MAKING THE SYSTEM WORK
6.1 Commissioning
the
System
The current loop needs to be commissioned to enable the system to locate and identify every actuator.
The master station and laptop PC can be used to perform the commissioning. At the time of
commissioning the loop all the actuators must be made available, though they may be locked in ‘hand
only’ control. All field units must have a unique network address.
The two-wire loop and all the actuators should be connected to the master station, with all the
actuators left without power, except for the one furthest from port A. Disconnect the wires from port B
and browse to the master station web pages on the PC, then go to the
System Diagnostics
page.
Select
Option 1 Diagnostics
by clicking on the
diagnostics
button.
ALWAYS ENSURE THE PLANT IS IN A SAFE CONDITION
AND ALL THE ACTUATOR CONTROLS ARE PLACED IN
LOCAL BEFORE COMMENCING ANY COMMISSIONING
OR FAULT FINDING ON THE SYSTEM
