12.5 Cold start
For proper function, Zimmer GmbH recommends that the actuator and sensor voltage be supplied with power separately.
The sensor supply must be switched on first.
As soon as the product is communicating with the PLC, the actuator power supply can be switched on.
Depending on the application, simultaneous activation of both voltages is also possible.
INFORMATION
If the sensor supply is disconnected, the C/Q signal (IO-Link) must be disconnected as well.
