5.2 Master control


The master control of the display and operating components (HMI) is controlled via the "Unlock/lock
pushbutton actuators" function. When the pushbutton actuators are unlocked, the "Display and
operating components (HMI)" interface automatically receives master control via the integrated drive
EMCS-ST. The master control returns to the active control interface digital inputs and outputs (DIO) or
IO-Link (LK) when the pushbutton lock is active again.

The function of the three pushbutton actuators / / can be blocked or enabled via the IO-Link

7.1 Safety
WARNING
Risk of injury due to unexpected movement of components.
The drive can move freely in the voltage-free state. This can cause unexpected movements of the
connected mechanics and crush parts of the body.
• Bring moving parts of the mechanical system into a safe position.

7.2 Mounting clearances


Drive systems with integrated drive EMCS-ST can be connected in series. When connecting drive
systems in series, a minimum distance must be maintained to allow the heat generated during
operation to dissipate by allowing sufficient air flow.
– Maintain a minimum lateral distance of at least 20 mm between the integrated drive EMCS-ST and
adjacent components.
– Take into account the clearance required for connecting the cables (the cables at the [Logic] and
[Power] connections can be routed upwards (straight) or laterally (angled)).
– Do not install any temperature-sensitive components near the integrated drive EMCS-ST. The inte-
grated drive EMCS-ST can become very hot during operation.
Assembly instructions
– Mount the drive system flat on a sufficiently stable mounting surface.
– Maintain minimum clearances and installation space to guarantee sufficient air flow. The ambient
air must be able to flow unhindered around the integrated drive EMCS-ST.

8.4 Connection variants

Damage to the device due to non-approved potentials at the pins


• Connection [Power]:
• Do not connect pin 3
• Connection [Logic]:
• EMCS-ST is not hot-pluggable. Only after connection of the reference potentials GND/L– [Pin 4/8]
can 24V levels be applied to digital outputs DO1/DO2 [Pin 2/3] or the IO-Link communication
signal C/Q [Pin 3].
• The DO1/DO2 [Pin 2/3] digital outputs and the IO-Link C/Q [Pin 3] communication signal must be
disconnected 100 ms before the power supply connections GND/L– [Pin 4/8] and 24 V DC/L + [Pin
1], e.g. by the interposition of relay contacts.

The connection of the integrated drive EMCS-ST depends on the "DIO operation" (digital inputs/
outputs) or "IO-Link operation" actuation mode and the connection cables (with or without adapter).
1. Connect the cables to the [Logic] and [Power] connections of the integrated drive EMCS-ST.
2. Connect cables to the controller or IO-Link master and to the PELV fixed power supply units.

Commissioning

9.1 Commissioning "DIO operation (digital I/O)"


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 mechanics and crush parts of the body.
• Bring moving parts of the connected mechanical system into a safe position.

Preparation:
1. Check the mounting of the drive system.
2. Check wiring of the power supplies and the "DI/DO" digital inputs and outputs at the [Power] and
[Logic] connections.
Procedure:
1. Switch on load voltage.
2. Switch on logic voltage (switch-on delay ≥50 ms required è 10.2.5 Switch-on behaviour).
If the logic voltage is switched on before the load voltage, the EMCS-ST starts with an error that
must be acknowledged.
3. Wait for initialisation until C/Q LED is yellow (L 7 s).
4. Select the reference end position "Ref" from the HMI interface in the ‘Reference’ menu and
start the homing movement with end position detection (only required if the reference end
position "Ref" is different from the factory setting or if the useful range has been changed). The
drive system is referenced after a successful homing.

Homing sets the Start Press "PosStart Press" position equal to the calculated useful range.
5. Parameterise operating modes via HMI interface:
Basic parameters for point-to-point operation with and without press function or manual opera-
tion (demo)
– Velocity ‘Speed Out’

Force is controlled and evaluated by closed-loop control of the motor current. A torque level or a linear
force can be determined from the level of current measured depending on the mechanism of the drive.
The target is set as a percentage of the rated motor current and may deviate from the actual force
on the drive unit. If force levels are set low, the influence of friction in the system on the running
behaviour and the actual force on the drive unit must also be taken into account.

