Configurator 2 — Fr

Developed by , FR Configurator 2 is a free, PC-based software tool designed specifically for parameterizing and commissioning Festo field devices. While many associate Festo with pneumatic cylinders and valves, their electronics (like the CPX-E or CTEU modules) require precise configuration to talk to higher-level PLCs (like Siemens, Rockwell, or Beckhoff).

For the FR-A800 series, the software offers a "Simple Project" mode which uses flowcharts or basic programming logic to set up sequence control without writing PLC code. It lowers the barrier to entry for standalone applications. fr configurator 2
