Starting Up Your Control System
This chapter describes how to start up your control system. To accomplish
this, you must go through eight procedures.
Start–up involves the following procedures to be carried out in sequence:
1. Inspect your installation.
2. Disconnect motion–causing devices.
3. Initialize and test your processor.
4. Test your inputs.
5. Test your outputs.
6. Enter and test your program.
7. Observe control motion.
8. Conduct a dry run of your application.
These procedures isolate problems such as wiring mistakes, equipment
malfunction, and programming errors in a systematic, controlled manner.
We urge you to go through these procedures very carefully. This will help
you avoid possible personal injury and equipment damage.
Important: Do not attempt system start–up until you are thoroughly
familiar with the controller components and
programming/editing techniques. You must also be thoroughly
familiar with the particular application.
For general recommendation concerning installation safety requirements and
safety requirements and safety related work practices, refer to NFPA 70E,
Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces.