10.2.3 Data backup ‘Data Storage’


The integrated drive supports data backup of predefined application data (identification parameters
and device data) in the connected IO-Link master. After a device replacement, the application data
saved in the IO-Link master are automatically restored to the new functionally and design identical
devices. Before transferring the application data, the compatibility of the new device is checked

Festo — EMCS-ST — 2021-08c 41


Drive system

against the device ID. The validity of the parameter values position ‘Start Press’, ‘End Position "Out"’
and ‘Intermediate position’ of the new drive system is checked with a final homing with end position
detection.
The following ‘Data Storage’ functions in the IO-Link Master can be controlled via the application
software:
– ‘Disable’:
– Data backup: no application data are saved in the IO-Link Master.
– Device replacement: the new device has the functionality and behaviour of the factory setting or
the functionality and behaviour of the last data backup in the replaced device.
– ‘Backup/Restore’:
– Data backup: every application data change is automatically saved in the IO-Link Master.
– Device replacement: the new device has the same functionality and behaviour as the replaced
device.
– ‘Restore only’:
– Data backup: the current status of the application data is saved in the IO-Link Master.
– Device replacement: the new device has the functionality and behaviour of the last manually
performed data backup in the replaced device.

Automatic data backup (‘Backup/Restore’ active) can result in very high data traffic with the IO-Link
Master and should only be activated if required.

The table shows all parameters that are transferred when data storage is executed.

Force control ‘Force’


Force is controlled and evaluated by closed-loop control of the motor current. A torque level or a linear
force can be determined from the level of current measured depending on the mechanism of the drive.
The target is set as a percentage of the rated motor current and may deviate from the actual force
on the drive unit. If force levels are set low, the influence of friction in the system on the running
behaviour and the actual force on the drive unit must also be taken into account.

10.2.8 Master control


Function
The master control specifies which interface has the authorisation to control the EMCS-ST.
During operation, only one of the following interfaces can be the master control:
– digital inputs/outputs (DIO) [Logic]
– IO-Link (LK) [Logic]
– Display and operating component (HMI)

The display and operating component (HMI) always has higher priority than the control interface
"digital inputs/outputs (DIO)" or "IO-Link (LK)" [Logic].
If the pushbutton actuator lock is released, incoming travel commands are blocked and not executed.

"Digital inputs/outputs (DIO)" or "IO-Link (LK)" master control


After switching on the power supplies and initialising the EMCS-ST, the master control is automatically
assigned to the "digital inputs/outputs (DIO)" control interface. The detection of an active IO-Link
master causes the master control to switch automatically to the "IO-Link" control interface. If the
IO-Link communication is interrupted, the master control automatically returns to the "digital inputs/
outputs (DIO)" control interface.

Timing
The diagram shows the automatic transfer of the master control between the "digital inputs/outputs
(DIO)" and "IO-Link (LK)" control interfaces.

"Display and operating component (HMI)" master control


After unlocking the pushbutton actuators (HMI), the master control is automatically assigned to the
"display and operating components (HMI)" interface. When the display and operating components
(HMI) are locked, the master control automatically switches back to the last active "digital inputs/
outputs (DIO)" or "IO-Link (LK)" control interface.

10.3.2 Homing with end position determination


10.3.2.1 Function
The connected drive must be homed to a dimension reference system in order to be able to approach
the "In/Out end positions or intermediate position" positions.
The factory settings for the reference end positions are:
– Linear drive: reference end position "Ref" facing motor
– Rotary drive: left reference end position "Ref"
Homing of the drive includes:
– Homing with end position determination
– Linear drive: determining the maximum stroke
– Rotary drive: determine the maximum swivel range
– Definition of the dimension reference system
– Definition of motion directions
– Definition of display or status information
Reference end position "Ref"
During referencing with end position determination the positions of the mechanical stops MechIn/
MechOut are recorded in order to calculate the end positions LimIn ("Ref")/LimOut for the dimension
reference system.
Before running referencing with end position determination to a new reference end position "Ref",
the drive is de-energized for a required re-initialisation. Then the power is restored and the process is
started.
Homing
With the single-turn encoder, the reference to the reference end position "Ref" in the dimension
reference system is only securely retained until a logic voltage interruption (e.g. restart, power failure)
occurs.

