2 Overview
2.1 General Information
The "Festo_Motion_FHPP_3.library" is a library for CODESYS V3 provided by Festo. The following Festo motor
controllers can be controlled with this library:
oCMMD-AS-C8-3A double motor controller,
oCMMO-ST-C5-1-LKP motor controller,
oCMMP-AS motor controller family,
oCMMS-AS and CMMS-ST motor controller families,
oCMXH-ST motor controller family,
oSFC-DC motor controller family,
oEMCA-EC motor unit,
oMTR-DCI motor unit.
Communication takes place via the specific fieldbus communication protocol.
Actuation of the Festo motor controllers takes place via the Festo Handling and Positioning Profile (FHPP).
The library contains function blocks for controlling and parameterising the individual drives.
Refer to the documentation for the motor controller for further information on operating and configuring the
relevant motor controller type.
Architecture
Each motor controller is integrated into the CODESYS project using a controller-specific hardware configuration.
o All function blocks that access I/O data directly to control a motor controller requires a copy of the
input data and output data as transit variables.
o All function blocks that access I/O data directly to parameterise a motor controller requires a copy of
the input data and output data of the Festo Parameter Channel (FPC) as transit variables.
An instance of the function blocks for control must be generated for each motor controller instance.
2.2 Requirements
During installation of CODESYS V3 provided by Festo, the supplied device files are installed
automatically and stored in the device repository
Device files that are not supplied can be installed via the standard CODESYS dialog "Device
Repository".
Please add the "Festo_Motion_FHPP_3.library" to the package "CODESYS provided by Festo" with the Library
manager tool.
For adding a CODESYS library to a project, you will find information in the general CODESYS help at
item "Library Manager".

Overview
Parameter channel
The controller can access all parameter values of the controller by means of the parameter channel. A further 8
bytes of I/O data are used for this purpose.
The function blocks for parameter transfer are described in a separate chapter.
7
Printed Documentation
2.4.1 FHPP+
FHPP+ allows a cyclic exchange of parameters between the motor controller and the PLC. Therefore up to
additional 24 bytes are defined in the I/O section of the device.
FHPP is only supported by the motor controller families CMMP-AS and EMCA-EC!
Direct application
In direct application operating mode, the important data is transferred directly via the control bytes.
o Target positions and velocities can be ascertained and specified by the controller during runtime,
depending on the operating status.
o No limitations due to the number of saved positioning records.
In direct mode values can be taught/parameterised via the PLC.
The following direct mode types can be selected:
o Direct application - position mode
o Direct application -force/torque mode
o Direct application - velocity mode

Overview
The library namespace for the Festo Motion_FHPP_3 library is "FML". This prefix is used to have a
worldwide unique name for a specific function block.
The prefix is placed before the function block name, separated by a dot.

3 FML_READ: Prepare the input data
3.1 FML_Read: Functional description
The function block FML_Read prepares the raw data from the motor controller and stores them in normalized
form in a data structure of type DT_FML_REF for the control FB and the parameters FBs.
o Normalising big / little endian fieldbus data.
o Normalising the special data format of Modbus/TCP.
Note
This FB must be called before the execution of the control and parameter FBs!

