason indi- vidual function blocks are electrically isolated from each other. Signal transmission within the SEC-ST is carried out by an opto coupler. 3-11 Festo SEC-ST-48-6-P01-EN en 0111NH...
3. Installation Measures for complying with EMC guidelines If correctly fitted and if Festo cables are used for all the con- nections, the controllers of the SEC-ST product family will comply with the regulations specified in the technical stan- dards EN 50081-2 (interference emission) and EN 61000-6-2 (resistance to interference).

The connected motor may perform a step at this stage. For this reason we recommend that the motor be disconnected from the load in order that a test run can be carried out. Festo SEC-ST-48-6-P01-EN en 0111NH...
When the Step+ button is pressed, the stepper motor turns in a clockwise direction (view of motor shaft of Festo stepper motors type MTR-ST...). It thereby increases its rotational speed step by step. When the Step- button is pressed, the stepper motor turns in the opposite direction.
