6. Start-up procedure
EPROM version:
After switching on the power supply, the controller displays the current EPROM
version installed for a few seconds in the bottom display panel; e.g.,
1.00
,. Device type 6494 is
displayed in the top display panel (note: important information to be specified when servicing
or placing customer inquiries!).
IMPORTANT
Always proceed in the following order: 1) configuration, 2) parameterization, 3) optimiza-
tion (same order as described in this manual!)
1) Configuration:
After power is supplied to the controller and all inputs/outputs have been
connected, the controller must be adapted (tuned) to the control task to be solved by determining
functions in the configuration level. For this purpose, individual configuration blocks are to be
configured and set as detailed in section 4.2.3.
2) Parameterization:
Whether the controller shall operate as a P, PI, PD or PID controller must be
determined in the parameterization level. Even in this case, all parameterization options must
be set (section 4.2.2).
3) Optimization:
Control parameters
P
,
I
and
d
for adaption to the controlled system must be set
and modified in the optimization procedure (section 6.2). P, I and d represent Kp, Tn and Tv
(proportional, reset and rate), resp.
6.1 Configure the different controller outputs
The different controller output signals also require a different procedure in the commissioning
phase. Proceed in the order presented below:

(continuous)
— Determine the operating direction via
