2 Safety instructions

Please observe the following safety instructions when you want to commission a controller or system using the »Engineer«.

 Read the documentation supplied with the controller or the individual components of

the system carefully before you start to commission the devices with the »Engineer«!

The device documentation contains safety instructions which must be observed!

 Danger!

If required, systems with integrated controllers have to be equipped with additional monitoring and protective equipment in accordance with the safety regulations valid in each case (e.g. law on technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents), so that an impermissible operating status does not endanger persons or equipment.

During commissioning persons must keep a safe distance from the motor or the machine parts driven by the motor. Otherwise there would be a risk of injury by the moving machine parts.

 Stop!

If you change parameters in the »Engineer« while the controller is connected online, the changes will be directly accepted by the controller!

An incorrect parameterisation can result in unpredictable motor movements. By an unintentional direction of rotation, too high speeds or jerky operation, powered machine parts can be damaged!

Specifies that the »Engineer« automatically writes the required entries into the Windows registry to start external programs.

• Like this the external program is registered for use in the »Engineer« and can thus be called by the »Engineer«. Registration is effected in accordance with the general Windows operating system standards.

• This option is activated by default.

• Change representation of the Project view bar

• Standard memory location for »Engineer« projects

• Representation of descriptive texts

Example:

When a Servo Drive 9400 HighLine is updated, the »Engineer« calls the »PLC Designer« to compile the program code which was previously created from the function block interconnection.

On the Engineering PC several versions of »Engineer« and/or the »PLC Designer« can be installed. When the option is activated, the »Engineer« automatically ensures that the "suitable" (expected) »PLC Designer« version is used for the compilation process.

Note: If unexpected malfunction on your system occurs by thi s procedure, you can

deactivate this option. For instance administrated access authorisation can prevent the »Engineer«

from writing into the registry.

In order to ensure that the external programs can be called by the »Engineer«, you then have to make sure that after installing the »Engineer« no other version of the program to be called by the »Engineer« has been installed on your Engineering PC. Otherwise malfunction or an unexpected

response of the controller may result!

Specify the type of representation of the descriptive texts.

• The standard setting is "simple and self-explanatory". By this the respective descriptive text is reduced to the essential.

• "Formally more clearly" provides further information. Hence, the descriptive texts are written in greater detail.

• The option for instance has a (device-independent) effect on all codes and selection texts in the »Engineer«, which contain further descriptive texts.

• The option will become effective after an »Engineer« restart.

5 Mapping the system structure in the »Engineer« project

The »Engineer« provides for a cross-device parameterisation, configuration, and diagnostics of individual components and machine control systems. For this, map the system structure of your automation system in the »Engineer«.

Getting started

In the project tree/device tree, you create the hierarchical project structure that usually results from the following components:

• ... the functional division of the whole system into different partial systems/modules (e.g. conveyor and press) as well as from

• ... components of the automation system (e.g. inverters, control systems, motors).

 Tip!

On the basis of your system you can represent this structure 1:1 in the »Engineer« project.

You can modularise the structure of the machine system with several system modules/ axes.

 Tip!

Name the individual system modules uniquely. Orient yourself on your real machine structure in order to be able to clearly identify the individual project elements.

Inserting components

After the system structure has been represented in the form of system modules and axes, the suitable components (inverters, motors, I/O systems, gearboxes, etc.) must be inserted:

 Tip!

For documentation purposes, every element in the Project view can be provided with notes and file attachments (images, circuit diagrams, CAD data, etc.).

Documentation referring to the whole system can be attached to the Project root, for instance.

If you select an element in the Project view and press the <F2> function key, you can change the name of the element:

•Press the <Input key> to accept the change, or the <ESC> key to discard the change.

6 Establishing an online connection

In this chapter you will learn about how you can establish an online connection with the »Engineer« and how you can close this online connection again.

An online connection is required to e.g. make parameter settings in the device or for diagnosing the device. The »Engineer« can have online connections to multiple devices at the same time.

To establish an online connection, the desired device / devices must

• ... be inserted into the Project tree and

• ... be connected to the Engineering PC via suitable communication accessories (e.g. diagnostic adapters, system bus adapters or Ethernet).

 Stop!

If you change parameters in the »Engineer« while the controller is connected online, the changes will be directly accepted by the controller!

 Detailed information about the respective bus system can be found in the corresponding

communication manual

The »Engineer« issues a warning if several devices within the same project attempt to access the same communication path. This prevents several devices from being online via the same communication path. Example:

• Further use of the communication path is not possible. Activating the OK button closes the

dialog box. Select another configuration for the communication path of the other device.

Setting the communication path

Several project devices access the same physical device

( 79)

Function

• By means of the serial number the »Engineer« detects that several project devices attempt to access the same physical device via different device access paths.

• If one of the other project devices is online, the communication path will be occupied. The second device attempting to use the communication path will be set offline immediately.

Remedy:

The communication path must be set.

• The reading out of the serial number must be switched off manually.
