Designated use
The motor controller (Single Field Controller) type SFC−DC−...
serves as a position controller and position servo for the elec
trical mini−slide type SLTE−....
This manual deals with the basic functions of the SFC−DC and
the I/O interface of the SFC−DC−...−I0. Additional information
on field bus variants of the SFC−DC can be found in the corre
sponding separate manuals.
The electric slide SLTE and additional components are docum
ented in separate operating instructions.
It is absolutely necessary to observe the Technical safety
instructions" as well as the designated use of the relevant
components and modules. Please observe also the safety
instructions in the operating instructions for the pneumatic
components used.
The SFC−DC and the connectable modules and cables may
only be used as follows:
inaccordance with designated use
 only in industrial applications
 without any modifications by the user. Only the conver
sions or modifications described in the documentation
supplied with the product are permitted.
infaultless technical condition.
If additional commercially−available components such as sen
sors and actuators are connected, the specified limits for
pressures, temperatures, electrical data, torques, etc. must
not be exceeded.
Please observe the standards specified in the relevant
chapters and comply with technical regulations, as well as
with national and local regulations.

Safety instructions
When commissioning and programming positioning systems,
you must observe the safety regulations in this manual as
well as those in the operating instructions for the other com
ponents used.
The user must make sure that nobody is in the operating
range of the connected actuators or axis system. Access to
the possible danger area must be prevented by suitable
measures such as protective screens and warning signs.
Warning
Electric axes can move suddenly with high force and at
high speed. Collisions can lead to serious injury to human
beings and damage to components.
Make sure that nobody can gain access to the operating
range of the axis or of other connected actuators and that
no objects lie in the path of the axis while the system is still
connected to a power supply.
Warning
Faults in parametrization can cause injury to people and
damage to property.
Enable the controller only if the axis system is correctly
installed and parametrized.
