9 Commissioning
9.1 Important notes
DANGER
Serious risk of injury!
• Only specialist personnel with extensive knowledge in the areas of electrical engineering /
drive technology are allowed to install and commission the equipment.
• Check that all live connection points are protected against accidental contact. Dangerous
voltages can occur, up to 900 V.
• Never undo the electrical connections to the motor when it is live. The residual charge in the
capacitors of the servo drives can produce dangerous voltages up to 5 minutes after the
mains supply has been switched off.
• The surface temperature of the motor can exceed 100 °C in operation. Check (measure) the
temperature of the motor. Wait until the motor has cooled down below 40 °C before touching
it.
• Make sure that, even if the drive starts to move unintentionally, no danger can result for
personnel or machinery.
9.2
Guide for commissioning
The procedure for commissioning is described as an example.
A different method may be appropriate or necessary, depending on the application of the equipment.
• Check the assembly and orientation of the motor.
• Check the drive components (coupling, gear unit, pulley) for the correct seating and setting (observe the
permissible radial and axial forces).
• Check the wiring and connections to the motor and the servo drive. Check that the earthing is correct.
• Test the function of the holding brake, if used. (apply 24 V, the brake must be released).
• Check whether the rotor of the motor revolves freely (release the brake, if necessary). Listen out for grinding
noises.
• Check that all the required measures against accidental contact with live and moving parts have been
carried out.
• Carry out any further tests which are specifically required for your system.
• Now commission the drive according to the commissioning instructions for the servo drive.
• In multi-axis systems, individually commission each drive unit (servo drive/motor(s)).
9.3 Troubleshooting
The following table is to be seen as a “First Aid” box. There can be a large number of different reasons for a
fault, depending on the particular conditions in your system. The fault causes described below are mostly those
which directly influence the motor. Peculiarities which show up in the control behaviour can usually be traced
back to an error in the parameterisation of the servo drive. The documentation for the servo drive and the
commissioning software provides information on these matters.
For multi-axis systems there may be further hidden reasons for faults.
Our applications department can give you further help with your problems.
