8 Installation
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
• For the electrical power supply with extra-low voltages, use only PELV circuits
that guarantee a reinforced isolation from the mains network.
• Observe IEC60204-1/EN60204-1.
Damage to the device due to non-approved potentials at the pins
• Power connection: do not connect pin3 to high or low potential
(24VDC/0VDC).
• Logic connection: do not connect pin2 and 3 to high potential if pin 1 is not
supplied with 24 V DC.
1. Connect the cables to the [Logic] and [Power] connections of the integrated
drive EMCS-ST.
2. Connect cables to the controller or IO-Linkmaster and to the PELV fixed power
supply units.

9 Commissioning
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to unexpected movement of components.
• Protect the positioning range from unwanted intervention.
• Keep foreign objects out of the positioning range.
• Perform commissioning with low dynamic response.
WARNING!
Severe, irreversible injuries from accidental movements of the connected actu-
ator technology.
Unintentional movements of the connected actuator technology can result from
exchanging the connecting cables of a servo drive or between servo drives.
• Before commissioning: All cables must be correctly assigned and connected.
WARNING!
Danger of burns from hot housing surfaces.
Metallic housing parts can reach high temperatures during operation.
Contact with metal housing parts can cause burn injuries.
• Do not touch metallic housing parts.
• After the power supply is switched off, let the device cool down to room tem-
perature.
9.1 Commissioning: DIO operation (digital I/Os)
Preparation
1. Check the mounting of the drive system.
2. Check wiring of power supplies [Power], [Logic] and digital I/O (DIO) [Logic].
Processing
1. Switch on load voltage.
2. Switch on logic voltage.
3. Wait for initialisation until LED C/Q lights yellow.
4. Parameterise (optional): Velocities (Speed In/Speed Out), Force/Torque
(Force), Reference End Position Ref (Reference) or Start Press Position PosStart
Press (Start Press) è 10.3 Display and operating components (HMI).
The drive system is ready for operation and can be controlled via the DIO control
interface (digital I/O). With the first motion task and after every restart, the posi-
tion of the reference end position "Ref" is re-initialised (drive first moves to the
reference end position "Ref" before the actual motion task is executed), LED C/Q
lights green.
– Control end-to-end operation è 10.5 End-to-end operation.
9.2 Commissioning: IO-Link operation
Preparation
1. Check the assembly of the drive unit.
2. Check the wiring of the power supplies [Power] and the IO-Link interface
[Logic].
3. Install the application software.
4. Open IODD file in the application software èwww.festo.com/sp.
Processing
1. Switch on load voltage.
2. Switch on logic voltage via IO-Link master.
3. Wait for initialisation until LED C/Q lights yellow.
4. Establish IO-Link connection with the drive system.

5. Parameterise (optional):
– Velocities (SpeedIn/SpeedOut), Force/Torque (Force), Start Press Posi-
tionPosStart Press (PositionStartPress) and End Position LimOut (End Posi-
tionOut) è 10.5 End-to-end operation.
– Reference end position"Ref" (Reference)è 10.4 Homing.
The drive system is ready for operation and can be controlled via the IO-Link inter-
face. With the first motion task and after every restart, the position of the refer-
ence end position "Ref" is re-initialised (drive first moves to the reference end
position "Ref" independently of the motion task before the actual motion task is
executed), LED C/Q flashes green.
– Control end-to-end operation è 10.5 End-to-end operation.
10 Operation
WARNING!
Danger of burns from hot housing surfaces.
Metallic housing parts can reach high temperatures during operation.
Contact with metal housing parts can cause burn injuries.
• Do not touch metallic housing parts.
• After the power supply is switched off, let the device cool down to room tem-
perature.
10.1 Master control
– Lowest priority: DIO operation (after Power ON and initialisation)
– Medium priority: IO-Link operation (after established IO-Link communication)
– Highest priority: HMI operation (unlocked pushbuttons)
10.2 Dimension reference system
The correct positioning of the drive requires a defined dimension reference sys-
tem.
Linear drive system
– Ref: reference end position (reference point for LimIn, LimOut, PosAct and PosStart Press)
– motor facing (default)
– motor facing away
– LimIn/LimOut: end positions
– MechIn/MechOut: mechanical stops
– PosAct: current position
– PosStart Press: start press position
Tab. 2 Dimension reference system for linear drive systems
10.3 Display and operating components (HMI)
The display and operating components (HMI) can be used to perform the follow-
ing functions in the HMI menu:
– Unlock pushbutton actuators (Unlock HMI), press and hold for 3s 
(Condition for IO-Link operation: IO-Link parameter 0x000C.4 = false)
– Menu function with pushbutton actuators select (selecting menu),
press
– Parameterise setpoint values Speed Out, Speed In and Force
(Set value: 10, 20, ..., 100%of maximum value è 13 Technical data) and
save (Save), press
– Parameterise the position of the reference end position "Ref" (Set Ref) and
run the homing movement MovRef (StartRef: PosActèLimInèLimOut),
press
– Run Start Press movement (Start/Stop) and save Start Press Position PosStart
Press (Save), press
– Execute Demo Run (Start/Stop)
– Lock pushbutton actuators (Lock HMI), press and hold for 3s or no push-
button actuator input for 15s
– Reset to factory setting, press and hold , and simultaneously for 10 s
Fig. 8 HMI menu
10.4 Homing
During homing, the positions of the mechanical stops MechIn/MechOut are determ-
ined in order to calculate the end positions LimIn (Ref)/LimOut for the dimension
reference system.
Before the homing run is carried out, the drive is de-energised for a required re-
initialisation. Then the power supply is restored and the homing process starts.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to unexpected movement of components.
When starting the homing run, the drive is disconnected from the power supply
for a short time. This can cause unexpected movements of the connected mechan-
ics and crush parts of the body.
• Bring moving parts of the connected mechanical system into a safe position.
• A new homing is only necessary if the reference end position Ref or the usable
range is changed.
• When homing, the Start Press Position PosStart Press is equated with the new
end position LimOut.

10.5 End-to-end operation
In end-to-end operation with or without press function, the unit can be moved
between the end positions LimIn/LimOut.

Automatic Saving of Device Data
Changes to device data are automatically saved permanently (flash memory). The
flash memory is designed for 100,000 write cycles. Frequent changes to the
device data (e.g.when using the device for positioning tasks via IO-Link) can
cause damage to the device.
Every time the logic voltage is switched on, the position of the reference end posi-
tion"Ref" is re-initialised with SpeedRef with the first motion task. When moving
to theLimOut end position, theLimOut end position is approached at
theSpeedOut velocity.

11 Malfunctions
"Warnings and Errors" diagnostic messages are displayed by the LED C/Q and
menu and parameters LED displays.
In DIO mode, errors are reported to the controller via the sensor signal combina-
tion "1–1".
Errors can be reset as follows:
– DIO mode èreset of logic voltage
– IO-Link operation èparameter "Quit Error" (0x0029.3 or 0x0107.0)
The first error that occurred is always displayed.

1) Maximum value for Speed In/Speed Out at level10
2) Maximum value for force at level10
3) The force is controlled and evaluated by regulating the motor current. Depending on the mechanism of the
drive, a linear force can be determined from the level of current measured. The target is set as a percent-
age of the rated motor current and may deviate from the actual force on the axis. In the case of low force
levels, the influence of friction in the system on the running behaviour and the actual force on the axis
must also be taken into account.
4) Distance (MechIn – LimIn or MechOut – LimOut)
