Festo SPC11-MTS-AIF Pneumatic End Position Controller

The Festo SPC11-MTS-AIF End-Position Controller is a compact 24 V DC servo-pneumatic position controller that uses magnetostrictive feedback from MTS sensors to accurately drive and hold predefined end positions on pneumatic drives, including piston-rod, rodless, and rotary configurations. As part of the SPC11 family, it offers teach-in to automatically determine system characteristic values and end positions, which can be initiated on the device or remotely via control signals. The unit provides eight digital inputs and five digital outputs for robust I/O, with 24 V DC input signals and an input current of 4 mA per channel, plus output capability up to 0.1 A per channel and a total max current of 500 mA. Logic signals use a 0–5 V range for logic 0 and 15–30 V for logic 1, facilitating reliable interfacing with standard PLCs. The displacement encoder input is designed for MTS-based feedback, enabling precise positioning of the driven element and reliable repeatability across cycles. It supports end-position outputs for multiple positions (1–4) and provides status signaling such as an error-ready line, aiding integration into automated systems. Compliance includes CE marking and RoHS, with UKCA marking where applicable, reflecting suitability for European and UK applications. This SPC11-AIF variant is tailored for magnetostrictive sensors, delivering servo-pneumatic positioning with straightforward setup, quick on-line teach-in, and deterministic end stops for accurate, repeatable motion control in manufacturing, packaging, and assembly environments.
