Festo Motion Control Package (FMCP)

The Festo Motion Control Package (FMCP) is an advanced robot control system designed to manage coordinated motion for up to six axes, offering an integrated solution for various robotics motion controller applications. This system supports H, T, 2D, and 3D Festo standard gantry systems, making it ideal for diverse industrial automation needs.

With its ability to streamline cartesian motion applications, the FMCP allows for quick configuration and integration using function blocks or AOIs compatible with multiple controller brands. Each package comes equipped with servo drives featuring safety circuits, a power supply, and a gateway to your preferred fieldbus. All components are prewired, tested, and certified, ensuring that they are ready for immediate use upon arrival.

The FMCP also provides smart automation solutions with pre-programmed gantry configurations (1D, 2D, 3D, T, and H), utilizing standardized function blocks that simplify the PLC/controller architecture and significantly reduce programming efforts.

Additionally, the fully integrated handling application interface facilitates multi-axis control with interpolated motion capabilities and seamless fieldbus integration. The system is designed for ease of use, requiring no configuration for the handling function block.

Key Benefits of the FMCP:

  • Advanced Robotics Motion Controller: Control multiple gantries with a single Festo kinematic controller.
  • Complete Control Options: Supports EthernetIP and ProfiNET for comprehensive control without extra configuration.
  • Safety and Reliability: Prewired channels for safe operation with STO, safety status, and IO signals.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Invest in the Festo Motion Control Package for improved efficiency and precision in factory automation.
  • Integrated Interface: Multi-axis control with interpolated motion and fieldbus integration.

Cartesian motion applications can be configured and integrated quickly with function blocks or AOIs for various controller brands. FMCP comprises servo drives with safety circuit, power supply, gateway to the fieldbus of your choice and circuit protection; all prewired, tested and certified to work on arrival at your facility. HGO with FMCP offers control, motion, and handling as an integrated package.