22
FML_READ: Prepare the input data
Note
Not all devices support FHPP+. The operating instructions of the motor controller must be checked
before use.
Each object has up to 4 byte (32 bit) width and must be adapted to the fieldbus transfer specialities:
o Big- or little endian for objects with 2 or 4 byte width.
o The Modbus/TCP special word alignment.
The FML_Read function block normalises the FHPP+ objects transferred from the motor controller to
the PLC.
The transferred FHPP+ objects are described with the PlcConfigFHPP_PLUS_IN variable. Each digit represents the
width of an FHPP+ object.
o 1 stands for an object with 8 bit width,
o 2 stands for an object with 16 bit width,
o 4 stands for an object with 32 bit width.
All other digits are not used!
Up to 10 FHPP+ objects with different sizes may be transferred. The objects are arranged in 8-byte packages. Up
to 3 FHPP+ packages are possible.
The access to the FHPP+ objects is described below.
In the example "Control Data" and "Parameter Channel" are used, therefore 16 byte are available for FHPP+. The
FHPP+ objects size is given right of "PLC Configuration".
The "PLC Configuration" must be assigned to PlcConfigFHPP_PLUS_IN := 44224.
The meaning of the digits from left to right:
o 4 = 32 bit object (FHPP+ object 1)
o 4 = 32 bit object (FHPP+ object 2)
o 2 = 16 bit object (FHPP+ object 3)
o 2 = 16 bit place holder
o 4 = 32 bit place holder
Therefore 2 FHPP+ packets are used.

Visualising function blocks
Refer to the section "Visualisation" in the general CODESYS Help for information on how to create a
visualisation object.
1. Adjust the size and position of the visualisation element if necessary. To do this, click on the element
and use the borders.
2. For configuration, click on the visualisation element with the left mouse button. In the "Property" area
of the editing window (➔ [View] [Element Properties]) you can make various settings for displaying and
linking the visualisation element.
3. Click in the edit field of the "Object" "m_Input_INST" and then on the button for opening the "Input
Assistant" window.
4. Link the visualisation element with the corresponding instance (name of axis).
There are two options here:
o In the line "m_Input_INST", enter the name of the function block in combination with the higher-level
program name.
o Double-click in the input line using the mouse. Using the left mouse button, click on the button that is
now displayed in the line at right. The "Input Assistant" window opens, where you can select the
corresponding instance. Confirm the selection with "OK."

8.1 Controlling a Festo motor controller
This example uses the motor controller CMMO-ST with the corresponding function block FHPP_CTRL.
With this function block, the motor controller CMMO-ST can be controlled using the following four operating and
control mode combinations:
o Record selection
o Direct mode position control
o Direct mode torque control
o Direct mode speed control
The set operating and control mode is only accepted and displayed with the start of a movement, i.e.
with a rising edge at the "StartTask" input.

Printed Documentation
The values written to the motor controller with the function block ..._PRM_SINGLE are stored in a volatile
memory and are valid until the control voltage of 24 V at the motor controller is interrupted.
In a non-volatile memory, the values can be assumed permanently by describing PNU 127 Subindex 2 with the
value 1.
The following actions must be performed in order for the described parameters to be assumed permanently:

Package: The package allows the installation of target system-specific files for the control of Festo
CODESYS motor controllers. The program can be found in the Start menu under "Programs" in the
selection "CODESYS V3"
PDO: Process Data Object.
PKE: Integral part of the parameter channel (PKW) which contains the task and reply identifiers (AK) and the
parameter number (PNU).
PKW: Telegram part used for transmitting parameters. PKW refers to a parameter identification value (see
also "Festo Parameter Channel (FPC)").
PNU: Parameters which can be transmitted via the parameter channel are addressed with the parameter
number (PNU). The parameter number is an integral part of the parameter identifier (PKE) and serves
for identifying or addressing the individual parameter.
Position record: Positioning command defined in the record table, consisting of target position, positioning
mode, positioning speed and accelerations.
Profile position mode: Operating mode for processing a position record or a direct positioning task.
Project zero point (PZ): Measuring reference point for all positions in positioning tasks. The project zero
point forms the basis for all absolute position specifications (e.g. in the record table or with direct
control via the control interface or diagnostic interface). The basis point for the project zero point is the
axis zero point.
R
Reference point (REF): Basis point for the incremental measuring system. The reference point defines a
known orientation or position within the positioning path of the drive.
S
Subindex (IND): Integral part of the parameter channel (PKW) which addresses an element of an array
parameter (subparameter number).
T
Teach mode: Operating mode for setting positions by moving to the target position e.g. when creating
position sets.
