1.1 Structure
In conjunction with permitted drives and measuring systemsas well as with a proportional directional control valve typeMPYE-5-..., the SPC11 enables:
– fast movement into the mechanical end positions and oneor two selectable intermediate positions
– manual movement between the end positions.
The end position cushioning, movement to the intermediatepositions and manual positioning are electronically con-trolled. A distinction is made between the following types ofSPC11:
Type Description
SPC11-POT-TLF Enables connection to the linear potentiometertype MLO-POT-...-TLF.
SPC11-POT-LWG Enables connection to the connecting rodpotentiometer type MLO-POT-...-LWG and therotary drive with integrated measuring systemtype DSMI-...
SPC11-MTS-AIF-2 Enables connection of the linear drive withdigital measuring system type DGCI-... .
SPC11-MTS-AIF Enables connection of the linear drive withintegrated digital measuring system typeDGPI(L)-...-...-...-AIF or the digital measuringsystem type MME-MTS-...-AIF.

1. Summary of components
1-5Festo P.BE-SPC11-SYS-EN en 1406e
During operation, the SPC11 controls movement of the move-able mass into the saved end positions and intermediatepositions at the highest possible speed. Shortly before the“learnt” end position or intermediate position is reached, themoveable mass is braked so that it comes to a standstill.
To keep the moveable mass in the “learnt” end position, it ispressed against the fixed stop (typically at a pressure that isslightly less than the operating pressure).
Advantages
Compared to impact-limited drives with pulse-valve control,this control procedure permits higher positioning speeds.Also, the following measures, which would be required forcontrolling a drive with a pulse valve, are no longer necess-ary:
– the use of restrictors
– the use of limit switches
– the use of mechanical end position cushioning(shock absorbers)
– the maintenance of fixed stops.
Compared with impact-limited drives with pulse-valve control,the SPC11 permits:
– higher machine cycle times
– less vibration of the system
– lower maintenance costs.

1.2 Method of operation
Tasks of the SPC11 The SPC11 takes over the following tasks:
– It ascertains characteristic system values of theconnected components
– It saves the desired end positions and intermediatepositions
– It specifies the end positions and intermediate positions
– It compares the nominal and actual positions and controlspositioning by appropriate actuation of the proportionaldirectional control valve (status control).
Method of operation The SPC11, the valve, the drive and the measuring systemare connected together to form a closed-loop control circuit.In this closed-loop control circuit, the position of the move-able mass represents the control variable. This control cir-cuit is therefore also called positioning control.
In the following text, the term “moveable mass” also refers topiston, slide and flange shaft.
The following diagram shows the basic layout of a positioningcontrol circuit with the SPC11.

Fig. 1/2: Positioning control circuit with pneumatic components
The measuring system registers continuously the position ofthe moveable mass and transmits this in the form of an elec-tric signal to the SPC11. The SPC11 compares the currentposition with the target position (the “taught” end positionsPo.1 and Po.2 or the intermediate positions Po.3 and Po.4)and calculates from this value the positioning signal for theproportional directional control valve.
The proportional directional control valve controls the driveby pressurising one cylinder chamber and exhausting theother. The flow is blocked in the valve slide mid-position.

Before carrying out installation and/or maintenance work,switch off the operating voltage and the compressed airsupply either simultaneously or in the following sequence:
1. compressed air supply
2. operating voltage.
CautionThe use of components which have not been released foroperation with the SPC11 may lead to malfunctioning.
Use only the special matching components from Festo forsetting up and wiring the system.

Compressed air supply (1 )
S Use only dried, non-lubricated, 5 μm filtered compressedair from 5 to 7 bar.
You will require a service unit with a 5 μm filter for protectingthe proportional directional control valve against damage.
Service unit (2 )
S Use a service unit consisting of a compressed air filterand a regulating valve (e.g. type LFR-...-D-... with 5 μmfilter element) as well as a safety start-up valve(e.g. HEL-...-...):
– without lubricator
– with a 5 μm filter
– with sufficiently large standard flow corresponding tothe air requirement of the connected drive duringpositioning. Reference value: twice the rated flow ofthe valve (type MPYE-5-...), e.g.:
Valve type Service unit
MPYE-5-1/8-LF-010B LFR-M1-G1/8-C10RG orLFR-1/8-D-5M-MINI

MPYE-5-3/8-010B LFR-M2-G3/8-C10RG orLFR-3/4-D-5M-MAXI
S Use a microfilter if you cannot avoid slight oil mist fromthe compressed air supply.

