Procedure for commissioning via STARTER
Basic procedure using STARTER
STARTER uses a sequence of dialog screens for entering the required drive unit data.
NOTICE
These dialog screens contain default settings, which you may have to change according to
your application and configuration.
This is intentional because
By taking time to consider what configuration data you enter, you can prevent
inconsistencies between the project data and drive unit data (identifiable in online mode).
