3 Commissioning
Before switching on, check whether the power supply for the gateway is
connected correctly. The configuration and installation of the SmartWire-DT
line must also have been carried out correctly with all modules connected.
Commissioning takes place in several steps:
1
Commissioning the SmartWire-DT line
2
Creating the project configuration and transferring it to the gateway.
3
Setting Ethernet communication parameters.
4
Create a connection to the field bus.
5
Load and start the PLC program.
Rules for successfully commissioning an EU5C-EIP-MODTCP
Make sure to follow the rules below in order to successfully commission the
gateway:
In order to be able to run the device, the target configuration and the planned
SWD configuration must be stored in it. Both must be identical. The device
will only start properly if the actual configuration matches the target configu-
ration when the device starts and the target configuration matches the
planned SWD configuration.
3.1 Putting the SmartWire-DT into operation
Chapter 8 "What you need to know about SmartWire-DT“, page 81 goes
over the terms and basic knowledge related to SmartWire-DT.
Before the gateway can exchange data with the PLC, the target configuration
needs to be imported and stored in the gateway. The target configuration will
be compared with the current actual configuration every time the gateway is
started. During this process, the gateway will determine whether there are
any SWD modules that cannot be reached or whether a wrong type of mod-
ule is plugged into the SWD line. SmartWire-DT's response to any detected
DANGER
If you already have integrated devices and equipment in a sys-
tem, block off any parts of the system that are connected to the
working area in order to prevent access. This will ensure that no
one will be injured if the system behaves unexpectedly, e.g.,
motors start up unexpectedly.
DANGER
Switch off the power supply whenever you are reconnecting
modules in the SmartWire-DT system. The SmartWire-DT mod-
ules may be permanently ruined otherwise!
