Commissioning

Festo – GDCP-CMMO-ST-EA-SY-EN – 1301a – English

5.4.2

Starting the FCT

1. Connect the CMMO-ST to your PC via the Ethernet interface (

section 5.2.5).

2. Start the FCT:

double click the FCT icon on the Desktop

– or –

In the Windows menu [Start], select the entry [Festo Software] [Festo Configuration Tool].

3. Create a project in the FCT or open an existing project. Add a CMMO-ST to the project:

menu [Components] [Insert].

Instructions on parameterising and commissioning

FCT framework

Information on working with projects and on inserting a device in a project can be found in the help for

the FCT framework with the command [Help] [Contents FCT general].

Plug-in CMMO-ST

The plug-in CMMO-ST for the FCT supports processing of all the steps necessary for commissioning a

CMMO-ST. The necessary parameterisation settings can be performed offline, i.e. without the CMMO-ST

being connected to the PC. This enables preparation for the actual commissioning process, e.g. in the

design office when a new system is being planned.

Additional information can be found in the plug-in help: command [Help] [Contents of

installed plug-ins] [Festo (manufacturer name)] [CMMO-ST (plug-in name)].

Device control / master control

When the CMMO-ST is switched on, the I/O interface is activated as standard.

Caution

Unexpected movements of the drive due to incorrect parameterising

•

Make sure there is no active ENABLE signal when switching on the CMMO-ST on the

I/O interface.

•

Parameterise the entire system completely before activating the output stage with

ENABLE.

In order for the FCT to control the connected CMMO-ST, the I/O interface of the CMMO-ST must be

deactivated and control must be enabled for the FCT. The status of the ENABLE I/O input then has no

effect.

•

To do this, go to the “Project output” window, select the “Operate” tab and, under “Device

Control”, activate the “FCT” check box.

This deactivates the I/O control interface of the CMMO-ST and sets the controller enable for the FCT.
