Designated use
The MTR-DCI motor unit is an intelligent servo motor consist-
ing of DC motor, planetary gear, encoder and integrated con-
trol electronics (positioning control and position regulator).
The mechanical layout and plug-in interface of the MTR-DCI
have been optimized for use with electric linear drives (e.g.
DMES) from Festo. The motor unit can also be used for cus-
tomer-specific positioning applications with slow spindle
drives.
This manual deals with the basic functions of the MTR-DCI
and the I/O interface of the MTR-DCI-...I0. Additional compo-
nents as well as the field bus variants of the MTR-DCI are de-
scribed in separate manuals.
It is absolutely necessary to observe the “Safety instructions”
as well as the designated use of the relevant components and
modules. Observe also the safety instructions in the operat-
ing instructions for the electric components used.
The MTR-DCI and the connectable modules and cables may
only be used as follows:
– in accordance with designated use
– only in industrial applications
– without any modifications by the user. Only the conver-
sions or modifications described in the documentation
supplied with the product are permitted.
– in faultless technical condition.
If additional commercially-available components such as
sensors and actuators are connected, the specified limits for
temperatures, electrical data, torques, etc. must not be
exceeded.
Please observe the standards specified in the relevant
chapters and comply with technical regulations, as well as
with national and local regulations.