Compressed air reservoir (3 )
If the positioning behaviour does not conform to your require-ments, and if you ascertain fluctuations in pressure of over1 bar at the measuring point, then proceed as follows:
S Fit a compressed air reservoir (e.g. type VZS-...-B) be-tween the service unit and the proportional directionalcontrol valve.
In this way you can reduce fluctuations in pressure duringoperation. You can compensate for slight excesses in thepermitted pressure by using supply tubing with a largerdiameter.
Reservoir volume:
The reservoir volume should be at least four times as large asthe volume of the drive used.
VP = 4 * VZ
VP = buffer volumeVZ = cylinder volume (linear drive: VZ = r2 * ð* LZ)LZ = cylinder stroke length

3-7Festo P.BE-SPC11-SYS-EN en 1406e
Compressed air tubing and screw connectors (4 )
S Use only straight screw connectors. If angled connectorscannot be avoided, use plug connectors from the QuickStar series.
S Cut compressed air tubing and hoses to the required size,as specified in the manual for the drive used.
S Arrange the tubing between the valve (MPYE-5-...) and thedrive symmetrically.
S Use only clean compressed air tubing and connectors.Details on permitted temperatures and pressure rangesfor tubing and connectors can be found in the productscatalogue.
S Do not install restrictors in the supply lines.
S Arrange the tubing so that it does not project into thepositioning range.
For good positioning behaviour during operation, fluctuationsin pressure of max. 1 bar are permitted in front of the propor-tional directional control valve. In order to check the stabilityof the supply pressure, you can fit a pressure measuringpoint directly in front of the proportional directional controlvalve.

S If the proportional directional control valve is to be usedin an environment subjected to heavy electrical interfer-ence, it should be insulated from the mounting surface.
Fitting onto moving parts
S If fitted to moving parts, the proportional directional con-trol valve must be mounted at right-angles to the direc-tion of movement. Acceleration forces then have no influ-ence on the valve slide setting.

3.2.1 Additional pneumatic circuits
You may require additional pneumatic circuits in order toattain a particular status for the system in certain applica-tions. Choose between the following alternatives based onthe design and operating characteristics of your system:
– drive pressureless
– drive clamped
– drive moves while throttled to the left or right endposition.
Please noteIf the operating voltage supply for the SPC11 is switchedoff, the proportional directional control valve type MPYE-...will move to the mid-position. Due to the asymmetricalvoltage-pressure curve of the proportional directional con-trol valve when the supply pressure is switched on, theslide can move slowly into one of the end positions.

4.1 General instructions on commissioning
This chapter describes parameterising and commissioningwith the aid of the three buttons on the SPC11. A 1-signal atthe Remote input (I8) blocks the SPC11 buttons. Button func-tions can then be called up via the digital inputs (I5...7).Detailed information on this can be found in appendix A.
WarningDuring commissioning and during operation the moveablemass is moved at the highest possible acceleration andspeed. Make sure that:
– Nobody can place his/her hand in the positioning rangeof the moveable mass, unless the compressed air supplyis switched off.
– The complete positioning range is free collisioncontours.
WarningIncorrectly set parameters can damage the fixed stops andthe drive.
Be very careful when setting the parameters.

4.2 Pre-parameterising in the office
4.2.1 Parameters A, C and S
The permitted values of the parameters A, C, and S for thedrive you are using can be found in the appropriate axis-specific supplement.
4.2.2 Parameters L and r (only with type SPC11-INC)
The parameters L and r are only queried when incrementalpath measuring systems are used (e.g. positioning driveDNCI-...-... in connection with type SPC11-INC).
With incremental path measuring systems, the SPC11requires the following information:
– Nominal stroke length (L) of the drive (see type plate)
– Offset axis zero point (r) – offset between the end positionP.01 and the axis zero point (see Fig. 4/2).

Nominal stroke length (L)of the drive [mm]
Nominal stroke length (L) of the drive, see type designationon the type plate (e.g. type DNCI-32-300-P-A has a nominalstroke length of 300 mm).
Offset axis zero point (r)[mm]
For a good positioning behaviour, the SPC11 must know thepositioning range used by the drive. The offset axis zeropoint specifies the offset between the end position P.01 andthe axis zero point. With an offset of 0 cm, the end positionP.01 lies in the axis zero point.
Remarks on reference travel
With incremental path measuring systems, the measurementvariable refers to a reference point and is determined bycounting equally large measurement steps (increments). Therelationship between measurement variable and current posi-tion is created through the reference travel.
Referencing in the teachprocedure
In the teach procedure (see also section 4.3.1), the endpositions P.01 and P.02 are approached. This creates therelationship between measurement variable and currentposition. Reference travel is not necessary.
Reference travel afterPOWER ON
After the SPC11 operating voltage is switched on again, therelationship between measurement variable and currentposition is lost. Reference travel into the end positions P.01or P.02 is necessary (see also section 4.4).

