Procedure for commissioning with STARTER
Basic procedure when using STARTER
STARTER uses a series of interactive screens to enter the data required for the drive unit.
Note
The interactive screens are pre
-assigned defaults that you need to adapt to your application
and configuration under certain circumstances.
This is a deliberate pro
cedure!
Target: By taking time to consider what configuration data you enter, you can prevent
inconsistencies between the project data and drive unit data (identifiable in online mode).
8.5.2.1
