Electrical Control Components

Festo Controls offers Electrical Control Components. It is available under the designations FEC620 and FEC660, the two new controller variants enable compressed air metering and monitoring with the help of pressure sensors, air consumption measurements by means of flow sensors, temperature measurement and monitoring with temperature probes. Length and displacement measurements are possible with the help of linear potentiometers; pressure and force measurements can be performed with pressure sensors. Diverse programming options, Ethernet and Internet interfaces for integration into networks and remote monitoring, and an optimised connection concept are additional technical strengths demonstrated by the improved miniature controller. It make use of the space-saving SAC plug concept. This sensor-actuator connector, which is also available with an integrated 3-level terminal strip, facilitates direct connection of sensors and actuators to the controller, thus eliminating the need for additional terminal strips. This results in space savings of up to 50 % in the control cabinet, and installation time is also reduced by up to 40 %.
