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!

• The device is not connected "online" with the »Engineer«. The "offline" parameter
value set in the project is displayed.
• So-called "display parameters" are parameters which are only used to show
status information and actual values and which feature a read-only access.
• The device is connected "online" with the »Engineer«. The current parameter
value of the device is displayed.
• The symbol in front of a parameter value indicates that the value in the device
differs from the parameter value set in the project.
• The device is "online", i.e. connected to »Engineer«. The current parameter value
of a display parameter of the device is shown.

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 form of representation of the Project view bar: Filtering the
project tree.
•For instance, the Project view bar can be masked out to increase the size
of the Workspace. User interface
Specify the standard memory location for the creation of »Engineer«
projects
• The standard memory location can also be defined when a new project is
created. Updating projects while opening them: Adapting project file
from previous version ( 39)
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.

4 Getting started: creating a project
Projects are created in the »Engineer« to show the machine/system concept in the project tree. In
this project file, all parameterisation and configuration settings of the automation system are
saved.