4.2.3 Parameter o (options)
With this parameter, you can change the signal behaviour ofthe SPC11 and switch off certain standard functions (fromVersion 1.41).
Please noteThe factory setting (o-parameter = 0) means:
– No option selected. Standard behaviour active.
Standard behaviour at factory setting (o-parameter = 0):
– Output O5 supplies Error signal
– Positioning time monitoring (10 s) active
– Constant adaptation active
– Soft end position behaviour active
– Input I4 can be used for the positioning order to thetaught intermediate position P.04
In the factory setting (o-parameter = 0), the above behaviouris identical to the previous version (there no options wereselectable).
Internally, the decimal value is interpreted as binary. A spe-cific option is assigned to each bit (see following table). Onlyallowable option combinations can be set. This results in apossible value range of 00 to 79 for the o-parameter.

4.2.6 Changing parameters
Please noteThe option parameter o can be changed without a newteach procedure being necessary. After the parameters A,C, S, L or r are changed, the teach procedure must be per-formed again.
If necessary, the set parameters can be modified, e.g. in orderto correct entry errors or to optimise positioning behaviour.This can be carried out in one of the following ways:
Possibilities Description

In this mode the set parameter values areretained and can be modified or trans-ferred. Taught intermediate positions areretained.
Create status as atdelivery
All parameter values are then set to 0.Taught intermediate positions are deleted.
Activate modification mode
Condition The measuring system must be connected. There must be a0-signal at input Remote (I8). The drive must be at a stand-still.
CautionWhen the modification mode is activated, the valve slideassumes the mid-position. During positioning the masscan therefore move uncushioned into an end position.
Make sure that the drive is standing still before you acti-vate the modification mode.

4.3 Commissioning procedure
WarningFaults in the system structure and incorrect parameterscan cause the slide to move to an end position uncu-shioned. The fixed stop or the drive may then be de-stroyed. You must observe the following instructions inorder to prevent such collisions.
– The SPC11 “learns” the location of the end positions(cylinder end positions or fixed stop positions) by meansof the teach procedure. The teach procedure must becarried out during the first commissioning and alwayswhen the fixed stops have been adjusted or when compo-nents and tubing have been replaced.
– During the teach procedure the SPC-11 can recognisefaulty drive tubing or incorrectly set parameters. Theteach procedure must therefore be carried out again if thetubing is disconnected and then reconnected, or if theparameters A, C, S, L or r are modified.
– Make sure that the maximum permitted mass load isobserved during operation.
Recommendation:Place appropriate warning signs on your system.

4.3.1 Preparations for the teach procedure
Teach procedure During the teach procedure movement is made at firstcyclically and slowly to the end positions P.01 and P.02. Inthis way the SPC-11 learns the mechanical end positions andsome characteristic system values such as friction andhysteresis. The SPC11 saves these values in the integratedEEPROM.
In order to check the set parameters for plausibility, themoveable mass is first brought dynamically into the centre ofthe positioning stroke used and then moved to just in front ofend position P.01.
Please noteWhen an incremental path measuring system is used(e.g. with type DNCI-...-...): During the teach procedure,movement is made to the end positions P.01 and P.02. Thiscreates the relationship between measurement variableand current position. Reference travel is not necessary.
The teach procedure is concluded when the moveable mass ispressed against end position P.01 and the output O1 suppliesa 1-signal.
Before commissioning can be undertaken, the pneumaticdrive must be ready for operation. The teach procedureshould be carried out with maximum permitted mass load.During the teach procedure there must be a 0-signal at inputsP.01 to P.04.
Proceed as follows in order to prepare the teach procedure:
1. Check the complete system structure, especially the drivetubing (see chapter 3). Special specifications for yourdrive can be found in the “Drive-Specific Supplement”.
2. Check the electrical circuitry.

3. If fixed stops are used:Set the fixed stops accurately in the desired end posi-tions. The positioning stroke permitted for the drive usedcan be found in the “Drive-Specific Supplement”.
4. Check whether the parameters have already beencorrectly set in pre-commissioning.
The permitted values of the parameters A, C, and S for thedrive you are using can be found in the appropriateaxis-specific supplement. The currently set values will beshown briefly when the operating voltage is switched on(see also Fig. 4/4).
If the SPC11 is in the status at delivery:
When the operating voltage is switched on, the SPC11 waitsfor the amplification stage (A) to be entered.
S In this case, set the parameters as described insection 4.2.5.
If the parameters have already been set:
When the operating voltage is switched on, the SPC11 showsbriefly the set parameters one after the other, so that they canbe checked. The SPC11 then indicates readiness to carry outthe teach procedure (t flashes).

