Commissioning

Overview

The following sections describe the procedure of activating the Sercos communication phase CP4 via EcoStruxure Machine Expert Logic Builder. In this communication phase, the Sercos bus is operational.

This is typically done multiple times during the configuration of the Sercos devices and the creation of your motion application. The following sections do not describe the commissioning of the final machine/process.

WARNING
	UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Verify that a risk assessment as per ISO 12100 and/or other equivalent assessment has been conducted prior to performing the commissioning procedure with devices which are not simulated. Verify that all required measures such as, but not limited to, installation of guards, have been taken to avoid the hazards identified in your risk assessment. Fully read and understand all pertinent documentation of all software and equipment used in your application. Follow all instructions concerning commissioning in the documentation of all software and equipment used in your application. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Logging in and Phasing up or Down

Step	Action
1	In EcoStruxure Machine Expert Logic Builder, click the Login button or press the key combination Alt+F8 to log in to the Sercos master.
2	Confirm the message displayed if the corresponding prerequisites and conditions are met. Result: The application and setup are downloaded to the controller. Detected errors, alerts, and other messages are displayed in the Messages window.
3	Display the Device tree by clicking View > Navigators > Device tree.
4	Double-click the node SercosMaster (Sercos Master).
5	Display the tab Parameters of the Sercos master.
6	Expand the parameter group SercosPhaseChanger by clicking the corresponding plus sign.
7	For phase-up, at least one device must be physically connected to the Sercos master. The other devices can be run as simulated devices. Set the parameter DesiredPhase to one of the following values: NRT / -1 (Ethernet communication available, no Sercos communication) Phase 0 / 0 Phase 1 / 1 Phase 2 / 2 (service channel available for acyclic Sercos communication: reading and writing parameters via function blocks, execution of procedure commands) Phase 3 / 3 Phase 4 / 4 (real-time Sercos communication available, Sercos bus operational)
