Glossary
The following product-specific terms and abbreviations are used in this description:
Term/abbreviation
Description
0xA0 (A0
h
)
Hexadecimal numbers are indicated by a prefixed “0x” or by a subscript “h”.
Absolute
displacement
encoder
Displacement encoder with a fixed (absolute) assignment of measured value
(position, angle, etc.) and measured variable, for “digital” or “potentiometer”
CMAX.
Adaptation
CMAX function for automatically improving non-optimal control behaviour
during operation.
Axis string
Totality of all components and cables which are connected to the CMAX via the
axis interface.
Bus node
Provide the connection to specific fieldbuses. Transmit control signals to the
connected modules and monitor their functioning (as a CPX module: CPX bus
node).
Control interface
Connection for all modules and cables of the axis string
CPX modules
Collective term for the various modules which can be integrated into a CPX
terminal.
CPX node
Collective term for all CPX bus nodes and control blocks
CPX terminal
Complete system consisting of CPX modules with or without pneumatics.
Drive
In this description, the term “drive” represents the terms linear drive (DDLI,
DGCI), standard cylinder (DDPC, DNC, DNCI) or semi-rotary drive (DSMI).
Festo Configuration
Tool (FCT)
Software with uniform project and data management for supported types of
equipment. The special requirements of a device type are supported with the
necessary descriptions and dialogues by means of plug-ins.
Festo Handling and
Positioning Profile
(FHPP)
Communication profile for position controllers from Festo
Festo Maintenance
Tool (FMT)
Diagnostics, configuration and service software for CPX terminals
Festo Parameter
Channel (FPC)
FHPP-specific parameter access.
Functions
Special functions in the different operation modes, such as:
–
Jog mode
–
Homing run
Homing
Homing defines the homing position and thereby the origin of the measuring
reference system of the axis.
I
Digital input. From the point of view of the higher-order controller, the CMAX
status outputs are module input data (