4.3.2 Start the teach procedure
Condition There must be a 0-signal at inputs I1...4. The parametersmust be set correctly. The maximum mass load and, if appli-cable, the fixed stops must be fitted correctly. To be able tostart the teach procedure with the buttons, a 0-signal mustbe present at the Remote input (I8).
WarningIn order to avoid damage caused by uncushionedmovement into the end positions, proceed as follows:
– with the first commissioning
– when the fixed stops have been adjusted
– after changing the parameters A, C, S, L, r
– or after replacing components or tubing.
1. Make sure that:• the compressed air supply and the operating voltage of
the SPC11 are switched off• the above-mentioned prerequisites are fulfilled.
2. Switch on the operating voltage for the SPC11. The SPC11will then show briefly the version number of the firmware.The set parameters are then shown, so that they can bechecked.
3. Now switch on the compressed air supply (5 to 7 bar).As the valve slide assumes the intermediate position, themoveable load can move slowly into one of the end posi-tions due to the asymmetrical voltage-pressure curve ofthe proportional directional control valve.

4.3.3 Teach the intermediate positions
The SPC11 permits fast movement into up to two selectableintermediate positions. The desired intermediate positionsare “learnt” by manual movement or by shifting the moveablemass and then saving. The “learnt” intermediate positionscan be approached during operation.
The intermediate positions can also be used as sensor posi-tions, as the relevant output (O3...O4) supplies a 1-signal for50 ms when the intermediate positions are travelled over(see section 4.4.5).
Condition The drive must be ready for operation. There must be a0-signal at inputs I1...4. In the procedure using the buttonson the SPC11, a 0-signal must be present at the Remoteinput (I8). The supply pressure must be switched on or off,depending on the variant.
Variants Procedure
The supply pressure isswitched off
The moveable mass can brought into thedesired position very accurately by handduring the teach procedure.
The supply pressure isswitched on
The mass can be moved manually. Veryaccurate positioning can, under certaincircumstances, be difficult and may take aconsiderable amount of time.
The following explains how to teach the intermediate posi-tions when the supply pressure is switched on. If you wish toteach the intermediate positions with the supply pressureswitched off, you must proceed in exactly the same manner.However, the mass will not start moving automatically whenthe button is pressed { or }, but must be brought into thedesired intermediate position by hand. The button { or }must still be pressed at the appropriate position.

Detailed dimensions for repetition accuracy with the driveyou are using can be found in the drive-specific supplement.
Please noteObserve the following instructions in order to achieve goodpositioning behaviour and the repetition accuracy speci-fied.
– The distance between the intermediate position and thedrive end position must be at least 10 % of the completecylinder stroke length or of the complete rotary angle, inorder to provide a sufficient compressed air cushion.
– Positioning paths between taught positions should not beless than 3 % of the complete cylinder stroke length or ofthe complete rotary angle.With linear drives and cylinders the positioning pathsshould be at least 20 mm.
– If the intermediate positions P.03 and P.04 lie at the samepoint and if movement is made to one of the intermediatepositions (e.g. to P.03), only the output corresponding tothe order (e.g. O3) will be set when the intermediate posi-tion is reached. The output bit of the other intermediateposition will be set for 50 ms only if the position is tra-velled over (overswing) (sensor function).

4.3.4 Conclude teach procedure
Adaptation The positioning behaviour is monitored continuously duringoperation. Internal characteristic values are adapted here tothe actual state of the drive, e.g. in order to compensate forwear etc. during the service period.
After commissioning, the positioning behaviour improves byadaptation automatically after approximately 20 to 30 strokes.Therefore, after teaching the end positions and intermediatepositions, always allow 20 to 30 positioning cycles to becarried out.
4.3.5 Carry out teach procedure again
When the SPC11 is ready to operate, the teach procedure canbe started again, e.g. with the aid of the Teach button.
Condition There must be a 0-signal at inputs I1...4. The parametersmust be set correctly. The maximum mass load and, if appli-cable, the fixed stops must be fitted correctly. To be able tostart the teach procedure with the buttons, a 0-signal mustbe present at the Remote input (I8).
The SPC11 then indicates readiness to carry out the teachprocedure (t flashes). The procedure can then be discon-tinued if the power supply is switched off. If the Teach buttonis pressed again (for at least 2 seconds), the teach procedurewill be started (see section 4.3.2).
If the end positions are taught again, the adaptation valueswill be deleted. Intermediate positions already “taught” areretained.
