1.7 Setup
1.7.1 Important Notes
Before testing and setup, the manufacturer of the machine must generate a risk assessment
for the machine and take appropriate measures so that unforeseen movements cannot
cause injury or damage to any person or property.
Only professional personnel with extensive knowledge in the fields of electrical engineering
and drive technology are allowed to test and set up the device.
Sets of data that have been stored on data media are not safe against unintended alteration
by other persons. Unexpected move could be the result if you use unchecked data. After
loading a set of data you must therefore always check all parameters before enabling the
device.
1.7.2 Setup with KAS IDE
The controller and drives must be adapted to the requirements of your machine. For most
applications, you can use a PC and KAS IDE software ("Kollmorgen Automation Suite Integ-
rated development environment) to set up the operating conditions and parameters for your
motion system. The PC is connected to the PCMM by an Ethernet cable.
The KAS IDE integrated development environment contains tools for configuring the Ether-
CAT Network, setup and tuning Kollmorgen drives, creating a PLC program, and creating an
HMI.
The KAS IDE is available by DVD or electronic delivery. Please contact your Kollmorgen
sales representative for information. The PCMM Runtime is available from the KDN
(http://kdn.kollmorgen.com) or Kollmorgen Website (http://www.kollmorgen.com).
Kollmorgen offers training and familiarization courses.
See "KAS getting started" guide for proceeding with setup.
1.8 Troubleshooting the PCMM
Motion Controller problems occur for a variety of reasons, depending on the conditions in your
installation. The causes of faults in multi-axis systems can be especially complex. If you can-
not resolve a fault or other issue using the troubleshooting guidance presented below, cus-
tomer support can give you further assistance.
The most common faults are listed in Chapter "Fault and Warning Messages" (➜ # 154).
