10.5 Operation
The BWH 011 base station needs no special handling. It is ready for operation as soon as
power is supplied and the application is started.
The process for coupling the operating panel can be found in chapter 10.5.1.
The meaning of the LED displays is described in chapter 6.3.
The IP addresses are configured using LASAL.
The BWH is coupled via the operating panel.
10.5.1
Coupling the Operating Panel
To couple the operating panel, a functioning WLAN connection is required.
As soon as the operator is located in the operational range of the base station or machine
with the HGW, the operating panel can be coupled with the machine. For this purpose, see
the documentation of the corresponding class.
If the operating panel has Safety functions and the base station is coupled with a safety-
related control, it is indicated via the activated 7-segment display which shows the machine
number.
10.5.2
Decoupling the Operating Panel
The operating device can be separated from the machine in several ways.
1. Separating the Safety functions only: In this case, the operating panel can be further
used as a control unit without Safety.
2. Decoupling the operating panel from the machine: The panel has no operating func-
tion and is therewith not a part of the system control unit.
3. Deactivating the WLAN connection: In this case, the panel is used offline only and
has no connection to the machine.
To avoid an emergency stop, perform a controlled decoupling of the HGW.
