gramming for the various bus systems and controllers from Festo. The following is uniformly defined for
the user through FHPP:
– Operating modes
– I/O data structure
– Parameters
– Sequence control

5.2.2 Festo Configuration Tool (FCT)
The Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) is the software platform for configuring and commissioning various
components and devices from Festo. The FCT consists of the following components:
– a framework as program start and entry point with uniform project and data management for all
supported types of equipment
– a plug-in for the special requirements of each device type (e.g. CMAX) with the necessary descrip
tions and dialogues. The plug-ins are managed and started from the framework.
