Commissioning
Do not commission without a check by qualified safety personnel!
The system using the EFI gateway must be checked and released by qualified safety per-
sonnel before being commissioned. This applies for the initial commissioning, re-commis-
sioning and after changes. Please read the notes in chapter 2
Commissioning requires the following steps:
configuration (see section 6.1
technical starting-up with full approval of the application (see section 6.2
” on page
6.1
Configuration
All the available functions of your application can be interlinked within the FPLC program.
Therefore you must already decide during the configuration which concrete safety
components you want to use in your application.
For example, it is not sufficient to specify that a safety light curtain is required. You have to
decide which type is to be used and which functions you want to use.
Derive the concrete devices that you want to use at the EFI gateway from your
specifications. Begin with the devices at the EFI connections. First carry out a
configuration of the subsystem for these devices.
On the basis of the previous decision specify the concrete field devices required to
control the EFI devices, for example a specific reset button or a suitable type of the
operating mode selector switch.
Determine the concrete types of all the further field devices and their functional
behaviour for your application.
In as far as you use devices from SICK at the EFI connections, it may be useful to already
create a cor
responding “project” in the CDS during the configuration stage.
There you can
specify the available functions and the required parameters of the corresponding devices
with dialog support and have a configuration design printed out.
