Introduction
Commissioning of the SMCI36 motor controller is described below.
If you want to work with a PLC or your own program later, you will find the necessary
information in the separate "Programming Manual".
Familiarize yourself with the SMCI36 controller and the corresponding control software
before you configure the controller for your application.
This section describes the main first steps you need to take to be able to begin
working with the SMCI36 and the NanoPro software (RS485) or NanoCAN software
(CANopen) from a PC. You will find more detailed information in the separate
NanoPro and NanoCAN manuals.
