System Commissioning
Commissioning Supervisory and CNC System
This section provides general procedures for verifying the function of a completed CNC Machining Accelerator
Toolkit system.
Verify Network Communication
Verify network communication between HMI terminal, Logix controller, and devices.
HMI Terminal to Logix Controller Communication
To determine if communication is lost between the HMI terminal and Logix controller, look for the following:
• Error messages on the diagnostic display
• Wireframes on the display
If there are communication problems with the controller, the diagnostic display lists messages (for example, CIP
Connection Error). If the HMI terminal can communicate with the controller, but it cannot read/write specific
tags, the diagnostic display lists similar messages (for example, Error Writing to
xxxxx_Tag ).
The HMI terminal displays wireframes
and ????? on objects with tags it cannot
read from the controller.
These are a few of the most common problems:
• Hardware problem such as a Ethernet cable disconnected.
• Communication path not properly configured in FactoryTalk View software, Communication Setup.
• Tag names in the parameter files not matching the tag names in the controller.
IMPORTANT These commissioning procedures assume all applications are downloaded, all system devices are commissioned, a
personal computer with RSLogix 5000 software is available, and a PanelView Plus terminal is powered and connected to
the system’s EtherNet/IP network.
