Commissioning
7.1
Measures to be performed prior to the initial commissioning
Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation and configuration of the device(s).
Before switch-on, recheck all connections and ensure that they have been properly made.
7.2
Function Test
"Power On" test
After connecting the operating voltage, the BPS 37 performs an automatic "Power On" function test.
Subsequently, the green LED lights up in the optical window of the BPS 37.
Interface
Proper function of the interface can be most easily tested in service operation using the service interface
with the "BPSConfig" configuration software and a notebook computer. For order numbers, see Table 5.1
on page 14.
"Online" commands
Using the online commands, important device functions can be checked, e.g. proper functioning of the
laser.
Problems
If a problem occurs that cannot be rectified even after checking all electrical connections and settings on
the devices and on the host, please contact the closest Leuze service organization (see back page of this
operating manual).
7.3
Setting the parameters
You have now commissioned the BPS. Usually, you will have to configure it before you can use it. Using
the parameter options made available by the BPS, you can configure the BPS to suit your individual area
of application. For instructions regarding the various setting options, refer to Chapter 9 or the online help
for the BPSConfig program.
The setting is usually accomplished by using the program BPSConfig, see "Installing the "BPSConfig" soft
ware" on page 29.
The various parameter sets are explained briefly in the following Chapter 7.3.1, to understand what is
happening during parameter setting.
The setting of the parameters then takes place in the "service" operating mode, which is described in
7.3.1 Parameter sets
In the BPS 37 three different parameter sets are administered:
• Parameter set with the factory settings in the ROM
• Current parameter set in EEPROM
• Working copy of the current parameter set in the RAM
Before a parameter set is loaded into the memory of the BPS 37 processor, the validity of the parameter
set is verified using check sums.
Factory default parameter set
This parameter set contains the factory-set default settings for all parameters of the BPS 37. It is perma
-
nently stored in the ROM of the BPS 37. The parameter set with the default settings is loaded into the
memory of the BPS 37,
• the first time the device is commissioned after delivery
• following the command "Factory Default" in the configuration program
• if the check sums of the current parameter set are invalid.
