Festo – GDCP-CMMP-M3-RP-EN – 1206NH 7
1.2 Overview
The Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) is the software platform for configuring and commissioning different
components from Festo. A plug-in with all of the necessary descriptions and dialogues is available for
the special requirements of these components. The system components are configured with the help of
these plug-ins. The entire configuration for all of the individual components is summarised and stored
in an FCT project.
The plug-ins for various components are available in several versions. In order to use the updated ver-
sion of the plug-ins the original FCT project needs to be converted.
Use of a CMMP-AS-...-M3 motor controller as a substitute for a CMMP-AS unit in your system requires
the installation and use of CMMP-AS plug-in version 2.0.x.
1.3 Prerequisites
A motor controller CMMP-AS-...-M3 entire system is shown in Fig. 1.1 page 8.
To replace the motor controller with an older model, you will need the following:
– Motor controller CMMP-AS-...-M3 as a replacement device for CMMP-AS
– Card module for CMMP-AS-...-M3 in slot Ext3:
– Micro switch module CAMC-DS-M1 without STO function or
– Safety module CAMC-G-S1 with STO function,
– 24 VDC power supply for logic supply to the motor controller,
– PC with USB or Ethernet interface and corresponding connecting cable,
– Installed software plug-in CMMP-AS from version 2.0.x.
Depending on the initial situation you will also need Tab. 1.1:

– an RS232 interface on the PC for the
CMMP-AS and a corresponding con-
necting cable.
1. Upload from the CMMP-AS to
the project with plug-in 2.0.x.
2. Convert controller in the FCT.
3. Mount and install new
CMMP-AS-...-M3.
4. Download the project to the
CMMP-AS-...-M3
The previously used
CMMP-AS is non-op-
erational.
– FCT project with the configured
component of the existing
CMMP-AS,
– Installed CMMP-AS plug-in (version
1.0.x … 1.4.x) which has been used
in the FCT project to date to config-
ure the CMMP-AS,
– Installed software “Festo FCT Pro-
ject Converter”.
