Commissioning

Overview

During the commissioning, you have to:

oPerform the machine (controller and slave devices) first power-up.

oPerform network tests.

oDownload the configuration to the network devices.

oAdjust controller and network devices configuration (online or directly on the devices).

oComplete the FDR on each available device.

oBack up your application.

 

First Machine Power-up

Step

Action

1

Transfer the application to the controller.

Refer to Downloading an Application.

2

Prepare each device to be recognized on the device network by referring to the network planning: BOOTP, DHCP, fixed IP, network name.

For details, refer to Prepare the Device to Be Recognized.

3

Perform a machine power cycle. This may be necessary for some devices to acquire the correct network settings.

4

Perform network tests.

 

Download the Configuration to the Network Devices

Refer to Apply the Correct Device Configuration.

Adjust Controller and Devices Application

Once the first machine power-up performed and the configuration downloaded to the devices, you can adjust the system with:

oUser Parameters online modification

oEmbedded DTMs online modification, such as:

oparameters adjustment,

oautotuning for performances and energy efficiency,

ooscilloscope for fine dynamic tuning

o

oFor devices not having DTM, manual adjustment directly done on the devices. Refer to the documentation of the device.

Complete the FDR Service

Once the system is configured, you have to complete the FDR service. This step consists in saving the device configuration in the controller FTP server.

Depending on the device, several tools can be used:

oEcoStruxure Machine Expert,

oThird-party tools (for example: SoMove),

oDevice Web server,

oDirectly on the device (with embedded HMI),

o

 

For more details, refer to the documentation of the device.

Back Up Application

Once the machine commissioning is completed, and before operation phase, upload and save project for further use.

Depending of the controller, several methods are available:

oEcoStruxure Machine Expert: Perform a backup of the application program to the hard disk of the PC.

oController Web server

oController clone function (with SD card).

o

For more details, refer to the documentation of the device.
