Festo Parameter Channel (FPC) for cyclical data (I/O data)
The “Festo Parameter Channel” is used for the transmission
of parameters. It offers the following advantages:
Component
Description
Parameter identifier ParID
Contains:
–
Parameter number PNU: identifies a parameter.
–
Request/response identifier (AK): describes the task/response in
the form of a code number.
Subindex (IND)
Addresses an element of an array parameter.
Parameter value (ParVal)
Value of the parameter.
If a parameter processing request cannot be carried out, a fault
number will be shown in the response telegram instead of the value.
The fault number describes the cause of the fault.
