On our YouTube channel Festo Service, you will find practical and user-friendly video tutorials on topics that are the subject of frequently asked questions in the areas of maintenance, commissioning and repair.

The products are shipped with an unsafe configuration of the integrated CODESYS Runtime environment. In this case no default password is set to the CODESYS PLC and therefore access without authentication is possible.

With a successful established connection to the CODESYS Runtime the PLC-Browser commands are available. Thus granting the possibilities to e.g. read and modify the configuration file(s), start/stop the application and reboot the device.

Incomplete Festo product documentation of remote accessible functions and their required IP ports. Depending on the product a description of the supported features can be found in the product documentation to some extent.

Festo developed the products according to the respective state of the art. As a result, the protocols used no longer fully meet today's security requirements. The products are designed and developed for use in sealed-off (industrial) networks. If the network is not adequately sealed off, unauthorized access to the product can cause damage or malfunctions, particularly Denial of Service (DoS) or loss of integrity.

This application note describes how to use the host function blocks of the CMMT Servo Drives from Festo & integrate them in Siemens SIMATIC Manager with S7-300 PLCs through Profinet network

The following documentation describes how a CMMT receives a value over an “R-Variable” from the Sinumerik control. That value is used as set position.

When 2 physical axes are rigidly coupled together by the load or other means (examples: gantry system X/X' coupled by a Y-Axis or 2 x ESBF rods attached), then it is necessary to synchronise/Gear these axes with an electronic alignment (Master to Slave).

This application note discusses the required settings to control the 2 x parallel linear axes in Synchronous Position Absolute mode using CMMT-AS-xx controllers.

It also discusses ways to implement monitoring of Slave faults and
Error situations based on the “Cross wire monitoring”

Any PLC could be used for the control. Rockwell is just an example.

When 2 physical axis of are mechanically connected together by the

load or other means (examples: gantry system X/X' coupled by a YAxis
or 2 x ESBF rods attached), then it is necessary to synchronise
these axis with an electronic alignment (Master to Slave).
