Error diagnostics
An error which occurrs during commissioning or operation is normally displayed on
the MP270 by means of a system message.
Appendix C of this manual contains a list of some of the most important system
messages and explanations on how to eliminate the causes.
3.1 Initial Startup
Action
During initial commissioning, the runtime software ProTool/ProRT and configuration
needed to operate the MP270 must be loaded from the configuration computer
onto the MP270. To do this, carry out the following steps in the sequence
described:
Step Action
1 Connect the IF2 interface (RS232/) on the MP270 to the PU or PC by means of a
suitable standard cable.
2 Switch on the MP270’s power supply.
Since, up to this point, no configuration has been loaded, the MP270 switches
automatically to download mode and waits for data transfer from the PC/PU.
3 Start the download operation on the PC or PU to the MP270. The settings
necessary on the configuration computer for the download operation are
provided in the user’s guide
ProTool Configuring Windows-based Systems.
The MP270 checks the connection to the PC/PU. If the connection is not
available or defective, the MP270 issues the corresponding error message.
If the connection is correct, downloading of the configuration begins. The runtime
software is automatically downloaded with the configuration data.
After downloading has been completed successfully, the MP270 restarts and
displays the start screen associated with the configuration just loaded.
Set date/time
When the MP270 is disconnected from the power supply for a longer period, e.g.
after the initial commissioning, the date and time have to be updated. Information
on this is available on Page 5-16.