66 Festo — EMCS-ST — 2021-08c


Drive system

Homing with end position determination


The homing includes the following steps:
1. Travel to the mechanical stop "MechIn" (direction of selected reference end position "Ref").
2. Calculation of the position reference end position "Ref"/end position "LimIn".
3. Travel to the mechanical stop "MechOut" (opposite direction to selected reference end posi-
tion "Ref").
4. Calculation of the end position "LimOut" position.
5. Travel to the end position "LimOut" position.
After a valid homing, the drive remains position-controlled at the "LimOut" end position and the status
is set in the device data 0x0103.0 ‘Reference’. If the integrated drive is replaced or homing is repeated,
the status in the parameter 0x0103.0 ‘Reference’ is reset.

10.3.3 Simple point-to-point operation


10.3.3.1 Function
For single point-to-point operation the drive can be traversed to the target positions "end posi-
tions "LimIn/LimOut and intermediate positions PosImp" (IO-Link only). Multiple intermediate positions
can be approached consecutively. The motion for the EMCS-ST is controlled by the "digital inputs/
outputs (DIO)" or "IO-Link (LK)" at the [Logic] connection. The "In/Out end positions" positions and
the "MovIn/MovOut" directions of motion of the drive are defined by the "Ref" reference end position.
When the positioning task is activated, the drive is moved position-controlled to the specified target
position. A positioning task can be stopped and continued at any position. When the target or stop
position is reached, the drive stops position-controlled at this position.
It is controlled via the following interfaces:
– Digital inputs/outputs (DIO)
– DI1 "MovIn" [Logic, Pin 5]
– DI2 "MovOut" [Logic, Pin 6]
– IO-Link process data (LK), è 15.2.3 Process data

10.3.4 Point-to-point operation with press function


10.3.4.1 Function
In point-to-point operation with press function the drive can be traversed to the " LimIn/LimOut end
positions and PosImp intermediate position" target positions or the force/torque setpoint value ‘Force’.
Multiple intermediate positions can be approached consecutively. The motion for the EMCS-ST is
controlled by the "digital inputs/outputs (DIO)" or "IO-Link (LK)" at the [Logic] connection. The
"In/Out end positions" positions and the "MovIn/MovOut" directions of motion of the drive are defined
by the "Ref" reference end position. The press function can be activated with the "Start Press Posi-
tion PosStart Press . LimOut end position" setpoint specification. The drive is moved position-controlled
to the specified target position on activation of the MoveIn/MoveIntermediate positioning tasks. With the
"MoveOut" positioning task the "PosStart Press" Start Press Position is approached position-controlled
and then force-controlled until the force/torque setpoint value is reached or continued to the LimOut
end position. A positioning task can be stopped and continued at any position. When the end position,
intermediate or stop position is reached, the drive stops position-controlled at this position. When the
force/torque setpoint value is reached, the drive stops force-controlled.
It is controlled via the following interfaces:
– Digital inputs/outputs (DIO)
– DI1, "MovIn" [Logic, Pin 5]
– DI2, "MovOut" [Logic, Pin 6]
– IO-Link process data (LK), è 15.2.3 Process data

– IO-Link system parameters (LK), è 15.2.4 System parameters
– 0x0002 ‘Execute "Move In"’ or ‘Execute "Move Out"’
The following commands are available:
– StartIn: start or continue position-controlled travel "MovIn" to "LimIn(Ref )" end position
– StartOut: start or continue position-controlled and force-controlled "MovOut" motion to the "LimOut"
end position
– StartImp: start or continue "MovImp" position-controlled travel to the "PosImp" intermediate position
(from firmware version v19.0.4.107_release)
– Stop task: stop travel

Drive system

The diagrams show the movements in point-to-point operation


– MovOut: position-controlled movement to the end position "LimOut"
– MovIn: position-controlled movement to the end position "LimIn"
– MovImp: position-controlled movement to the intermediate position "PosImp"
– Point-to-point operation with press function, from Start Press Position "PosStart Press"
– MovOut: force-controlled movement until the parameterised force or torque setpoint value
"Force" is reached or to the end position "LimOut"
– MovImp: force-controlled motion to the "PosImp" intermediate position

Force is controlled and evaluated by closed-loop control of the motor current. A torque level or a linear
force can be determined from the level of current measured depending on the mechanism of the drive.
The target is set as a percentage of the rated motor current and may deviate from the actual force
on the drive unit. If force levels are set low, the influence of friction in the system on the running
behaviour and the actual force on the drive unit must also be taken into account.

