1.1 Positioning with electric drives
The Single Field Controller type SFC−DC with I/O interface
enables positioning of the connected electric mini−slide type
SLTE−... in a max. of 31 position sets (+reference run) with
separately adjustable speeds, accelerations and deceler
ations. The permissible positioning range can be limited by
means of software end positions.
The position sets can be used to move the axis to either an
absolute position, or by a specified distance relative to the
last target position.
Parametrizing with a PC is possible via the RS232 interface
with the FCT software package. The optional control panel
with display and four operating buttons enable the para
metrization of positions, speeds, accelerations and deceler
ations directly on the drive (see also section 1.3).
Coupling to a higher−order PLC/IPC can be accomplished via
digital inputs/outputs (SFC−DC−...−IO) or with the appropriate
product variants via the field bus (in preparation: DeviceNet,
CanOpen, PROFIBUS−DP).
For positioning systems Festo offers accessories suited to the
drive packages and linear drives (see Festo delivery program
or catalogue).
