10.3 Initial System Test
10.3.1 Unpacking, mounting, and wiring
Unpack the AKD-C and accessories. Observe the safety instructions in the doc-
umentation.
Mount the AKD-C (
# 47)ff.
Connect the AKD-N via the hybrid cables to the AKD-C (
# 51)ff.
Connect motors to the connected AKD-N. See
AKD-N Installation Manual
for more
information.
Make sure you have on hand the following information about the drive components:
rated mains supply voltage
motor type (motor data, if the motor type is not listed in the motor database)
feedback unit built into the motor (type, poles/lines/protocol)
moment of inertia of the load
Connect a PC with the installed WorkBench setup software to connector X18. See
AKD-
C Installation Manual
for more information.
10.3.2 Set IP address
The AKD-C node address can be set with the rotary switch (
# 79), with the WorkBench
setup software or via the fieldbus.
10.3.3 Confirm connections
Switch on 24 VDC logic power for the system through the AKD-C X13 connector (mains sup-
ply voltage is not needed for communications).
Confirm that the green link LEDs on the AKD-C and on the PC are both illuminated.
While the PC is connecting, your statusbar will show the following acquiring icon:
Wait for this icon to change to the limited functionality icon (this process can take up to one
minute).
Although Windows displays this limited functionality icon for the drive connection, the PC
can communicate fully with the drive. Using WorkBench, you can now configure the drive
through this connection.