10.3.5 Manual operation (demo)


10.3.5.1 Function
In manual operation the drive can be moved to the "LimIn/LimOut end positions" target positions.
Manual operation of the EMCS-ST is controlled by the pushbutton actuators of the control ele-
ments (HMI). The "In/Out end positions" positions and the "MovIn/MovOut" directions of motion of the
drive are defined by the "Ref" reference end position. Pressing an arrow pushbutton actuator moves
the drive to the specified end position. A positioning task can be stopped at any position by pressing
the opposite arrow pushbutton actuator. When the target or stop position is reached, the drive stops
position-controlled at this position.
The following commands are available:
– Start positioning task: start or continue "MovIn" position-controlled travel to the "LimIn (Ref )"
end position
– Start positioning task: start or continue "MovOut" position-controlled travel to the "LimOut" end
position
– Stop task: stop position-controlled travel
Manual operation supports the following tasks:
– Drive free running (e.g. after a system malfunction)
– Manual procedure for checking settings and drive behaviour

1) Force is controlled and evaluated by closed-loop control of the motor current. A torque level or a linear force can be determined from
the level of current measured depending on the mechanism of the drive. The target is set as a percentage of the rated motor current
and may deviate from the actual force on the drive unit. If force levels are set low, the influence of friction in the system on the
running behaviour and the actual force on the drive unit must also be taken into account.
Tab. 40: LED display "Parameter"

12.2 Diagnostic messages


Diagnostic messages are classified as information, warnings or errors. If an error occurs, operation is
interrupted and the power stage is switched off. Warnings and errors remain active until the cause
of the event has been corrected. After the cause has been eliminated, warnings are automatically
deleted from the diagnostic memory with the next motion task. If errors occur, the error must be
acknowledged. After acknowledgement of the error, the power stage is activated with the application
of the next travel command or via system parameter 0x0002 ‘System-Commands’, value 0xCC ‘Enable
power stage’.
12.2.1 Acknowledge error
With error acknowledgment, active error messages are deleted from the diagnostic memory if the
cause of the error was remedied before acknowledgment.
Errors can be acknowledged via the following interfaces:

15.2.2 Device data


The device parameters contain all application data (e.g. setpoints and actual values, limit values, ...)

IO-Link

Automatic saving of device data


If automatic storage is activated (0x0109.0 = true, default), parameter changes in the device data (=
data storage parameters è "Integrated drive EMCS" instruction manual è www.festo.com/sp) are
made automatically and permanently saved in the flash memory. Exceeding the maximum permissible
100,000 write cycles results in irreparable damage to the flash memory and the device, e.g. when
using the device for positioning tasks via IO-Link.
If automatic saving is deactivated (0x0109.0 = false), parameter changes are only temporarily stored
in the RAM. The RAM permits an unlimited number of parameter changes, e.g. for positioning tasks via
IO-Link.

2) Force is controlled and evaluated by closed-loop control of the motor current. A torque level or a linear force can be determined from
the level of current measured depending on the mechanism of the drive. The target is set as a percentage of the rated motor current
and may deviate from the actual force on the drive unit. If force levels are set low, the influence of friction in the system on the
running behaviour and the actual force on the drive unit must also be taken into account.

Damage to the device due to non-approved potentials at the pins


• Connection [Power]:
• Do not connect pin 3
• Connection [Logic]:
• EMCS-ST is not hot-pluggable. The IO-Link communication signal C/Q [Pin 3] can only be applied
after connection of the reference potential L– [Pin 4/8].
• The IO-Link communication signal C/Q [Pin 3] must be separated 100 ms before the power supply
connections L– [Pin 4/8] and L+ [Pin 1], e.g. by interposition of relay contacts.

Automatic saving of device data


If automatic storage is activated (0x0109.0 = true, default), parameter changes in the device data (=
data storage parameters è "Integrated drive EMCS" instruction manual è www.festo.com/sp) are
made automatically and permanently saved in the flash memory. Exceeding the maximum permissible
100,000 write cycles results in irreparable damage to the flash memory and the device, e.g. when
using the device for positioning tasks via IO-Link.
If automatic saving is deactivated (0x0109.0 = false), parameter changes are only temporarily stored
in the RAM. The RAM permits an unlimited number of parameter changes, e.g. for positioning tasks via
IO-Link.
