III. Guarantee
Licensing contract
1. Festo guarantees that the software program which it has
produced conforms with the description of the application
and program specifications, but not that the functions con
tained in the software operate completely free of faults and
interruptions or that the functions contained in the software

holder has the right to demand an appropriate reduction in
the usage fee or to terminate the contract.
4. The guarantee period is 3 months and begins with the

Designated use
With this manual and the appropriate software, the user who
is familiar with positioning systems, can program and com
mission single and multi−axis applications with the SPC200
Smart Positioning Controller.
The software package consists of the WinPISA program and
an extensive help system.
WinPISA stands for the programming, commissioning and
service for pneumatic and electric axes under Microsoft
Windows).
The user programs are generated in accordance with the
specifications of DIN 66025.
WinPISA can be completely removed from computers, on
which it is no no longer required, using an uninstall program.
The SPC200 and the peripherals which can be connected to it
are documented in their own manuals. The safety information
and description of intended use given in these manuals MUST
be followed.
Please observe the standards specified in the individual
chapters, as well as local and national laws and regulations.

Safety instructions
When commissioning and programming positioning systems
with WinPISA, you must at all costs observe the safety regula
tions listed in the system manual for the SPC200 as well as in
the operating instructions for the other components used.
The user must make sure that nobody is in the operating
range of the connected actuators or axis system. The area of
possible danger must be protected using suitable measures
such as barriers or warning signs.
Warning
Pneumatic and electric axes move with great force and at
high speed.
Collisions can lead to serious injury or to damaged compo
nents.
Make sure that nobody can place his/her hand in the oper
ating range of the connected actuators or axes when the
system is connected to a source of power (i.e. compressed
air, supply voltage).
Warning
Faults in parametrizing can cause injury to human beings
and damage to property if the controller is enabled with a
1−signal at the ENABLE input.
Enable the controller only if the axis system is correctly
installed and parametrized.

Warning
If the tubing of your axis system has been incorrectly
connected and you enable the controller, the drive will
move at high speed and high acceleration into an end posi
tion, depending on the value of the supply pressure (con
trol direction swapped). This can lead to serious injury and
damage to components.
Always check the tubing before enabling the controller
with a 1−signal at the ENABLE input.
Checking that a program contains no syntactical errors is no
guarantee of error−free operation. When commissioning posi
tioning systems the user must therefore reckon with sudden
uncontrolled movements of the axes.
Target group
This manual is directed exclusively at technicians who are
trained in control and automation technology and who have
experience in installing, commissioning and diagnosing pro
grammable logic controllers (PLC), positioning systems and
field bus systems.
Service
If you have any technical problems, please contact your local
Festo Service.

Current information on WinPISA
Please note
Observe the current information in the file README.TXT in
the subdirectory \BIN of the WinPISA installation directory.
This manual contains the information necessary for operating
WinPISA version 4.5x (4.51 or 4.5).
WinPISA version 4.51 is downwards−compatible and supports
all SPC200 Smart Positioning Controllers with operating sys
tems as from version 3.8x. Some correspondingly marked
functions are only available as from operating system version
4.93, 4.90, 4.82 or 4.63.
Information on operating system version 4.82 can be found in
the system manual for the SPC200 type P.BE−SPC200−... .
Please note
Projects and files created with WinPISA version 4.51 can
also be processed with earlier WinPISA versions. The fol
lowing restrictions apply:
 With WinPISA 4.5: Project contains no settings for error
messages via fieldbus and for behaviour at stop.
 With WinPISA 4.41: Project contains no DeviceNet2 field
bus module (none of the revisions in Operation System
Version 4.90 not contained in Version 4.82 are sup
ported),
 with WinPISA 4.31: Project contains no extended NC
syntax and no standard cylinder type DNCI−... (all modifi
cations to operating system version 4.82 compared with
version 4.63 will not be supported),
 with WinPISA 4.1a: Project contains no new NC com
mands or extended NC syntax, no standard cylinder type
DNCI−... and no swivel module type DSMI−... (all modifi
cations to operating system version 4.82 compared with
version 4.63 will not be supported).
