!
ATTENTION: During all phases of the dry run test, station a
person ready to operate an emergency–stop switch if necessary.
The emergency–stop switch will de–energize the master control
relay and remove power from the machine. This circuit must be
hardwired only, it must not be programmed.
After thoroughly checking out the controller system and program, proceed
with a dry run of the application with all of the output devices enabled. This
dry run will vary with the application. For example, a machine tool dry run
might test the program with all outputs enabled but without tooling an actual
part.
After you check out the entire system, and your dry run has been completed
satisfactorily, we recommend that you load your program into an EEPROM
memory module for back–up program storage. See chapter 3 for more
information. Refer to the Hand–Held Terminal User Manual, Catalog
Number 1747–NP002, or the Advanced Programming Software User
Manual, Catalog Number 1747–NM002, for directions on loading the
EEPROM from RAM.
This step completes the start–up procedures. Your SLC Programmable
Controller is now ready for operation.
