2.3 Industrial Security Note Festo provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks. In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept.
Protective grounding terminal (green-yellow) as PE+ contact The specified protection class and safe use will be achieved, if laboratory safety cables supplied by Festo Didactic are used. Notice The device might not include all the laboratory safety sockets shown above. Further safety sockets may be included in the training setup.
Catastrophes as a result of foreign bodies and vis major. Festo Didactic herewith rules out any liability for damage or injury to trainees, the training company and/or other third parties which may occur during the use/operation of the system other than purely in a training situation, unless such damage has been caused intentionally or due to gross negligence by Festo Didactic.
The CP Lab system is developed for all apprentices who want to move something. It doesn’t matter if the education is for electro- or metal profession, for mechatronics, technician- or engineer education.
4.2 Overview of the System CP Lab Conveyor, CP Factory Linear, CP Factory Shunt and CP Factory Bypass are called basic modules. If an application module, e.g. the CP Application Module press is attached to a basic module, it becomes a station.
On the basic frame, there are coupling sensors for an easy communication with other directly connected CP Lab conveyors. At the start and at the end of the CP Lab conveyor, there are capacitive sensors which recognize the pallet on the CP Lab conveyor. ...
4.4 Stopper unit The stopper unit is located in the middle of the CP Lab conveyor. The carrier runs over the extended stopper unit. The screw (pos. 1 picture below) runs into the slot of the carrier. At the end of the slot the carrier is stopped.

Electirc connection application module If an application module is connected to the CP Lab conveyor, the cable that is hardwired to X11 is plugged into the SYS-Link connector of the I / O terminal. If the application module has an analogue interface, the analogue terminal is plugged into the rear XZ2 board at interface X5.

5.4.1 Pneumatic Commissioning The mechanic mounting has to be completed and finished. At first, the CP Lab conveyor has to be connected to the pneumatic system of the room. The required service unit has to be provided by the customer and should be in the immediate vicinity of it.
The following description for the attachment to a basic module CP Lab Conveyor is an example for all basic modules and all application modules. Positioning slot nuts in the cross profiles of the basic module CP Lab Conveyor Mounting the CP application module is very easy: ...

Attaching the application module to the basic module CP Lab Conveyor Put the CP application module on the basic module CP Lab Conveyor. Position the slot nuts (2) underneath the mounting brackets (1) of the CP application module so that the internal threads of the slot nuts are visible underneath the elongated holes of the mounting brackets.

Use raised head screws M5x8, in order to connect the mounting brackets (1) of the CP application module Measuring, at first loosely, with the cross profiles (2) of the basic module CP Lab Conveyor. After setting all raised head screws, you can still move the CP application module to the position required.
Connect the I/O terminal (2) of the CP application module with the control (3) of the basic module CP Lab Conveyor. Therefore use the connecting cable with SysLink plugs (5) which has already been attached to the control and is led out on the back side of the basic module CP Lab Conveyor. Electrical connections...

Connect the analogue terminal (1) of the CP application module with the D-Sub-interface for analogue signals (6) on the rear board of the basic module CP Lab Conveyor. Therefore use the provided connecting cable (4) with standard D-Sub plugs: 15-pin, two-rowed.
Design and function 5.6.1 Electrical Commissioning Now the CP Lab conveyor has to be supplied with electric power (24V). The external power supply has to be connected as follows: 0V to XZ2 clamp 1 24V to XZ2 clamp 2 PE to XZ2 clamp 4 The appliances are connected to the other corresponding clamps.
Design and function 5.6.2 Modus switch Independent if the Festo Didactic IO-Link-DA-Interface is used as IO-Link-Device or an field bus node, the wiring of the I-Port-interface hast to be changed. This is done by the circuit board: Switch position: Lower position 1=CTEU: A field bus node can be set on the Festo Didactic IO-Link-DA-Interface.
5.7 Commissioning For the CP Lab conveyor, an initial start-up has been made ex works. Please follow the following instructions in order to be able to work with CP Lab conveyor as well as with a possibly present application: 1. CP-L-CONV with 36 V DC motor: Connect the power supply 230 V AC for the power supply unit and connect the 24 V supply cable of the module.

There might be deviations with other applications. 6.1 Menu structure of the CP Lab screen Position Description Menu designation (main menu or submenu) OR in case of an active error or an error message, this field also serves as a...
Components 7.2.1 Control systems The control unit regulates all processes as well as the communication in the CP Lab conveyor. Different control systems can be used. It is possible that a I/O Terminal is installed instead of an controller. ET200SP with CPU1512...
8.1 Extension with an active corner In order to make a circulation of several CP Lab conveyors, it is possible to assemble the CP Lab conveyors in the rectangle and to connect the conveyors with active corners. A motor drives the corner and the carrier is transported to the following CP Lab conveyor.
8.2 Extension with a passive corner In order to achieve a circulation from several CP Lab conveyors, it is possible to assemble the CP Lab conveyor in the rectangle and to connect the conveyors with passive corners. The corners are equipped with balls which enable the carrier to be transported without drive to a further band mounted at a right angle.
Components 8.3 Robotino docking extension To dock a robotino to a CP Lab conveyor, a small profile construction is necessary. The necessary sensors are already available on the conveyor. Although they are not disassemled, the inputs of the coupling sensors are now used for the coupling of the robotinos.
Service and cleaning 10 Service and cleaning The components and systems from Festo Didactic are largely maintenance-free. At regular intervals you should have checked: the lenses of the optical sensors, fibre optics and reflectors the active surface of the proximity switch ...
