1. System overview
The SFC−LACI has three types of memory:
FLASH The FLASH memory stores the default settings and the firm
ware. The data from the FLASH memory are loaded when the device is switched on the first time or when the EEPROM has been deleted.
RAM The volatile RAM memory stores the parameters that are
currently being
used and which can be modified using the control panel or FCT. When the modifications have been saved, they are transferred to the EEPROM.
EEPROM The non−volatile EEPROM stores the parameters that are
loaded when the device is switched on. The parameters in the EEPROM are retained even after the power supply has been switched
off.
To restore the default settings, the EEPROM can be deleted via the CI object 20F1h (see section B.1). User−specific set tings will then be lost.

Note
Check within the framework of your EMERGENCY STOP procedures to ascertain the measures that are necessary for switching your machine/system into a safe state in the event of an EMERGENCY STOP.
· If an EMERGENCY STOP circuit is necessary for your ap
plication, use additional, separate safety limit switches (e.g. as normally closed limit switches wired in series).
· Use hardware limit switches or, if required, mechanical
safety limit switches and fixed stops or shock absorbers as appropriate in order to make sure that the axis always lies within the permitted positioning range.

Warning
There is no plausibility check to see whether the deceler ation (braking) that is set is actually achievable. The de celeration that can be achieved depends on your applica tion (e.g. power and switching speed of your power supply unit, effective load, mounting position).
If the deceleration cannot be achieved, an error
will occur and the controller may be turned off (depending on the fault). The effective load on the drive will continue to move due to inertia, or it will fall if mounted in a vertical or slop ing position.

1.5 Measuring reference system

Homing Homing determines the position of the homing reference
point REF. When homing is concluded, the axis stands at the axis zero point AZ.
The homing method The homing method defines how the homing point REF is
determined.
Reference point REF binds the measuring reference system to a proximity sensor
or a fixed stop, depending on
Axis zero point AZ is shifted by a defined distance to the reference point REF
(offset of the axis zero point). The software end positions and the project zero point are defined in relation to the axis zero point.

Project zero point PZ is a point to which the actual position and
the target posi tions from the position set table relate. The project zero point is shifted by a defined distance to the axis zero point AZ (offset of the project zero point). The offset of the project zero point cannot be adjusted via the control panel.
Software end positions limit the permitted positioning range
(effective stroke). If the target position of a positioning command lies outside the software end positions, the positioning command will not be processed and an error will be registered.

1.6 Homing run methods

1.6.1 Homing methods to switch with index search

The following can be used for homing to a proximity sensor:
1. The integrated reference switch of the drive (recom mended). It is located on the retracted (negative) end position and must not be moved (exception: minimum offset with an Index pulse warning", see section 6.4.1).
2. A proximity sensor to be externally attached by
The proximity sensors can be configured as reference switches or as limit switches. This means homing either runs to the reference switch or to the limit switch. If a proximity switch is configured both as a reference switch and as a limit switch, then its signal during homing is inter preted as signal in the referenced state of the drive.

2.1 General information

Caution
Uncontrolled drive motion may cause personal injury and material damage.
· Before carrying out fitting, installation and/or mainten
ance work, always switch off the power supply.
Caution
If a drive is mounted in a sloping or vertical position, loads may fall down and cause injury to persons.
· Check whether external safety measures are necessary
(e.g. toothed latches or moveable bolts).
This prevents the work load sliding down suddenly if there is a power failure.

3.2.1 Function of the hardware enable

Application of 24 VDC to pin 3 (relative to pin 5) of the power supply connection is essential for operation of the SFC−LACI.
In a similar fashion to the relay, Hardware Enable" switches the load voltage on and off, whereby the voltage of the hardware enable represents the control voltage:
 Hardware enable applied:
the load voltage is switched
through.
 Hardware enable missing: the load voltage is blocked.
Switching the voltage on or off of the Hardware Enable" is thus equivalent to switching the load voltage on or off.
The Hardware Enable is electrically isolated.
Use of the Hardware enable is described in section 5.5.4.

3.3 Earthing

Note
· Connect one of the earth terminals of the SFC−LACI at
low impedance (short cable with large cross−section) to the earth potential.
You can thereby avoid interference from electromagnetic sources and ensure electromagnetic compatibility in accordance with EMC directives.
To earth the SFC−LACI, use one of the following terminals (see Tab.3/3):
 Earth terminal on
the housing of the SFC−LACI, or
 Earthing strip with cable lug on the plug housing.
Note
Note that only one of the three earth terminals may be used (to avoid earth loops).
When using the earth terminal on the housing of the SFC−LACI:
· Use a suitable earthing cable with an M4 cable lug to
gether with the accompanying nut and toothed washer.
· Tighten the nut with max. 1.7 Nm.

Displacement encoder for BiSS interface
The BiSS interface is a 2−wire interface for interference−im mune sensor connection. In contrast to the SSI interface, the data transmission is bi−directional, which means, for example, that data can also be written into the sensor for parametrisa tion.
Data is transmitted via a pulse cable controlled by the master and a data cable mission. Data is written to the slave via the cycle’s pulse width modulation in accordance with the "BiSS B mode" pro tocol specification http://www.biss−ic.de/files/ BiSS_b3ds.pdf; the direc¬tion of the data cable is not switched. Pulse and data are transmitted using RS485 tech nology, which means a inverted and issued at the receiver as differential input. This suppresses common−mode interference. The data are also secured by a CRC code.
The BiSS interface supports 2 read−out modes:
controlled by the sensor as serial trans
signal is sent not−inverted as well as
3−12
 The sensor data channel for fast pulse out (pulse up to 10
MHz) of the sensor information
 The
parameter channel for reading and writing sensor parameters as well as for depositing user−specific data protected against zero voltage in the sensor’s EEPROM
The distinction is made on the basis of the start bit, details can be referred to in the specifications given.

5.2.1 Setting the reference run parameters

Switch the SFC−LACI on. When the logic voltage is switched on, the SFC−LACI carries out an internal check. The display briefly shows the Festo logo then changes to the status dis play.
The reference point is determined as follows, depending on the homing method:
by means of the drive’s integrated reference switch with
subsequent index search (recommended) or
a
by means of a fixed stop (to be fitted externally by the
customer).
For homing to the switch, only the drive’s integrated refer ence switch can be selected on the control panel. Use the FCT for parametrising if you require further options.
5−8
The homing run process is described
in section 1.6.
You can set two different speeds for searching for the reference point and for the subsequent run to the axis zero point. The maximum speed is subject to built−in limits.
Festo GDCP−SFC−LACI−IO−EN en 0812N H

When homing to a fixed stop:
1. Measure the distance between your reference point and the retracted end position (Offset
; see Tab.1/3).
Ref
2. Enter the value (± 1mm) in FCT or via the CI object 6410/16h.
Note
Controller inaccuracies If you do not enter the offset of the reference point,
control inaccuracies (e.g. overshooting) can occur with small (100 mm) and large nominal strokes (400mm).
When homing to the drive’s integrated reference switch, the reference point position is known (6 mm) and must not be entered. This reference switch must
not be moved.
Caution
Damage to components when the permissible impact pulse is exceeded.

Caution
When the homing method is changed, the axis zero point offset is reset to the factory settings (see section 5.2.4). Existing parametrised software end positions and target positions already set in the position set table are shifted together with the axis zero point.
· Always carry out a reference run after changing the
referencing method.
